California Perchlorate Information:

Perchlorate Material - special handling may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) cable and cord
notice
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords
associated with accessories sold with this product will expose
you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to
cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Using headphones or earphones
If your computer has both a headphone connector and an
audio line-out connector, always use the headphone
connector for headphones (also called a headset) or
earphones.
CAUTION:
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the
equalizer to maximum increases the earphone and
headphone output voltage and the sound pressure level.
Therefore, to protect your hearing, adjust the equalizer to
an appropriate level.
Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period
of time at high volume can be dangerous if the output of the
headphone or earphone connectors do not comply with
specifications of EN 50332-2. The headphone output
connector of your computer complies with EN 50332-2 Sub
clause 7. This specification limits the computer’s maximum
wide band true RMS output voltage to 150 mV. To help
protect against hearing loss, ensure that the headphones or
earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7
Limits) or a wide band characteristic voltage of 75 mV. Using
headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-2 can be
dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.
If your Lenovo computer came with headphones or earphones
in the package, as a set, the combination of the headphones
or earphones and the computer already complies with the
specifications of EN 50332-1. If different headphones or
earphones are used, ensure that they comply with EN 50332-
1 (Clause 6.5 Limitation Values). Using headphones that do
not comply with EN 50332-1 can be dangerous due to
excessive sound pressure levels.
