General safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.
Service
Do not attempt to service aproduct yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center. Use only a
service provider who is approved to repair your particular product.
Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are referred to as Customer Replaceable
Units, or CRUs. Lenovo expressly identifies CRUs as such, and provides documentation with instructions when it is
appropriate for customers to replace those parts. You must closely follow all instructions when performing such
replacements. Always make sure that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source
before you attempt the replacement. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.
Never wrap apower cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in ways that can cause
the cord to fray, crack or crimp. This can present asafety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.
Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs,
toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause ashort circuit, particularly if the cord or
power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or
the connector terminals on the adapter which can eventually result in overheating.
Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that all power cord connectors are securely
and completely plugged into receptacles.

Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or shows signs of overheating (such as
deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere on the power adapter.
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or overheating or where
the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way.
Extension cords and related devices
Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies, and power strips that you use are rated to
handle the electrical requirements of the product. Never overload these devices. If power strips are used, the load should
not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more information if you have questions about power
loads, power requirements, and input ratings.
Plugs and outlets
If areceptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer equipment appears to be damaged or corroded,
do not use the outlet until it is replaced by aqualified electrician.
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to obtain areplacement.
Some products are equipped with athree-pronged plug. This plug fits only into agrounded electrical outlet. This is a
safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature by trying to insert it into anon-grounded outlet. If you cannot insert the
plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet adapter or to replace the outlet with one that enables
this safety feature. Never overload an electrical outlet. The overall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the
branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician for more information if you have questions about power loads and branch
circuit ratings.
Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to the equipment. Do
not fully extend power cords in away that will stress the cords.
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully

Batteries
All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain anon-rechargeable coin cell battery to provide power to the
system clock. In addition many mobile products such as ThinkPad notebook PCs utilize arechargeable battery pack to
provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by Lenovo for use with your product have been tested
for compatibility and should only be replaced with Lenovo approved parts.
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate batteries or short circuit the metal
contacts. Do not expose the battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly according to
instructions included in the product documentation.
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to “vent” from the
battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the buildup of
foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain areplacement from the battery manufacturer.
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some rechargeable batteries (particularly
Lithium Ion batteries), leaving abattery unused in adischarged state could increase the risk of abattery short circuit,
which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose asafety hazard. Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion
batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in adischarged state.
Heat and product ventilation
Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Notebook PCs can generate asignificant
amount of heat due to their compact size. Always follow these basic precautions:
vDo not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an extended period
when the computer is functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer produces some heat during normal
operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially, askin burn.
vDo not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or in explosive environments.
vVentilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliable operation.
These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on abed, sofa, carpet, or other flexible
surface. Never block, cover or disable these features.
General safety guidelines ix

CD and DVD drive safety
CD and DVD drives spin discs at ahigh speed. If aCD or DVD is cracked or otherwise physically damaged, it is
possible for the disc to break apart or even shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect against possible injury due to
this situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do the following:
vAlways store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging
vAlways store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources
vRemove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use
vDo not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or their packaging
vCheck CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or damaged discs
