Explanation of Hard Disk Capacity  
Dear user,  
While using your computer, you may discover that the nominal hard  
disk capacity indicated is somewhat different from the disk capacity  
displayed by the operating system. For example, a nominal 40GB hard  
disk will appear as less than 40GB in the operating system. This  
discrepancy is not an error in hard disk installation nor any other  
problem, but a normal phenomenon of computers. This phenomenon is  
primarily due to the following reasons:  
I. Different standards used by the manufacturer and operating  
system when calculating hard disk capacity  
Hard disk manufacturers use a radix of 1000, i.e. 1G = 1,000MB, 1MB =  
1,000KB, 1KB = 1,000 bytes. However, when identifying hard disk capacity,  
operating systems use a radix of 1024, i.e. 1GB = 1,024MB, 1MB = 1,024KB,  
1KB = 1,024 bytes. The standard adopted by your computer is that of the  
hard disk manufacturers. Since the standards adopted by the hard disk  
manufacturer and operating system are different, the hard disk capacity  
displayed by the operating system will be different from the nominal hard  
disk capacity.  
For example, if the hard disk is nominally X G, even when it is completely  
empty, the capacity displayed by the operating system will be:  
X × 1000 × 1000 × 1000/ (1024 × 1024 × 1024) X × 0.931 G

Lenovo IdeaPad Y730 UG V1.0_en.book Page 4 Friday, June 27, 2008 6:06 PM  
If a portion of the hard disk space has been used for some specific purpose,  
then the capacity indicated by the operating system will be even less than  
X × 0.931 G.  
II. A portion of the hard disk space is used for specific purposes  
Lenovo computers come with preinstalled OneKey Rescue System, so the  
hard disk has a special portion partitioned before delivery, which is used to  
store hard disk mirror and OneKey Rescue System program files. The size  
of the reserved space for this partition varies according to the model,  
operating system and software of the computer. For the sake of safety, this  
partition is not evident, which is commonly referred to as a “hidden  
partition”.  
In addition, after the hard disk is partitioned or formatted, the system will  
assign a certain amount of hard disk space for the system files.  
For the above reasons, the available hard disk space indicated by the  
operating system is always less than the computer’s nominal hard disk  
capacity.

Using Passwords  
Using passwords helps prevent your computer from being used by others.  
Once you set a password and enable it, a prompt appears on the screen  
each time you power on the computer. Enter your password at the prompt.  
The computer cannot be used unless you enter the correct password.  
Make sure that only authorized individuals access your computer.  
Establishing different kinds of passwords requires that other possible users  
know the proper passwords in order to access your computer or your data.  
As many as three passwords might be needed for your computer: the  
Supervisor password, the User password, and the Hard disk drive (HDD)  
password. When the Supervisor password is set, only the Supervisor  
password entitles you full control of the computer.  
ƒ Supervisor password  
With a Supervisor password, you can get full control of the computer. It  
also can be used as a power-on password if Password on boot is set to  
Enabled. Also, when you enter the InsydeH20 Setup Utility with a  
Supervisor password, you are entitled to set all of the options.  
ƒ User password  
If a User password is set and Password on boot is set to Enabled, a  
password prompt appears when you turn on the computer.  
Unauthorized users cannot get access to configuration data. You can also  
use the User password to enter the InsydeH20 Setup Utility, but only a  
part of the options can be set. User password can not be set if Supervisor  
password is not set.

Using battery and AC adapter-----------------------------------------------  
When you need to use your computer away from electrical outlets, you  
depend on battery power to keep your computer running. Different  
computer components consume power at different rates. The more you use  
the power-intensive components, the faster you consume battery power.  
Your Computer Batteries  
Your computer batteries enable you to do more, save more, and spend  
more time unplugged. Mobility has revolutionized business by enabling  
you to take your work wherever you go. With your computer batteries, you  
will be able to work longer without being tied to an electrical outlet.  
Note:  
The operating system may run slower when using the battery mode.

Chapter 2. Using Your Computer  
Checking Battery Status  
You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by using  
Windows Power options.  
The rate at which you use battery power determines how long you can use  
the battery of your computer between charges. As each computer user has  
different habits and needs, it is difficult to predict how long a battery  
charge will last. There are two main factors:  
ƒ The amount of energy stored in the battery when you begin to work.  
ƒ The way you use your computer: for example, how often you access the  
hard disk drive and how bright you make the computer display.  
Using the AC Adapter  
The power to run your computer can come either from the lithium-ion (Li-  
ion) battery pack provided with it, or from AC power through the AC  
adapter. While you use AC power, the battery charges automatically.  
The AC adapter that comes with your computer has two basic components:  
1
2
The transformer pack that converts AC power for use with the computer.  
The power cord that plugs into the AC outlet and into the transformer pack.

Chapter 2. Using Your Computer  
Attention:  
Using an improper power cord could cause severe damage to your computer.  
To use the AC adapter, do the following. Be sure to take these steps in the  
order in which they are given here.  
1 Connect the power cord to the transformer pack.  
2 Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.  
3 Connect the AC adapter to the AC power adapter jack of the computer.  
You can check the status of your battery at any time by looking at the  
battery meter at the bottom of your display.  
Note:  
ƒ
When you do not use the AC adapter, disconnect it from the electrical outlet.  
ƒ Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the AC power transformer  
pack when it is connected to the transformer.  
ƒ You can charge the battery when the AC adapter is connected to the  
computer and the battery is installed. You need to charge it in any of the  
following conditions:  
ƒ When you purchase a new battery  
ƒ If the battery status indicator (amber) starts blinking  
ƒ If the battery has not been used for a long time  
Before you charge the battery, make sure that its temperature is at least 10  
degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit).

Chapter 2. Using Your Computer  
Charging the Battery  
When you check the battery status and find that the battery is low, you  
need to charge the battery or replace it with a charged battery.  
If an AC outlet is convenient, first, connect the power cord to the  
transformer pack; second, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet; and  
then connect the AC adapter to the power jack of the computer.  
The charging time is affected by the physical environment.  
Note:  
To increase the life of the battery, the computer does not start recharging  
the battery if the remaining power is no less than 95 percent.  
Handling the Battery  
Danger:  
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack.  
Attempting to do so can cause an explosion, or liquid leakage from the  
battery pack.  
A battery pack other than the one specified by Lenovo, or a disassembled  
or modified battery pack is not covered by the warranty.

Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information  
Conditions That Require Immediate Action  
Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product  
damage is serious enough that the product should not be used again until it  
has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorized servicer.  
As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is  
turned on. On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of  
smoke or sparks vent from your product. Or you might hear sounds like  
popping, cracking, or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an  
internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner.  
Or, they might indicate a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks  
or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the Customer  
Support Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support  
phone numbers, see http://consumersupport.lenovo.com.  
Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage or wear  
or signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a  
component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer Support Center  
or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product  
and have it repaired, if necessary.  
In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if  
you have any safety concerns with your product, stop using the product  
and unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until  
you can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.  
ƒ Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors,  
or power supplies that are cracked, broken, or damaged.  
ƒ Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.

ƒ The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed  
to water.  
ƒ The product has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
ƒ The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating  
instructions.

Service and Upgrades  
Attention:  
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so  
by the Customer Support Center or your documentation. Only use a  
service provider who is approved to repair your particular product.  
Note:  
Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer.  
Upgrades typically are referred to as options. Replacement parts  
approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer  
Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with  
instructions when it is appropriate for customers to install options or  
replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing  
or replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not  
necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a product are zero. Before  
you remove the covers from a product equipped with an ac power  
cord, always make sure that the power is turned off and that the  
product is unplugged from any power source. For more information  
on CRUs, See “Appendix B. Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs)” on  
page 119. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer  
Support Center.  
Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power  
cord has been disconnected, the following warnings are required for  
your safety.

Danger:  
Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.  
Attention:  
Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to  
five minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.  
Power Cords and Power Adapters  
Danger:  
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product  
manufacturer. The power cord and power adapter are intended for use  
with this product only. They should never be used with any other  
product.  
The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be  
H03VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm2, or better. For other countries, the suitable  
types shall be used accordingly.  
Never wrap a power cord around a 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 a safety hazard.  
Always route power cords or any other cables so that they will not be  
walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.

Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information  
Protect power cords and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do  
not leave your power cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or  
on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a  
short circuit, particularly if the power cord or power adapter has been  
stressed by misuse. Liquids also can cause gradual corrosion of power  
cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on a power 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 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.

Heat and Product Ventilation  
Danger:  
Computers, AC adapters, and many accessories can generate heat  
when turned on and when batteries are charging. Notebook computers  
can generate a significant amount of heat due to their compact size.  
Always follow these basic precautions:  
ƒ When your computer is turned on or the battery is charging, the base,  
the palm rest, and some other parts may become hot. Avoid keeping  
your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in contact with a  
hot section of the computer for any extended length of time. When you  
use the keyboard, avoid keeping your palms on the palm rest for a  
prolonged period of time. Your computer generates some heat during  
normal operation. The amount of heat depends on the amount of system  
activity and the battery charge level. Extended contact with your body,  
even through clothing, could cause discomfort or even a skin burn.  
Periodically take breaks from using the keyboard by lifting your hands  
from the palm rest; and be careful not to use the keyboard for any  
extended length of time.  
ƒ Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable  
materials or in explosive environments.

Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information  
Caring Your Computer---------------------------------------------------------------  
Though your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work  
environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following  
these important tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your  
computer.  
Be Careful about Where and How You Work  
ƒ Do not leave the base of your computer, or any other part that becomes  
hot during operation, 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 dissipates some heat during normal  
operation. This heat is a function of the level of system activity and  
battery charge level. Extended contact with your body, even through  
clothing, could cause discomfort or, eventually, a skin burn.  
ƒ When the AC adapter is connected to an electrical outlet and your  
computer, it generates heat. Do not place the adapter in contact with any  
part of your body while using it. Never use the AC adapter to warm  
your body. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing,  
may cause a skin burn.  
ƒ Route the cables of an AC adapter, a mouse, a keyboard, a printer, or any  
other electronic device, or communication lines, so that they cannot be  
walked on, tripped over, pinched by your computer or other objects, or in  
any way subjected to treatment that could disturb the operation of your  
computer. Applying strong force to the cables may damage or break them.

Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information  
ƒ Place liquids away from your computer to avoid spills, and keep your  
computer away from water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock).  
ƒ Do not eat or smoke over your keyboard. Particles that fall into your  
keyboard can cause damage.  
ƒ Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the  
risk of suffocation from plastic bags.  
ƒ Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones,  
electrical appliances, or speakers (within 13 cm or 5 in).  
ƒ Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/  
41°F or above 35°C/95°F).  
ƒ Some appliances, such as certain portable desktop fans or air purifiers,  
can produce negative ions. If a computer is close to such an appliance,  
and is exposed for an extended time to air containing negative ions, it  
may become electrostatically charged. Such a charge may be discharged  
through your hands when you touch the keyboard or other parts of the  
computer, or through connectors on I/O devices connected to it. Even  
though this kind of electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the opposite of a  
discharge from your body or clothing to the computer, it poses the same  
risk of a computer malfunction.  
Your computer is designed and manufactured to minimize any effects of  
electrostatic charge. An electrostatic charge above a certain limit,  
however, can increase the risk of ESD. Therefore, when using the  
computer close to an appliance that can produce negative ions, give  
special attention to the following:  
-
Avoid directly exposing your computer to the air from an appliance  
that can produce negative ions.  
-
Keep your computer and peripherals as far as possible from such an  
appliance.

Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information  
-
Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe  
electrostatic discharge.  
Note:  
Not all such appliances cause a significant electrostatic charge.  
When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the  
computer, take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity  
damage:  
-
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build  
up around you.  
-
Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory  
modules, and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed  
circuitry.  
-
-
Prevent others from touching components.  
When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-  
protective package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover  
or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two  
seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.  
Whenever possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-  
protective packaging and install the part without setting it down.  
When this is not possible, place the static-protective packaging on a  
smooth, level surface and place the part on it.  
-
-
Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Take Care in Setting Passwords  
ƒ Remember your passwords. If you forget a supervisor or hard disk  
password, Lenovo authorized service providers will not reset it, and you  
might have to replace your system board or hard disk drive.  
Other Important Tips  
ƒ Your computer modem might use only an analog telephone network, or  
public-switched telephone network (PSTN). Do not connect the modem  
to a PBX (private branch exchange) or any other digital telephone  
extension line because this could damage your modem. Analog phone  
lines are often used in homes, while digital phone lines are often used in

ƒ Turn off the computer and start the recovery process.  
ƒ If your computer uses discs as the recovery media, do not remove  
the disc from the drive until you are prompted to do so.  
ƒ If required, you can find your country's Customer Support Center at the  
following Web address: http://consumersupport.lenovo.com.  
When calling the Customer Support Center, please make sure you have  
your machine type, model, and serial number available and the  
computer is in front of you. Also, if the machine is producing error  
codes, it is helpful to have the error screen on or the message written  
down.  
Device drivers are programs that contain instructions for the operating  
system about how to operate or “drive” a certain piece of hardware. Each  
hardware component on your computer has its own specific driver. If you  
add a new component, the operating system needs to be instructed on  
how to operate that piece of hardware. After you install the driver, the  
operating system can recognize the hardware component and understand  
how to use it.  
Note:  
Due to the fact that drivers are programs, like any other file on your  
computer, they are susceptible to corruption and might not perform  
properly if corruption occurs.

Appendix A. Lenovo Limited Warranty  
This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo hardware products  
you purchased for your own use and not for resale. This warranty may  
sometimes be referred to as the “Statement of Limited Warranty” (SOLW)  
in other documents from Lenovo.  
What This Warranty Covers  
Lenovo warrants that each hardware product is free from defects in materials  
and workmanship under normal use during the warranty period. The  
warranty period for the product starts on the original date of purchase  
specified on your invoice unless Lenovo informs you otherwise in writing.  
The warranty period and type of warranty service that apply to your product  
are designated below under the section titled “Warranty Information.”  
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND  
REPLACES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS  
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND  
FITNESS FOR  
A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR  
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS  
OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY  
NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY  
ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW AND ARE LIMITED IN  
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES  
APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS  
DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED  
WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON DURATION  
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Appendix A. Lenovo Limited Warranty  
How to Obtain Warranty Service  
If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period,  
you may obtain warranty service by contacting Lenovo or an approved  
service provider. Each of them is referred to as a “Service Provider.” A list  
of Service Providers and their telephone numbers is available at  
consumersupport.lenovo.com.  
Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from  
location to location. Charges may apply outside a Service Provider’s  
normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for location-specific  
information.  
What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems  
When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem  
determination and resolution procedures specified.  
Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem  
over the telephone or through remote assistance. Your Service Provider  
may direct you to download and install designated software updates.  
Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you install  
yourself (such as mouse, speaker), called a “Customer Replaceable Unit” or  
“CRU.” If so, your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to  
install.  
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely,  
through your application of software updates, or with a CRU, your Service

Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service  
designated for the product under the section titled “Warranty  
Information.”  
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product,  
your Service Provider will replace it with one that is at least functionally  
equivalent.  
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or  
replace your product, your sole remedy is to return the product to your  
place of purchase or to Lenovo and your purchase price will be refunded.  
Exchange of a Product or Part  
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a product or part, the  
item your Service Provider replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the  
replacement becomes yours. All removed items must be genuine and  
unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working  
order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The  
replacement assumes the warranty status of the replaced item.  
Before your Service Provider exchanges a product or part, you agree to:  
1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not  
under warranty service;  
2. ensure that the product is free of any legal obligations or restrictions  
that prevent its exchange;  
3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider  
service a product that you do not own.

Your Additional Responsibilities  
Where applicable, before service is provided, you agree to:  
1. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider  
specifies;  
2. backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;  
3. provide your Service Provider with all system keys or passwords and  
sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit the terms of  
this warranty to be fulfilled;  
4. ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals  
(“Personal Data”) is deleted from the product or that, with respect to  
any remaining Personal Data you did not delete, you are in compliance  
with all applicable laws.  
Use of Personal Information  
If you obtain service under this warranty, Lenovo will store, use and  
process information about your warranty issue and your contact  
information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail address.  
Lenovo will use this information to perform service under this warranty  
and to improve our business relationship with you, such as to conduct  
internal reviews of the efficiency of the warranty service we provide to  
you. We may contact you to inquire about your satisfaction regarding our  
warranty service or to notify you about any product recalls or safety issues.  
We may also provide this information to entities acting on our behalf to  
accomplish these purposes.

Appendix A. Lenovo Limited Warranty  
A warranty period of 3 years on parts and 1 year on labor means that  
Lenovo provides warranty service without charge for:  
a. parts and labor during the first year of the warranty period (or a longer  
period as required by law); and  
b. parts only, on an exchange basis, in the second and third years of the  
warranty period. Your Service Provider will charge you for any labor  
provided in performance of the repair or replacement(s) in the second  
and third year of warranty period.  
Types of Warranty Service  
1 Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) Service  
Under CRU Service, your Service Provider will ship CRUs to you for you to  
install. Most CRUs are easy to install whereas others may require some  
technical skill and tools. CRU information and replacement instructions are  
shipped with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time  
upon request. You may request that a Service Provider install some CRUs  
under one of the other types of warranty service designated for your  
product. Installation of external CRUs (such as mice, keyboards, or  
monitors) is your responsibility. Lenovo specifies in the materials shipped  
with a replacement CRU whether the defective CRU must be returned.  
When return is required, 1) return instructions, a prepaid return shipping  
label, and a container are included with the replacement CRU, and 2) you  
may be charged for the replacement CRU if your Service Provider does not  
receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the  
replacement.

the product at your location. You must provide a suitable working area to

product to a designated service center.  
3 Courier or Depot Service

Service Provider. You are responsible for disconnecting the product. A

to a designated service center. A courier will pick up your product and  
deliver it to the designated service center. Following its repair or exchange,  
the service center will arrange the return delivery of the product to you.

Appendix B. Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs)  
Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) are computer parts that can be  
upgraded or replaced by the customer. There are two types of CRUs:  
internal and external. External CRUs are easy to install, whereas internal  
CRUs require some technical skills and in some cases might require tools  
such as a screwdriver. However, both internal and external CRUs are safe  
for removal by the customer.  
Customers are responsible for replacing all external CRUs. Internal CRUs  
can be removed and installed by customers or by a Lenovo service  
technician during the warranty period.  
Your computer contains the following types of external CRUs:  
ƒ
External CRUs (pluggable): These CRUs unplug from the computer.  
Examples of these types of CRUs include the AC adapter and power cord.  
ƒ
External CRUs with latches: These CRUs include a latch to help you  
remove and replace the part. Examples of these types of CRUs include  
the notebook main battery, an optical drive, a hard-disk drive, and an  
extended battery.  
Your computer contains the following types of internal CRUs:  
ƒ
Internal CRUs (located behind an access panel): These CRUs are  
isolated parts within the computer that are concealed by an access panel  
that is typically secured by either one or two screws. Once the access  
panel is removed, only the specific CRU is visible. Examples of these  
types of CRUs include memory modules and hard disk drives.  
ƒ
Internal CRUs (located within the product): These CRUs are accessible  
only by opening the computer’s outer case. Examples of these CRUs  
include PCI Express Mini Cards and the integrated keyboard.

Usage Environment and Your Health  
Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card and Bluetooth Daughter Card emit  
radio frequency electromagnetic energy like other radio devices. However,  
the level of energy emitted is far much less than the electromagnetic energy  
emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.  
Due to the fact that Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card and Bluetooth  
Daughter Card operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency  
safety standards and recommendations, Lenovo believes the integrated  
wireless cards are safe for use by consumers. These standards and  
recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and  
result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who  
continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.  
In some situation or environment, the use of Wireless LAN PCI Express  
Mini Card or Bluetooth Daughter Card may be restricted by the proprietor  
of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These  
situations may for example include:

Notice on Deleting Data from Your Hard Disk -------------  
As computers spread into every corner of life, they process more and more  
information. The data on your computer, some of it sensitive, is stored on a  
storage device called the hard disk. Before you dispose of, sell, or hand  
over your computer, you need to delete that data.  
Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded  
software, such as operating systems and application software, may even  
violate License Agreements. You are advised to check the terms and  
conditions of those Agreements.  
Deleting the data from the hard disk is not easy.  
There are methods that seem to delete the data:  
ƒ Move the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin  
command.  
ƒ Use the Delete command.  
ƒ Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.

Appendix D. Notices  
ƒ Using the preinstalled recovery program, bring the hard disk back to  
factory-ship state.  
These operations, however, only change the file allocation of the data; they  
do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is  
disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The data is still  
there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read  
the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk that  
people of bad faith may read and misuse the critical data on hard disks for  
unexpected purposes.  
To prevent the leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take  
responsibility for deleting all the data from the hard disk when you dispose  
of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically  
by smashing the hard disk with a hammer, or magnetically by means of  
strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But we  
recommend that you make use of the software (payware) or service (pay  
service) specifically developed for the purpose.
