Read This First
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.
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.

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.
Before moving your computer, do one of the
following: turn it off or press Fn + F1 to put it
in sleep mode or hibernation mode.
Before moving the computer, make sure that
the power on indicator is off. This will help to
prevent damage to the hard disk drive, and
possible loss of data.

Chapter 2. Caring for 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.
Important Tips
Be Careful about Where and How You Work
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Place liquids away from your computer to avoid spills, and keep your
computer away from water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock).
• Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the
risk of suffocation from plastic bags.
• Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones,
electrical appliances, or speakers (without 13 cm or 5 in).
• Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 0°C/
32°F or above 45°C/113°F).

Caring for Your Computer
• 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.
Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe
electrostatic discharge.
Note: Not all such appliances cause a significant electrostatic charge.
Be Gentle with Your Computer
• Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the
keyboard or under the keyboard.
• Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy
objects on your computer, display, or external devices.
Carry Your Computer Properly
• Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off
attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables.
• Be sure your computer is in sleep or hibernation mode, or turned off,
before moving it. This will prevent damage to the hard disk drive and
data loss.
• When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not
pick up or hold your computer by the display.
• Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and
protection. Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or
bag.

Caring for Your Computer
Handle Storage Media and Drives Properly
• If your computer comes with an optical drive, do not touch the surface of
a disc or the lens on the tray.
• Wait until you hear the CD or DVD click into the center pivot of an
optical drive before closing the tray.
• When installing your hard disk, follow the instructions shipped with
your hardware, and apply pressure only where needed on the device.
Take Care in Setting Passwords
• 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
• 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
hotels or office buildings. If you are not sure which kind of phone line
you are using, contact your telephone company.
• Your computer might have both an Ethernet connector and a modem
connector. If so, be sure to connect your communication cable to the
correct one, so your connector is not damaged.
• Register your Lenovo products with Lenovo (refer to the Web page:
computer to you if it is lost or stolen. Registering your computer also
enables Lenovo to notify you about possible technical information and
upgrades.
• Only an authorized Lenovo repair technician should disassemble and
repair your computer.
• Do not modify or tape the latches to keep the display open or closed.
• Take care not to turn your computer over while the AC adapter is
plugged in. This could break the adapter plug.
• Turn off your computer if you are replacing a device, or else verify that
the device is warm- or hot-swappable.

Caring for Your Computer
• Before you install any of the following devices, touch a metal table or a
grounded metal object. This action reduces any static electricity from
your body. The static electricity could damage the device.
–
–
ExpressCard
Memory Card, such as SD Card, Memory Stick, MultiMediaCard,
xD-Picture Card, and Memory Stick Pro card.
–
–
Memory module
PCI Express Card
• When transferring data to or from a Flash Media Card, such as an SD
card, do not put your computer in sleep or hibernation mode before the
data transfer is complete. To do so might cause damage to your data.
Cleaning the Cover of Your Computer
Occasionally clean your computer as follows:
1. Prepare a mixture of a gentle kitchen-use detergent (one that does not
contain abrasive powder or strong chemicals such as acid or alkaline).
Use 5 parts water to 1 part detergent.
2. Absorb the diluted detergent into a sponge.
3. Squeeze excess liquid from the sponge.
4. Wipe the cover with the sponge, using a circular motion and taking care
not to let any excess liquid drip.
5. Wipe the surface to remove the detergent.
6. Rinse the sponge with clean running water.
7. Wipe the cover with the clean sponge.
8. Wipe the surface again with a dry, soft lint-free cloth.
9. Wait for the surface to dry completely and remove any cloth fibers from
the computer surface.
Cleaning Your Computer Keyboard
1. Absorb some isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a soft, dust-free cloth.
2. Wipe each keytop surface with the cloth. Wipe the keys one by one; if
you wipe several keys at a time, the cloth may hook onto an adjacent
key and possibly damage it. Make sure that no liquid drips onto or
between the keys.
3. Allow to dry.
4. To remove any crumbs and dust from beneath the keys, you can use a
camera blower with a brush or cool air from a hair drier.
Note: Avoid spraying cleaner directly on the display or the keyboard.

Caring for Your Computer
Cleaning Your Computer Display
1. Gently wipe the display with a dry, soft lint-free cloth. If you see a
scratchlike mark on your display, it might be a stain transferred from
the keyboard when the cover was pressed from the outside.
2. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth.
3. If the stain remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or a 50-50
mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water that does not contain impurities.
4. Wring out as much of the liquid as you can.
5. Wipe the display again; do not let any liquid drip into the computer.
6. Be sure to dry the display before closing it.

General Posture: Below are some general recommendations for assuming a
healthy working posture. It is best to periodically make minor
modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort
caused by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent, short
breaks from your work will also help to prevent any minor discomfort
associated with your working posture.
Display: Position the display to maintain a comfortable viewing distance of
510-760 mm (20-30 in). Avoid glare or reflections on the display from
overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep the display screen clean
and set the brightness to levels that enable you to see the screen clearly.
Press Fn + up/down arrow key to adjust display brightness.
Head Position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral
(vertical, or upright) position.
Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height
adjustment. Use chair adjustments to best suit your desired posture.
Arm and Hand Position: If available, utilize chair arm rests or an area on
your working surface to provide weight support for your arms. Keep your
forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal) position.
Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.
Leg Position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the
floor or on a footrest.
What If You are Traveling?
It may not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are
using your computer while on the move or in a casual setting. Regardless of
the setting, try to observe as many of the tips as possible. Sitting properly
and using adequate lighting, for example, will help you maintain desirable
levels of comfort and performance.
Questions about Vision?
Your computer’s visual display screen is designed to meet the highest
standards and to provide you with clear, crisp images and large, bright
displays that are easy to see, yet easy on the eyes. Of course, any
concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring. If you have
questions on eye fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision care
specialist for advice.

Preventing Problems
An important part of owning your computer is maintenance. With proper
care, you can avoid common problems. The following sections provide
information that can help you to keep your computer running smoothly.
General Tips for Preventing Problems
1. Check the capacity of your hard disk drive from time to time. If the
®
hard disk drive gets too full, Windows will slow down and might
produce errors.
Note: You can check the capacity of each hard disk drive as follows.

• If you ever need to run a recovery operation on your computer to return
the contents of the hard disk to the factory-installed state, the following
tips might help along the way:
• Remove all external devices such as the printer, keyboard, and
so on.
• Make sure that the battery is charged and that you have the AC
power adapter connected.
• Boot into the BIOS and load the default settings.
• Turn off the computer and start the recovery process.
• If your computer uses discs as the recovery media, do not
remove the disc from the drive until you are prompted to do so.
If required, you can find your country's Customer Support Center at the
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: Because drivers are programs, like any other file on your computer,
they are susceptible to corruption and might not perform properly if
corruption occurs.

Learn How to Achieve All Day Computing
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 where ever you go. With your computer batteries, you will
be able to work longer without being tied to an electrical outlet.
Checking Battery Status
You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by using
Windows Power options.
To display the battery icon in the taskbar, do as follows:
1. Right-click the taskbar, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Notification Area tab.
3. Under System icons, select the Power check box.
The rate at which you use battery power determines how long you can use
the battery of your computer between charges. Because 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:
• How much energy is stored in the battery when you begin to work.
• 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. The transformer pack that converts AC power for use with the
computer.
2. The power cord that plugs into the AC outlet and into the transformer
pack.
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.
Notes:
• When the AC adapter is not in use, disconnect it from the electrical
outlet.
• Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the AC power
transformer pack when it is connected to the transformer.
• 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:
• When you purchase a new battery
• If the battery status indicator starts blinking
• 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).

When you check the battery status and find that the percentage of power
remaining is low or when the power alarm alerts you that remaining power
is low, you need to charge your 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. The battery
status indicator lets you know that the battery is charging, and also notifies
you when the battery is fully charged.
Note: To increase the life of the battery, the computer does not start
recharging the battery if the remaining power is greater 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.
Danger: If the rechargeable battery pack is incorrectly replaced, there is
danger of an explosion. The battery pack contains a small amount
of harmful substances. To avoid possible injury:
• Replace only with a battery of the type recommended by Lenovo.
• Keep the battery pack away from fire.
• Do not expose it to water or rain.
• Do not attempt to disassemble it.
• Do not short-circuit it.
• Keep it away from children.
Danger: Do not put the battery pack in trash that is disposed of in landfills.
When disposing of the battery, comply with local ordinances or
regulations and your company’s safety standards.
Danger: There is a danger of an explosion if the backup battery is
incorrectly stored. The lithium battery contains lithium and can
explode if it is not properly handled, or disposed of. Replace only
with a battery of the same type. To avoid possible injury or death,
Do not: (1) throw or immerse into water, (2) allow it to heat to
more than 100 degrees C (212 degrees F), or (3) attempt to repair
or disassemble it. Dispose of it as required by local ordinances or
regulations and your company’s safety standards.

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. You
cannot use the computer unless you type 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.
• User password
If a user password is set and Password on boot is 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 BIOS Setup Utility, but
once the Supervisor password is set only a part of the options can be set.
• Supervisor password
With a Supervisor password, you can get full control of the computer. It
also can be used as a power-on password, the same as the User
password. Also, when you enter the BIOS Setup Utility with a
Supervisor password, you are entitled to set all of the options.
• Hard disk (HDD) passwords
Once an HDD password is set, you need to enter it to get access to the
hard disk. You can set the HDD password through either the User Only
selection or the User + Master selection in the BIOS Setup Utility.
Note: If you set passwords through the BIOS Setup Utility and you put
your computer into sleep mode by pressing Fn + F1, the following
describes the behavior of the computer when you bring it out of
sleep mode:
• You are prompted to type the Windows log-on password rather
than the User password to resume operation.
•
If an HDD password is assigned to any hard disk drive, the hard
disk drive is unlocked automatically when you resume operation.
To set a User Password:
1. Turn on your computer. Press F2, while the initial screen is displayed.
The BIOS Setup Utility screen opens.
2. Select Security, using the cursor directional keys.
3. Select Set User Password, and press the Enter key. The Set User
Password window opens.

Hard Disk Passwords
Two types of the hard disk passwords help protect the information stored
on the hard disk:
• Hard disk user password
• Hard disk master password, which requires a hard disk user password
If User only is selected and a hard disk user password has been set, but no
hard disk master password has been set, the user must enter the hard disk
user password in order to gain access to files and applications on the hard
disk.
If User + Master is selected you need to set a master password and a user
password both as the Hard Disk Password. Either of the two passwords can
be used to get access to the Hard disk. Any change or removal to the master
password deletes the user password.
To set a hard disk password:
Print these instructions.
1. Turn on your computer. Press F2, while the initial screen is displayed.
The BIOS Setup Utility screen opens.
2. Select Security, using the cursor directional keys.
3. Select Built-in HDD1 Password Select, and press the Enter key. A

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.
2. On-site Service
Under On-site Service, your Service Provider will either repair or exchange
the product at your location. You must provide a suitable working area to
allow disassembly and reassembly of the Lenovo product. For some
products, certain repairs may require your Service Provider to send the
product to a designated service center.
3. Courier or Depot Service
Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or
exchanged at a designated service center, with shipping arranged by your
Service Provider. You are responsible for disconnecting the product. A
shipping container will be provided to you for you to return your product
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.
4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
Under Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired
or exchanged at a designated service center, with delivery or shipping
arranged by you. You are responsible to deliver or mail, as your Service
Provider specifies, (prepaid unless specified otherwise) the product
suitably packaged to a designated location. After the product has been
repaired or exchanged, it will be made available for your collection. Failure
to collect the product may result in your Service Provider disposing of the
product as it sees fit. For Mail-in Service, the product will be returned to
you at Lenovo’s expense, unless your Service Provider specifies otherwise.

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:
• External CRUs (pluggable): These CRUs unplug from the computer.
Examples of these types of CRUs include the AC adapter and power
cord.
• 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:
• 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.
• 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.

determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances
as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to
various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but
rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking
per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to
them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize any potential
effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the presence of
hazardous substances. For additional WEEE information go to:

should be properly disposed of by an industrial waste disposal contractor
certified by a local government. In accordance with the Law for Promotion

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:
• Move the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin
command.
• Use the Delete command.
• Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.
• 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.
