Read this first  
Be sure to follow the important tips given here to get the most use and enjoyment out of the tablet. Failure to  
do so might lead to discomfort or injury, or cause the tablet to fail.  
Important safety and handling information  
To avoid personal injury, property damage, or accidental damage to your ThinkPad® Helix (hereafter  
referred to as the tablet), read all of the information in this section before using it.  
For detailed operating instructions, refer to the ThinkPad Helix User Guide (this publication). You can  
access the ThinkPad Helix User Guide by using one of the following methods:  
• Go to http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadUserGuides and follow the instructions on the screen.  
• Start the tablet. Tap Lenovo Support on the Start screen. Then tap User Guide.  
• Open Windows® Help and Support. Then tap Lenovo User Guide.  
For additional tips to help you operate the tablet safely, go to:  
http://www.lenovo.com/safety  
Handle your tablet with care:  
Do not drop, bend, puncture, insert foreign objects, or place heavy objects on your tablet. Sensitive  
components inside might become damaged.  
Your tablet screen is made of glass. The glass might break if the tablet is dropped on a hard surface, is  
the subject of a high impact, or is crushed by a heavy object. If the glass chips or cracks, do not touch  
the broken glass or attempt to remove it from the tablet. Stop using the tablet immediately and contact  
Lenovo® technical support for repair, replacement, or disposal information.  
Do not disassemble or modify your tablet:  
Your tablet is a sealed unit. There are no end-user serviceable parts inside. All internal repairs must be done  
by a Lenovo-authorized repair facility or a Lenovo-authorized technician. Attempting to open or modify your  
tablet will void the warranty.  
Do not attempt to replace the internal battery:  
Replacement of the internal rechargeable battery must be done by a Lenovo-authorized repair facility or a  
Lenovo-authorized technician. Lenovo-authorized repair facilities or technicians recycle Lenovo batteries  
according to local laws and regulations.  
Prevent your tablet and adapter from getting wet:  
Do not immerse your tablet in water or leave it in a location where it can get saturated with water or other  
liquids.  
Use approved charging methods only:  
You can use any of the following charging methods to safely recharge the internal battery of your tablet and  
the Enhanced Keyboard Dock for ThinkPad Helix (hereafter referred to as the keyboard dock):  
• Plug the ac power adapter into an ac power outlet, and then insert the jack into the tablet to charge the  
internal battery of the tablet.  
• Plug the ac power adapter into an ac power outlet, and then insert the jack into the keyboard dock to  
charge the internal battery of the keyboard dock.

• Insert the tablet into the keyboard dock to establish the connection. Then, plug the ac power adapter  
into an ac power outlet, and then insert the jack into the keyboard dock to charge the tablet and the  
keyboard dock at the same time.  
• Insert the tablet into the keyboard dock to establish the connection. If the internal battery of the tablet  
is not full and the internal battery of the keyboard dock does not run out of power, the keyboard dock  
will charge the tablet.  
Note: Ensure that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.  
Charging devices might become warm during normal use. Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around  
the charging device. Unplug the charging device if any of the following occurs:  
• The charging device has been exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.  
• The charging device shows signs of physical damage.  
• You want to clean the charging device.  
Lenovo is not responsible for the performance or safety of products not manufactured or approved by  
Lenovo.  
Prevent hearing damage:  
Your tablet has a headphone 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 tablet complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specification  
limits the tablet'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) for 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 tablet came with headphones or earphones in the package, as a set, the combination of the  
headphones or earphones and the tablet 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.  
Take care when using your tablet in a motor vehicle or on a bicycle:  
Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Follow the law. Local laws and regulations might  
govern how you can use mobile electronic devices, such as your tablet, while you drive a motor vehicle  
or ride a bicycle.  
Dispose according to local laws and regulations:  
When your tablet reaches the end of its useful life, do not crush, incinerate, immerse in water, or dispose of  
your tablet in any manner contrary to local laws and regulations. Some internal parts contain substances  
that can explode, leak, or have an adverse environmental affect if disposed of incorrectly.  
See Appendix B “Environmental, recycling, and disposal information” on page 67 for additional information.  
iv User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Keep your tablet and accessories away from small children:  
Your tablet contains small parts that can be a choking hazard to small children. Additionally, the glass screen  
can break or crack if dropped on or thrown against a hard surface.  
Protect your data and software:  
Do not delete unknown files or change the name of files or directories that were not created by you;  
otherwise, your tablet software might fail to work.  
Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your tablet vulnerable to viruses, hackers, spyware,  
and other malicious activities that might damage your tablet, software, or data. It is your responsibility to  
ensure that you have adequate protection in the form of firewalls, antivirus software, and anti-spyware  
software and keep this software up to date.  
Keep electrical appliances such as an electric fan, radio, high-powered speakers, air conditioner, and  
microwave oven away from your tablet because the strong magnetic fields generated by these appliances  
can damage the screen and the data on the tablet.  
Be aware of heat generated by your tablet:  
When your tablet is turned on or the battery is charging, some parts might become hot. The temperature  
that they reach depends on the amount of system activity and the level of charge in the battery. Extended  
contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause discomfort or even a skin burn. Avoid keeping  
your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in contact with a hot section of the tablet for any  
extended time.  
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.

(328 feet) depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings. You can connect any ThinkPad Helix to  
a Wi-Fi network.  
A Wi-Fi connection requires access to a functioning Wireless Access Point (WAP), also called a hotspot.  
Some hotspots are open to the public, but some others implement security features to limit access to  
specific groups or individuals.  
Note: The range and quality of the Wi-Fi signal are affected by the number of connected devices, the  
infrastructure, and the objects through which the signal is transmitted.

Hard disk passwords  
Two types of hard disk passwords help protect the information stored on the mSATA solid-state drive:  
• User hard disk password  
• Master hard disk password, which requires a user hard disk password  
30 User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
If a user hard disk password has been set, but no master hard disk password has been, the user must enter  
the user hard disk password in order to gain access to files and programs on the mSATA solid-state drive.  
The master password can be set and used only by a system administrator. Like a master key, it enables the  
administrator to get access to any hard disk drive in a system. The administrator sets the master password;  
no one else knows it. Then the administrator sets a user password for each computer in the network, and  
tells each user the password for his or her computer. The user can then change the user password as  
desired, but the administrator still can get access by using the master password.  
Note: When a master hard disk password is set, only the administrator can remove the user hard disk  
password.  
Setting a hard disk password  
1. Print these instructions.  
2. Save all open files, and exit all programs.

Notice on deleting data from your mSATA solid-state drive  
As computers spread into every corner of life, they process more and more information. The data on your  
tablet, some of which is sensitive, is stored on the mSATA solid-state drive. Before you dispose of, sell, or  
hand over your tablet, be sure to delete data stored on it.  
Handing your tablet over to someone else without deleting the loaded software, such as operating systems  
and application software, might even violate license agreements. You are advised to check the terms and  
conditions of those license agreements.  
There are methods that seem to delete the data:  
• Move the data to the recycle bin, and then empty the recycle bin.  
• Use the Delete option.  
• Format your mSATA solid-state drive, using the software for initializing it.  
• Set the mSATA solid-state drive back to the factory default settings using the recovery program provided  
by Lenovo.  
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 this data can be retrieved and used for unexpected purposes.  
To prevent leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take responsibility for deleting all the data  
from the mSATA solid-state drive when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your tablet. You can destroy the  
data physically by smashing the mSATA solid-state drive 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.  
For disposing of data on the mSATA solid-state drive, Lenovo provides the Secure Data Disposal tool. To  
download the tool, go to: http://www.lenovo.com/support .  
Note: Running either application will take a couple of hours.  
If a mSATA solid-state drive equipped with encryption features is supported and installed in your tablet, you  
can logically dispose of all the data on the drive in a very short time by erasing the cryptographic key. The  
data encrypted with the old key is not physically erased but remains on the drive; however, it cannot be  
decrypted without the old key. This feature is enabled by ThinkPad Setup Menu Extension Utility and is  
available as a menu item in ThinkPad Setup.

Updating your system UEFI BIOS  
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS is a part of the system programs that make up  
the basic layer of software built into your tablet. The UEFI BIOS translates the instructions from other  
software layers.  
Your tablet system board has a module called EEPROM, also referred to as flash memory. You can update  
the UEFI BIOS and the ThinkPad Setup program by starting your tablet with a flash update optical disc or  
flash update application running in the Windows environment.  
In some instances when you add software, hardware, or a device driver, you might be informed that you  
need to update your UEFI BIOS in order for the new addition to work properly.  
To update your UEFI BIOS, go to the following Web site and follow the instructions on the screen:

Your tablet is designed for manageability, so that you can redirect more of your resources to better meet  
your business objectives.  
This manageability, or “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO), enables you to remotely operate client tablets in  
the same way as you operate your own tablet, such as turning on a client tablet, formatting hard disk  
drive, and installing software.  
Once the tablet is configured and operational, you can manage it by use of software and manageability  
features already integrated into the client system and the network.  
System management  
Read this topic to learn more about features of system management.  
Desktop Management Interface  
The system UEFI BIOS of your tablet supports an interface called System Management BIOS Reference  
Specification (SMBIOS) V2.6.1 SMBIOS provides information about the hardware components of your  
system. It is the responsibility of the BIOS to supply this database with information about itself and the  
devices on the system board. This specification documents the standards for getting access to this BIOS  
information.  
Preboot eXecution Environment  
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology makes your tablet more manageable (it is PXE  
2.1-compliant) by enabling it to boot (load an operating system or another executable image) from a server.  
Your tablet supports the personal tablet functions that PXE requires. For example, with the appropriate LAN  
card, your tablet can be booted from the PXE server.  
Note: Remote Program Load (RPL) cannot be used with your tablet.  
Asset ID EEPROM  
The Asset ID EEPROM contains information about the system, including its configuration and the serial  
numbers of key components. It also includes a number of blank fields in which you can record information  
about the end users in your network.  
Setting management feature  
Your network administrator can remotely update the system programs on your tablet from a management  
console. The following requirements must be met:  
• Your tablet must be started over the LAN.  
• Your tablet must be engaged in a Preboot eXecution Environment.  
• Network-management software must be installed on the remote administrator's computer.

your work surface, seat, and other work tools to accommodate your preferences for comfort. If your work  
area is not in an office setting, be sure to take special note of employing active sitting and utilizing work  
breaks. Note that there are many ThinkPad product solutions available to help you modify and expand your  
tablet to best suit your needs. Access the Web site http://www.lenovo.com/accessories/services/index.html  
to view some of these options. Explore your options for docking solutions and external products that can

Wireless related information  
Wireless interoperability  
Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card is designed to be interoperable with any wireless LAN product that  
is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Complementary Code Keying (CCK), and/or  
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology, and is compliant to:  
• The 802.11b/g Standard, 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n draft 2.0 on Wireless LANs, as defined and approved by  
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.  
• The Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) certification as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.  
The Bluetooth card in your tablet is designed to be interoperable with any Bluetooth product that is compliant  
to Bluetooth Specification 4.0 as defined by the Bluetooth SIG. The following profiles are supported  
by your Bluetooth card:  
• A2DP  
• AVRCP  
• HFP  
• HID  
• DUN  
• PAN  
• HCRP  
• SPP  
• OPP  
• GATT  
• Proximity  
• Find Me  
• Immediate Alert  
• Battery Status  
Usage environment and your health  
Integrated wireless cards 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  
such as mobile phones.  
Due to the fact that integrated wireless cards operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety  
standards and recommendations, Lenovo believes they 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 situations or environments, the use of integrated wireless cards might be restricted by the proprietor  
of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations and areas might for  
example include:  
© Copyright Lenovo 2012

• Using the integrated wireless cards onboard of airplanes, in hospitals or near petrol stations, blasting  
areas (with electro-explosive devices), medical implants or body-worn electronic medical devices.  
• In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or  
identified as harmful.  
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific organization, you  
are encouraged to ask for authorization to use integrated wireless cards prior to turning on the tablet.

of Energy aimed at saving money and protecting the environment through energy efficient products and  
practices.  
Lenovo is proud to offer our customers products with the ENERGY STAR qualified designation. Lenovo  
computers of the following machine types, if the ENERGY STAR mark is affixed, have been designed and  
tested to conform to the ENERGY STAR program requirements for computers.  
3697, 3698, 3700, 3701, and 3702  
By using ENERGY STAR qualified products and taking advantage of the power-management features  
of your computer, you can help reduce the consumption of electricity. Reduced electrical consumption  
can contribute to potential financial savings, a cleaner environment, and the reduction of greenhouse gas  
emissions.

Lenovo encourages you to make efficient use of energy an integral part of your day-to-day operations. To  
help in this endeavor, Lenovo has preset the following power-management features to take effect when your  
computer has been inactive for a specified length of time:  
Power plan: Energy Saver (settings when plugged into ac power)  
• Turn off the display: After 10 minutes  
• Put the tablet into sleep: After 20 minutes  
• Advanced power settings:  
– Turn off hard disks: After 15 minutes  
– Hibernate: Never  
To awaken your tablet from sleep mode, press the power button. For more information about these settings,  
see the Windows Help and Support information on your tablet.  
The Wake on LAN function is enabled when your tablet is shipped from the factory, and the setting remains  
valid even when the tablet is in sleep mode. If you do not need to have Wake on LAN enabled while your  
tablet is in sleep mode, you can reduce the power consumption and prolong the time in sleep mode, by  
disabling the setting of Wake on LAN for sleep mode. To disable the setting of Wake on LAN for sleep  
mode, do the following:  
1. From the desktop, swipe in from the right edge of the screen to display the charms.  
2. Tap Settings ➙ Control Panel ➙ Hardware and Sound ➙ Device Manager.  
3. In the Device Manager window, expand Network adapters.  
4. Press and hold your network adapter device, and tap Properties.
