General safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and
property damage.
Service
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the
IBM® Support Center. Use only an IBM authorized 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. IBM 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 IBM Support Center.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product
manufacturer.
Never wrap a power 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 a safety 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 a short 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 a receptacle (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 a qualified electrician.
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the
manufacturer to obtain a replacement.
Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only
into a grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this
safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-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 a way that will stress the cords.
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully
Batteries
All IBM personal computers contain a non-rechargeable coin cell battery to
provide power to the system clock. In addition many mobile products such as
ThinkPad® notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable battery pack to provide
system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by IBM for use with
your product have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced
with IBM 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 a replacement 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 a
battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short
circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety
hazard. Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or
store these batteries in a discharged state.
Heat and product ventilation
Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging.
Notebook PCs can generate a significant amount of heat due to their compact
size. Always follow these basic precautions:
v Do 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, a skin burn.
v Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable
materials or in explosive environments.
v Ventilation 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 a bed, sofa, carpet, or other
flexible surface. Never block, cover or disable these features.
CD and DVD drive safety
CD and DVD drives spin discs at a high speed. If a CD 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:
v Always store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging
v Always store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct
heat sources
v Remove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use
v Do not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or
their packaging
v Check CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or
damaged discs
Wireless related information
Wireless interoperability
Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter is designed to be interoperable with any
wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
(DSSS) and/or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio
technology, and is compliant to:

like other radio devices. However, the level of energy emitted is much less
than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as a cell
phone.
Because Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter operates within the guidelines found
in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, IBM believes
Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter is 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 Wireless LAN Mini-PCI
Adapter Card may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or
responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may include:
v Using the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PC1 Adapter on board of
airplanes, or in hospitals
v 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 (e.g. airport or hospital), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter prior to turning on the
ThinkPad computer.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty - Z125-4753-07 - 11/2002
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2
replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement
of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for
resale. The term ″Machine″ means an IBM machine, its features, conversions,
upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term ″Machine″
does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine,
installed subsequently or otherwise. Nothing in this Statement of Limited
Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or
limited by contract.
What this Warranty Covers
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications
(″Specifications″) which are available on request. The warranty period for the
Machine starts on the original Date of Installation and is specified in Part 3 Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the Date of
Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise. Many features,
conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to
IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service
status of the removed part. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, these warranties
apply only in the country or region in which you purchased the Machine.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND
REPLACE 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 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 MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine,
or installed subsequently;
17
failure resulting from misuse (including but not limited to use of any
Machine capacity or capability, other than that authorized by IBM in
writing), accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating
environment, or improper maintenance by you;
v failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible; and
v any non-IBM products, including those that IBM may procure and provide
with or integrate into an IBM Machine at your request.
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the
Machine or its parts.
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such
as assistance via telephone with ″how-to″ questions and those regarding
Machine set-up and installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF
ANY KIND.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period,
contact IBM or your reseller to obtain warranty service. If you do not register
the Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase as
evidence of your entitlement to warranty service.
What IBM Will Do to Correct Problems
When you call for service, you must follow the problem determination and
resolution procedures that IBM specifies. A technician will attempt to make an
initial diagnosis of your problem and help you resolve it over the telephone.
The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3
- Warranty Information.
You are responsible for downloading and installing designated Machine Code
(microcode, basic input/output system code (called ″BIOS″), utility programs,
device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM Machine ) and other
software updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic
media, and following the instructions that IBM provides.
If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″)
(e.g., keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive and other easily
replaceable parts), IBM will ship these parts to you for replacement by you.
18
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period
and your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone, through your
application of Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, IBM or
your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will either, at
its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or 2) replace it
with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If IBM is unable to do either,
you may return the Machine to your place of purchase and your money will
be refunded.
IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes
that apply to the Machine.
Exchange of a Machine or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the
item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement
becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are 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 service status of the replaced item.
Your Additional Responsibilities
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove
all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty
service.
You also agree to:
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service
a Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the service request procedures that IBM or your reseller
provides;
b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the
Machine;
c. IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your
facilities to permit IBM to fulfill its obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in the Machine’s location.
4. (a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals
(Personal Data) is deleted from the Machine (to the extent technically
possible), (b) allow IBM, your reseller or an IBM supplier to process on
your behalf any remaining Personal Data as IBM or your reseller considers
19
necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Statement of Limited
Warranty (which may include shipping the Machine for such processing to
other IBM service locations around the world), and (c) ensure that such
processing complies with any laws applicable to such Personal Data.
Limitation of Liability
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is 1)
in IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for
the transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller are responsible for any of your confidential,
proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return
to IBM for any reason. You should remove all such information from the
Machine prior to its return.
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other
contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or
limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property
and tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if
recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the
