S10-3 UserGuide V1.0_en.book Page 1 Tuesday, November 10, 2009 11:04 AM Dear user, Thank you for purchasing your new Lenovo notebook computer! Before using this product, make sure to read this user guide carefully. We are pleased that you have chosen Lenovo for your mobile computing needs. To help you master the usage of your new computer quickly, we have prepared this user guide. In this manual you will find information on the system configuration, basic operating instructions, and important notices. We have done our best to avoid any errors in making sure that the information provided in this manual is accurate and reliable. However, due to the short length of the user guide it is impossible to cover all topics in great depth. For this reason, we apologize for any omissions you might find. Lenovo is always trying to improve the performance and reliability of its products. For that reason, the hardware and software components shown within the user guide might not perfectly match those of your system. However, any inconsistencies between what is described in the user guide and the operations of your computer should not substantially affect your use. Thank you for your cooperation. S10-3 UserGuide V1.0_en.book Page 2 Tuesday, November 10, 2009 11:04 AM Explanation of hard disk capacity Dear user, While using your computer, you may find 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 S10-3 UserGuide V1.0_en.book Page 3 Tuesday, November 10, 2009 11:04 AM In addition, 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 may 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 apparent, 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.

Learning the basics Using AC adapter and battery ---------------------------------------------- Checking battery status You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by checking the battery icon in the notification area. Note: 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: • The amount of energy stored in the battery when you commence 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. Charging the battery When you find that the battery power is low, you need to charge the battery or replace it with a fully charged one. You need to charge the battery in any of the following situations: • When you purchase a new battery • If the battery status indicator starts blinking • If the battery has not been used for a long time 10 S10-3 UserGuide V1.0_en.book Page 11 Tuesday, November 10, 2009 11:04 AM Chapter 2. Learning the basics Notes: • You are advised to insert the battery pack when using your computer to prevent small particles from entering the inside of your computer. • To increase the life of the battery pack, the computer does not start recharging the battery immediately after it drops from fully charged. • Charge the battery at a temperature between 50 °F and 80 °F (10 °C-30 °C). • Full charge or discharge is not required. Removing the battery pack If you are not going to use the computer for an extended period of time, or if you need to send your computer to Lenovo for service, etc., remove the battery pack from the computer.

You can run Lenovo OneKey Recovery under the Windows operating system, and the OneKey Rescue system without starting the Windows operating system.
