Checking battery status
You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by checking
the battery icon in the notification area.
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
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.
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 86 °F (10 °C-30 °C).
•Full charge or discharge is not required.

Introduction
The Lenovo OneKey Rescue system is an easy-to-use application that can be
used to back up the data on your system partition (C drive) for easy restore
when required. You can run Lenovo OneKey Recovery under the Windows
operating system, and the OneKey Rescue system without starting the
Windows operating system.
Attention:
In order to utilize the features of the OneKey Rescue system, your hard disk
already includes a hidden partition by default to store the system image file
and OneKey Rescue system program files. This default partition is hidden
for security reasons and is the reason the available disk space is less than it
claims. The exact available hard disk space depends on the file size of the
mirror image file (based on the size of operating system and preinstalled
software).
Using Lenovo OneKey Recovery (within Windows operating
system)
In Windows operating system, double click the OneKey Recovery system
Icon on the desktop to launch Lenovo OneKey Recovery.
Within the program, you can back up the system partition on the hard disk
drive, other storage devices, or by creating recovery discs.
For more instructions, see the Help file of Lenovo OneKey Recovery.
Notes:
•The backup process and creation of recovery discs may take some time, connect the AC
adapter and battery pack to your computer.
•After the recovery discs are burned, please number them so that you can use them in the
correct order.
•Computers without an integrated optical drive support the creation of recovery discs;
however an appropriate external optical drive is needed to physically create the recovery
discs.

Using Lenovo OneKey Rescue system (without Windows
operating system)
In the event that the operating system cannot be loaded, follow the steps
below to access OneKey Rescue system.
•Shut down your computer.
• Press the key to launch OneKey Rescue system.
Within the program, you can choose to restore your system partition to the
original factory status, or to a previously generated backup.
Note: The recovery process is irreversible. Make sure to back up any critical data before
using the recovery feature.

You can increase the storage capacity of your computer by replacing the hard
disk drive with one of greater capacity. You can purchase a new hard disk
drive from your reseller or Lenovo marketing representative.
The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause damage and perma-
nent loss of data on the hard disk. Before removing the hard disk drive, make
a backup copy of all the information on the hard disk, and then turn the com-
puter off. Never remove the drive while the system is operating, in sleep
mode, or in hibernation mode.
Notes:
•Replace the hard disk drive only if you upgrade it or have it repaired. The connectors and
bay of the hard disk drive were not designed for frequent changes, or drive swapping.
•The preinstalled softwares are not included on an optional hard disk drive.
Handling a hard disk drive
•Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on a material,
such as soft cloth, that absorbs the physical shock.
•Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
•Do not touch the connector.
