following:

• Turn it off.

• Put it in sleep mode.

• Put it in hibernation mode.

This will help to prevent damage to the computer, and possible loss of data.

Handle your computer gently.

Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy objects on

your computer, display, or external devices.

Carry your computer carefully.

• Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushioning and protection.

• Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.

• Before putting your computer in a carrying case, make sure that it is off, in sleep

mode, or in hibernation mode. Do not put a computer in a carrying case while it

is turned on.

Conditions that require immediate action

Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product damage is serious enough

that the product should not be used again until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an

authorized servicer.

As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is turned on. On very rare

occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks vent from your product. Or you

might hear sounds like popping, cracking or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an

internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner. Or, they might indicate

a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself.

Contact the Customer Support Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support phone

numbers, see the following Web site:

http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone

Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage or wear or signs of danger. If

you have any question about the condition of a component, do not use the product. Contact the

Customer Support Center or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the

product and have it repaired, if necessary.

In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if you have any safety

concerns with your product, stop using the product and unplug it from the power source and

telecommunication lines until you can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.

• Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or power supplies that are

cracked, broken, or damaged.

• Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.

• Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a battery, or a buildup of foreign

substances on the battery.

• A cracking, hissing or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the product.

• Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer product, the power cord or

power adapter.

• The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to water.

• The product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions.

Note: If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension cord) that is not manufactured for or

by Lenovo, stop using that product until you can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions, or

until you get a suitable replacement.

Safety guidelines

Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.

Service and upgrades

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center or

your documentation. Only use a Service Provider who is approved to repair your particular product.

Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Upgrades typically are

referred to as options. Replacement parts approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer

Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for

customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing or

replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a

product are zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power cord, always make

sure that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. If you have any

questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the

following warnings are required for your safety.

CAUTION:

Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.

CAUTION:

Before you open the computer cover, turn off the computer and wait several minutes until the

computer is cool.

Power cords and power adapters

DANGER

Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.

The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be H05VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm2, or

better. For other countries, the suitable types shall be used accordingly.

Never wrap a power cord around a 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 power cords and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your power 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 power cord or power adapter has been stressed by

misuse. Liquids also can cause gradual corrosion of power cord terminals and/or the connector

terminals on a power adapter, which can eventually result in overheating.

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 or shows signs of

overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input pins 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.

User Guide

To prevent possible overheating, do not cover the power adapter with clothing or other objects

when the power adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet.

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

DANGER

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.

Do not share an electrical outlet with other home or commercial appliances that draw large amounts

of electricity; otherwise, unstable voltage might damage your computer, data, or attached devices.

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.

Be sure that the power outlet provides the correct voltage and current for the product you are

installing.

Notice on deleting data from your solid-state drive

Some of the data stored on the solid-state drive might be sensitive. Handing your computer over to

someone else without deleting the loaded software, such as operating systems and application software,

might even violate license agreements. Be sure to delete data stored on the solid-state drive before you

dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer.

You can use the following methods to delete data from the solid-state drive:

• Move the data to the Recycle Bin, and then empty the Recycle Bin.

• Delete the data.

• Format your solid-state drive, using the software for initializing it.

• Use the recovery program provided by Lenovo to bring the solid-state drive back to the factory default

settings.

These operations, however, only change the file location 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 might read and misuse the critical data on

solid-state drives for unexpected purposes.

To prevent leakage of data, it is important that you delete all the data from the solid-state drive when you

dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the solid-

state drive with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data

unreadable. But it is recommended that you use the software (payware) or service (pay service) developed for

that purpose. The process might take several hours.

For disposing of data on the solid-state drive, Lenovo provides Drive Erase Utility for Resetting the

Cryptographic Key and Erasing the Solid State Drive tool. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support to

download these tools.

If an Encryption solid-state drive is supported and installed in your computer, you can logically dispose of

all the data on the drive in a 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 also available with Drive Erase Utility for Resetting the Cryptographic Key and Erasing the

Solid State Drive tool.

Appendix A. Regulatory Information

Wireless related information

Wireless interoperability

The M.2 wireless LAN 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, 802.11n or 802.11ac on Wireless LANs, as defined and approved by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineers.

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 like for

example 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 situation or environment, 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:

• Using the integrated wireless cards on board of airplanes, in hospitals or near petrol stations, blasting

areas (with electro-explosive devices), medical implants or body-worn electronic medical devices, such

as pace makers.

• 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 to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization (such as

airport or hospital), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use integrated wireless cards prior to turning

on the computer.
