Failure to do so might lead to discomfort or injury, or cause your tablet to fail. Important safety and handling information To avoid personal injury, property damage, or accidental damage to your ThinkPad® Tablet 2 (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 Tablet 2 User Guide (this publication). You can access the ThinkPad Tablet 2 User Guide by using one of the following methods: • Go to http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadUserGuides and follow the instructions on the screen. • Start your tablet. Tap Lenovo Support Center on the Start screen. Then tap User Guide. • Open Windows® Help and Support. Then tap User Guide. For additional tips to help you operate your 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 charger 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: © Copyright Lenovo 2012 iii Charging method Tablet on (Display is on) Tablet off or in screen lock mode (Display is off) ThinkPad Tablet Dock (fastest charging method) Approved Approved ThinkPad Tablet AC Charger Approved, but the battery will charge slowly Approved ThinkPad Tablet DC Charger Approved, but the battery will charge slowly Approved A USB connection between the micro USB connector on the tablet and a USB connector of a personal computer or other device that complies with the USB 2.0 standards (slowest charging method) Might not charge due to USB 2.0 power limits. Approved If the power consumption of the tablet exceeds USB 2.0 power limits, the battery will discharge to compensate for the additional power required by the tablet. 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. iv User Guide 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 57 for additional information. 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 computer 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.

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 computer. The UEFI BIOS translates the instructions from other software layers. Your computer 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 computer 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: http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers Using system management This section is intended primarily for network administrators. Your computer 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 computers in the same way as you operate your own computer, such as turning on a client computer, formatting hard disk drive, and installing software. Once the computer 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 computer 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. Chapter 9. Advanced configuration 41 Preboot eXecution Environment Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology makes your computer 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 computer supports the personal computer functions that PXE requires. For example, with the appropriate LAN card, your computer can be booted from the PXE server. Note: Remote Program Load (RPL) cannot be used with your computer. 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 computer from a management console. The following requirements must be met: • Your computer must be started over the LAN. • Your computer must be engaged in a Preboot eXecution Environment. • Network-management software must be installed on the remote administrator's computer. 42 User Guide Chapter 10.
