Important safety information NOTE: Please read important safety information first. This information can help you safely use your desktop or notebook personal computer. Follow and retain all information included with your computer. The information in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase agreement or the Lenovo™ Limited Warranty. For more information, refer to “Lenovo Limited Warranty.” Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and effective.
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.
General 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.
Static electricity prevention Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options. Improper handling of static-sensitive parts can cause damage to the part. When you unpack an option or CRU, do not open the static-protective package containing the part until the instructions direct you to install it.
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. Voltage selection switch Some computers are equipped with a voltage selection switch located near the power cord connection point on the computer. If your computer has a voltage selection switch, ensure that you set the switch to match the voltage available at your electrical outlet.
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 attempt to circumvent this safety feature by trying to insert the plug into a non-grounded outlet.
rechargeable batteries (particularly lithium ion batteries), leaving a battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short circuit. This 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, ac adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging.
Operating environment The optimal environment in which to use your computer is 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F) with humidity ranging between 35% and 80%. If your computer is stored or transported in temperatures less than 10°C (50°F), allow the cold computer to rise slowly to an optimal operating temperature of 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F) before use. This process could take two hours in extreme conditions.
