Chapter 1. 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

Chapter 3, “Lenovo Limited Warranty,” on page 29.

Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and

effective. However, personal computers are electronic devices. Power cords,

power adapters, and other features can create potential safety risks that can

result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce

these risks, follow the instructions included with your product, observe all

warnings on the product and in the operating instructions, and review the

information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the

information contained in this document and provided with your product, you

can help protect yourself from hazards and create a safer computer work

environment.

Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In

addition to notebook computers, some products (such as speakers and

monitors) ship with external power adapters. If you have such a product, this

information applies to your product. In addition, computer products contain a

coin-sized internal battery that provides power to the system clock even when

the computer is unplugged, so the battery safety information applies to all

computer products.

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 Chapter 4, “Worldwide telephone list,” on page 39.

Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage, 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.

v Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or

power supplies that are cracked, broken, or damaged.

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

v Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a

battery, or a buildup of foreign substances on the battery.

v A cracking, hissing, or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the

product.

v Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer

product, the power cord, or power adapter.

v The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to

water.

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

v 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.

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.

12 Safety and Warranty Guide

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 an ac power

cord, always make sure that the power is turned off and that the product is

unplugged from any power source. For more information on CRUs, refer to the

User Guide for this product. 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.

Danger

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

Attention

Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to

five minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.

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.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 13

When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer,

take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up

around you.

v Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules,

and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.

v Prevent others from touching components.

v When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-protective

package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other

unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This

reduces static electricity in the package and your body.

v When possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-protective

packaging and install the part without setting it down. When this is not

possible, place the static-protective packaging on a smooth, level surface and

place the part on it.

v Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Power cords and power adapters

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 mm

2

, 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 cord 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.

Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure

that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into

receptacles.

14 Safety and Warranty Guide

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 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.

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. Setting the voltage-selection switch

incorrectly can cause permanent damage to the computer.

If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, your computer is

designed to operate only at the voltage provided in the country or region

where the computer was originally purchased.

If you relocate your computer to another country, be aware of the following:

v If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, do not connect

the computer to an electrical outlet until you have verified that the voltage

provided is the same as it was in the country or region where the computer

was originally purchased.

v If your computer has a voltage selection switch, do not connect the

computer to an electrical outlet until you have verified that the

voltage-selection switch is set to match the voltage provided in that country

or region.

If

you are not sure of the voltage provided at your electrical outlet, contact

your local electric company or refer to official Web sites or other literature for

travelers to the country or region where you are located.

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

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.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 15

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.

Carefully connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet.

External devices

Do not connect or disconnect any external device cables other than USB and

1394 cables while the computer power is on; otherwise, you might damage

your computer. To avoid possible damage to attached devices, wait at least five

seconds after the computer is shut down to disconnect external devices.

Batteries

All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a non-rechargeable

coin cell battery to provide power to the system clock. In addition, many

mobile products, such as notebook computers, utilize a rechargeable battery

pack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by

Lenovo for use with your product have been tested for compatibility and

should only be replaced with approved parts.

Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or

incinerate batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the

battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly

according to instructions included in the product documentation.
