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. 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.
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.
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

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.
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. 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.

Safety and warranty guide
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.
When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer, take the following precautions to
avoid static-electricity damage:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, and other circuit boards by the
edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.
• Prevent others from touching components.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Safety and warranty guide
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.
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:
• 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.
• 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.

Safety and warranty guide
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.
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.
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to “vent”
from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or
the buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a replacement from the
battery manufacturer.
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some rechargeable batteries
(particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a
battery short circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do not let

Safety and warranty guide
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. Always follow these basic precautions:
• Do not leave your computer, AC adapter, or accessories in contact with your lap or any part of your body
for an extended period when the products are functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer,
AC adapter, and many accessories produce some heat during normal operation. Extended contact with the
body could cause discomfort or, potentially, a skin burn.
• Do not charge the battery or operate your computer, AC adapter, or accessories near flammable materials
or in explosive environments.
• Ventilation slots, fans, and heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliable
operation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover, or disable these features.
Inspect your desktop computer for dust accumulation at least once every three months. Before inspecting your
computer, turn off the power and unplug the computer’s power cord from the electrical outlet; then remove
any dust from vents and perforations in the bezel. If you notice external dust accumulation, then examine and
remove dust from the inside of the computer including heat sink inlet fins, power supply vents, and fans. Always
turn off and unplug the computer before opening the cover. If possible, avoid operating your computer within
2 feet of high-traffic areas. If you must operate your computer in or near a high-traffic area, inspect and, if
necessary, clean your computer more frequently.
For your safety and to maintain optimum computer performance, always follow these basic precautions with
your desktop computer:
• Keep the cover closed whenever the computer is plugged in.
• Regularly inspect the outside of the computer for dust accumulation.
• Remove dust from vents and any perforations in the bezel. More frequent cleanings might be required for
computers in dusty or high-traffic areas.
• Do not restrict or block any ventilation openings.
• Do not store or operate your computer inside furniture, as this might increase the risk of overheating.
• Airflow temperatures into the computer should not exceed 35° C (95° F).
• Do not use non-desktop air filtration devices.
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. Failure to allow your computer to rise to an optimal
operating temperature before use could result in irreparable damage to your computer.
If possible, place your computer in a well-ventilated and dry area without direct exposure to sunshine.
