General safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.
Service
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center.
Use only a service provider who is approved to repair your particular product.
Note: Some partscanbeupgradedorreplacedbythecustomer.ThesepartsarereferredtoasCustomer
Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo expressly identifies CRUs as such, and provides documentation with
instructions when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts. You must closely follow all
instructions when performing such replacements. Always make sure that the power is turned off and that
the product is unplugged from any power source before you attempt the replacement. If you have any
questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.
Never wrap a power cord around the 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 the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your 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 cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause
gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the 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 and/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.
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.
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to obtain a
replacement.
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.
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully
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 PCs 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 Lenovo 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 rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in a discharged
state.
Heat and product ventilation
Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Notebook PCs can generate a
significant amount of heat due to their compact size. Always follow these basic precautions:
v Do notleavethebaseofyourcomputerincontactwithyourlaporanypartofyourbodyforan
extended period when the computer is functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer
produces some heat during normal operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort
or, potentially, a skin burn.
v Do notoperateyourcomputerorchargethebatterynearflammablematerialsorinexplosive
environments.
v Ventilation slots,fansand/orheatsinksareprovidedwiththeproductforsafety,comfort,andreliable

carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover or disable these features.

This software enables you to write directly to CD-RW, CD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, and DVD-R media
using the drive letter like you would if you were writing to a diskette. All disc format types can be
formatted by Direct-to-disc. With Direct-to-disc, you can drag-and-drop files, create new directories, or
save files from any application directly to your USB 2.0 Super Multi-Burner. Direct-to-Disc is installed
automatically as part of the Multimedia Center for Think Offerings.
v UDF reader
This software enables you to use DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, and CD-RW media on computers with DVD
drives. It also allows you to read Direct-to-disc-created discs on systems without Direct-to-disc
installed.
v Multimedia Center for Think Offerings
Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is a disc mastering software that allows you to create your own
music or data discs from files on your computer, or from other disc media such as CDs or DVDs.
Music discs created with Multimedia Center for Think Offerings, will play on any CD player, whether
it’s at home, in your car, or through your computer’s CD-ROM. Multimedia Center for Think Offerings
also makes it easy to create data discs that can be read on any appropriate CD or DVD disc reader.
Note: Some DVDplayerscannotreadCD-Rmedia.Refertothedocumentationthataccompanied
your drive for information on supported media.
Multimedia Center for Think Offerings guides you, step-by-step, through the recording process with
simple Wizards and an intuitive user-interface.
Using Multimedia Center for Think Offerings you can create:
– Exact copies of existing discs - The Exact Copy feature makes a duplicate of your master disc,
transferring the disc layout of the original disc to your CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD media.
– Discs of archived data from your hard drive – The Make a Data Disc feature is used to store
electronic data, such as the files and applications that reside on your computer’s hard drive. Unlike
music discs, data discs are used to store files that are readable only by a computer, and cannot be
played on your home or car stereo—even if audio files are on the disc.
– Music compilations from WAV, MP3, or WMA files, or from existing music discs – The Make a
Music Disc feature creates custom music discs from files on your hard drive or your existing music
discs. The CD music database feature can automatically tag your files with track information to help
you sort through your collection.
