 Handle your IdeaTab with care

Do not drop, bend, puncture, insert foreign objects, or place heavy objects on your IdeaTab.
Sensitive components inside might become damaged.
Your IdeaTab screen is made of glass. The glass might break if the IdeaTab 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 IdeaTab. Stop
using the IdeaTab immediately and contact Lenovo® technical support for repair,
replacement, or disposal information.
When using your IdeaTab, keep it away from hot or high-voltage environments, such as
electric appliances or electric heating cooking equipment. Only use your IdeaTab in the
temperature range of -10°C to 40°C and Storage -30°C to 60°C to avoid damage.

 Do not disassemble or modify your IdeaTab

Your IdeaTab 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 IdeaTab will void the warranty.

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 IdeaTab:

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 IdeaTab 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 IdeaTab complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7.
This specification limits the IdeaTab'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 IdeaTab came with headphones or earphones in the package, as a set, the
combination of the headphones or earphones and the IdeaTab 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.

 Take care when using your IdeaTab 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 IdeaTab,
while you drive a motor vehicle or ride a bicycle.

 Dispose according to local laws and regulations

When your IdeaTab reaches the end of its useful life, do not crush, incinerate, immerse in
water, or dispose of your IdeaTab 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 “Recycling and environmental information” for additional information.

 Keep your IdeaTab and accessories away from small children

Your IdeaTab 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 IdeaTab software might fail to work.
Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your IdeaTab vulnerable to computer
viruses, hackers, spyware, and other malicious activities that might damage your IdeaTab,
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 IdeaTab because the strong magnetic
fields generated by these appliances can damage the screen and the data on the IdeaTab.

 Be aware of heat generated by your IdeaTab

When your IdeaTab 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 IdeaTab for any extended time.

 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) cable and cord notice

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with
this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
