Windows label

Your computer might have a Windows 10 Genuine Microsoft label affixed to its cover depending on the
following factors:

• Your geographic location

• Edition of Windows 10 that is preinstalled

Go to

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/Hardware.aspx for illustrations of the various types of

Genuine Microsoft labels.

• In the People’s Republic of China, the Genuine Microsoft label is required on all computer models
preinstalled with any version of Windows 10.

• In other countries and regions, the Genuine Microsoft label is required only on computer models licensed
for Windows 10 Pro.

The absence of a Genuine Microsoft label does not indicate that the preinstalled Windows version is not
genuine. For details on how to tell whether your preinstalled Windows product is genuine, refer to the
information provided by Microsoft at

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/default.aspx.

There are no external, visual indicators of the Product ID or Windows version for which the computer is
licensed. Instead, the Product ID is recorded in the computer firmware. Whenever a Windows 10 product is
installed, the installation program checks the computer firmware for a valid, matching Product ID to complete
the activation.

In some cases, an earlier Windows version might be preinstalled under the terms of the Windows 10 Pro
license downgrade rights.

with the operation of your computer.

Protect your computer and data when moving it.

Before moving a computer equipped with a storage drive, do one of
the following:

• Turn it off.

• Put it in sleep mode.

• Put it in hibernation mode.

This helps to prevent damage to the computer, and possible loss of
data.

28 Lenovo E41–50 and E41–55 User Guide

Handle your computer gently.

Carry your computer carefully.

Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy
objects on your computer, display, or external devices.

• Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushioning and

protection.

• Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.

• Before putting your computer in a carrying case, make sure that it

is off, in sleep mode, or in hibernation mode. Do not put a
computer in a carrying case while it is turned on.

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. You might also hear sounds like popping, cracking, or hissing. These might merely mean that
an internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner. Or, they might indicate a
potential safety issue. 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
the following Web site:

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/supportphonelist

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.

Appendix A. Important safety information 29

• Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or power supplies that are
cracked, broken, or damaged.

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

• Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a battery, or a buildup of foreign
substances on the battery.

• A cracking, hissing, or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the product.

• Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer product, the power cord, or
power adapter.

• The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to water.

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

• 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.

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 a power cord, always ensure
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.

Keep fingers and other parts of your body away from hazardous, moving parts. If you suffer an injury, seek
medical care immediately.

Do not touch hot surface of hot components inside the computer. During operation, some components
become hot enough to burn the skin. Before you open the computer cover, turn off the computer, disconnect
power, and wait approximately 10 minutes for the components to cool.

After replacing a CRU, reinstall all protective covers, including the computer cover, before connecting power
and operating the computer. This action is important to help prevent unexpected electrical shock and help
ensure the containment of an unexpected fire that could happen under extremely rare conditions.

30

Lenovo E41–50 and E41–55 User Guide

When replacing CRUs, be cautious of sharp edges or corners that might cause injury. If you suffer an injury,

Glass parts notice

CAUTION:
Some parts of your product may be made of glass. This glass could break if the product is dropped on
a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove it.
Stop using your product until the glass is replaced by trained service personnel.

Static electricity prevention

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options.
Improper handling of static-sensitive parts can damage 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 packaging 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.

Lenovo E41–50 and E41–55 User Guide

Basic maintenance tips

Here are some basic points about keeping your computer functioning properly:

• If possible, place your computer in a well-ventilated and dry area without direct exposure to sunshine.

• Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the risk of suffocation from plastic
bags.

• Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones, electrical appliances, or speakers
(more than 13 cm or 5 inches).

• Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/41°F or above 35°C/95°F).

• Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or the palm rest.

• Computer display might be designed to be opened and used at a certain angle. Do not open the display
with force. Otherwise, the computer hinge might get damaged.

• Do not turn your computer over when the ac power adapter is plugged in, otherwise, it could break the
adapter plug.

• Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and disconnect
cords and cables.

• When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your computer by the
display.

• Only an authorized Lenovo repair technician should disassemble and repair your computer.

• Do not modify or tape the latches to keep the display open or closed.

• Avoid directly exposing your computer and peripherals to the air from an appliance that can produce
negative ions. Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge.

Clean your computer

It is a good practice to clean your computer periodically to protect the surfaces and ensure trouble-free
operation.

Clean the computer cover: Wipe it with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Avoid applying
liquids directly to the cover.

Clean the keyboard: Wipe the keys one by one with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. If
you wipe several keys at a time, the cloth might hook onto an adjacent key and possibly damage it. Avoid
spraying cleaner directly onto the keyboard. To remove any crumbs or dust from beneath the keys, you can
use a camera blower with a brush or use cool air from a hair dryer.

Clean the computer screen: Scratches, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the performance
of your computer screen. Use a dry, soft lint-free cloth to wipe the screen gently. If you see a scratchlike
mark on your screen, it might be a stain. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the stain
remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or eyeglass cleaner, but do not apply liquids directly to your
computer screen. Ensure that the computer screen is dry before closing it.

Ergonomic information

Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort.
Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that
you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort when using
your computer.

Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent changes in your environment. Adapting to the
surrounding light sources, active seating, and the placement of your computer hardware, can help you
improve your performance and achieve greater comfort.

This example shows someone in a conventional setting. Even when not in such a setting, you can follow
many of these tips. Develop good habits, and they will serve you well.

General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused
by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent short breaks from your work also help to prevent
minor discomfort associated with your working posture.

Appendix B. Accessibility and ergonomic information 43

Display: Position the display to maintain a comfortable viewing distance of 510 mm to 760 mm (20 inches to
30 inches). Avoid glare or reflections on the display from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep
the display screen clean and set the brightness to levels that enable you to see the screen clearly. Press the
brightness control keys to adjust display brightness.

Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position.

Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height adjustment. Use chair adjustments to

best suit your comfort posture.

Arm and hand position: If available, use chair arm rests or an area on your working surface to provide
weight support for your arms. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal)
position. Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.

Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.

What if you are traveling?

It might not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are using your computer while on
the move or in a casual setting. Regardless of the setting, try to observe as many of the tips as possible.
Sitting properly and using adequate lighting, for example, helps you maintain desirable levels of comfort and
performance. If your work area is not in an office setting, ensure to take special note of employing active
sitting and taking work breaks. Many product solutions are available to help you modify and expand your
computer to best suit your needs. You can find some of these options at

Lenovo is proud to offer products with the ENERGY STAR certified designation. Lenovo computers, if carry
an ENERGY STAR mark, have been designed and tested to conform to the ENERGY STAR program
requirements for computers as prescribed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. For a certified
computer, an ENERGY STAR mark may be affixed to the product, the product packaging, or displayed
electronically on the E-label screen or the power settings interface.

By using ENERGY STAR compliant products and taking advantage of the power management features of
your computer, you reduce the consumption of electricity. Reduced electrical consumption contributes to
potential financial savings, a cleaner environment, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. For more
information about ENERGY STAR, go to

Lenovo encourages you to make efficient use of energy an integral part of your day-to-day operations. To
help in this endeavor, Lenovo has preset a default power plan. To change the power plan, see “Set the power
plan” on page 14.
