When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD drives, fiber optic
devices, or transmitters) are installed, note the following:
Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product
could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no
serviceable parts inside the device.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation

Rechargeable battery notice (for notebook computers)
DANGER
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack.
Attempting to do so can cause an explosion, or liquid leakage
from the battery pack. A battery pack other than the one
specified by Lenovo, or a disassembled or modified battery pack
is not covered by the warranty.
If the rechargeable battery pack is incorrectly replaced, there is
danger of an explosion. The battery pack contains a small
amount of harmful substances. To avoid possible injury:
• Replace only with a battery of the type recommended by
Lenovo.
• Keep the battery pack away from fire.
• Do not expose it to water or rain.
• Do not attempt to disassemble it.
• Do not short-circuit it.
• Keep it away from children.
• Do not drop the battery pack.
Do not put the battery pack in trash that is disposed of in
landfills. When disposing of the battery, comply with local
ordinances or regulations.
The battery pack should be stored at room temperature, charged
to approximately 30 to 50% of capacity. We recommend that the
battery pack be charged about once per year to prevent
overdischarge.
Lithium coin-cell battery notice
DANGER
When replacing the lithium coin-cell battery, use only the same or an
equivalent type that is recommended by the manufacturer. The battery
contains lithium and can explode if not properly used, handled, or disposed
of.
Do not:
• Throw or immerse into water
• Heat to more than 100°C (212°F)

Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.
The following statement applies to users in the state of California, U.S.A.

Products containing manganese dioxide lithium coin cell batteries may
contain perchlorate.
Perchlorate Material - special handling may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
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.
Using headphones 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 computer complies with EN 50332-2
Sub clause 7. This specification limits the computer’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) or 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 Lenovo computer came with headphones or earphones in the
package, as a set, the combination of the headphones or earphones and the
computer 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.
