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 parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are referred to as Customer
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.

© Lenovo 2006. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005. vii

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 not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an

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 not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable materials or in explosive

environments.

v Ventilation slots, fans and/or 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.

viii M500 Projector User ’s Guide

CD and DVD drive safety

CD and DVD drives spin discs at a high speed. If a CD or DVD is cracked or otherwise physically
damaged, it is possible for the disc to break apart or even shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect
against possible injury due to this situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do the
following:

v Always store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging
v Always store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources
v Remove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use
v Do not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or their packaging
v Check CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or damaged discs

When you contact a Service Provider for service, you must follow the problem determination and
resolution procedures that we specify. An initial diagnosis of your problem can be made either by a
technician over the telephone or electronically by access to a support website.

The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3 - Warranty Information.

You are responsible for downloading and installing designated software updates from a support web site
or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that your Service Provider provides.
Software updates may include basic input/output system code (called “BIOS”), utility programs, device
drivers, and other software updates.

If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”) (e.g., keyboard, mouse,
speaker, memory, hard disk drive), your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.

If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period and your problem cannot be
resolved over the telephone or electronically, through your application of software updates, or with a
CRU, your Service Provider, will either, at its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or

2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If your Service Provider is unable to do
either, you may return the Machine to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.

As part of the warranty service, your Service Provider may also install selected engineering changes that
apply to the Machine.

Exchange of a Machine or Part

When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item your Service Provider
replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed
items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order
and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service
status of the replaced item.

Your Additional Responsibilities

Before your Service Provider exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts,
options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.

You also agree to:

1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;

2. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a Machine that you do not

own; and

3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider provides;
b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the Machine; and
c. provide your Service Provider with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit

Lenovo to fulfill its obligations.

(a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal Data) is deleted from

4.

the Machine (to the extent technically possible), (b) allow your Service Provider or a supplier to
process on your behalf any remaining Personal Data as your Service Provider considers necessary to
fulfill its obligations under this Statement of Limited Warranty (which may include shipping the
Machine for such processing to other service locations around the world), and (c) ensure that such
processing complies with any laws applicable to such Personal Data.
