This section contains important safety information for Lenovo products. Additional
safety information is provided in the User Guide for your product. See “Accessing
your User Guide” for additional information.
Laser compliance statement
CAUTION:
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 exposure.
DANGER
Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser
diode. Note the following:
Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view
directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the
Plastic bag notice
DANGER
Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies
Lithium coin cell battery notice
DANGER
When replacing the lithium coin cell battery, use only the same type or 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)
• Repair or disassemble
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.
California Perchlorate Information:
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
If your computer has both a headphone connector and an audio line-out 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
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.
