Lithium coin cell battery notice
DANGER
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
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.

• 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.

contain perchlorate.
Perchlorate Material - special handling may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
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.
