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)

The following statement applies to users in the state

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.
