Power cords, power adapters, and other features can create potential safety risks that can result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these risks, follow the instructions included with your product, observe all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions, and review the information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the information contained in this document and provided with your product, you can help protect yourself from hazards and create a safer computer work environment.

Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In addition to notebook computers, some products (such as speakers and monitors) are shipped with external power adapters. If you have such a product, this information applies to your product. In addition, computer products contain a coin-sized internal battery that provides power to the system clock even when the computer is unplugged, so the battery safety information applies to all computer products.

Limited Warranty. For more information, refer to

Conditions that require immediate action

Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product damage is serious enough that the product should not be used again until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an Authorized Service Provider.

As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is turned on. On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks vent from your product. Or you might hear sounds like popping, cracking, or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner. Or, they might indicate a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the Customer Support Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support phone numbers, see Chapter 6, “Worldwide telephone list,” on page 51.

Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage, wear, or signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer Support Center or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product and have it repaired, if necessary.

In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if you have any safety concerns with your product, stop using the product and unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until you can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.

v Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or

power supplies that are cracked, broken, or damaged.

v Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire. v Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a

battery, or a buildup of foreign substances on the battery. v A cracking, hissing, or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the

product. v Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer

product, the power cord, or power adapter. v The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to

water.

v The product has been dropped or damaged in any way. v The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating

instructions.

Note: If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension cord) that is not manufactured for or by Lenovo, stop using that product until you can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions, or until you get a suitable replacement.

General safety guidelines

Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.

Service and upgrades

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center or your documentation. Only use a Service Provider who is approved to repair your particular product.

Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Upgrades typically are referred to as options. Replacement parts approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for

2 Safety and Warranty Guide

customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing or replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a product are zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power cord, always make sure that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. For more information on CRUs, refer to the ThinkCentre User Guide for this product. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the following warnings are required for your safety.

DANGER

Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.

CAUTION:

Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to five minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.

Static electricity prevention

Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options. Improper handling of static-sensitive parts can cause damage to the part. When you unpack an option or CRU, do not open the static-protective package containing the part until the instructions direct you to install it.

When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer, take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up

around you.

v Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules,

and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.

v Prevent others from touching components.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 3

v When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-protective

package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other

unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This

reduces static electricity in the package and your body. v When possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-protective

packaging and install the part without setting it down. When this is not

possible, place the static-protective packaging on a smooth, level surface and

place the part on it. v Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Power cords and power adapters

Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.

The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be H05VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm

, or better. For other countries, the suitable types shall be used

accordingly.

Never wrap a power cord around a 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 power cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your power 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 power cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids also can cause gradual corrosion of power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on a power 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 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.

4 Safety and Warranty Guide

Voltage-selection switch

Some computers are equipped with a voltage-selection switch located near the power-cord connection point on the computer and some computers do not have a voltage-selection switch. Before you install your computer or relocate your computer to another country or region, you must be certain that you have matched your computer to the voltage available at your electrical outlet.

CAUTION: You must know the voltage of the electrical connection (outlet) where your computer will be connected. If you do not know the voltage, contact your local electric company or refer to official Web sites or other literature for travelers to the country or region where you are located.

If your computer has a voltage-selection switch, you must set the switch to match the voltage available at your electrical outlet. Setting the voltage-selection switch incorrectly will cause the computer to malfunction and might cause permanent damage to the computer. Do not connect the computer to an electrical outlet until you have verified that the voltage-selection switch setting matches the voltage available at the electrical outlets.

If your computer does not have a voltage-selection switch, inspect the voltage-rating label on the bottom of the computer and note the following:

v If the voltage-rating label shows a range of either ″100-127 V″ or ″200-240 V,″

you must ensure that the voltage provided at the electrical outlet matches the voltage rating on the computer label. If it does not match, do not attempt to connect the computer to the electrical outlet, unless an external device such as a voltage-converting transformer is used.

v If the voltage-rating label shows a dual range of ″100-127 V″ and ″200-240

V,″ this signifies that the computer is suitable for worldwide operation and the computer will automatically adjust to the voltage at the electrical outlet regardless of the country or region where the computer is being connected.

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.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 5

Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to obtain a replacement.

Do not share an electrical outlet with other home or commercial appliances that draw large amounts of electricity; otherwise, unstable voltage might damage your computer, data, or attached devices.

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.

Be sure that the power outlet provides the correct voltage and current for the product you are installing.

Carefully connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet.

External devices

Do not connect or disconnect any external device cables other than USB and 1394 cables while the computer power is on; otherwise, you might damage your computer. To avoid possible damage to attached devices, wait at least five seconds after the computer is shut down to disconnect external devices.

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 computers, 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 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.

6 Safety and Warranty Guide

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, power adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging. Always follow these basic precautions:

v Do not leave your computer, power adapter, or accessories in contact with

your lap or any part of your body for an extended period when the products are functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer, power adapter, and many accessories produce some heat during normal operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially, a skin burn.

v Do not charge the battery or operate your computer, power adapter, or

accessories near flammable materials or in explosive environments.

v Ventilation slots, fans, and 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.

Inspect your desktop computer for dust accumulation at least once every three months. Before inspecting your computer, turn off the power and unplug the computer’s power cord from the electrical outlet; then remove any dust from vents and perforations in the bezel. If you notice external dust accumulation, then examine and remove dust from the inside of the computer including heat sink inlet fins, power supply vents, and fans. Always turn off and unplug the computer before opening the cover. If possible, avoid operating your computer within two feet of high-traffic areas. If you must operate your computer in or near a high-traffic area, inspect and, if necessary, clean your computer more frequently.

For your safety and to maintain optimum computer performance, always follow these basic precautions with your desktop computer:

v Keep the cover closed whenever the computer is plugged in. v Regularly inspect the outside of the computer for dust accumulation.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 7

v Remove dust from vents and any perforations in the bezel. More frequent

cleanings might be required for computers in dusty or high-traffic areas.

v Do not restrict or block any ventilation openings. v Do not store or operate your computer inside furniture, as this might

increase the risk of overheating.

v Airflow temperatures into the computer should not exceed 35° C (95° F). v Do not install air filtration devices. They may interfere with proper cooling.

Operating environment

The optimal environment in which to use your computer is 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F) with humidity ranging between 35% and 80%. If your computer is stored or transported in temperatures less than 10°C (50°F), allow the cold computer to rise slowly to an optimal operating temperature of 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F) before use. This process could take two hours in extreme conditions. Failure to allow your computer to rise to an optimal operating temperature before use could result in irreparable damage to your computer.

If possible, place your computer in a well-ventilated and dry area without direct exposure to sunshine.

12 Safety and Warranty Guide

The following notice applies to all countries and regions:

DANGER

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Lightning

For added protection for this equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the video product due to lightning and power line surges.

Power lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.

Data safety

Do not delete unknown files or change the name of files or directories that were not created by you; otherwise, your computer software might fail to work.

Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your computer vulnerable to computer viruses, hackers, spyware, and other malicious activities that might damage your computer, software, or data. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate protection in the form of firewalls, antivirus software, and anti-spyware software and keep this software up to date.

Chapter 1. Important safety information 13

Cleaning and maintenance

Keep your computer and workspace clean. Shut down the computer and then disconnect the power cord before cleaning the computer. Do not spray any liquid detergent directly on the computer or use any detergent containing flammable material to clean the computer. Spray the detergent on a soft cloth and then wipe the computer surfaces.

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 earphones and headphones output voltage and therefore the sound pressure 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) for 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.

Additional safety information

CAUTION: Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and children to avoid danger of suffocation.

14 Safety and Warranty Guide

Chapter 2. Arranging your workspace

To get the most from your computer, arrange both the equipment you use and your work area to suit your needs and the kind of work you do. Your comfort is of foremost importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the location of electrical outlets can also affect the way you arrange your workspace.

Comfort

Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, here are a few guidelines to help you find a position that suits you best.

Sitting in the same position for a long time can cause fatigue. The backrest and seat of your chair should adjust independently and provide good support. The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on the thighs. Adjust the seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are either flat on the floor or on a footrest.

When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your wrists in a comfortable position. Use a light touch on the keyboard and your hands and fingers relaxed. Change the angle of the keyboard for maximum comfort by adjusting the position of the keyboard feet.

Viewing Distance

Lower Back Support

Seat Height

Adjust the monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level. Place the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 51 to 61 cm (20 to 24 inch), and position it so you can view it without having to twist your body. Also, position other equipment you use regularly, such as the telephone or a mouse, within easy reach.

Glare and lighting

Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights, windows, and other light sources. Reflected light from shiny surfaces can cause annoying reflections on your monitor screen. Place the monitor at right angles to windows and other light sources, when possible. Reduce overhead lighting, if necessary, by turning off lights or using lower wattage bulbs. If you install the monitor near a window, use curtains or blinds to block the sunlight. You can adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor as the room lighting changes throughout the day.

Where it is impossible to avoid reflections or to adjust the lighting, an antiglare filter placed over the screen might be helpful. However, these filters might affect the clarity of the image on the screen; try them only after you have exhausted other methods of reducing glare.

Dust buildup compounds problems associated with glare. Remember to clean your monitor screen periodically using a soft cloth as directed in your monitor documentation.

Air circulation

Your computer and monitor produce heat. The computer has a fan that pulls in fresh air and forces out hot air. The monitor lets hot air escape through vents. Blocking the air vents can cause overheating, which might result in a malfunction or damage. Place the computer and monitor so that nothing blocks the air vents; usually, 51 mm (2 inches) of air space is sufficient. Also, make sure the vented air is not blowing on people.

Electrical outlets and cable lengths

The location of electrical outlets, the length of power cords and cables that connect to the monitor, printer, and other devices might determine the final placement of your computer.

When arranging your workspace: v Avoid the use of extension cords. When possible, plug the computer power

cord directly into an electrical outlet. v Keep power cords and cables neatly routed away from walkways and other

areas where they might get kicked accidentally.

For more information about power cords, see Chapter 1, “Important safety information,” on page 1.

If required, your Service Provider will provide repair or exchange service depending on the type of warranty service specified for your product and the available service. Scheduling of service will depend upon the time of your call, parts availability, and other factors.

A warranty period of three (3) years on parts and one (1) year on labor means that Lenovo will provide warranty service without charge for:

a. parts and labor during the first year of the warranty period (or a longer period as required by law); and

b. parts only, on an exchange basis, in the second and third years of the warranty period. Your Service Provider will charge you for any labor provided in performance of the repair or replacement in the second and third years of the warranty period.

Types of Warranty Service

1. Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″) Service

Under CRU Service, your Service Provider will ship CRUs to you for installation by you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon request.

Chapter 5. Lenovo Limited Warranty 47

CRUs that are easily installed by you are called Self-service CRUs, while Optional-service CRUs may require some technical skill and tools. Installation of Self-service CRUs is your responsibility. You may request that a Service Provider install Optional-service CRUs under one of the other types of warranty service designated for your product. An optional service offering may be available for purchase from Lenovo to have Lenovo install Self-service CRUs for you. You may find a list of CRUs and their designation in the publication that ships with your product or at www.lenovo.com/CRUs. The requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU. When return is required: 1) return instructions, a prepaid return shipping label, and a container will be included with the replacement CRU; and 2) you may be charged for the replacement CRU if your Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement.

2. On-site Service

Under On-Site Service, your Service Provider will either repair or exchange the product at your location. You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the Lenovo product. For some products, certain repairs may require your Service Provider to send the product to a designated service center.

3. Courier or Depot Service

Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated service center, with shipping arranged by your Service Provider. You are responsible for disconnecting the product. A shipping container will be provided to you for you to return your product to a designated service center. A courier will pick up your product and deliver it to the designated service center. Following its repair or exchange, the service center will arrange the return delivery of the product to you.

4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service

Under Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated service center, with delivery or shipping arranged by you. You are responsible to deliver or mail, as your Service Provider specifies, (prepaid by you unless specified otherwise) the product, suitably packaged to a designated location. After the product has been repaired or exchanged, it will be made available for your collection. Failure to collect the product may result in your Service Provider disposing of the product as it sees fit. For Mail-in Service, the product will be returned to you at Lenovo’s expense, unless your Service Provider specifies otherwise.

48 Safety and Warranty Guide

5. Product Exchange Service

Under Product Exchange Service, Lenovo will ship a replacement product to your location. You are responsible for its installation and verification of its operation. The replacement product becomes your property in exchange for the failed product, which becomes the property of Lenovo. You must pack the failed product in the shipping carton used to ship the replacement product and return it to Lenovo. Transportation charges, both ways, are paid by Lenovo. Failure to use the carton in which the replacement product was received may result in your responsibility for damage to the failed product during shipment. You may be charged for the replacement product if Lenovo does not receive the failed product within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement product.

Chapter 7. Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs)

Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) are computer parts that can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. There are two types of CRUs: Self-service and Optional-service. Self-service CRUs are easy to install. They might be standalone, latched, or require a screwdriver to remove a maximum of two screws. However, Optional-service CRUs require some technical skills and in some cases might also require simple tools, such as a screwdriver. However, both Self-service and Optional-service CRUs are safe for the customer to remove.

Customers are responsible for replacing all Self-service CRUs. Optional-service CRUs can be removed and installed by customers or by a Lenovo service technician during the warranty period. Lenovo desktop computers contain both Self-service and Optional-service CRUs.

v Self-service CRUs: these CRUs unplug or are secured by no more than two

screws. Examples of these types of CRUs include the keyboard, the mouse, any USB device, and the power cord. Other Self-service CRUs depending on product design might include memory modules, adapter cards, hard disk drives, and optical drives.

v Optional-service CRUs: these CRUs are isolated parts within the computer

and are concealed by an access panel that is typically secured by more than two screws. Once the access panel is removed, the specific CRU is visible.

v Both types of CRUs are listed in the tables on the following page.

The ThinkCentre User Guide provides instructions for replacing Self-service and Optional-service CRUs. Refer to the following tables to determine which publication contains the instructions you need. If your computer model has an internal hard disk drive and preinstalled software from Lenovo, you can view a publication by clicking Start → All Programs → Online Books → Online Books. Double-click the appropriate publication for your computer. If your computer model does not have an internal hard disk drive and preinstalled software from Lenovo, you can access the publications on the Lenovo Web site at: http://www.lenovo.com

Note: Only use computer parts provided by Lenovo. Refer to Chapter 5, “Lenovo Limited Warranty,” on page 31 for warranty information about the CRUs for your machine type.

You can find the following CRUs replacement instructions in the ThinkCentre User Guide.

Chapitre 1. Consignes de sécurité

Remarque : Veuillez commencer par lire et comprendre les consignes de sécurité.

Ces informations peuvent vous aider à utiliser votre ordinateur personnel de bureau ou portable en toute sécurité. Suivez et conservez toutes les instructions fournies avec votre ordinateur. Les informations de ce document ne modifient pas les dispositions de votre contrat de vente ou de la Déclaration de Garantie Lenovo. Pour plus d’informations, voir Chapitre 5, «Garantie Lenovo», à la page 115.

La sécurité des clients est au coeur des préoccupations de Lenovo. Nos produits sont développés dans une optique de sécurité et d’efficacité. Cependant, les ordinateurs personnels sont des appareils électroniques. Les cordons d’alimentation, les blocs d’alimentation et d’autres dispositifs présentent un danger potentiel pour la sécurité et peuvent provoquer des blessures ou des dommages matériels, surtout s’ils sont mal utilisés. Pour réduire ces risques, suivez les instructions accompagnant votre produit, respectez tous les avertissements figurant sur le produit ainsi que dans les instructions d’utilisation et lisez soigneusement les informations de ce document. Ce faisant, vous vous prémunirez contre les risques et vous renforcerez la sécurité de l’environnement de travail informatique.

Remarque : Ces informations comprennent des références aux blocs d’alimentation et aux piles et batteries. Outre les ordinateurs personnels portables, certains produits (tels que des haut-parleurs et des écrans) sont dotés de blocs d’alimentation externes. Si vous possédez un tel produit, ces informations sont applicables. En outre, les produits informatiques contiennent une pile interne de la taille d’une pièce de monnaie qui fournit une alimentation à l’horloge système même lorsque l’ordinateur est débranché. Les consignes de sécurité concernant les piles s’appliquent donc à tous les produits informatiques.

Conditions qui nécessitent une action immédiate

Des produits peuvent être endommagés à la suite d’une mauvaise utilisation ou d’une négligence. Ces dommages peuvent être trop sérieux pour que le produit puisse être utilisé tant qu’il n’aura pas été examiné et réparé, le cas échéant, par un prestataire de services agréé.

Comme avec tout appareil électronique, examinez attentivement le produit lors de sa mise sous tension. Dans quelques rares cas, vous pourriez remarquer une odeur, de la fumée ou des étincelles en provenance de votre produit. Il se peut également que vous entendiez des claquements, des craquements ou des sifflements. Cela peut signifier simplement qu’un composant électronique interne est tombé en panne en mode contrôlé sans conséquence pour votre sécurité. Mais cela peut aussi indiquer un danger potentiel. Ne prenez pas de risques et ne tentez pas de diagnostiquer vous-même l’incident. Pour obtenir de l’assistance, contactez le service clients. Pour obtenir la liste des numéros de téléphone du support technique en ligne, voir Chapitre 6, «Liste des numéros de téléphone internationaux», à la page 137.

Inspectez régulièrement votre ordinateur et ses composants pour détecter tout dommage, signe d’usure ou source de danger. Si vous avez des doutes sur l’état d’un composant, n’utilisez pas le produit. Prenez contact avec le centre de support ou avec le fabricant du produit pour savoir comment diagnostiquer l’incident et, si nécessaire, faites réparer le produit.

Dans l’éventualité peu probable où vous constateriez l’une des manifestations décrites ci-après, ou en cas d’incidents remettant en cause la sécurité d’utilisation, cessez d’utiliser le produit et débranchez-le de sa source d’alimentation et des lignes téléphoniques jusqu’à ce que vous ayez pu obtenir des instructions du centre de support.

v Cordons d’alimentation, prises, blocs d’alimentation, rallonges, dispositifs de

80 Consignes de sécurité et déclaration de garantie

Consignes générales de sécurité

Respectez toujours les précautions ci-après pour réduire les risques de blessure ou de dommages matériels.

Maintenance et mises à niveau

Ne tentez pas de réparer un produit vous-même, à moins d’y avoir été invité par le centre de support ou la documentation. Faites uniquement appel à un prestataire de services ayant reçu l’agrément pour réparer ce produit en particulier.

Remarque : Certains composants de l’ordinateur peuvent être mis à niveau ou remplacés par le client. Les mises à niveau sont généralement appelées des options. Les composants de rechange dont l’installation par le client est approuvée sont appelés des unités remplaçables par le client, ou CRU. Lenovo fournit une documentation qui contient des instructions indiquant dans quels cas le client peut installer des options ou remplacer des CRU. Vous devez suivre scrupuleusement toutes les instructions lorsque vous installez ou remplacez des composants. L’extinction d’un voyant d’alimentation ne signifie pas nécessairement que les niveaux de tension à l’intérieur d’un produit sont nuls. Avant d’effectuer la dépose des carters d’un produit équipé d’un cordon d’alimentation secteur, vérifiez toujours que l’alimentation est coupée et que le produit est débranché de toute source d’alimentation. Pour plus d’informations sur les unités remplaçables par l’utilisateur, voir le Guide d’utilisation de ce produit. Si vous avez des questions ou des doutes, adressez-vous au centre de support.

Bien qu’il n’y ait plus de pièce en mouvement dans votre ordinateur une fois le cordon d’alimentation débranché, les avertissements suivants sont requis pour votre sécurité.

DANGER

Pièces en mouvement dangereuses. Evitez tout contact avec les doigts et toute autre partie du corps.

Chapitre 1. Consignes de sécurité 81

ATTENTION :

Avant de remplacer des CRU, mettez l’ordinateur hors tension et attendez entre trois à cinq minutes que l’ordinateur refroidisse avant d’ouvrir le carter.

Protection antistatique

Si l’électricité statique est inoffensive pour votre santé, elle risque en revanche de causer des dommages importants aux composants et options de votre ordinateur. Une manipulation incorrecte de composants sensibles à l’électricité statique risque de causer de les endommager. Lorsque vous déballez une option ou une CRU, n’ouvrez pas l’emballage antistatique qui contient le composant avant que les instructions ne vous demandent de l’installer.

Lorsque vous manipulez des options ou des CRU, ou que vous réalisez des interventions à l’intérieur de l’ordinateur, prenez les précautions suivantes afin d’éviter les dommages liés à l’électricité statique :

v Limitez vos mouvements, car ceux-ci provoquent une accumulation

d’électricité statique.

v Manipulez toujours les composants avec précaution. Manipulez les cartes,

modules mémoire et autres cartes à circuits imprimés en les tenant par les bords. Ne touchez jamais directement des circuits.

v Empêchez toute autre personne de toucher les composants. v Lorsque vous installez une option ou une CRU sensible à l’électricité

statique, mettez l’emballage antistatique du composant en contact avec le carter d’un logement d’extension en métal ou toute autre surface métallique non peinte de l’ordinateur pendant au moins deux secondes. Cela permet de dissiper l’électricité statique présente dans l’emballage et votre corps.

v Lorsque cela est possible, retirez le composant de son emballage antistatique

au dernier moment et installez-le sans le poser. Sinon, posez-le sur son emballage antistatique, sur une surface plane et lisse.

v Ne mettez pas le composant en contact avec le carter de l’ordinateur ou

toute autre surface métallique.

Cordons et blocs d’alimentation

N’utilisez que les cordons et les blocs d’alimentation fournis par le fabricant du produit.

Les cordons d’alimentation doivent être conformes aux normes de sécurité. En Allemagne, ils doivent être de type H05VV-F, 3G, 0,75 mm supérieure. Dans les autres pays, utilisez les types de câble appropriés.

82 Consignes de sécurité et déclaration de garantie

ou de section

N’enroulez jamais un cordon d’alimentation autour du bloc d’alimentation ou de tout autre objet. Une telle contrainte risque d’effilocher, de fissurer ou de plisser le cordon. Cela peut représenter un danger pour la sécurité.

Disposez les cordons d’alimentation de manière à ce qu’ils ne soient pas piétinés, ni coincés.

Evitez d’exposer le cordon et les blocs d’alimentation à des liquides. Ainsi, ne laissez pas le cordon ou le bloc d’alimentation à proximité d’éviers, de bassines, de toilettes ou sur des sols nettoyés avec des détergents liquides. Les liquides risquent de provoquer des court-circuits, surtout si le cordon ou le bloc d’alimentation a été soumis à des contraintes résultant d’une mauvaise utilisation. Les liquides peuvent également entraîner une corrosion progressive des terminaisons du cordon d’alimentation ou des connecteurs susceptible de provoquer une surchauffe.

Connectez toujours les cordons d’alimentation et les câbles d’interface dans le bon ordre et assurez-vous que tous leurs connecteurs sont bien enfoncés et fixés dans les prises.

N’utilisez pas de bloc d’alimentation présentant des signes de corrosion sur les broches d’entrée secteur ou des signes de surchauffe (déformation du plastique, par exemple) sur l’entrée secteur ou à tout autre endroit du cordon d’alimentation.

N’utilisez pas de cordons d’alimentation sur lesquels les contacts électriques à l’une ou l’autre des extrémités présentent des signes de corrosion ou de surchauffe, ou qui semblent être endommagés.

Sélecteur de tension

Certains ordinateurs sont équipés d’un sélecteur de tension qui est situé à côté du point de connexion du cordon d’alimentation de l’ordinateur et certains ordinateurs n’en ont pas. Avant d’installer votre ordinateur ou de le réinstaller dans un autre pays ou région, vous devez vous assurer que c elui-ci correspond à la tension disponible à votre source d’alimentation.

ATTENTION : Vous devez connaître la tension de la connexion électrique (prise de courant) à laquelle votre ordinateur sera connecté. Si vous ne connaissez pas la tension du courant, contactez votre compagnie d’électricité ou reportez-vous aux sites Web officiels ou à d’autres documentations pour les voyageurs.

Si votre ordinateur dispose d’un sélecteur de tension, assurez-vous qu’il est configuré pour correspondre à la tension de sortie de la prise de courant. Si celui-ci est mal configuré, votre ordinateur risque de mal fonctionner et d’être

Chapitre 1. Consignes de sécurité 83

endommagé de façon irrémédiable. Ne connectez pas votre ordinateur à une prise électrique avant d’avoir vérifié que le sélecteur de tension correspond à la tension de la prise.

Si votre ordinateur ne possède pas de sélecteur de tension, consultez l’étiquette indiquant la tension en bas de l’ordinateur :

v si l’étiquette indique une tension allant de ″100-127 V″ ou ″200-240 V,″ vous

devez vérifier que la tension de la prise de courant correspond à la tension figurant sur l’étiquette de l’ordinateur. Si ce n’est pas le cas, ne connectez pas l’ordinateur à la prise, sauf si vous utilisez un convertisseur de tension externe.

v Si l’étiquette de tension indique à la fois ″100-127 V″ et ″200-240 V,″ cela

signifie que l’ordinateur peut fonctionner dans le monde entier et qu’il s’adapte automatiquement à la prise de courant, quel que soit le pays ou la région où il est connecté.

Prolongateurs et dispositifs associés

Assurez-vous que les prolongateurs, les dispositifs de protection contre les surtensions, les blocs d’alimentation de secours et les multiprises que vous utilisez ont des caractéristiques de tension correspondant aux besoins électriques du produit. Ne surchargez jamais ces dispositifs. Si vous utilisez des multiprises, la charge ne doit pas dépasser la tension d’entrée. Adressez-vous à un électricien pour plus de détails ou si vous avez des questions concernant les charges de courant, les besoins en alimentation et les tensions d’entrée.

Fiches et prises

Si une prise de courant destinée au matériel de votre ordinateur semble être endommagée ou corrodée, ne l’utilisez pas et attendez qu’elle soit remplacée par un électricien qualifié.

Ne tordez pas ou ne modifiez pas une fiche électrique. Si une fiche est endommagée, prenez contact avec le fabricant pour la remplacer.

Ne partagez pas une prise électrique avec d’autres appareils domestiques ou professionnels consommant une grande quantité d’électricité, car une tension instable risquerait d’endommager votre ordinateur, vos données ou les périphériques connectés.

Certains produits sont équipés d’une fiche à trois broches. Cette fiche s’adapte uniquement à une prise de courant mise à la terre. Il s’agit d’un dispositif de sécurité. Ne le désactivez pas en tentant d’insérer la fiche dans une prise non reliée à la terre. Si vous ne pouvez pas enfoncer la fiche dans la prise, demandez à un électricien de vous fournir un adaptateur de prise approuvé ou de remplacer la prise par une autre prise prenant en charge ce dispositif de

84 Consignes de sécurité et déclaration de garantie

sécurité. Ne surchargez jamais une prise de courant. La charge totale du système ne doit pas dépasser 80 pour cent de la tension du circuit de dérivation. Adressez-vous à un électricien pour plus de détails ou si vous avez des questions concernant les charges de courant et les tensions des circuits de dérivation.

Assurez-vous que la prise de courant utilisée est correctement câblée, facilement accessible et placée à proximité du matériel. Ne tendez pas complètement les cordons d’alimentation pour éviter toute contrainte.

Assurez-vous que la prise électrique délivre une tension et un courant adaptés au produit que vous installez.

Branchez et débranchez avec précaution le matériel de la prise de courant.

Périphériques externes

Ne branchez ou ne débranchez pas de câbles de périphérique externe autres que des câbles USB et 1394 quand l’ordinateur est sous tension, car vous risqueriez de l’endommager. Afin d’éviter d’endommager les périphériques connectés, patientez au moins cinq secondes après la mise hors tension de l’ordinateur pour déconnecter les périphériques externes.

Piles et batteries

Tous les PC Lenovo contiennent une pile format bouton non rechargeable destinée à alimenter l’horloge système. En outre, de nombreux produits mobiles, tels que les ordinateurs portables, utilisent un bloc de piles rechargeables qui fournissent du courant au système en mode portable. La compatibilité des piles fournies par Lenovo en vue d’être utilisées avec votre produit a été testée. Ces piles doivent être uniquement remplacées par des composants agréés.

Ne tentez jamais d’ouvrir ou de réparer une pile ou une batterie. Ne broyez pas, ne percez pas et n’incinérez pas les piles ou les batteries et ne provoquez pas de court-circuit sur les contacts en métal. N’exposez pas la pile ou la batterie à l’eau ou à tout autre liquide. Rechargez uniquement le bloc de piles en vous conformant strictement aux instructions fournies dans la documentation du produit.

Un mauvais traitement ou une mauvaise utilisation risque d’entraîner une surchauffe de la pile pouvant se traduire par une émission de gaz ou de flammes de la part du bloc de piles ou de la pile cellulaire. Si votre pile ou batterie est endommagée ou que vous remarquez des décharges en provenance de celle-ci ou l’accumulation de substances étrangères sur ses composants en plomb, arrêtez de l’utiliser et procurez-vous une pile ou une batterie de rechange auprès du fabricant.

Chapitre 1. Consignes de sécurité 85

Les piles ou les batteries peuvent se dégrader lorsqu’elles restent inutilisées pendant un long moment. Dans le cas de certaines piles et batteries rechargeables (en particulier celles au lithium-ion), le fait de laisser une pile ou une batterie déchargée peut augmenter les risques de court-circuits susceptibles de diminuer leur durée de vie et de présenter un danger pour la sécurité. Ne laissez pas des piles ou batteries au lithium-ion rechargeables se décharger complètement et ne les rangez pas déchargées.

Chaleur et ventilation des produits

Les ordinateurs, les boîtiers d’alimentation et de nombreux accessoires dégagent de la chaleur lorsqu’ils sont sous tension et que les piles sont en charge. Respectez toujours ces précautions de base :

v Ne laissez pas l’ordinateur, le boîtier d’alimentation ou les accessoires en

contact prolongé avec vos genoux ou avec une partie quelconque de votre corps lorsque ces produits sont en fonctionnement ou que la batterie est en cours de chargement. L’ordinateur, le bloc d’alimentation et de nombreux accessoires dégagent de la chaleur lorsqu’ils fonctionnement. Un contact prolongé avec votre peau peut provoquer des lésions, voire des brûlures.

v Ne mettez pas la pile en charge et ne mettez pas sous tension l’ordinateur, le

bloc d’alimentation ou les accessoires à proximité de matériaux inflammables ou dans un environnement présentant des risques d’explosion.

v Votre produit est équipé d’ouvertures de ventilation, de ventilateurs et de

dissipateurs thermiques à des fins de sécurité, de confort et de fiabilité de fonctionnement. Vous risquez de bloquer ces dispositifs par inadvertance si vous placez le produit sur un lit, un canapé, un tapis ou toute autre surface souple. Vous ne devez jamais bloquer, couvrir ou désactiver ces dispositifs.

Vous devez inspecter votre ordinateur au moins une fois par trimestre pour vérifier que de la poussière ne s’est pas accumulée. Avant de procéder à cette opération, mettez l’ordinateur hors tension et débranchez-le. Vous pouvez ensuite retirer la poussière qui se trouve dans les ventilateurs ou les trous du panneau frontal. Si vous remarquez que de la poussière s’est accumulée à l’extérieur, vous devez également examiner et retirer la poussière se trouvant à l’intérieur de l’ordinateur, notamment dans les ventilateurs (du dissipateur thermique, du bloc d’alimentation et de l’ordinateur). Avant de retirer le carter, mettez toujours l’ordinateur hors tension et débranchez-le. Il est recommandé d’éviter d’utiliser l’ordinateur à moins de 50 centimètres d’un lieu de passage important. Si vous ne pouvez pas faire autrement, inspectez et nettoyez l’ordinateur plus souvent.

86 Consignes de sécurité et déclaration de garantie

Respectez toujours les précautions suivantes pour assurer votre sécurité et des performances optimales de votre ordinateur :

v Lorsque l’ordinateur est branché, ne retirez jamais le carter. v Vérifiez régulièrement l’extérieur de l’ordinateur pour rechercher les

éventuelles accumulations de poussière.

v Retirez la poussière qui se trouve dans les ventilateurs ou les trous du

panneau frontal. Si vous travaillez dans un environnement poussiéreux ou près d’un lieu de passage important, nettoyez plus souvent votre ordinateur.
