Use the P-to-P 2.0 charging function

The USB-C connector on the computer features the Lenovo-unique P-to-P 2.0 charging function. When no
ac power is available, this feature enables one computer to supply power to another computer through a
USB-C to USB-C cable. When ac power is available for only one computer, this feature enables both
computers to get charged by ac power.

Before using the function, ensure that:

• The selected connectors support the P-to-P 2.0 charging function and power delivery function.

• Always On USB and Charge in Battery Mode are enabled in UEFI BIOS of both computers, so that the
function works even when the computers are off or in hibernation mode. To enable Always On USB and
Charge in Battery Mode:

1. Enter the UEFI BIOS menu. See “Enter the UEFI BIOS menu” on page 29.

2. Click Config ➙ USB to enable Always On USB and Charge in Battery Mode.

To use the function:

• When no ac power is available:
The remaining battery power of computer A should be at least 30% and be 3% higher than that of

computer B. Connect the computers to each other with a USB-C to USB-C cable. In this situation,
computer A works as the power supply. Once the remaining battery power of computer A is lower than
30%, computer A stops supplying power to computer B.

• When ac power is available:
Connect the computers to each other with a USB-C to USB-C cable. Connect one computer to ac power.

In this situation, ac power works as the power supply and both computers get charged.

© Copyright Lenovo 2020 15

Note: The actual charging speed using the Lenovo-unique P-to-P 2.0 charging function varies depending on
many factors, such as the remaining battery power of the computers, the wattage of the ac power adapter,
and whether you are using the computers.

Connect to a Bluetooth-enabled device

You can connect all types of Bluetooth-enabled devices to your computer, such as a keyboard, a mouse, a
smartphone, or speakers. To ensure the connection is successful, place the devices 10 meters (33 feet), at
most, from the computer.

1. Turn on Bluetooth on the computer.

• Click the system menu drop down (top right) and choose Settings.

• Choose the Bluetooth menu and enable Bluetooth with the toggle button at the top.

2. Any discoverable devices will be shown in the Devices list.

3. Select a Bluetooth device, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

Your Bluetooth-enabled device and computer will automatically connect the next time if the two devices are
in range of each other with Bluetooth turned on. You can use Bluetooth for data transfer or remote control
and communication.
