Safety information

The section provides critical safety and regulatory information for your tablet.

General battery notice

DANGER

Batteries supplied by Lenovo for use with your product have been tested for compatibility and should
only be replaced with approved parts. A battery other than the one specified by Lenovo, or a
disassembled or modified battery is not covered by the warranty.

Battery abuse or mishandling can cause overheat, liquid leakage, or an explosion. To avoid possible
injury, do the following:

 Do not open, dissemble, or service any battery.
 Do not crush or puncture the battery.
 Do not short-circuit the battery, or expose it to water or other liquids.
 Keep the battery away from children.
 Keep the battery away from fire.

Stop using the battery if it is damaged, or if you notice any discharge or the buildup of foreign
materials on the battery leads.

Store the rechargeable batteries or products containing the rechargeable batteries at room
temperature, charged to approximately 30% to 50% of capacity. We recommend that the batteries be
charged about once per year to prevent overdischarge.

Do not put the battery in trash that is disposed of in landfills. When disposing of the battery, comply
with local ordinances or regulations.

Notice for non-rechargeable coin-cell battery

DANGER

Do not attempt to replace the non-rechargeable coin-cell battery. Replacement of the battery must be
done by a Lenovo-authorized repair facility or technician.

The Lenovo-authorized repair facilities or technicians recycle Lenovo batteries according to local laws

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 tablet complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specification limits the tablet’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 tablet came with headphones or earphones in the package, as a set, the combination of the
headphones or earphones and the tablet 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.
