ii ThinkPad Helix User Guide

Read this ﬁrst

Be sure to follow the important tips given here to get the most use and enjoyment out of the tablet. Failure to do so might lead to discomfort or injury, or cause the tablet to fail.

Important safety and handling information

To avoid personal injury, property damage, or accidental damage to your ThinkPad®Helix (hereafter called the tablet), read all of the information in this section before using it.

For detailed operating instructions, refer to the ThinkPad Helix User Guide (this publication). You can access the ThinkPad Helix User Guide by using one of the following methods:

• Go to http://www.lenovo.com/UserManuals and follow the instructions on the screen.

• Open Windows®Help and Support. Then tap Lenovo User Guide.

For additional tips to help you operate the tablet safely, go to: http://www.lenovo.com/safety

Handle your tablet with care:

Do not drop, bend, puncture, insert foreign objects, or place heavy objects on your tablet. Sensitive components inside might become damaged.

Your tablet screen is made of glass. The glass might break if the tablet is dropped on a hard surface, is the subject of a high impact, or is crushed by a heavy object. If the glass chips or cracks, do not touch the broken glass or attempt to remove it from the tablet. Stop using the tablet immediately and contact Lenovo®technical support for repair, replacement, or disposal information.

Do not disassemble or modify your tablet:

Your tablet is a sealed unit. There are no end-user serviceable parts inside. All internal repairs must be done by a Lenovo-authorized repair facility or a Lenovo-authorized technician. Attempting to open or modify your tablet will void the warranty.

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.

iii

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 built-in rechargeable battery

DANGER

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

Only recharge the battery strictly according to instructions included in the product documentation.

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

Notice for non-rechargeable coin-cell battery

DANGER

If the coin-cell battery is incorrectly replaced, there is danger of an explosion. The battery contains a small amount of harmful substance.

Do not heat to more than 100°C (212°F).

The following statement applies to users in the state of California, U.S.A.

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

Prevent your tablet and adapter from getting wet:

Do not immerse your tablet in water or leave it in a location where it can get saturated with water or other liquids.

Use supported charging methods only:

You can use any of the following charging methods to recharge the internal battery of your tablet safely:

Attention: Use only Lenovo-approved ac power adapters. Unauthorized ac power adapters could severely damage the tablet.

• ac power adapter shipped with your tablet

• ThinkPad Ultrabook Pro Keyboard and the ac power adapter shipped with the keyboard, if available

iv ThinkPad Helix User Guide

• ThinkPad Tablet Dock and the ac power adapter shipped with the dock

Note: The ThinkPad Tablet Dock is an optional device that Lenovo designed speciﬁcally for your tablet. To purchase the option from Lenovo, go to: http://www.lenovo.com/essentials

Charging devices might become warm during normal use. Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around the charging device. Unplug the charging device if any of the following occurs:

• The charging device has been exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.

• The charging device shows signs of physical damage.

• You want to clean the charging device.

Lenovo is not responsible for the performance or safety of products not manufactured or approved by Lenovo.

Prevent hearing damage:

Your tablet has a combo audio connector that you can use 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 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) 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 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.

Take care when using your tablet in a motor vehicle or on a bicycle:

Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Follow the law. Local laws and regulations might govern how you can use mobile electronic devices, such as your tablet, while you drive a motor vehicle or ride a bicycle.

Dispose according to local laws and regulations:

When your tablet reaches the end of its useful life, do not crush, incinerate, immerse in water, or dispose of your tablet in any manner contrary to local laws and regulations. Some internal parts contain substances that can explode, leak, or have an adverse environmental affect if disposed of incorrectly.

See Appendix B “WEEE and recycling information” on page 103 for additional information.

Keep your tablet and accessories away from small children:

Your tablet contains small parts that can be a choking hazard to small children. Additionally, the glass screen can break or crack if dropped on or thrown against a hard surface.

Protect your data and software:

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

Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your tablet vulnerable to viruses, hackers, spyware, and other malicious activities that might damage your tablet, 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.

Keep electrical appliances such as an electric fan, radio, high-powered speakers, air conditioner, and microwave oven away from your tablet because the strong magnetic ﬁelds generated by these appliances can damage the screen and the data on the tablet.

Be aware of heat generated by your tablet:

When your tablet is turned on or the battery is charging, some parts might become hot. The temperature that they reach depends on the amount of system activity and the level of charge in the battery. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause discomfort or even a skin burn. Avoid keeping your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in contact with a hot section of the tablet for any extended time.

Plastic bag notice

DANGER

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

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) cable and cord notice

Many personal computer products and accessories contain cords, cables or wires, such as power cords or cords to connect the accessory to a personal computer. If this product has such a cord, cable or wire, then the following warning applies:

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.
