							General safety guidelines 
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property 
damage. 
Service 
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the 
Customer Support Center. Use only a service provider who is approved to repair 
your particular product. 
Note:   Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are 
referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo expressly 
identifies CRUs as such, and provides documentation with instructions 
when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts. Yo u must closely 
follow all instructions when performing such replacements. Always make 
sure that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from 
any power source before you attempt the replacement. If you have any 
questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center. 
Power cords and power adapters 
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product 
manufacturer. 
Never wrap a power cord around the 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 the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your 
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 cord or power 
adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause gradual corrosion of 
the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the 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 and/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.

							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. 
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer 
to obtain a replacement. 
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. 
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully 
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 ThinkPad notebook PCs 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 Lenovo 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. 
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
