Important safety information
Note
Please read important safety information first.
This information can help you safely use your ThinkPad computer. Follow
and retain all information included with your ThinkPad computer. The
information in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase
agreement or the Lenovo Statement of Limited Warranty.
Customer safety is important to Lenovo. Our products are developed to be
safe and effective. However, personal computers are electronic devices. 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 mobile personal computers, Lenovo ships some products (such as
speakers or monitors) with external power adapters. If you have such a
product, this information applies to your product. In addition, your computer
product may contain a coin-sized internal battery that provides power to your
system clock even when the machine is unplugged, so the battery safety
information applies to all computers.
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 servicer.
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 machine. 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.
