the
surface
around
the

v
Disposal
of
waste
may
be
regulated
under
applicable
environmental
laws
due
to
the
presence
of
mercury.
Dispose
of
these
materials
as
required
by
local
ordinances
and
regulations.

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.
You
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.
