notice

DANGER

Do not attempt to replace the
internal rechargeable or lithium
coin-cell batteries. Contact Lenovo
Support for factory replacement.

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

Store products containing built-in
rechargeable battery at room temperature,
charged to approximately 30 to 50% of
capacity. We recommend that the battery
be charged about once per year to prevent
over discharge.

incorrectly replaced.

When replacing the lithium coin-cell battery,
use only the same or an equivalent type
that is recommended by the manufacturer.
The battery contains lithium and can
explode if not properly used, handled, or
disposed of.

Do not:
• Throw or immerse into water

ate

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) cable
and cord notice

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.

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