Important safety information

Note

Please read important safety information first.

This information can help you safely use your ThinkCentre

or ThinkPad

personal computer. Follow and retain all information included with your

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. 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 asafer computer work

environment.

Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In

addition to mobile personal computers, some products (such as speakers

and monitors) ship with external power adapters. If you have such a

product, this information applies to your product. In addition, your

computer product may contain acoin-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 apuff 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 asafe and controlled manner. Or,

they might indicate apotential safety issue. However, do not take risks or

attempt to diagnose the situation yourself.

©Copyright Lenovo 2005. ©Portions Copyright IBM Corp. 2005. v

Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage or wear or

signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a

component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer Support Center or

the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product and

have it repaired, if necessary. For alist of Service and Support phone

numbers, see “Worldwide telephone list” on page 57.

In the unlikely event that you notice any of the conditions listed below, or if

you have any safety concerns with your product, stop using the product and

unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until you can

speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.

vPower cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or

power supplies that are cracked, broken or damaged.

vSigns of overheating, smoke, sparks or fire.

vDamage to abattery (such as cracks, dents, creases), discharge from a

battery, or abuildup of foreign substances on the battery.

vAcracking, hissing or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the

product.

vSigns that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer

product, the power cord or power adapter.

vThe computer product, the power cord or power adapter has been exposed

to water.

vThe product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

vThe product does not operate normally when you follow the operating

instructions.

Note: If you notice these conditions with aproduct (such as an extension cord)

that is not manufactured for or by Lenovo, stop using that product until

you can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions, or

until you get asuitable replacement.

General safety guidelines

Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and

property damage.

Service

Do not attempt to service aproduct yourself unless instructed to do so by the

Customer Support Center. Use only aservice 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.

Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord has

been disconnected, the following warnings are required for proper UL

certification.

Danger

Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.

Attention

Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to

five minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.

Power cords and power adapters

Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product

manufacturer.

Never wrap apower 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 asafety hazard.

Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or

pinched by objects.

Important safety information vii

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 ashort 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 areceptacle (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 aqualified electrician.

Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the

manufacturer to obtain areplacement.

Some products are equipped with athree-pronged plug. This plug fits only

into agrounded electrical outlet. This is asafety feature. Do not defeat this

safety feature by trying to insert it into anon-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.
