Respective Users
Dear user,
Thank you for purchasing your new Lenovo notebook computer! Before using this product, make sure to read this user guide carefully.
We are pleased that you have chosen Lenovo for your mobile computing needs. To help you master the usage of your new computer quickly, we have prepared this user guide. In this manual you will find information on the system configuration, basic operating instructions, and important notices. We have done our best to avoid any errors in making sure that the information provided in this manual is accurate and reliable. However, due to the short length of the user guide it is impossible to cover all topics in great depth. For this reason, we apologize for any omissions you might find.
Lenovo is always trying to improve the performance and reliability of its products. For that reason, the hardware and software components shown within the user guide might not perfectly match those of your system.
However, any inconsistencies between what is described in the user guide and the operations of your computer should not substantially affect your use. Lenovo apologizes for any inconvenience that this issue might cause.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Explanation of hard disk capacity
Dear user,
While using your computer, you may find that the nominal hard disk capacity indicated is somewhat different from the disk capacity displayed by the operating system. For example, a nominal 40GB hard disk will appear as less than 40GB in the operating system. This discrepancy is not an error in hard disk installation nor any other problem, but a normal phenomenon of computers. This phenomenon is primarily due to the following reasons:
I.Different standards used by the manufacturer and operating system when calculating hard disk capacity
Hard disk manufacturers use a radix of 1000, i.e., 1G = 1,000MB, 1MB = 1,000KB, 1KB = 1,000 bytes. However, when identifying hard disk capacity, operating systems use a radix of 1024, i.e., 1GB = 1,024MB, 1MB = 1,024KB, 1KB = 1,024 bytes. The standard adopted by your computer is that of the hard disk manufacturers. Since the standards adopted by the hard disk manufacturer and operating system are different, the hard disk capacity displayed by the operating system will be different from the nominal hard disk capacity.
For example, if the hard disk is nominally X G, even when it is completely
empty, the capacity displayed by the operating system will be: X ?? 1000 ?? 1000 ?? 1000/ (1024 ?? 1024 ?? 1024) ??? X ?? 0.931 G
In addition, if a portion of the hard disk space has been used for some specific purpose, then the capacity indicated by the operating system will be even less than X ?? 0.931 G.
II.A portion of the hard disk space is used for specific purposes
Lenovo computers may come with preinstalled OneKey Rescue System, so the hard disk has a special portion partitioned before delivery, which is used to store hard disk mirror and OneKey Rescue System program files. The size of the reserved space for this partition varies according to the model, operating system and software of the computer. For the sake of safety, this partition is not apparent, which is commonly referred to as a ???hidden partition???.
In addition, after the hard disk is partitioned or formatted, the system will assign a certain amount of hard disk space for the system files.
For the above reasons, the available hard disk space indicated by the operating system is always less than the computer???s nominal hard disk capacity.

Appendix B. Use and care information
Caring for your computer
Though your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following these important tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer.
??Be careful about where and how you work.
???Do not eat or smoke over your keyboard. Particles that fall into your keyboard can cause damage.
???Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the risk of suffocation from plastic bags.
???Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones, electrical appliances, or speakers (within 13 cm or 5 in).
???Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5??C/ 41??F or above 35??C/95??F).
???For Notebooks with glossy display bezels the user should consider the placement of the Notebook as the bezel may cause disturbing reflections from surrounding light and bright surfaces.
???Some appliances, such as certain portable desktop fans or air purifiers, can produce negative ions. If a computer is close to such an appliance, and is exposed for an extended time to air containing negative ions, it may become electrostatically charged. Such a charge may be discharged through your hands when you touch the keyboard or other parts of the
69
Appendix B. Use and care information
computer, or through connectors on I/O devices connected to it. Even though this kind of electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the opposite of a discharge from your body or clothing to the computer, it poses the same risk of a computer malfunction.
Your computer is designed and manufactured to minimize any effects of electrostatic charge. An electrostatic charge above a certain limit, however, can increase the risk of ESD. Therefore, when using the computer close to an appliance that can produce negative ions, give special attention to the following:
-Avoid directly exposing your computer to the air from an appliance that can produce negative ions.
-Keep your computer and peripherals as far as possible from such an appliance.
-Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge.
??Notice of
When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer, take the following precautions to avoid
-Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

???When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your computer by the display.
???Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection. Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.
??For outdoor use
???Backup your critical data before you take your computer outdoors.
???Ensure that the battery is full.
???Be sure to turn off the power and close the LCD well.

Notice on deleting data from your hard
As computers spread into every corner of life, they process more and more information. The data on your computer, some of it sensitive, is stored on a storage device called the hard disk. Before you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer, you need to delete that data.
Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded software, such as operating systems and application software, may even violate License Agreements. You are advised to check the terms and conditions of those Agreements.
Deleting the data from the hard disk is not easy.
There are methods that seem to delete the data:
???Move the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin command.
???Use the Delete command.
122
Appendix E. Notices
???Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.
???Using the preinstalled recovery program, bring the hard disk back to
These operations, however, only change the file allocation of the data; they do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The data is still there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk that people of bad faith may read and misuse the critical data on hard disks for unexpected purposes.
To prevent the leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take responsibility for deleting all the data from the hard disk when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the hard disk with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But we recommend that you make use of the software (payware) or service (pay service) specifically developed for the purpose.
