Read this rst
Be sure to follow the important tips given here to get the most use and enjoyment out of your tablet. Failure
to do so might lead to discomfort or injury, or cause your tablet to fail.
Important safety and handling information
To avoid personal injury, property damage, or accidental damage to your ThinkPad
®
Tablet (hereafter
referred to as the tablet), read all of the information in this section before using it.
For detailed operating instructions, refer to the ThinkPad Tablet User Guide (this publication). You can
access the ThinkPad Tablet User Guide by using one of the following methods:
Go to http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadUserGuides and follow the instructions on the screen.
Start your tablet. Touch the applications icon
on the Home screen to go to the applications
page. Then, touch the User Guide icon.
For additional tips to help you operate your tablet safely, go to:
http://www.lenovo.com/safety
Handle your tablet with care:
Do not drop, bend, puncture, insert foreign objects, or place heavy objects on your tablet. Sensitive
components inside might become damaged.
Your tablet screen is made of glass. The glass might break if the tablet is dropped on a hard surface, is
the subject of a high impact, or is crushed by a heavy object. If the glass chips or cracks, do not touch
the broken glass or attempt to remove it from the tablet. Stop using the tablet immediately and contact
Lenovo
®
technical support for repair, replacement, or disposal information.
Do not disassemble or modify your tablet:
Your tablet is a sealed unit. There are no end-user serviceable parts inside. All internal repairs must be done
by a Lenovo-authorized repair facility or a Lenovo-authorized technician. Attempting to open or modify your
tablet will void the warranty.
Do not attempt to replace the internal battery:
Replacement of the internal rechargeable battery must be done by a Lenovo-authorized repair facility or a
Lenovo-authorized technician. Lenovo-authorized repair facilities or technicians recycle Lenovo batteries
according to local laws and regulations.
Prevent your tablet and charger from getting wet:
Do not immerse your tablet in water or leave it in a location where it can get saturated with water
or other liquids.
Do not use the ThinkPad Tablet AC Charger outdoors.
Use approved charging methods only:
You can use any of the following charging methods to safely recharge the internal battery of your tablet:

complies with the USB 2.0 standards
(slowest charging method)
Might not charge due to USB 2.0
power limits.
If the power consumption of the tablet
exceeds USB 2.0 power limits, the

Charging devices might become warm during normal use. Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around
the charging device. Unplug the charging device if any of the following occurs:
The charging device has been exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.
The charging device shows signs of physical damage.
You want to clean the charging device.
Lenovo is not responsible for the performance or safety of products not manufactured or approved by
Lenovo.
Prevent hearing damage:
Your tablet has a headphone connector. Always use the headphone connector for headphones (also called a
headset) 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 specications of EN 50332-2.
The headphone output connector of your tablet complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specication
limits the tablet'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) for 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 tablet came with headphones or earphones in the package, as a set, the combination of the
headphones or earphones and the tablet already complies with the specications 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.
iv User Guide
Take care when using your tablet in a motor vehicle or on a bicycle:
Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Follow the law. Local laws and regulations might
govern how you can use mobile electronic devices, such as your tablet, while you drive a motor vehicle
or ride a bicycle.
Dispose according to local laws and regulations:
When your tablet reaches the end of its useful life, do not crush, incinerate, immerse in water, or dispose of
your tablet in any manner contrary to local laws and regulations. Some internal parts contain substances
that can explode, leak, or have an adverse environmental affect if disposed of incorrectly.
See Appendix B “Environmental, recycling, and disposal information” on page 83 for additional information.
Keep your tablet and accessories away from small children:
Your tablet contains small parts that can be a choking hazard to small children. Additionally, the glass screen
can break or crack if dropped on or thrown against a hard surface.
Protect your data and software:
Do not delete unknown les or change the name of les or directories that were not created by you;
otherwise, your tablet software might fail to work.
Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your tablet vulnerable to computer viruses, hackers,
spyware, and other malicious activities that might damage your tablet, software, or data. It is your
responsibility to ensure that you have adequate protection in the form of rewalls, antivirus software, and
anti-spyware software and keep this software up to date.
Keep electrical appliances such as an electric fan, radio, high-powered speakers, air conditioner, and
microwave oven away from your tablet because the strong magnetic elds generated by these appliances
can damage the screen and the data on the tablet.
Take precautions with plastic bags:
DANGER
Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and children to avoid danger
of suffocation.
Be aware of heat generated by your tablet:
When your tablet is turned on or the battery is charging, some parts might become hot. The temperature
that they reach depends on the amount of system activity and the level of charge in the battery. Extended
contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause discomfort or even a skin burn. Avoid keeping
your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in contact with a hot section of the tablet for any
extended time.
