Safety information

Safety inspection guide

The purpose of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potential

unsafe conditions. As each machine was designed and built, required safety

items were installed to protect users and service personnel from injury. This

guide addresses only those items. You should use good judgment to identify

potential safety hazards according to the attachment of non-Lenovo IdeaTab

features or options not covered by this inspection guide.

If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the

apparent hazard could be and whether you can continue without first correcting

the problem.

Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:

Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame

can cause serious or fatal electrical shock)
Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor

Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware

To determine whether there are any potential unsafe conditions, use the

following checklist at the beginning of every service task. Begin the checks with

the power off, and the power cord disconnected.

Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
2. Turn off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
3. Check the power cord for:

a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition. Use a meter to measure

third-wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external

ground pin and the frame ground.

b. The power cord should be the type specified in the parts list.
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.

4. Check for cracked or bulging batteries.
5. Remove the cover.
6. Check for any obvious non-Lenovo IdeaTab alterations. Use good judgment

as to the safety of any non-Lenovo IdeaTab alterations.

7. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal

filings, contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke

damage.

8. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
9. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not

been removed or tampered with.
