devices, or transmitters) are installed, note the following:
Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser
product could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation.
There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not
view directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct
exposure to the beam.
Plastic bag notice
CAUTION:
Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from
babies and children to avoid danger of suffocation.
Rechargeable battery notice (for notebook
computers)
DANGER
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack.
Attempting to do so can cause an explosion, or liquid leakage
from the battery pack. A battery pack other than the one
specified by Lenovo, or a disassembled or modified battery pack
is not covered by the warranty.
If the rechargeable battery pack is incorrectly replaced, there is
danger of an explosion. The battery pack contains a small
amount of harmful substances. To avoid possible injury:
 Replace only with a battery of the type recommended by
Lenovo.
 Keep the battery pack away from fire.
 Do not expose it to water or rain.
 Do not attempt to disassemble it.
 Do not short-circuit it.
 Keep it away from children.
 Do not drop the battery pack.
Do not put the battery pack in trash that is disposed of in
landfills. When disposing of the battery, comply with local
ordinances or regulations.
The battery pack should be stored at room temperature, charged
to approximately 30 to 50% of capacity. We recommend that the
battery pack be charged about once per year to prevent
overdischarge.
Lithium coin cell battery notice
DANGER
Danger of explosion if battery is 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.

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.
