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.
