You can choose between standard, super silent, or efficient thermal dissipation mode. You can also activate the dust cleaning feature by pressing and releasing the thermal control button. Standard mode Standard mode is the factory default mode. It is the recommended work mode for most programs. Super silent mode If your computer is not running large programs and you want a silent work environment, switch your computer to super silent mode. To switch to super silent mode, repeatedly press the thermal management button until highlighted. The computer will switch to super silent mode after three seconds. is Note: The heat dissipation fan spins at relatively low speeds in super silent mode, and thus dissipates less heat than in other modes. If large programs are running, the system may lower the voltage of the CPU (central processing unit) automatically to decrease the heat produced by the CPU. Consequently, you might experience lower system performance when the computer is running in super silent mode. Efficient thermal dissipation mode If large programs are running, switch your computer to efficient thermal dissipation mode to allow more efficient thermal dissipation. To switch to efficient thermal dissipation mode, repeatedly press the thermal management button until is highlighted. 21 Chapter 2.

Introduction The Lenovo OneKey Rescue system is an easy-to-use program that can be used to back up the data on your system partition (C drive) for easy restore when required. You can run Lenovo OneKey Recovery under the Windows operating system, and the OneKey Rescue system without starting the Windows operating system. Attention:
In order to utilize the features of the OneKey Rescue system, your hard disk already includes a hidden partition by default to store the system image file and OneKey Rescue system program files. This default partition is hidden for security reasons and is the reason the available disk space is less than it claims. The exact available hard disk space depends on the file size of the mirror image file (based on the size of operating system and preinstalled software).
Using Lenovo OneKey Recovery (within Windows operating system) In Windows operating system, double click the OneKey Recovery system Icon on the desktop to launch Lenovo OneKey Recovery. Within the program, you can back up the system partition on the hard disk drive, other storage devices, or by creating recovery discs. Notes:
The backup process and creation of recovery discs may take some time, connect the AC adapter and battery pack to your computer.
After the recovery discs are burned, please number them so that you can use them in the correct order.
Computers without an integrated optical drive support the creation of recovery discs;
however an appropriate external optical drive is needed to physically create the recovery discs. For more instructions, see the Help file of Lenovo OneKey Recov-
ery. 30 Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue system
Using Lenovo OneKey Rescue system (without Windows operating system) In the event that the operating system cannot be loaded, follow the steps below to access OneKey Rescue system. Shut down your computer. Press the key to launch OneKey Rescue system. Within the program, you can choose to restore your system partition to the original factory status, or to a previously generated backup. Note: The recovery process is irreversible. Make sure to back up any critical data before using the recovery feature.
Creating a recovery disc(s) Your computer does not ship with a recovery disc. You can use Lenovo OneKey Recovery system to create a recovery disc(s), which can be used to start and restore your computer in case of a system failure. To create a recovery disc(s):
Insert a recordable disc into the optical drive on your computer. Note: If your computer does not come with an integrated optical drive or if the integrated optical drive does not support disc creating, connect an appropriate external optical drive to your computer. In Windows, press the OneKey Rescue system button to launch Lenovo OneKey Recovery system. On the main screen, click Create Recovery Disc. Choose the type of recovery disc(s). You can create three types of recovery disc(s): recovery disc(s) with existing backup image, recovery disc(s) from the current system partition, and factory default recovery disc(s). Select the type of recovery disc you want to create and follow the on-screen instructions. Insert additional recordable disc(s) when prompted. 31 Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue system Notes:
The estimated number of discs needed will be displayed before the process of creating the recovery disc(s) begins. To minimize the number of discs needed, use recordable DVDs as the media. Also make sure your optical drive is compatible with the disc intended for use.
After recovery disc creation, number the discs appropriately for use in their correct order. The first disc created will be used to start the computer in the case of a system failure. 32 Chapter 5.

Introduction The Lenovo OneKey Rescue system is an easy-to-use application that can be used to back up the data on your system partition (C drive) for easy restore when required. You can run Lenovo OneKey Recovery under the Windows operating system, and the OneKey Rescue system without starting the Windows operating system.
Attention:
In order to utilize the features of the OneKey Rescue system, your hard disk already includes a hidden partition by default to store the system image file and OneKey Rescue system program files. This default partition is hidden for security reasons and is the reason the available disk space is less than it claims. The exact available hard disk space depends on the file size of the mirror image file (based on the size of operating system and preinstalled software).
Using Lenovo OneKey Recovery (within Windows operating system) In Windows operating system, double click the OneKey Recovery system Icon on the desktop to launch Lenovo OneKey Recovery. Within the program, you can back up the system partition on the hard disk drive, other storage devices, or by creating recovery discs. Notes:
The backup process and creation of recovery discs may take some time, connect the AC adapter and battery pack to your computer.
After the recovery discs are burned, please number them so that you can use them in the correct order.
Computers without an integrated optical drive support the creation of recovery discs; however an appropriate external optical drive is needed to physically create the recovery discs. For more instructions, see the Help file of Lenovo OneKey Recovery.

Note: The recovery process is irreversible. Make sure to back up any critical data before using the recovery feature. 25 Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue system
Creating a recovery disc(s) Your computer does not ship with a recovery disc. You can use Lenovo OneKey Recovery system to create a recovery disc(s), which can be used to start and restore your computer in case of a system failure. To create a recovery disc(s):
Insert a recordable disc into the optical drive on your computer. Note: If your computer does not come with an integrated optical drive or if the integrated optical drive does not support disc creating, connect an appropriate external optical drive to your computer.
In Windows, press the OneKey Rescue system button to launch Lenovo OneKey Recovery system.
On the main screen, click Create Recovery Disc.
Choose the type of recovery disc(s). You can create three types of recovery disc(s): recovery disc(s) with existing backup image, recovery disc(s) from the current system partition, and factory default recovery disc(s). Select the type of recovery disc you want to create and follow the on-screen instructions.
Insert additional recordable disc(s) when prompted. Notes:
The estimated number of discs needed will be displayed before the process of creating the recovery disc(s) begins. To minimize the number of discs needed, use recordable DVDs as the media. Also make sure your optical drive is compatible with the disc intended for use.
After recovery disc creation, number the discs appropriately for use in their correct order. The first disc created will be used to start the computer in the case of a system failure. 26 Chapter 5.

To switch to super silent mode, repeatedly press the thermal management button until highlighted. The computer will switch to super silent mode after three seconds. is Note: The heat dissipation fan spins at relatively low speeds in super silent mode, and thus dissipates less heat than in other modes. If large programs are running, the system may lower the voltage of the CPU (central processing unit) automatically to decrease the heat produced by the CPU. Consequently, you might experience lower system performance when the computer is running in super silent mode.
Efficient thermal dissipation mode If large programs are running, switch your computer to efficient thermal dissipation mode to allow more efficient thermal dissipation. To switch to efficient thermal dissipation mode, repeatedly press the thermal management button until is highlighted. 21 Chapter 2. Learning the basics
Performing dust cleaning Dust tends to accumulate around the heat sink of the computers CPU over time, reducing the dissipation capability of the heat sink. You can reduce the amount of accumulated dust by performing dust cleaning. To perform dust cleaning, repeatedly press the thermal management button until highlighted. Dust cleaning will start after three seconds. When dust cleaning is activated, the heat dissipation fan spins at high and low speed alternatively to allow dust to be discharged. A complete dust cleaning process takes several minutes to complete. You can cancel the process at any time by switching the computer to standard, super silent or efficient thermal dissipation mode. Upon completion, the computer returns to the previous mode when dust cleaning was activated. is Note: We recommend you perform dust cleaning at least once a month to reduce the amount of dust accumulation around the heat sink. Place your computer in a clean environment with good ventilation when performing dust cleaning. 22 Chapter 2.

Introduction The Lenovo OneKey Rescue system is an easy-to-use program that can be used to back up the data on your system partition (C drive) for easy restore when required. You can run Lenovo OneKey Recovery under the Windows operating system, and the OneKey Rescue system without starting the Windows operating system. Attention:
In order to utilize the features of the OneKey Rescue system, your hard disk already includes a hidden partition by default to store the system image file and OneKey Rescue system program files. This default partition is hidden for security reasons and is the reason the available disk space is less than it claims. The exact available hard disk space depends on the file size of the mirror image file (based on the size of operating system and preinstalled software).
Using Lenovo OneKey Recovery (within Windows operating system) In Windows operating system, double click the OneKey Recovery system Icon on the desktop to launch Lenovo OneKey Recovery. Within the program, you can back up the system partition on the hard disk drive, other storage devices, or by creating recovery discs. Notes:
The backup process and creation of recovery discs may take some time, connect the AC adapter and battery pack to your computer. After the recovery discs are burned, please number them so that you can use them in the correct order. Computers without an integrated optical drive support the creation of recovery discs;
however an appropriate external optical drive is needed to physically create the recovery discs. For more instructions, see the Help file of Lenovo OneKey Recov-
ery. 30 Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue system

Shut down your computer.
Press the key to launch OneKey Rescue system. Within the program, you can choose to restore your system partition to the original factory status, or to a previously generated backup. Note: The recovery process is irreversible. Make sure to back up any critical data before using the recovery feature.
Creating a recovery disc(s) Your computer does not ship with a recovery disc. You can use Lenovo OneKey Recovery system to create a recovery disc(s), which can be used to start and restore your computer in case of a system failure. To create a recovery disc(s):
Insert a recordable disc into the optical drive on your computer. Note: If your computer does not come with an integrated optical drive or if the integrated optical drive does not support disc creating, connect an appropriate external optical drive to your computer.
In Windows, press the OneKey Rescue system button to launch Lenovo OneKey Recovery system.
On the main screen, click Create Recovery Disc.
Choose the type of recovery disc(s). You can create three types of recovery disc(s): recovery disc(s) with existing backup image, recovery disc(s) from the current system partition, and factory default recovery disc(s). Select the type of recovery disc you want to create and follow the on-screen instructions.
Insert additional recordable disc(s) when prompted. 31 Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue system Notes:
The estimated number of discs needed will be displayed before the process of creating the recovery disc(s) begins. To minimize the number of discs needed, use recordable DVDs as the media. Also make sure your optical drive is compatible with the disc intended for use. After recovery disc creation, number the discs appropriately for use in their correct order. The first disc created will be used to start the computer in the case of a system failure. 32 Chapter 5.

Lenovo limited warranty L505-0010-01 04/2008 P/N: XXXXXXXXX Printed in China This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo branded hardware products you purchased for your own use and not for resale. This Lenovo Limited Warranty is available in other languages at www.lenovo.com/warranty.
What this warranty covers Lenovo warrants that each hardware product that you purchase is free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use during the warranty period. The warranty period for the product starts on the original date of purchase specified on your sales receipt or invoice unless Lenovo informs you otherwise in writing. The warranty period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are designated below under the section titled Warranty information. THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW AND ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON DURATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
How to obtain warranty service If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain warranty service by contacting Lenovo or an approved service provider. Each of them is referred to as a Service Provider. A list of Service Providers and their telephone numbers is available at www.lenovo.com/support/phone. 1 Lenovo limited warranty Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from location to location. Charges may apply outside a Service Providers normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for location-specific information.
What your service provider will do to correct problems When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem determination and resolution procedures specified. Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over the telephone, e-mail or through remote assistance. Your Service Provider may direct you to download and install designated software updates. Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you can install yourself called a Customer Replaceable Unit or CRU. If so, your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you to install. If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through your application of software updates or the installation of a CRU by you, your Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service designated for the product under the section titled Warranty information. If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, your Service Provider will replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, your sole remedy is to return the product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo for a refund of your purchase price.
Replacement of a product or part When the warranty service involves the replacement of a product or part, the replaced product or part becomes Lenovos property and the replacement product or part becomes your property. Only unaltered Lenovo products and parts are eligible for replacement. The replacement product or part provided by Lenovo may not be new, but it will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the original product or part. The replacement product or part shall be warranted for the balance of the period remaining on the original product. Before your Service Provider replaces a product or part, you agree to:
2 Lenovo limited warranty 1 remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service;
2 ensure that the product or part is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its replacement; and 3 obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a product or part if you do not own it.
Your additional responsibilities Where applicable, before service is provided, you agree to:
1 follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider specifies;
2 backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;
3 provide your Service Provider with all system keys or passwords and sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to perform service; and 4 ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals
(Personal Data) is deleted from the product or that, with respect to any Personal Data that you did not delete, you are in compliance with all applicable laws.
Use of personal information If you obtain service under this warranty, Lenovo will store, use and process information about your warranty service and your contact information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail address. Lenovo will use this information to perform service under this warranty and to improve our business relationship with you. We may contact you to inquire about your satisfaction regarding our warranty service or to notify you about any product recalls or safety issues. In accomplishing these purposes, we may transfer your information to any country where we do business and may provide it to entities acting on our behalf. We may also disclose it where required by law.
What this warranty does not cover This warranty does not cover the following:
uninterrupted or error-free operation of a product;
loss of, or damage to, your data;
any software programs, whether provided with the product or installed subsequently;
3 Lenovo limited warranty
failure or damage resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, natural disasters, power surges, or improper maintenance by you;
damage caused by a non-authorized service provider;
failure of, or damage caused by, any third party products, including those that Lenovo may provide or integrate into the Lenovo product at your request; and
any technical or other support, such as assistance with how-to questions and those regarding product set-up and installation. This warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the product or its parts.
Limitation of liability Lenovo is responsible for loss or damage to your product only while it is: 1) in your Service Providers possession; or 2) in transit in those cases where the Service Provider is responsible for the transportation. Neither Lenovo nor your Service Provider is responsible for any of your data including confidential, proprietary, or personal data contained in a product. You should remove and/or backup all such information from the product prior to its service or return. Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Lenovos part or other liability, you may be entitled to recover damages from Lenovo. In each such instance, regardless of the basis of your claim against Lenovo (including breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), except and to the extent that liability cannot be waived or limited by applicable laws, Lenovo shall not be liable for more than the amount of actual direct damages suffered by you, up to the amount you paid for the product. This limit does not apply to damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property or tangible personal property for which Lenovo is liable under law. This limit also applies to Lenovos suppliers, resellers, and your Service Provider. It is the maximum amount for which Lenovo, its suppliers, resellers, and your Service Provider are collectively responsible. 4 Lenovo limited warranty UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LENOVO, ITS SUPPLIERS, RESELLERS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES; 2) LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS REVENUE, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS. AS SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Any award shall be in writing and set forth the findings of fact and the conclusions of law. All arbitration proceedings, including all documents presented in such proceedings, shall be conducted in the English language, and the English language version of this warranty prevails over any other language version in such proceedings.
Other rights THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE LAW OR WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH LENOVO. NOTHING IN THIS WARRANTY AFFECTS STATUTORY RIGHTS, INCLUDING RIGHTS OF CONSUMERS UNDER NATIONAL LEGISLATION GOVERNING THE SALE OF CONSUMER GOODS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED OR LIMITED BY CONTRACT. 5 Lenovo limited warranty

Types of warranty service 1 Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) Service 7 Lenovo limited warranty Under CRU Service, your Service Provider will ship CRUs to you for installation by you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon request. CRUs that are easily installed by you are called Self-service CRUs, while Optional-service CRUs may require some technical skill and tools. Installation of Self-service CRUs is your responsibility. You may request that a Service Provider install Optional-service CRUs under one of the other types of warranty service designated for your product. An optional service offering may be available for purchase from Lenovo to have Lenovo install Self-service CRUs for you. You may find a list of CRUs and their designation in the publication that ships with your product or at www.lenovo.com/
CRUs. The requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU. When return is required: 1) return instructions, a prepaid return shipping label, and a container will be included with the replacement CRU; and 2) you may be charged for the replacement CRU if your Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement. 2 On-site Service Under On-Site Service, your Service Provider will either repair or exchange the product at your location. You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the Lenovo product. For some products, certain repairs may require your Service Provider to send the product to a designated service center. 3 Courier or Depot Service Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated service center, with shipping arranged by your Service Provider. You are responsible for disconnecting the product. A shipping container will be provided to you for you to return your product to a designated service center. A courier will pick up your product and deliver it to the designated service center. Following its repair or exchange, the service center will arrange the return delivery of the product to you. 8 Lenovo limited warranty 4 Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service Under Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated service center, with delivery or shipping arranged by you. You are responsible to deliver or mail, as your Service Provider specifies, (prepaid by you unless specified otherwise) the product, suitably packaged to a designated location. After the product has been repaired or exchanged, it will be made available for your collection. Failure to collect the product may result in your Service Provider disposing of the product as it sees fit. For Mail-in Service, the product will be returned to you at Lenovos expense, unless your Service Provider specifies otherwise. 5 Product Exchange Service Under Product Exchange Service, Lenovo will ship a replacement product to your location. You are responsible for its installation and verification of its operation. The replacement product becomes your property in exchange for the failed product, which becomes the property of Lenovo. You must pack the failed product in the shipping carton used to ship the replacement product and return it to Lenovo. Transportation charges, both ways, are paid by Lenovo. Failure to use the carton in which the replacement product was received may result in your responsibility for damage to the failed product during shipment. You may be charged for the replacement product if Lenovo does not receive the failed product within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement product. 9 Product specific Notices The notices in this appendix are specific to the products with the given MT numbers.
