"IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS:

CONTENT IN DEVELOPMENT Intel wireless WiMAX adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship into. Because wireless WiMAX adapters are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless WiMAX EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure. For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless WiMAX adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products. Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless WiMAX adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."

March 2008 Back to Contents WiMAX Overview WiMAX is a next generation wireless network communications technology. WiMAX is similar to Wi-Fi, except that WiMAX provides high-speed, broadband access over a much larger area. For fixed WiMAX stations, the range of coverage encompasses several square miles. WiMAX networks also enjoy less interference than Wi-Fi. Notebook computers and Mobile Internet Devices enabled for WiMAX service can access the Internet nearly everywhere within the large coverage area, and in places where WiFi hotspots are not available. WiMAX enables mobile internet access. For example, you could be in a bus traveling across the city, and remain continuously connected to the internet. WiMAX will deliver Internet access speeds similar to DSL and cable connections, directly to your WiMAX enabled notebook computer or mobile Internet device. WiMAX Benefits WiMAX provides access to the Internet in far more places than current WiFi hotspots. WiMAX serves mobile users with a broader range of wireless coverage. High-speed connections provide access to richer content, more complex media and gaming experiences. WiMAX transmits broadband Internet connectivity into more of the places where you live, work, and play. Imagine broadband on the go, enabled by WiMAX:

l Video conferencing from the park. l Looking up the nearest local bookstore or getting directions to a restaurant while on the move. l Downloading movies while at the soccer field. l Streaming radio and television broadcasts off the Internet. l Staying productive on the road without searching for hotspots. l Engaging in a multi-player, three dimensional video battle, while on a train. Is WiMAX Available in your Area?

WiMAX is coming to cities and localities across the United States. To see if WiMAX is available near you, visit this site:

S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 2 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Explanation of hard disk capacity Dear user, While using your computer, you may find that the nominal hard disk capacity indicated is somewhat different from the disk capacity displayed by the operating system. For example, a nominal 40GB hard disk will appear as less than 40GB in the operating system. This discrepancy is not an error in hard disk installation nor any other problem, but a normal phenomenon of computers. This phenomenon is primarily due to the following reasons:

I. Different standards used by the manufacturer and operating system when calculating hard disk capacity Hard disk manufacturers use a radix of 1000, i.e., 1G = 1,000MB, 1MB =

1,000KB, 1KB = 1,000 bytes. However, when identifying hard disk capacity, operating systems use a radix of 1024, i.e., 1GB = 1,024MB, 1MB = 1,024KB, 1KB = 1,024 bytes. The standard adopted by your computer is that of the hard disk manufacturers. Since the standards adopted by the hard disk manufacturer and operating system are different, the hard disk capacity displayed by the operating system will be different from the nominal hard disk capacity. For example, if the hard disk is nominally X G, even when it is completely empty, the capacity displayed by the operating system will be:

X 1000 1000 1000/ (1024 1024 1024) X 0.931 G S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 3 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM In addition, if a portion of the hard disk space has been used for some specific purpose, then the capacity indicated by the operating system will be even less than X 0.931 G. II. A portion of the hard disk space is used for specific purposes Lenovo computers may come with preinstalled OneKey Rescue System, so the hard disk has a special portion partitioned before delivery, which is used to store hard disk mirror and OneKey Rescue System program files. The size of the reserved space for this partition varies according to the model, operating system and software of the computer. For the sake of safety, this partition is not apparent, which is commonly referred to as a hidden partition. In addition, after the hard disk is partitioned or formatted, the system will assign a certain amount of hard disk space for the system files. For the above reasons, the available hard disk space indicated by the operating system is always less than the computers nominal hard disk capacity.

Checking battery status You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by using Windows Power Options. Note: As each computer user has different habits and needs, it is difficult to predict how long a battery charge will last. There are two main factors:

The amount of energy stored in the battery when you commence work.

The way you use your computer: for example, how often you access the hard disk drive and how bright you make the computer display.

Charging the battery When you find that the battery power is low, you need to charge the battery or replace it with a fully charged one. The battery is charged when the AC adapter is connected to the computer and the battery is installed. Charging time will depend on the usage environment. You need to charge the battery in any of the following situations:

When you purchase a new battery

If the battery status indicator starts blinking

If the battery has not been used for a long time 11 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 12 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Chapter 2. Learning the basics Notes:

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 a 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 a 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 pre-installed software).

You can use the Restore to factory default feature to restore the system partition (C drive) back to the factory default, i.e., the state your computer was when you purchased it. However, once you restore to this state, you will not be able to restore the system to another previously backed up state. Therefore, make sure you back up any critical data stored on the system partition (C drive) to other media, such as another disk partition, CD/DVD discs or removable storage devices. 36 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 37 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM

Using Lenovo OneKey Recovery in Windows Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue System In Windows, you can create a backup of an entire system partition, saving it your local hard disk. You can back up your data to a CD, DVD, network drive or other removable disk. In addition, you can also create Windows recovery disc(s) to boot and recover your system. Create full backup There are two backup types that can be created: full backup and incremental backup. Selecting Full backup backs up your system partition to a folder on the hard disk in order to recover it in the future. The program will save the backed up data to the default location, i.e., to D:\Lenovo\OneKey App\OneKey Recovery. You may also select another destination, such as a removable storage device, network drive or a CD/

DVD. If you choose to back up the system partition to a disc (CD/DVD), the created discs can be used to recover your system to the current status. We suggest you do the following before you create recovery discs:

Use the latest version of your systems anti-virus software to scan your computer and make sure it is virus-free.

Optimize your system, including scanning and defragmenting your hard disk drive. Note: The backup process may take a long time, connect the AC adapter and battery pack to your computer. 37 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 38 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue System Create Incremental backup An incremental backup is a backup of your data based on previous backed up files located in the default path. This backup includes different data than the full backup, such as application variations and user data. Incremental backup can only be saved to the default path; it cannot be backed up to another location. Create recovery disc You can burn the backup image to CD/DVDs as recovery discs. The recovery discs can be used to boot up your computer automatically and restore your system back to previously backed up status. If your hard disk fails and you are unable to use Lenovo OneKey Recovery on your computer, you can use these discs to recover your system on a reformatted hard drive. Notes:

For the computers without an optical drive, an external optical drive is needed to backup or to create a recovery disc.

A full backup needs considerable storage space, be sure to have enough CDs/

DVDs in hand. Please make sure to create recovery discs, so that you can recover your system, even when replacing the hard drive.

After the recovery discs are burned, please number them so that you can use them in order.

When burning the recovery discs, please use good quality discs with to ensure the burning process and backed up data is complete and correct. 38 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 39 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue System

Using Lenovo OneKey Rescue System without the main Windows operating system In the event that the operating system cannot be loaded, you need to recover your system with the OneKey Rescue System, which includes several applications to help you detect and remove viruses, and recover Windows system and data.

All these features make Lenovo OneKey Rescue System an important utility for securing your data. will 39 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 40 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Chapter 4. OneKey Rescue System Restore of factory default In order to save application files and the initial backed up files of the system, the hard disk in a Lenovo PC includes a hidden partition when it is shipped. If you need to restore the system to the point of your first boot up, just enter the Lenovo OneKey Rescue System and run Restore to factory default. This will delete all the new data on the system partition

(C partition), which is not recoverable. Make sure to back up any critical data before you run this feature. Restore from backup If you want to recover the system to a previous status, you just need to enter Lenovo OneKey Rescue, and select Restore from users backup. Select the appropriate image file or, if you have run incremental backup before, you can use the incremental file to restore your system. The process above will remove all data on the current system partition

(C partition), which is not recoverable. Please back up any important data before restoring to a previous backup. Using recovery discs When you replace a hard disk drive in your computer, you will be unable to use the pre-installed Lenovo OneKey Recovery and OneKey Rescue System. However, you can use the recovery discs that store your backed up data to restore your new hard drive to a previous backup status. When you use the recovery discs to boot your computer, the system will enter the system recovery user interface automatically.

Though your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following these important tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer.

Be careful about where and how you work.

Do not eat or smoke over your keyboard. Particles that fall into your keyboard can cause damage.

Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the risk of suffocation from plastic bags.

Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones, electrical appliances, or speakers (within 13 cm or 5 in).

Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5C/

41F or above 35C/95F).

Some appliances, such as certain portable desktop fans or air purifiers, can produce negative ions. If a computer is close to such an appliance, and is exposed for an extended time to air containing negative ions, it may become electrostatically charged. Such a charge may be discharged through your hands when you touch the keyboard or other parts of the computer, or through connectors on I/O devices connected to it. Even though this kind of electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the opposite of a 69 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 70 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix B. Use, and care Information discharge from your body or clothing to the computer, it poses the same risk of a computer malfunction. Your computer is designed and manufactured to minimize any effects of electrostatic charge. An electrostatic charge above a certain limit, however, can increase the risk of ESD. Therefore, when using the computer close to an appliance that can produce negative ions, give special attention to the following:

- Avoid directly exposing your computer to the air from an appliance that can produce negative ions.

- Keep your computer and peripherals as far as possible from such an appliance.

- Wherever possible, ground your computer to facilitate safe electrostatic discharge.

Notice of static-electricity When you handle options or CRUs, or perform any work inside the computer, take the following precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:

- Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

- Always handle components carefully. Handle adapters, memory modules, and other circuit boards by the edges. Never touch exposed circuitry.

- Prevent others from touching components. 70 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 71 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix B. Use, and care Information

- When you install a static-sensitive option or CRU, touch the static-

protective package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity in the package and your body.

- Whenever possible, remove the static-sensitive part from the static-

protective packaging and install the part without setting it down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective packaging on a smooth, level surface and place the part on it.

- Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.

Be gentle with your computer

Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the keyboard or under the keyboard.

Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy objects on your computer, display, or external devices.

Avoid turning the display beyond 130.

Carry your computer properly

Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables.

Be sure your computer is in standby or hibernation mode, or turned off, before moving it. This will prevent damage to the hard disk drive and data loss. 71 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 72 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix B. Use, and care Information

When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick up or hold your computer by the display.

Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection. Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.

For outdoor use

Backup your critical data before you take your computer outdoors.

Ensure that the battery is full.

Be sure to turn off the power and close the LCD well.

When you leave the computer in your car, place it on the back seat to avoid being insolated.

Carry the AC adapter and power cord with the computer.

Handle storage media and drives properly

If your computer comes with an optical drive, do not touch the surface of a disc or the lens on the tray.

Wait until you hear the CD or DVD click into the center pivot of an optical drive before closing the tray.

When installing your hard disk, follow the instructions shipped with your hardware, and apply pressure only where needed on the device. 72 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 73 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix B. Use, and care Information

Data safety

Do not delete unknown files or change the name of files or directories that were not created by you; otherwise, your computer software might fail to work.

Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your computer vulnerable to computer viruses, hackers, spyware, and other malicious activities that might damage your computer, software, or data.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate protection in the form of firewalls, antivirus software, and anti-spyware software and keep this software up to date.

Take care in setting passwords

Remember your passwords. If you forget a supervisor or hard disk password, Lenovo authorized service providers will not reset it, and you might have to replace your system board or hard disk drive.

Other important tips

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 and your company's safety standards.

Your computer might have both an Ethernet connector and a modem connector. If so, be sure to connect your communication cable to the correct one, so your connector is not damaged. 73 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 74 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix B. Use, and care Information

Register your Lenovo products with Lenovo (refer to the Web page:

http://consumersupport.lenovo.com). This can help authorities return your computer to you if it is lost or stolen. Registering your computer also enables Lenovo to notify you about possible technical information and upgrades.

Only an authorized Lenovo repair technician should disassemble and repair your computer.

Do not modify or tape the latches to keep the display open or closed.

Take care not to turn your computer over while the AC adapter is plugged in. This could break the adapter plug.

Turn off your computer if you are replacing a device, or else verify that the device is warm- or hot-swappable.

Before you install any of the following devices, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action reduces any static electricity from your body. The static electricity could damage the device.

- ExpressCard

- Memory Card, such as SD Card, Memory Stick, MultiMediaCard, and Memory Stick Pro card.

- Memory module

When transferring data to or from a Flash Media Card, such as an SD card, do not put your computer in standby or hibernation mode before the data transfer is complete. To do so might cause damage to your data. 74 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 75 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix B.

Usage environment and your health Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card and Bluetooth Daughter Card emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy like other radio devices. However, the level of energy emitted is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Due to the fact that wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card and Bluetooth Daughter Card operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Lenovo believes the integrated wireless cards are safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and 103 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 104 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix E. Notices result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some situation or environment, the use of wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card or Bluetooth Daughter Card may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:

Using the integrated wireless cards on board of airplanes, or in hospitals

In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific organization (e.g., airport or hospital), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card or Bluetooth Daughter Card prior to turning on the computer.

Safety information related to Mobile Broadband 1 Do not use the Mobile Broadband feature on your computer in highly flammable areas (e.g. gas station) or near blasting. Though it is rare, the Mobile Broadband module, like other cellular network devices, could generate a spark. 2 Avoid using Mobile Broadband feature outdoors during a thunderstorm. 104 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 105 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix E. Notices 3 Use of mobile devices on board aircraft is explicitly prohibited by many airlines companies, especially during take-off and landing. The built-in Mobile Broadband module on your computer is a low-power radio transceiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy which could cause interference with the operation of the airplane communication or navigation system. Refer to rules or regulations of your airline company for Mobile Broadband use. Never enable Mobile Broadband feature on your computer unless you are explicitly permitted to do so. 4 Follow restrictions when using your computer in hospitals. Some equipments in hospitals are sophisticated and are susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Do not enable Mobile Broadband feature near medical equipment without requesting permission. 5 The Mobile Broadband communication may affect the operation of implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically implanted equipment. Patients with cardiac pacemakers should be well aware that use of Mobile Broadband feature on this computer may cause the implanted device to malfunction. If patients have any doubt that there is interference taking place, immediately disable the wireless radio on the computer and contact the doctor for more information. 6 The Mobile Broadband module embedded in your computer does not support voice calls, hence their use for essential communications is not possible. Therefore you should never rely upon the device for essential communications. 105 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 106 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix E.

As computers spread into every corner of life, they process more and more information. The data on your computer, some of it sensitive, is stored on a storage device called the hard disk. Before you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer, you need to delete that data. Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded software, such as operating systems and application software, may even violate License Agreements. You are advised to check the terms and conditions of those Agreements. Deleting the data from the hard disk is not easy. There are methods that seem to delete the data:

Move the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin command.

Use the Delete command. 117 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 118 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix E. Notices

Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.

Using the preinstalled recovery program, bring the hard disk back to factory-ship state. These operations, however, only change the file allocation of the data; they do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The data is still there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk that people of bad faith may read and misuse the critical data on hard disks for unexpected purposes. To prevent the leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take responsibility for deleting all the data from the hard disk when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the hard disk with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But we recommend that you make use of the software (payware) or service

(pay service) specifically developed for the purpose. 118 S10_2 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 119 Monday, April 13, 2009 9:34 PM Appendix F.
