The CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive classification label (shown below) is located on the top of the drive. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT LASER KLASSE 1 xi LUOKAN 1 LASERLAITE APPAREIL A LASER DE CLASSE 1 KLASS 1 LASER APPARAT The CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of the Department of Health and Human Ser-
vices 21 Code of Federal Regulations (DHHS 21 CFR) Subchapter J for Class 1 laser products. In other countries, the drive is certified to conform to the require-
ments of EN60825. CAUTION:
Do not open the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive; no user adjust-
ments or serviceable parts are inside. Use of controls, adjustments, or the performance of procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Class 1 laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive has an internal, Class 1, 0.5-milliwatt, aluminum gallium-arsenide laser that operates at a wavelength of 760 to 810 nanometers. The design of the laser system and the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive ensures that there is no exposure to laser radiation above a Class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or servicing. Some drives contain an embedded Class 3A laser diode. Note this warning:
xii DANGER Emits visible and invisible laser radiation when open. Avoid direct eye exposure. Do not stare into the beam or view it directly with optical instruments. xiii xiv Handling the ThinkPad computer Notebook computers are precision electronic devices that require a bit of careful handling. Although your computer is designed and tested to be a durable notebook computer that functions reliably in normal work environments, you must handle it carefully. This section provides tips for handling notebook computers in general. Some descriptions might not suit your situation. Check your shipping checklist to confirm the items you get with your computer. By following these handling tips, you will get the most use and enjoy-
ment out of your computer for a long time to come. Refer to the Online User's Guide for more information. See Using your online user's guide on page 6. Copyright IBM Corporation 2000 xv ThinkPad do not's ThinkPad do not's xvi
Do not subject your computer to physical punishment, such as dropping or bumping.
Do not place heavy objects on your computer.
Do not spill or allow liquids into your computer.
Do not use your computer in or near water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock).
Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag. Your LCD might be damaged. Note: A scratchlike marking on your LCD might be a stain trans-
ferred from the keyboard or from the TrackPoint stick when the cover was pressed from the outside. Wipe such a stain gently with a dry soft cloth. If the stain remains, moisten the cloth with an LCD cleaner and wipe the stain again. Be sure to dry the LCD before closing it.

Do not use or store your computer where the temperature is below 5 C or above 35 C (41 F and 95 F). ThinkPad do not's
Do not place your computer closer than 13 cm (5 in.) to any electrical appliance that generates a strong magnetic field, such as a motor, a magnet, a TV, a refrigerator, or large audio speakers.
Do not put an operating cellular phone on the computer. The phone might cause malfunction in the computer system.
Do not hard-mount your computer in a vehicle or anywhere that it is subject to strong vibration.
Do not crush, drop, or physically punish the external or remov-
able hard disk, or diskette drive when it is outside your computer.
Do not press on the middle part of the diskette drive, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
Do not insert a diskette at an angle. Inserting the diskette into the drive in this way can damage the drive.
Do not attach more than one label to a diskette, and do not allow the label to come loose. Multiple or loose labels can detach or tear and then lodge in the drive.
Do not touch the lens on the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM tray.
Do not close the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM tray until you hear the CD or DVD click into the center pivot of the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
Do not touch the surface of a CD; handle the CD only by its edges.
Do not connect the modem to a PBX (private branch exchange) or other digital telephone extension line. Your computer can use only a public-switched telephone network (PSTN). Use of a phone line other than PSTN can damage your modem. If you are not sure which kind of phone line you are using, contact your telephone company. Many hotels or office buildings use digital telephone extension lines, so check before connecting the tele-
phone cable in such places.
Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an extended period when the com-
puter is functioning or when the battery is charging. Your com-
puter dissipates some heat during normal operation. This heat is a function of the level of system activity and battery charge level. xvii ThinkPad do not's Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause discomfort or, eventually, a skin burn. xviii ThinkPad do's ThinkPad do's Treat your computer like precision electronic machinery.

Prospective users will have to know the proper passwords in order to access your computer or data. You can set the following passwords on your computer:
Power-on password
Screen-saver password
Hard-disk password
Windows password
Setup password
Network password Power-on password You can set a power-on password to protect your computer against access by unauthorized users. If you set a power-on password, the password prompt appears on the screen when you turn on the computer. You must enter the correct password to start using the computer. Note:
If you forget your power-on password, you cannot reset it. You must take the computer to an IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative to have the password cancelled. Proof or pur-
chase is required, and an additional charge might be required for the service. To establish a power-on password, refer to the Online User's Guide. Screen-saver password You can set a screen-saver password. Once the screen saver has started, only those who know the password can exit the screen saver and resume operating the computer. Note: The screen-saver password does not thoroughly protect your computer from unauthorized users. An unauthorized user 10 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 User's Reference Using passwords could turn the computer off and then on to restart Windows without knowing your screen-saver password. To set a screen-saver password, refer to the Online User's Guide. Hard-disk password The hard disk password provides an extra measure of security. Even if you set a power-on password, another user can remove the hard disk drive in your computer and put it in a different computer to access your data. If you set a hard disk password, however, another person cannot access the data on your hard disk without knowing the password. It provides the following features:
You need to type the hard disk password at startup.
If the hard disk drive is moved to another computer, the hard disk password must be typed at startup. Therefore, unauthorized users cannot access your hard disk even if the drive is removed from the computer.
The hard disk password is required when the computer resumes from hibernation mode. Note:
If an incorrect hard disk password is entered three times, the system halts. Attention If you forget your hard disk password, you can no longer access the hard disk. The password cannot be reset and you will lose all data and files on the hard disk. To use the computer, you will need to replace the hard disk. This replacement will incur expenses for parts and labor. Windows password When you start your ThinkPad computer and the Windows operating system opens, Windows requireds you to enter a user ID and a password. To set a Windows password, refer to the Online User's Guide. Protecting your computer 11 Using passwords Setup password The setup password protects the system information stored in the BIOS Utility so that without knowing the password, nobody can change the configuration of the computer. Attention If you forget your setup password, you cannot reset it. You must take the computer to an IBM reseller or IBM marketing represen-
tative to have the password cancelled. Proof or purchase is required, and an additional charge might be required for the service. To establish a setup password, refer to the Online User's Guide. Network password If you work on a local area network (LAN) with your ThinkPad com-
puter, your LAN administrator may have set passwords to restrict access to various parts of the network. If you are authorized to access restricted areas of your LAN, you will need to establish network passwords in Windows. To establish your network password in Windows, refer to the Online User's Guide. 12 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 User's Reference Using locks Using locks You can attach a mechanical lock to your computer, to help prevent it from being removed without your permission. Attach a mechanical lock to the keyhole on the rear side of the com-
puter; then secure the chain on the lock to a secure stationary object. Refer to the instructions shipped with the mechanical lock. Note: You are responsible for evaluating, selecting, and imple-
menting the locking devices and security features you choose to use. IBM makes no comments, judgments, or warranties about the function, quality, or performance of locking devices and security features.

Troubleshooting Cause and action For Windows 98:
The generic CD-ROM or DVD-ROM driver for Windows 98 accesses the internal CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive every 3 seconds to see whether a CD-ROM is inserted there. This prevents your computer from entering standby mode even after a timeout. To enable the computer to enter standby mode, do the following:
1. Click Start. 2. Move the cursor to Settings and Control Panel. 3. Click Control Panel, and then double-click System. 4. Click the Device Manager tab. 5. Click the + mark of CD-ROM. 6. Double-click the name of the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. 7. Click the Settings tab. 8. Clear the Auto insert notification check box. When creating a hibernation file, Sleep Manager gives off a
"Not Enough Space for Allocation" message. Windows 98 no longer detects the insertion of a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM automat-
ically. Sleep Manager needs enough, contiguous hard disk drive space to create and manage the hibernation file. Make sure the hard disk drive space is sufficient for Sleep Manager's require-
ments. This can be viewed from the Sleep Manager main screen. If there are still problems, there might not be enough contiguous free space to create the hibernation file. Use a disk defragementation utility to solve the problem. Note: Sleep Manager is available only in Windows 98.

The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term
"Machine" means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term "Machine" does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or oth-
erwise. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller. Machine - IBM ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 and the Battery Warranty Period* - One Year
*Elements and accessories are warranted for three months. Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some IBM Machines are eligible for On-site warranty service depending on the country where service is performed. The IBM Warranty for Machines IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Spec-
ifications. The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise. Copyright IBM Corporation 2000 43 During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will provide repair and exchange service for the Machine, without charge, under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine. If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order. Extent of Warranty The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts identification labels. THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE 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. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURIS-
DICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLU-
SION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD. Items Not Covered by Warranty IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine. 44 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 User's Reference Unless specified otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under war-
ranty, such as assistance via telephone with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. Warranty Service To obtain warranty service for the Machine, contact your reseller or IBM. You may be required to present proof of purchase. IBM or your reseller provides certain types of repair and exchange service, either at your location or at a service center, to keep Machines in, or restore them to, conformance with their Specifica-
tions. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the available types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. IBM may repair the failing Machine or exchange it at its discretion. When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must be installed on a Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-
change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part. Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. You also agree to Appendix A. Product warranty and notices 45 1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and 3. where applicable, before service is provided a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that IBM or your reseller pro-
vides, b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine, c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obli-
gations, and d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's location. IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM's possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges. Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confiden-
tial, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return. Production Status Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine's pro-
duction status, IBM's appropriate warranty terms apply. Limitation of Liability Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), IBM is liable for no more than 46 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 User's Reference 1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property; and 2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the greater of U.S. $100,000 (or equivalent in local currency) or the charges
(if recurring, 12 months' charges apply) for the Machine that is the subject of the claim. This limit also applies to IBM's suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDI-
RECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSE-
QUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLU-
SION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. Statement of Warranty Part 2 - Country-unique Terms ASIA PACIFIC AUSTRALIA: The IBM Warranty for Machines: The following para-

Your ThinkPad (R) computer comes with a built-in wireless networking card and Client Manager software to help you make wireless connections and monitor your connection status. Wireless networking setup Wireless LAN range Checking connection status Wireless networking setup Before you communicate using the built-in wireless networking card (the 802.11b standard), you need to take a moment to set up a configuration profile. To set up your configuration profile, do the following:
1. Open the Client Manager program by double-clicking the Client Manager icon on your desktop or by clicking Start --> Programs --> IBM Wireless LAN --> Client Manager. 2. The first time you open the Client Manager tool the Add/Edit Configuration Profile window will open. Within the Add/Edit Configuration window you can create up to four network configuration profiles to use in your office, on the road, or at home. 3. Within the Add/Edit Configuration window, click the button next to the default Configuration Profile. You can customize the name of the profile by deleting the word default and typing your preferred profile name in the text box. 4. From the drop-down menu, select the type of configuration that you would like to use with that profile. You can choose from one of the following configuration types:
e Access Point: Enables you to make a wireless connection to a defined network, at work or while traveling. e Residential Gateway: Enables you to set up a simple wireless connection at home using a residential gateway and your Internet Service Provider (ISP). e Peer-to-Peer Group: Enables you to wirelessly communicate with other computers to form a small workgroup. 5. After selecting a configuration, click Edit Profile to edit the selected profile. Click the Basic tab of the Edit Configuration window. Enter a network name. If applicable, enter your encryption information by clicking the Encryption tab or typing in the field provided. 7. Close both windows by clicking OK.

PCs are at desktop level. 3in a closed office environment, work space is separated by floor-to-ceiling brick walls. The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit rate may travel large distances. ote: The range values listed in the table are typical distances as measured at the IBM High-
Rate Wireless LAN laboratories. These values may vary according to the actual radio conditions at the location where the PC will be installed. e The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the PCs are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. e Range is also impacted due to obstacles in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.
