* Only for the users from the United States. S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 1 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM ENERGY STAR model information ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy aimed at saving money and protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. Lenovo is proud to offer our customers products with an ENERGY STAR compliant designation. Lenovo computers of the following machine types, if the ENERGY STAR mark is affixed, have been designed and tested to conform to the ENERGY STAR 4.0 program requirements for computers. 20013, 20015 4067, 4231 By using ENERGY STAR compliant products and taking advantage of the power-management features of your computer, you reduce the consumption of electricity. Reduced electrical consumption contributes to potential financial savings, a cleaner environment, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 2 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM For more information about ENERGY STAR, visit http://www.energystar.gov. Lenovo encourages you to make efficient use of energy an integral part of your day-to-day operations. To help in this endeavor, Lenovo has preset the following power-management features to take effect when your computer has been inactive for a specified duration:
Table 1. ENERGY STAR power-management features, by operating system Windows XP Turn off monitor: After 10 minutes Turn off hard disks: After 30 minutes System standby: After 20 minutes System hibernates: After 2 hours To awaken your computer from a Sleep or System Standby mode, press any key on your keyboard. For more information about these settings, refer to your Windows Help and Support information system. S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 3 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Explanation of Hard Disk Capacity Dear user, While using your computer, you may discover that the nominal hard disk capacity indicated is somewhat different from the disk capacity displayed by the operating system. For example, a nominal 80GB hard disk will appear as less than 80GB 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 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 4 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM 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 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 evident, 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.

When you need to use your computer away from electrical outlets, you depend on battery power to keep your computer running. Different computer components consume power at different rates. The more you use the power-intensive components, the faster you consume battery power.
Your Computer Batteries Note:
Your computer batteries enable you to do more, save more, and spend more time unplugged. Mobility has revolutionized business by enabling you to take your work wherever you go. With your computer batteries, you will be able to work longer without being tied to an electrical outlet.
The operating system may run slower when using the battery mode.
Any use of the battery other than the original or Lenovo battery will result inburning or fire. Dispose of the used battery depending on the instructions. Attention:
25 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 26 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Chapter 2. Using Your Computer
Checking Battery Status You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by using Windows Power options. The rate at which you use battery power determines how long you can use the battery of your computer between charges. 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 begin to 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.
Using the AC Adapter The power to run your computer can come either from the lithium-ion (Li-

Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away. Attention:
Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three to five minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.
Power Cords and Power Adapters Danger:
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer. The power cord and power adapter are intended for use with this product only. They should never be used with any other product. The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be H03VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm2, or better. For other countries, the suitable types shall be used accordingly. Never wrap a power cord around a power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack, or crimp. This can present a safety hazard. Always route power cords or any other cables so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects. 58 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 59 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information Protect power cords and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your power cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short circuit, particularly if the power cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids also can cause gradual corrosion of power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on a power adapter, which can eventually result in overheating. Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles. Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins or shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere on the power adapter. Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way. 59 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 60 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Chapter 6.

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 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. 72 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 73 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information

internal and external. External CRUs are easy to install, whereas internal CRUs require some technical skills and in some cases might require tools such as a screwdriver. However, both internal and external CRUs are safe for removal by the customer. Customers are responsible for replacing all external CRUs. Internal CRUs can be removed and installed by customers or by a Lenovo service technician during the warranty period. Your computer contains the following types of external CRUs:
External CRUs (pluggable): These CRUs unplug from the computer. Examples of these types of CRUs include the AC adapter and power cord.
External CRUs with latches: These CRUs include a latch to help you remove and replace the part. Examples of these types of CRUs include the notebook main battery, an optical drive, a hard-disk drive, and an extended battery. Your computer contains the following types of internal CRUs:
Internal CRUs (located behind an access panel): These CRUs are isolated parts within the computer that are concealed by an access panel that is typically secured by either one or two screws. Once the access panel is removed, only the specific CRU is visible. Examples of these types of CRUs include memory modules and hard disk drives. Internal CRUs (located within the product): These CRUs are accessible only by opening the computers outer case. Examples of these CRUs include PCI Express Mini Cards and the integrated keyboard.

California Perchlorate Information:
Products containing CR (manganese dioxide) lithium coin cell batteries may contain perchlorate. Perchlorate Material special handling may apply. See http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. Notice on Deleting Data from Your Hard Disk - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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.
Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it. 117 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 118 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Appendix D. Notices
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 S9-S10 User Guide V1.0_en.book Page 119 Wednesday, July 23, 2008 5:53 PM Appendix D.
