Safety Notice

DANGER

Do not disassemble, incinerate, or short-circuit the

rechargeable battery pack. Do not put it in trash that is

disposed of in landfills. Dispose of it as required by

local ordinances or regulations. In the United States,

call IBM at 1-800-IBM-4333 for information on disposal.

CAUTION:

The lithium battery (IBM P/N 40H6424, UL-recognized

component—File No. MH12560), can be replaced only by your

dealer or an IBM service representative. It contains lithium and

can explode if not properly used, handled, or disposed of. Do

not: (1) throw or immerse into water, (2) heat to more than

100°C (212°F), or (3) repair or disassemble. Dispose of it as

required by local ordinances or regulations.

CAUTION:

The fluorescent lamp in the liquid crystal display (LCD) contains

mercury. Do not put it in trash that is disposed of in landfills.

Dispose of it as required by local ordinances or regulations.

The LCD is made of glass, and rough handling or dropping the

computer can cause the LCD to break. If the LCD breaks and

the internal fluid gets into your eyes or on your hands,

immediately wash the affected areas with water for at least 15

minutes; then get medical care if any symptoms are present

after washing.

Ergonomics Information

This is important information to read before using your ThinkPad

computer in the virtual office.

Working in the virtual office may mean adapting to frequent changes

in your environment. Following some simple “rules of the road” will

make things easier and bring you the maximum benefits of your

ThinkPad computer. Keeping in mind such basics as good lighting

and proper seating, for example, can go a long way in helping you

enhance your performance and achieve greater comfort wherever

you are.
