Read this first  
Be sure to follow the important tips given here to get the most use and enjoyment out of your tablet. Failure  
to do so might lead to discomfort or injury, or cause your tablet to fail.  
Important safety and handling information  
To avoid personal injury, property damage, or accidental damage to your ThinkPad® Tablet 2 (hereafter  
referred to as the tablet), read all of the information in this section before using it.  
For detailed operating instructions, refer to the ThinkPad Tablet 2 User Guide (this publication). You can  
access the ThinkPad Tablet 2 User Guide by using one of the following methods:  
• Go to http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadUserGuides and follow the instructions on the screen.  
• Start your tablet. Tap Lenovo Support on the Start screen. Then tap User Guide.  
• Open Windows® Help and Support. Then tap User Guide.  
For additional tips to help you operate your tablet safely, go to:  
http://www.lenovo.com/safety  
Handle your tablet with care:  
Do not drop, bend, puncture, insert foreign objects, or place heavy objects on your tablet. Sensitive  
components inside might become damaged.  
Your tablet screen is made of glass. The glass might break if the tablet is dropped on a hard surface, is  
the subject of a high impact, or is crushed by a heavy object. If the glass chips or cracks, do not touch  
the broken glass or attempt to remove it from the tablet. Stop using the tablet immediately and contact  
Lenovo® technical support for repair, replacement, or disposal information.  
Do not disassemble or modify your tablet:  
Your tablet is a sealed unit. There are no end-user serviceable parts inside. All internal repairs must be done  
by a Lenovo-authorized repair facility or a Lenovo-authorized technician. Attempting to open or modify your  
tablet will void the warranty.  
Do not attempt to replace the internal battery:  
Replacement of the internal rechargeable battery must be done by a Lenovo-authorized repair facility or a  
Lenovo-authorized technician. Lenovo-authorized repair facilities or technicians recycle Lenovo batteries  
according to local laws and regulations.  
Prevent your tablet and adapter from getting wet:  
Do not immerse your tablet in water or leave it in a location where it can get saturated with water or other  
liquids.  
Use approved charging methods only:  
You can use any of the following charging methods to safely recharge the internal battery of your tablet:

The battery will discharge more slowly  
than usual.  
Charging devices might become warm during normal use. Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around  
the charging device. Unplug the charging device if any of the following occurs:  
• The charging device has been exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.  
• The charging device shows signs of physical damage.  
• You want to clean the charging device.  
Lenovo is not responsible for the performance or safety of products not manufactured or approved by  
Lenovo.  
Prevent hearing damage:  
Your tablet has a headphone connector. Always use the headphone connector for headphones (also called a  
headset) or earphones.  
CAUTION:  
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of  
the equalizer to maximum increases the earphone and headphone output voltage and the sound  
pressure level. Therefore, to protect your hearing, adjust the equalizer to an appropriate level.  
Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time at high volume can be dangerous if  
the output of the headphone or earphone connectors do not comply with specifications of EN 50332-2.  
The headphone output connector of your tablet complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specification  
limits the tablet's maximum wide band true RMS output voltage to 150 mV. To help protect against hearing  
loss, ensure that the headphones or earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7 limits) for a  
wide band characteristic voltage of 75 mV. Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-2 can be  
dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.  
If your tablet came with headphones or earphones in the package, as a set, the combination of the  
headphones or earphones and the tablet already complies with the specifications of EN 50332-1. If different  
headphones or earphones are used, ensure that they comply with EN 50332-1 (Clause 6.5 Limitation  
Values). Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-1 can be dangerous due to excessive  
sound pressure levels.  
Take care when using your tablet in a motor vehicle or on a bicycle:  
Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Follow the law. Local laws and regulations might  
govern how you can use mobile electronic devices, such as your tablet, while you drive a motor vehicle  
or ride a bicycle.  
iv User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Dispose according to local laws and regulations:  
When your tablet reaches the end of its useful life, do not crush, incinerate, immerse in water, or dispose of  
your tablet in any manner contrary to local laws and regulations. Some internal parts contain substances  
that can explode, leak, or have an adverse environmental affect if disposed of incorrectly.  
See Appendix B “Environmental, recycling, and disposal information” on page 61 for additional information.  
Keep your tablet and accessories away from small children:  
Your tablet contains small parts that can be a choking hazard to small children. Additionally, the glass screen  
can break or crack if dropped on or thrown against a hard surface.  
Protect your data and software:  
Do not delete unknown files or change the name of files or directories that were not created by you;  
otherwise, your tablet software might fail to work.  
Be aware that accessing network resources can leave your tablet vulnerable to computer viruses, hackers,  
spyware, and other malicious activities that might damage your tablet, 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.  
Keep electrical appliances such as an electric fan, radio, high-powered speakers, air conditioner, and  
microwave oven away from your tablet because the strong magnetic fields generated by these appliances  
can damage the screen and the data on the tablet.  
Be aware of heat generated by your tablet:  
When your tablet is turned on or the battery is charging, some parts might become hot. The temperature  
that they reach depends on the amount of system activity and the level of charge in the battery. Extended  
contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause discomfort or even a skin burn. Avoid keeping  
your hands, your lap, or any other part of your body in contact with a hot section of the tablet for any  
extended time.

Updating your system UEFI BIOS  
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS is a part of the system programs that make up  
the basic layer of software built into your tablet. The UEFI BIOS translates the instructions from other  
software layers.  
Your tablet system board has a module called EEPROM, also referred to as flash memory. You can update  
the UEFI BIOS and the ThinkPad Setup program by starting your tablet with a flash update optical disc or  
flash update application running in the Windows environment.  
In some instances when you add software, hardware, or a device driver, you might be informed that you  
need to update your UEFI BIOS in order for the new addition to work properly.  
To update your UEFI BIOS, go to the following Web site and follow the instructions on the screen:  
http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers  
Using system management  
This section is intended primarily for network administrators.  
Your tablet is designed for manageability, so that you can redirect more of your resources to better meet  
your business objectives.  
This manageability, or “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO), enables you to remotely operate client tablets in  
the same way as you operate your own tablet, such as turning on a client tablet, formatting hard disk  
drive, and installing software.  
Chapter 9. Advanced configuration 43  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Once the tablet is configured and operational, you can manage it by use of software and manageability  
features already integrated into the client system and the network.  
System management  
Read this topic to learn more about features of system management.  
Desktop Management Interface  
The system UEFI BIOS of your tablet supports an interface called System Management BIOS Reference  
Specification (SMBIOS) V2.6.1 SMBIOS provides information about the hardware components of your  
system. It is the responsibility of the BIOS to supply this database with information about itself and the  
devices on the system board. This specification documents the standards for getting access to this BIOS  
information.  
Preboot eXecution Environment  
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology makes your tablet more manageable (it is PXE  
2.1-compliant) by enabling it to boot (load an operating system or another executable image) from a server.  
Your tablet supports the personal tablet functions that PXE requires. For example, with the appropriate LAN  
card, your tablet can be booted from the PXE server.  
Note: Remote Program Load (RPL) cannot be used with your tablet.  
Asset ID EEPROM  
The Asset ID EEPROM contains information about the system, including its configuration and the serial  
numbers of key components. It also includes a number of blank fields in which you can record information  
about the end users in your network.  
Setting management feature  
Your network administrator can remotely update the system programs on your tablet from a management  
console. The following requirements must be met:  
• Your tablet must be started over the LAN.  
• Your tablet must be engaged in a Preboot eXecution Environment.  
• Network-management software must be installed on the remote administrator's tablet.

Wireless related information  
Wireless interoperability  
Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card is designed to be interoperable with any wireless LAN product that  
is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Complementary Code Keying (CCK), and/or  
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology, and is compliant to:  
• The 802.11b/g Standard, 802.11a/b/g or 802.11n draft 2.0 on Wireless LANs, as defined and approved by  
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.  
• The Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) certification as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.  
The Bluetooth card in your tablet is designed to be interoperable with any Bluetooth product that is  
compliant to Bluetooth Specification 2.1+EDR as defined by the Bluetooth SIG. The following profiles  
are supported by your Bluetooth card:  
• Audio Gateway  
• AV  
• Generic Object Exchange  
• Generic Object Push  
• Human Interface Devices (Keyboard/Mouse)  
• Personal Area Network  
• Serial Port  
• Service Discovery  
Usage environment and your health  
Integrated wireless cards 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  
such as mobile phones.  
Due to the fact that integrated wireless cards operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety  
standards and recommendations, Lenovo believes they are safe for use by consumers. These standards and  
recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels  
and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.  
In some situations or environments, the use of integrated wireless cards might be restricted by the proprietor  
of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations and areas might for  
example include:  
• Using the integrated wireless cards onboard of airplanes, in hospitals or near petrol stations, blasting  
areas (with electro-explosive devices), medical implants or body-worn electronic medical devices.  
• 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, you  
are encouraged to ask for authorization to use integrated wireless cards prior to turning on the tablet.

The WEEE marking on Lenovo products applies to countries with WEEE and e-waste regulations (for example,  
European Directive 2002/96/EC, India E-Waste Management & Handling Rules, 2011). Appliances are  
labeled in accordance with local regulations concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).  
These regulations determine the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable  
within each geography. This label is applied to various products to indicate that the product is not to be  
thrown away, but rather put in the established collective systems for reclaiming these end of life products.  
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking must not dispose of end of  
life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to them for the return,  
recycle, and recovery of WEEE and to minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment and  
human health due to the presence of hazardous substances. For additional WEEE information go to:
