Putting your computer into sleep state or shutting it down  
When you finish working with your computer, you can put it into sleep state  
or shut it down.  
Putting your computer into sleep state  
If you will be away from your computer for only a short time, put the

and bypass the startup process.  
To put the computer into sleep state, click and select Sleep from the Start  
menu.  
Note: Wait until the power indicator light starts blinking (indicating that the computer is  
in sleep state) before you move your computer. Moving your computer while the

Using AC adapter and battery----------------------------------------------------------  
Checking battery status  
You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by checking  
the battery icon in the notification area.  
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  
If the battery power is low, you need to charge the battery.  
You need to charge the battery in any of the following situations:  
• If the battery status indicator starts blinking  
• If the battery has not been used for a long time  
Note:  
To increase the life of the battery pack, the computer does not start recharging the  
battery immediately after it drops from fully charged.  
Charge the battery at a temperature between 50 °F and 86 °F (10 °C-30 °C).  
Full charge or discharge is not required.

Connecting USB devices  
You can connect a USB device to your computer by inserting its USB plug  
(Type A) into the USB port on your computer.  
The first time you plug a USB device into a particular USB port on your  
computer, Windows automatically installs a driver for that device. After the  
driver is installed, you can disconnect and reconnect the device without  
performing any additional steps.  
Note: Typically, Windows detects a new device after connecting it, and then installs the  
driver automatically. However, some devices may require you to install the driver  
before connecting. Check the documentation provided by the device’s manufacturer  
before connecting the device.  
Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has  
finished transferring data by that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware  
icon in the notification area of Windows to remove the device before  
disconnecting.  
Note: If your USB device uses a power cord, connect the device to a power source before  
connecting it. Otherwise, the device may not be recognized.

notebook computers, PDAs and cell phones. You can transfer data between  
these devices without cables and up to 10 meters range in open space.  
Note: The actual maximum range may vary due to interference and transmission barriers. To  
get the best possible connection speed, place the device as near your computer as  
possible.

You can connect the computer to the Internet in the following way:  
Wireless network technology: connect without wiring.  
Wireless connection----------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Wireless connections provide mobile access to the Internet, allowing you to  
stay online anywhere the wireless signal covers.  
Divided by the signal scales, wireless connection to the Internet can be built  
based on the following standards.  
Wi-Fi  
Wi-Fi networks cover a small physical area, like a home,  
office, or small group of buildings. An access point is  
necessary for the connection.  
WiMAX  
WiMAX networks connect several Wireless LAN  
systems to cover a metropolitan area, providing high-  
speed broadband access without the need for cables.  
Mobile Broadband  
The Mobile Broadband network provides Internet access  
to computers, cell phones and other devices over a large  
geographic area. Mobile networks are used for data  
transmission, and access is usually provided by a mobile  
network operator. A Mobile Broadband SIM card is  
necessary for the connection.  
Note: Your computer may not support all wireless connection methods.

OneKey Rescue system ----------------------------------------------------------------------  
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 the 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 the 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 preinstalled  
software).  
Using Lenovo OneKey Recovery (within Windows operating  
system)  
In Windows operating system, double click the OneKey Recovery system  
Icon on the desktop to launch Lenovo OneKey Recovery.  
Within the program, you can back up the system partition on the hard disk  
drive, other storage devices, or by creating recovery discs.  
Note:  
The backup process and creation of recovery discs may take some time, connect the AC  
adapter and battery pack to your computer.  
After the recovery discs are burned, please number them so that you can use them in the  
correct order.  
Computers without an integrated optical drive support the creation of recovery discs;  
however an appropriate external optical drive is needed to physically create the recovery  
discs.  
For more instructions, see the Help file of Lenovo OneKey Recovery.

Using Lenovo OneKey Rescue system (without Windows  
operating system)  
In the event that the operating system cannot be loaded, follow the steps  
below to access OneKey Rescue system.  
• Shut down your computer.  
• Press the key to launch OneKey Rescue system.  
Within the program, you can choose to restore your system partition to the  
original factory status, or to a previously generated backup.  
Note: The recovery process is irreversible. Make sure to back up any critical data before  
using the recovery feature.  
Creating a recovery disc(s)  
Your computer does not ship with a recovery disc. You can use Lenovo  
OneKey Recovery system to create a recovery disc(s), which can be used to  
start and restore your computer in case of a system failure.  
To create a recovery disc(s):  
• Insert a recordable disc into the optical drive on your computer.  
Note: If your computer does not come with an integrated optical drive or if the integrated  
optical drive does not support disc creating, connect an appropriate external optical  
drive to your computer.  
• In Windows, press the OneKey Rescue system button to launch Lenovo  
OneKey Recovery system.  
• On the main screen, click Create Recovery Disc.  
• Choose the type of recovery disc(s). You can create three types of recovery  
disc(s): recovery disc(s) with existing backup image, recovery disc(s) from  
the current system partition, and factory default recovery disc(s). Select the  
type of recovery disc you want to create and follow the on-screen  
instructions.  
• Insert additional recordable disc(s) when prompted.

Note:  
The estimated number of discs needed will be displayed before the process of creating the  
recovery disc(s) begins. To minimize the number of discs needed, use recordable DVDs as  
the media. Also make sure your optical drive is compatible with the disc intended for use.  
After recovery disc creation, number the discs appropriately for use in their correct  
order. The first disc created will be used to start the computer in the case of a system  
failure.

describes problems that might negate the need to refer to the more  
comprehensive information in Chapter 2.  
Display problems  
When I turn on the computer,  
nothing appears on the screen.

power cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet.  
- The computer power is on. (Press the power button again  
for confirmation.)  
If these items are properly set, and the screen remains blank,
