Conditions That Require Immediate Action - Lenovo IdeaCentre A340-24ICB F0E6 User Manual

Conditions that require immediate
action
Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product damage is
serious enough that the product should not be used again until it has been inspected
and, if necessary, repaired by an authorized servicer.
As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is turned on.
On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks vent
from your product, or you might hear sounds like popping, cracking, or hissing. This
might just mean that an internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled
manner. However, they might indicate a potential safety issue. Do not take risks or
attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the Customer Support Center for
further guidance.
Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage, wear, or signs
of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a component, do not use
the product. Contact the Customer Support Center or the product manufacturer for
instructions on how to inspect the product and have it repaired if necessary.
In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following, or if you have any safety
concerns with your product, stop using the product and unplug it from the power
source and telecommunication lines until you can speak to the Customer Support
Center for further guidance.
• Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or power
supplies that are cracked, broken, or damaged.
• Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.
• Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a battery,
or a buildup of foreign substances on the battery.
• A cracking, hissing, or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the product.
• Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer product,
the power cord, or power adapter.
• The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to water.
• The product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions.
NOTE:
If you notice any of the above with a product (such as an extension cord) that is
not manufactured for or by Lenovo, stop using that product until you can contact
the product manufacturer for further instructions, or until you get a suitable
replacement.
