• Keep electrical appliances such as an electric fan, radio, air conditioner, and microwave oven away from
the computer. The strong magnetic fields generated by these appliances can damage the monitor and
data on the hard disk drive.
• Do not place any beverages on top of or beside the computer or other attached devices. If liquid is spilled
on or in the computer or an attached device, a short circuit or other damage might occur.
• Do not eat or smoke over your keyboard. Particles that fall into your keyboard can cause damage.

An introduction to Lenovo programs

This topic provides a brief introduction to Lenovo programs. Depending on your computer model, some of
the programs might not be available.
Access Connections™
(Windows 7)
Active Protection System™
(Windows 7 and Windows 10)
The Access Connections program is a connectivity assistant program for
creating and managing location profiles. Each location profile stores all the
network and Internet configuration settings needed for connecting to a network
infrastructure from a specific location such as a home or an office.
By switching between location profiles as you move your computer from place
to place, you can quickly and easily connect to a network with no need to
manually reconfigure your settings and restart the computer each time.
The Active Protection System program protects your internal storage drive (such
as hard disk drive) when the shock sensor inside your computer detects a
condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration,
or shock.
The internal storage drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating.
This is because when the internal storage drive is not operating, the system
stops it from spinning, and might also move the read and write heads of the
drive to areas that do not contain data.
As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is stable again
(minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns on the internal
storage drive.
