Avoid constant body contact with specific hot sections
When the computer is operating, it should be placed on a hard and flat surface with its bottom area not in contact with user's bare skin. Under normal operating conditions, the temperature of the bottom surface will remain within an acceptable range as defined in IEC 62368-1, but such temperatures can still be high enough to cause discomfort or harm to the user if directly touched for over 10 seconds at a time. As such, it is recommended that users avoid prolonged direct contact with the bottom of the computer.

The FnLock is a switch that reverses the primary and secondary functions of top-row dual-function keys. The FnLock switch shares the ESC key (in the upper left corner of the keyboard). To turn it on or off, press Fn + ESC. The following table provides an example of how the FnLock switch changes the default function of the F1 key.
FnLock | FnLock light | Primary function of the F1 key |
Off | Off | F1 function * |

* The F1 function is application-dependent. It may have no function if the active application does not have a definition for the key.
Use the information in this section to achieve the best balance between performance and power efficiency.
The battery status icon or
is in the Windows notification area. You can check the battery status, view the current power plan, and access battery settings quickly.
Click the battery status icon to display the percentage of battery power remaining and change the power mode. A warning message is displayed when the battery is low.
When the remaining battery power is low, charge your battery by connecting your computer to ac power.
The battery is fully charged in about two to four hours. The actual charging time depends on the battery capacity, the physical environment, and whether you are using the computer.
Battery charging is also affected by its temperature. The recommended temperature range for charging the battery is between 10°C (50°F) and 35°C (95°F).
Note:
You can check the battery temperature in Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager.
To maximize the life of the battery, once the battery is fully charged, it must discharge to 94% or lower before it will be allowed to recharge again.
The USB Type-C connector on the rear of the computer conforms to USB Power Delivery Specification. If you did not carry the included ac power adapter with your computer, you have the option of using a qualified USB Type-C charger (purchased separately) that is also Power Delivery compliant to charge the computer in sleep or powered-off state. Lenovo branded USB Type-C chargers with the following listed maximum ratings are tested to work with the computer. Chargers of other brands with the same ratings should also work but are not thoroughly tested.
The rear USB Type-C connector is not designed as the primary power input connector. When the computer is operating, the power supplied by the USB Type-C charger may be insufficient. As a result, the computer may not operate at its full capacity and the battery charging may stop or is very slow. Use the included ac power adapter whenever possible.
When purchasing third-party USB Type-C chargers for use with the computer, choose a product that is safety approved or certified. A disqualified charger may cause damage to your computer or pose an electrical hazard. In many countries and regions, manufacturers or importers of electric chargers can submit their products to a certification authority or approved and recognized testing laboratories. Such a product usually carries a mark if it was tested to pass relevant quality and safety standards. For some countries and regions, this certification process is even mandatory. If you live in mainland China, choose a charger with the "CCC" mark; for users in many European countries, choose one with the "CE" mark; for users in the United States and Canada, choose a Listed charger that carries a mark by one of the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories. (For example, the "UL Listed"mark). For people living in other countries and regions, consult a qualified electrical engineer for how to select a safety approved electric charger.
By default, pressing the power button puts the computer to sleep mode. However, you can change the power button behavior in Windows Control Panel.
A power plan is a collection of power-saving settings made available by an operating system. With a power plan, you can set idle time-outs for different hardware components to enter a low-power state. The default power plan and some of its idle time-out settings are listed below for computer models pre-installed with Windows.
The listed settings are active when the computer is connected to an electrical outlet. If your computer include a built-in battery pack, a different collection of time-out settings is set to take effect when the computer is operating on battery power.
Power settings | 82RF, 82S0 | 82RG, 82RY |
Power plan | Balanced | Balanced |
Turn off the display | After 10 minutes | After 10 minutes |
Put the computer to sleep | After 30 minutes | After 10 minutes |
Note: To wake the computer from the sleep state, press the power button or any key on the keyboard.

This section introduces what is UEFI/BIOS and the operations you can perform in its setup utility.
UEFI/BIOS is the first program that runs when a computer starts. UEFI/BIOS initializes hardware components and loads the operating system and other programs. Your computer may include a setup program (setup utility) with which you can change certain UEFI/BIOS settings.
When enabled, the Fn key and the Ctrl key can be used interchangeably for key combinations involving the Ctrl key. For example, you can press either Ctrl + A or Fn + A to select all text in a text editing application.
For some Lenovo computers with always-on connectors, the always-on function can be enabled or disabled in the UEFI/BIOS setup utility.
When Flip to Boot is enabled, you can turn on the computer by flipping open the screen.
This section introduces the types of passwords that you can set in the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) or BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) setup utility.
You can set various types of passwords in the UEFI/BIOS setup utility.
Password type | Pre-requisite | Usage |
Administrator password | No | You must enter it to start the setup utility. |
User password | The administrator password must be set. | You can use the user password to start the setup utility. |
Master hard disk password | No | You must enter it to start the operating system. |
User hard disk password | The master hard disk password must be set. | You can use the user hard disk password to start the operating system. |
Notes:
You set the administrator password to prevent unauthorized access to the UEFI/BIOS setup utility.
Attention: If you forget the administrator password, a Lenovo authorized service personnel cannot reset your password. You must take your computer to a Lenovo authorized service personnel to have the system board replaced. Proof of purchase is required and a fee will be charged for parts and service.
Next time you start the computer, you must enter the administrator password to open the setup utility. If Power on Password is enabled, you must enter the administrator password or the user password to start the computer.
Only the administrator can change or remove the administrator password.
If you remove the administrator password, the user password is also removed.
You must set the administrator password before you can set the user password.
The administrator of the setup utility might need to set a user password for use by others.
If the administrator password has been set, you can enable power-on password to enforce greater security.
If power-on password is enabled, a prompt appears on the screen every time you turn on the computer. You must enter the administrator or user password to start the computer.
Permanent data is stored on secondary storage devices. Your computer may include one or more solid-state drive or hard disk drive as secondary storage device(s). You can set passwords for secondary storage devices in the setup utility to prevent unauthorized access to your data.
Attention: Be extremely careful when setting a hard disk password. If you forget the hard disk password, a Lenovo authorized service personnel cannot reset your password or recover data from the hard disk. You must take your computer to a Lenovo authorized service personnel to have the hard disk drive replaced. Proof of purchase is required and a fee will be charged for parts and service.
If the hard disk password is set, you must provide the correct password to start the operating system.
