An introduction to Lenovo programs

This topic provides a brief introduction to some Lenovo programs.
Note: Depending on your computer model, some of the programs might not be available.
• Communications Utility (Windows 7)
The Communications Utility program provides a central location for integrated camera and microphone
settings. It controls advanced settings for the integrated microphone and camera to optimize Web
conferencing and Voice over IP (VOIP) experience.
• Fingerprint Manager Pro or ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software (Windows 7 and Windows 8.1)
The integrated fingerprint reader provided on some keyboards enables you to enroll your fingerprint
and associate it with your power-on password, hard disk password, and Windows password. As a
result, fingerprint authentication can replace passwords and enable simple and secure user access. A
fingerprint reader keyboard is available with select computers or can be purchased for computers that
support this option.
• Lenovo Bluetooth Lock (Windows 7 and Windows 8.1)
The Lenovo Bluetooth Lock program enables you to use a Bluetooth device (such as your smartphone) as
a proximity-based unit for locking or unlocking your computer automatically. By detecting the distance
between your computer and the predefined Bluetooth device that you are carrying, the Lenovo Bluetooth
Lock program automatically locks your computer when you walk away and unlocks your computer when
you come back. This is a simple way to protect your computer against unauthorized access in case
that you forget to lock your computer.
• Lenovo Companion (Windows 8.1)
Through the Lenovo Companion program, you can get information about accessories for your computer,
view blogs and articles about your computer, and learn about other recommended programs.
• Lenovo Reach (Windows 7 and Windows 8.1)
Use the Lenovo Reach program to enhance your cloud experience. Lenovo Reach keeps you connected
at all times and enables you to access all your favorite items from personal computers, smartphones,
or tablets. As a result, you can access, edit, and share your files from anywhere. With Lenovo Reach,
you also can add your favorite Web services to your cloud desktop and stay logged-in to Web sites with
the cloud password manager.
