computer may contain the following types of CRUs:

Self-service CRU

can also provide service to install or replace the

parts under the type of warranty designated for the

customer’s machine.

If you intend to install a CRU, Lenovo will ship the CRU to you. You might be required to return the defective

part that is replaced by the CRU. When return is required: (1) return instructions, a prepaid shipping label,

and a container will be included with the replacement CRU; and (2) you might be charged for the

access to information and technology. You can get the most up-to-date accessibility information from

Ergonomic information

Good ergonomic practice is important to get the most from your personal computer and to avoid discomfort.

Arrange your workplace and the equipment you use to suit your individual needs and the kind of work that

you perform. In addition, use healthy work habits to maximize your performance and comfort when using

your computer.

Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent changes in your environment. Adapting to the

surrounding light sources, active seating, and the placement of your computer hardware, can help you

improve your performance and achieve greater comfort.

This example shows someone in a conventional setting. Even when not in such a setting, you can follow

many of these tips. Develop good habits, and they will serve you well.

General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused

by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent short breaks from your work also help to prevent

minor discomfort associated with your working posture.

Display: Position the display to maintain a comfortable viewing distance of 510 mm to 760 mm (20 inches to

30 inches). Avoid glare or reflections on the display from overhead lighting or outside sources of light. Keep

the display screen clean and set the brightness to levels that enable you to see the screen clearly. Press the

brightness control keys to adjust display brightness.

Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position.

Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height adjustment. Use chair adjustments to

best suit your comfort posture.

Arm and hand position: If available, use chair arm rests or an area on your working surface to provide

weight support for your arms. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal)

position. Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.

Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.

What if you are traveling?

It might not be possible to observe the best ergonomic practices when you are using your computer while on

the move or in a casual setting. Regardless of the setting, try to observe as many of the tips as possible.

Sitting properly and using adequate lighting, for example, helps you maintain desirable levels of comfort and

performance. If your work area is not in an office setting, ensure to take special note of employing active

sitting and taking work breaks. Many product solutions are available to help you modify and expand your

computer to best suit your needs. You can find some of these options at

https://www.lenovo.com/accessories.

Explore your options for docking solutions and external products that provide the adjustability and features

that you want.

Questions about vision?

The visual display screens of notebook computers are designed to meet the highest standards. These visual

display screens provide you with clear, crisp images and large, bright displays that are easy to see, yet easy

on the eyes. Any concentrated and sustained visual activity can be tiring. If you have questions on eye

fatigue or visual discomfort, consult a vision-care specialist for advice.

Turn on night light

Night light is a switch in Windows that you can turn on and off. When it is turned on, your screen shows

warmer colors and the amount of emitted blue light is reduced. Enabling night light reduces the chances of

developing eye fatigue or eye strain.

Step 1. Click the notification icon in the Windows notification area.

Step 2. Click the Night light icon to turn it on or off.

Note: Click Expand if you cannot find the night light icon.

For more guidance on reducing eye fatigue or eye strain, go to

blue-light

Adjust color temperature

If Windows night light mode is turned on, you can adjust the color temperature of the screen.

Step 1. Select Start ➙ Settings.

Step 2. Select System ➙ Display ➙ Night light settings.

Step 3. Move the slider to adjust the color temperature.

Note: Selected Lenovo computers are low blue-light certified. These computers are tested with night light

turned on and color temperature set to the default value of 48.
