LENOVO LEGION PRO 5 16IAX10H 1 (01) PDF DOCUMENT

This multi-purpose USB Type-C® connector is used to connect:

• Storage or peripheral devices that follow the universal serial bus (USB) specification for data transfer and device interconnection

• Display devices

• USB Power Delivery-compliant USB Type-C charger (for the connector with an icon USB-PD next to it)

• Thunderbolt™-enabled docks or devices (for the connector with an icon next to it)

A USB connector with a battery icon supports the always-on function. The PC can supply power to a USB device connected to this type of connector even when the PC is powered off, in sleep mode, or in hibernation mode.

The always-on function can be turned on and off in:

• The PC’s firmware setup utility, or

• Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager

This toggle switch is used to enable or disable the built-in camera.

Note: This switch is designed for privacy protection. If you don’t need to use the camera, slide the switch to the off position to prevent any apps from using the camera.

Air vents (intake)

The air vents allow air to be sucked inside of the PC to cool the internal components.

Important: When the PC is operating, do not place it on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other flexible surfaces. Otherwise, the air vents will be blocked and the PC may overheat, reducing performance or causing the PC to be unresponsive or even shut down.

The air vents allow hot air to be discharged out of the PC.

Important: When the PC is operating, do not place it on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other flexible surfaces. Otherwise, the air vents will be blocked and the PC may overheat, reducing performance or causing the PC to be unresponsive or even shut down.

Maximum altitude (without pressurization)

3048 m (10 000 ft)

Temperature

• At altitudes up to 2438 m (8000 ft)

– Operating: 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F)

– Storage: 5°C to 43°C (41°F to 109°F)

• At altitudes above 2438 m (8000 ft)

– Maximum temperature when operating under the unpressurized condition: 31.3°C (88°F)

CAUTION:

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 10s at a time. As such, it is recommended that users avoid prolonged direct contact with the bottom of the computer.

Normal mode

Normal mode is the most basic charging mode. In normal mode, it typically takes 2 to 4 hours for the battery to charge from 0% to 100%.

Rapid charge mode

If you want the battery to be charged faster than in normal mode, switch the battery charging to rapid charge mode.

Conservation mode

If your computer is constantly plugged into an electrical outlet, consider switching the battery charging to conservation mode. In conservation mode, the battery will not be fully charged. Instead, the battery’s charge will be kept within 75%-80%. This is beneficial to the long-term health of the battery.

Overnight charge optimization

When enabled, the computer regularly adapts its charging behavior based on observation of when you plug in the computer at night and unplug it in the morning. During the nighttime, the battery is charged to a particular range and is kept within that range for an extended period, before being further charged to 100%.

If your computer is constantly plugged in to an electrical outlet and the battery rarely discharges, the battery may not be charged to its full capacity even if the battery meter reports 100% charge. You can recover the battery’s full charging potential simply by discharging and re-charging the battery.

Step 1. Unplug the computer and use it until the battery charge drops below 20%.

Step 2. Plug in the computer and charge the battery to 100%.

The USB Type-C connector (with an icon USB-PD next to it) on the left side 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.

• 20 V, 4.75 A

• 20 V, 5 A

• 20 V, 6.75 A

• 20 V, 7 A

By default, pressing the power button puts the computer to sleep mode. However, you can change the power button behavior in Windows Control Panel.

Step 1. Type Control Panel in the Windows search box and then press Enter. Open the control panel and view by large or small icons.

Step 2. Select the power options and then click to choose what the power button does.

You can switch the operation mode in the pre-installed app Legion Space or Lenovo Legion Zone. As a shortcut, you can also use the key combination fn + Q. The following table lists the available operation modes on your computer and the recommended conditions for each mode.

A refresh rate of 60 Hz is adequate for most situations and is energy efficient. However, when viewing videos or playing video games, a higher refresh rate usually provides a smoother viewing experience.

The displays of some Lenovo computers support dual refresh rates. For such a computer, you can manually switch its display to work at either the higher or lower refresh rate. For Windows operation systems, the manual settings are usually found in Settings → System → Display. As a shortcut, you can also use the key combination fn + R to switch the display refresh rate.

2. Wait until you are certain that all the liquid is dry before turning on your computer.

CAUTION: Do not try to drain out the liquid by turning over the computer. If your computer has keyboard drainage holes on the bottom, the liquid will be drained out through the holes.

Your computer may have Flip to Start enabled. Many Lenovo notebook computers include a sensor that can detect the angle at which the lid is opened. When you open the lid, the sensor can detect this behavior. If Flip to Start is enabled, the computer will respond by starting up automatically.

If you don’t like this feature, you can disable it. Flip to Start can be enabled and disabled in:

• Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager

• Firmware Setup Utility

Your Windows operating system version is not up to date and does not include the necessary software components. Update your Windows operating system to version 23H2 or later using Windows Update and then try again.

Customer replaceable units (CRUs) are parts that can be replaced by the customer. A Lenovo computer may contain the following types of CRUs:

Self-service CRU: Parts that can be replaced easily by customers themselves or by trained service technicians at an additional cost.

Optional-service CRU: Parts that can be replaced by customers with a greater skill level. Trained service technicians can also provide service to replace the parts under the type of warranty designated for the customer’s machine.

Keyboard Accessibility:

• The alphabetic keys are arranged in a QWERTY layout. The F and J keys have bumps that make them tactilely distinguishable. Some models include a separate numeric keypad where the 5 key features a bump.

• Standard modifier keys are included: alt, ctrl, shift, Windows logo key.

• The tab key allows users to cycle through interactive elements.

• Hotkeys in the top row offer convenient access to frequently used settings.

• The fn key and fnlock switch allow users to access both hotkey and function key functionalities without pressing two keys simultaneously.

• Keyboard backlights help with use in dark lighting conditions, controlled by fn + Space.

Biometric Devices:

Some models are equipped with an IR LED and an IR camera for facial recognition in Windows 11, or a fingerprint reader for authentication. This can be particularly beneficial for users who find it difficult typing passwords.
