LENOVO THINKBOOK PLUS GEN 6 ROLLABLE I (01) PDF Document

The buzzer on your LENOVO THINKBOOK PLUS GEN 6 ROLLABLE I is an electrical component that generates sound to provide an audible alarm or notification. It is used to alert you to incorrect operation during the screen rolling process. If you adjust the opening angle of the computer to less than 90 degrees during the screen rolling process, the screen will stop rolling and the buzzer will produce an audible alarm simultaneously.

The LENOVO THINKBOOK PLUS GEN 6 ROLLABLE I has a toggle switch to enable or disable the built-in camera for privacy protection. The default state of the camera is on. If you don’t need to use the camera, slide the switch to the off position to prevent any apps from using the camera.

The charging light indicates whether the PC is plugged into an electrical outlet and the battery charge level.

The power light indicates the current power state of the PC and can also indicate low battery by blinking rapidly when the PC is powered on.

The Novo button is rarely used during normal operations. It is placed in a recessed hole to prevent accidental pressing. You can use a straightened paper clip to press this button when the PC is powered off.

When pressed, the Novo button displays a menu from which you can choose to:

• Open the firmware setup utility

• Display the boot device selection menu

• Display the Windows advanced startup options page

The LENOVO THINKBOOK PLUS GEN 6 ROLLABLE I allows you to vertically extend the screen from 14 inches to 16.7 inches. Before rolling the screen, ensure that:

• No obstacles are blocking the rolling process. If an obstacle is detected, the screen will automatically return to its initial state.

Your LENOVO THINKBOOK PLUS GEN 6 ROLLABLE I supports multiple charging modes that can be switched in Lenovo Vantage.

• Normal mode: The most basic charging mode. It typically takes 2 to 4 hours for the battery to charge from 0% to 100%.

• Rapid charge mode: Charges the battery faster than normal mode. See the table below for typical charge times.

• Conservation mode: Ideal for when the computer is constantly plugged in. The battery’s charge will be kept within 75%-80% to benefit the long-term health of the battery.

• Overnight charge optimization: Adapts its charging behavior based on your usage patterns. During the night, the battery is charged to a particular range and kept there for an extended period, before being further charged to 100% just before you typically unplug it. This ensures safe charging and is beneficial to battery health.

Reference charge time for batteries in rapid charge mode

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 by discharging and re-charging the battery.
