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

To open one of these apps, type its name in the Windows Search box and select the matched result.

The Novo Button menu can be displayed before the operating system starts. From the menu, you can choose to:

To open the Novo Button menu:

Step 1. Turn off the computer.

Step 2. Open the LCD screen and press the Novo button.

Note: Alternatively, turn off the computer. Press Fn and the hotkey to open the Novo Button menu.

Hotkeys are keys on the top row of the keyboard with printed icons, providing shortcuts to frequently used functions. They share keys with function keys (F1–F12). The FnLock switch, activated by pressing Fn + Esc, changes how you use these keys.

For these dual-function keys, the primary function’s icon is printed on top of the secondary function’s icon.

Your LENOVO V14 G4 AMN may have the following intelligent features, which can be enabled or disabled in Lenovo Vantage, Lenovo PC Manager, or Lenovo Smart Engine:

• Eye Care Mode: Intelligently adjusts the color temperature of the screen and can reduce the chances of developing eye fatigue or eye strain.

• Smart Noise Cancelling: By filtering the input and output environments, Smart Noise Cancelling helps you reduce noise and optimize the call effect in different scenarios.

You can switch the battery’s active charging mode in Lenovo Vantage, Lenovo PC Manager, or Lenovo Smart Engine. The available modes are:

• 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: If you want the battery to be charged faster than in normal mode, switch to rapid charge mode. It typically takes less than 1 hour to charge from 0% to 80% and less than 2 hours to charge from 0% to 100%.

• Conservation mode: If your computer is constantly plugged into an electrical outlet, consider this mode. The battery’s charge will be kept within 75%–80%, which is beneficial for the long-term health of the battery.

Note: 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.

If your computer is constantly plugged in and the battery rarely discharges, it may not charge to its full capacity even if the meter reports 100%. To recover the battery’s full charging potential, discharge and re-charge it:

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%.

By default, pressing the power button puts the computer to sleep. You can change this behavior in the Windows Control Panel.
