Relative humidity:

Operating: 8% to 95% at wet-bulb temperature 23°C (73°F)

Storage: 5% to 95% at wet-bulb temperature 27°C (81°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 the 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 configure settings, type the corresponding keywords in the Windows search box and select the best match. Follow the on-screen instructions to customize settings.

The Novo Button menu can be displayed before the operating system starts. From this menu, you can choose to open the BIOS/UEFI setup utility, the boot device selection menu, or the Windows startup options screen.

To open the menu:

Step 1. Turn off the computer.

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

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

Hotkeys on your LENOVO V14 G4 IAN 2 provide shortcuts to frequently used functions. They share keys with the function keys (F1-F12). The FnLock switch, toggled by pressing Fn + Esc, changes how these keys work. The Esc key has an LED to indicate the FnLock status.

The LENOVO V14 G4 IAN 2 supports multiple charging modes that can be switched in Lenovo Vantage, Lenovo PC Manager, or Lenovo Smart Engine. The recommended temperature for charging is between 10°C (50°F) and 35°C (95°F).

Normal mode: This is 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, switch to rapid charge mode.

Conservation mode: If your computer is constantly plugged in, consider this mode. The battery’s charge will be kept within 75%-80%, which is beneficial for long-term battery health.

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, follow these steps:

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%.

You can switch the operation mode in the pre-installed app Lenovo Vantage, Lenovo Smart Engine, or Lenovo PC Manager. As a shortcut, you can also use the key combination Fn + Q. The following modes are available:

Step 1. Turn on or restart the computer.

Step 2. Before the Lenovo logo appears on the screen, press F2 repeatedly.

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.
