Questions answered in these manuals
How can I reduce power consumption on my IdeaPad S9/S10?
Use the preset power‑management features: the monitor turns off after 10 minutes, hard disks after 30 minutes, the system enters standby after 20 minutes, and hibernates after 2 hours.
What should I do if the battery shows damage or the computer makes unusual sounds?
Stop using the product immediately and contact Lenovo customer support; do not attempt to service the product yourself.
How do I check the battery status?
You can check the battery status using the battery status indicator described in the "Using battery and AC adapter" section.
How can I connect to a wireless LAN?
Enable the wireless LAN feature in the system settings as explained in the "Using wireless LAN" part of the guide.
Why does the hard‑drive capacity shown in Windows differ from the advertised 80 GB?
Manufacturers use decimal units (1 GB = 1,000 MB) while Windows uses binary units (1 GB = 1,024 MB), so the OS reports a smaller value.
How can I wake the laptop from standby mode?
Press any key on the keyboard to wake the system from standby.
