ThinkVantage button
The blue ThinkVantage button can help you in many situations when your computer is working normally,
and even when it is not.
You can also use the ThinkVantage button to interrupt the startup sequence of your computer and start the
Rescue and Recovery workspace, which runs independently of the Windows operating system and is hidden
from it. If Windows is not running properly, you may need to do the following:
• Get the current system information.
• Rescue a file from your Windows environment or restore back-up files, provided you have made backups
by use of the Rescue and Recovery program.
• Configure your computer or start the ThinkPad Setup.
All this can be achieved from the Rescue and Recovery workspace. Turn on the computer; then, while the
“To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button” message is displayed at the lower-left of
the screen, press the ThinkVantage button. The Rescue and Recovery screen opens.
Numeric keypad
The keyboard has keys that, when enabled, work as a 10-key numeric keypad.
