+When any of the "too hot" alarms happen, according to Lenovo the user
+should suspend or hibernate the laptop (and in the case of battery
+alarms, unplug the AC adapter) to let it cool down. These alarms do

+operating conditions.

+The "extremely hot" alarms are emergencies. According to Lenovo, the
