How to expand the internal storage of the Lenovo IdeaTab S8?

Insert a microSD card into the slot (up to 32 GB). Go to Settings > Storage to configure the card as internal storage (formatting) or portable. Note that formatting as internal may slow down the device.

Prevent hearing damage

Your device has a headphone connector. Always use the headphone connector for headphones (also called a headset) or earphones.

CAUTION:

Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the earphone and headphone output voltage and the sound pressure level. Therefore, to protect your hearing, adjust the equalizer to an appropriate level.

Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time at high volume can be dangerous if the output of the headphone or earphone connectors do not comply with specifications of EN 50332-2.

The headphone output connector of your device complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specification limits the device's maximum wide band true RMS output voltage to 150 mV . To help protect against hearing loss, ensure that the headphones or earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7 limits) for a wide band characteristic voltage of 75 mV . Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-2 can be dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.

If your device came with headphones or earphones in the package, as a set, the combination of the headphones or earphones and the device already complies with the specifications of EN 50332-1. If different headphones or earphones are used, ensure that they comply with EN 50332-1 (Clause 6.5 Limitation Values). Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-1 can be dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.

Sound pressure warning statement

For the device that is tested in accordance with EN 60950-1:

2006+A11:2009:+A1:2010+A12:2011, it is mandatory to perform audio tests for EN50332.

This device has been tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level requirement laid down in the applicable EN 50332-1 and/or EN 50332-2 standards. Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.

Warning statement:

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for a long period of time.
