NotebookTravel,notebook

► Switch off the radio component for data security reasons. With data trafﬁc via a wireless

connection, it is also possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data.

Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation for your radio component.

► If you wish to use your notebook during a ﬂight, ﬁrst check with the ﬂight

attendants if it is OK to do so.

When travelling in other countries

► If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the

local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!

► Check whether the local mains voltage and the power cable are compatible. If this is

not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions.

► Enquire with the corresponding govern m ent ofﬁce of the country you will be

travelling in as to whether you may operate the radio component integrated in your notebook there (see also "

CE marking", Page 67).

Notebook: t ranspo rting

Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight in a car).

An optimum and sharp image can only be ensured with the resolution intended for th e particular screen. A screen resolution which differs from the speciﬁcation can result in an unclear image.

The resolution of your notebook’s screen is set to the optimum at the factory.

Current production technolo gy cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of faulty pixels is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class 4).

Example:

A screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 has 1280 x 800 = 1024000 pixels. Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 3 million subpixels in total. According to ISO 9241-307 (class 4), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark pixels and in addition 5 light or 10 dark subpixels or an equivalent mix (1 light subpixel co unts as 2 dark subpixels) are allowed to be defective.

Webcam

Depending on the software used, you can use your Webcam to take pictures, record video clips or take part in web chats.

• The picture quality depends on the lighting conditions and the software being used.

• You can only operate the webcam with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telephony program or a video conferencing program which supports a webcam).

• When using the webcam the notebook support must not wobble.

• The webcam automatically adjusts itself to the current light level. For this reason the LCD screen may ﬂicker while the light level is adjusted.

Further information on using the webcam and on the additional settings which are po ssible for your webcam can be found in the help function of the program which uses the webcam.

Rechargeable battery

RechargeablebatteryBatteryLife,batteryRechargeablebatteryRechargeablebattery

When not plugged into a ma ins socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.

You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.

Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

BatteryBattery

The notebook battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is between 5°C / 41°F and max. 35°C / 95°F.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter

BatteryBatterystatusmet

Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When you place the mouse pointer on the ba ttery symbol, the system displays the battery status.

Battery storage

BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,battery

Store battery packs in a dry environment at a temperature between 0°C / 32°F and 30°C / 86°F. T he lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lowe r the rate of self-discharge.

If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive discharge which would permanently damage the battery, check the level of charge of the battery at regular intervals.

To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.

If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.
