Additional safety notes for devices with radio components

Radiocomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes

If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS) is integrated in your notebook, you must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:

• Switch off the radio components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.

• Switch off the radio c omponent s when you are in a hospital, an operating room or near a medical electronics system. The transmitted radio waves can impair the opera tion of medical devices.

• Switch off the radio components when you let the device get near ﬂammable gases or into hazardous environments (e.g. petrol station, paintshops), as the transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a ﬁre.

For information on how to switch radio components on and off, see chapter

LCD screen

LCDscreenNotes

High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH. For technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a speciﬁc resolution. An optimal, clear picture can only be ensured with the correct resolution intended for the relevant TFT monitor. A monitor resolution which differs from the speciﬁcation can result in an unclear picture.

The screen resolution of the LCD monitor of your notebook is optimally set at the factory.

The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels (picture e lements) may be present. The maximum permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-3 (Class II).

Example:

A monitor 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 9241-3 (class II), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark pixels and an additional 5 light or 10 dark subpixels or a corresponding mix may be defective (1 light subpixel co unts as 2 dark subpixels).

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 automatica lly 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 possible for your webcam can be found in the h elp function of the program which uses the webcam.

If you wish to carry out a function test with your webcam, you can use the corresponding test software available at "

Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower 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 exhaust ive 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 chargi n g capacity of the batteries, the battery should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.

Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your notebook (see "

Technical data", Page 70).

Never use force when installing or removing a memory extension.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.

You must open the service compartment to remove or install a memory module. On some devices, opening the compartment may expose other components. These components should be removed and replaced only by authorised specia lists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:

Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the notebook before removing or installing memory modules. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffering burns!

As some components are exposed that are sensitive to static electricity, please take note of chapter "

Troubleshooting and tips

Help if problems occur

Should you at any time have a problem with your computer th at you can’t solve yourself, in many cases you can quickly solve it by using the SystemDiagnostics program which is pre-installed on your computer.

The SystemDiagnostics program is already installed on devices which were delivered with a Windows operating system.

► To start the SystemDiagnostics program, click on Sta rt sym b ol - Program - Fujitsu - SystemDiagnostics. ► If a problem is found during a test run, the SystemDiagnostics program outputs

a code (e.g. DIFS-Code YXXX123456789123).

► Make a note of the output DIFS code and the identity number of your device. The identity

number can be found on the type rating plate on the back of the casing.

► For further clariﬁcation of the problem, contact the Service Desk for your country (see the Service

Desk list or visit the Internet at "

http://ts.fujitsu.com/support/servicedesk.html"). When you do

this, please have ready the identity number and serial number of your system and the DIFS code.

This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a standard modular jack type USOC RJ-11C which is FCC Part 68 compliant and a line cord between the modem and the telephone network with a minimum of 26AWG.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices on one line may result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas the sum of the RENs o f all of the devices should not exceed ﬁve (5). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the RENs, contact your local telephone company. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify y ou in advance. If advance notice is not practical they will notify you as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to ﬁle a complaint with the FCC.

This fax modem also complies with fax branding requirements per FCC Part 68.

Your telephone company will probably ask you to disconnect this equipment from the telephone network until the problem is corrected and you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning. This equipment may not be used on coin-operated telephones pro vided by your telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Contact your state’s public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for more information.

This equipment includes automatic dialing capability. When programming and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:

• Remain on the line and brieﬂy explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.

• Perform such activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.

FCC rules prohibit the use of non-hearing aid compatible telephones in the following locations or applications:

• All public or semi-public coin-operated or credit card telephones.

• Elevators, highways, tunnels (au tomobile, subway, railroad or pedestrian) where a person with impaired hearing might be isolated in an emergency.

• Places where telephones are speciﬁcally installed to alert emergency authorities such as ﬁre, police or m e dical assistance p ersonnel.

• Hospital rooms, residential health care facilities, convalescent homes and prisons.

• Hotel, motel or apartment lobbies.

• Stores where telephones are used by patrons to order merchandise.

L’utilisateur est averti que même la conformité aux normes de certiﬁcation ne peut dans certains cas empêcher la dégradation du service.

Les réparations de l’équipement de télécommunications doivent être effectuées par un service de maintenance agréé au Canada. Toute réparation ou modiﬁcation, qui n’est pas expressément approuvée par Fujitsu, ou toute défaillance de l’équipement peut entraîner la compagnie de télécommunications à exiger que l’utilisateur déconnecte l’équipement de la ligne téléphonique.

AVIS : L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) du présent matériel est d e 0.0. L’IES assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d’une interface peut consister en une combinaison quelconque de dispositifs, à la seule c ondition que la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.

AVERTISSEMENT:

Pour assurer la sécurité, les utilisateurs doivent vériﬁer que la prise de terre du service d’électricité, les lignes télphoniques et les conduites d’eau métalliques sont connectées ensemble. Les utilisateurs NE doivent PAS tenter d’établir ces c onnexions eux-mêmes, mais doivent contacter les services d’inspection d’installations électriques appropriés ou un électricien. Ceci peut être particulièrement important en régions rurales.
