LCD screen

LCDscreenNotes

High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH. For
technical reasons, TFT monitors are m an ufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear
picture can only be ensured with the c orrect 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 f ault-free screen
display. A few isolated con stan t lit or unlit pixels (picture elements) may be pre sen t. The maximum
permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-3 (Class II).

Example:

A m onitor 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 counts as 2 dark subpixels).

Pixel

A pixel consists of 3 subpixe

ls, normally red, green and

blue. A pixel is the smallest

element that can be generated

by complete functionality

of the display.

Subpixel

A subpixel is a separately a

Cluster A c luste r contains two or more defective pixels or

subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energ y 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 and max. 35°C.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter
(see "

Mains adapter connecting", Page 16).

You can increase the life of your battery by allowing it to fully discharge before recharging it again.
To do this, leave your notebook turned on when it is operated with the battery. Once the battery
is running low you will hear a warning a larm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within five
minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

Battery storage

BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,battery

Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which
the batteries are stored, the lower the r ate of s elf-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 recharg ed.

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

Removing and installing the battery

Only use rechargeable batteries approved by F ujitsu Technology
Solutions for your notebook.

Never use force when fitting or removing a battery.

Make sure that no foreign bodies get into the battery connections.

Never store a battery for longer periods in the discharged state. This

Observe the following guidelines when handling data carriers:

• Avoid touching the surface of a data carrier. Only handle data carriers by their edges.

• Always store data carriers in their cases. This will protect the data carrier against
being covered in dust, scratched or damaged in any other way.

• Protect your data carriers against dust, mechanica l v ibrations and direct sunlight.

• Avoid storing a data carrier in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.

You may use both 8-cm and 12-cm data carriers in the opt ical drive.

When using a data carrier of lesser quality, vibrations and reading errors may occur.

Depending on the device configuration level, your notebook is equipped
with a SmartCard reader.

SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCards that comply with
the ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.

With the appropriate software you can use your SmartCard as an alternative to password protection,
but also as a digital signature, for encrypting your e-mails or for home banking.

We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards
in a safe place if you are carrying the other SmartCard with you.

In order to be able to take advantage of all the security features of your notebook, you
will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN, offering maximum protection even if
you lose the SmartCard. In order to maximise your security, the CardOS SmartCard
is disabled if three incorrect attempts are made to enter the PIN.

When you use the CardOS SmartCard for the first time, you will either need to enter the
preset PIN "12345678" or the PIN given to you by your systems administrator.

Inserting the SmartCard

Do not use force when inserting and removing the SmartCard.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the SmartCard reader.

Microsoft® BitLocker BitLocke r Drive Encr yption (BDE) is a feature of Microsoft® Vista

It is also p ossible to use BitLocker without TPM and only to use
the USB dongle for storing the crypto key. This option is mainly of
interest if Vista is installed on a computer on which TPM is not
installed or an older version (before Version 1.2) is installed.

A requirement for BitLocker is that you must have set up at least
two partitions on your hard disk. The first partition contains the

Troubleshooting and tips

Help if problems occur

Should you at any time have a problem with your computer that you can’t solve

yourself, in many cases you can quickly solve it b y using th e SystemDiagnostics

program which is pre-installed on your computer.

The SystemDiagnostics program is already installed on devices which were

delivered with a Windows operating s ystem.

► To start the SystemDiagnost

ics program, click on Startsymbol - 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 typ

e 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 "

Your notebook may be supplied with an interna l modem which complies with Part 68 of the
FCC rules. On this notebook is a label that contains the FCC Registration Number and the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipm ent among other information. If requested,
the user must provide their telephone company w ith the following information:

1. The telephone number to which the notebook is connected.

2. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment.

3. The equipment requires a standard modular jack type USOC RJ-11C
which is FCC Part 68 co mpliant.

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 of 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 you
