Additional safety notes for devices with
wireless components
If a wireless component (Wire less LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, LTE) is incorporated into your notebook,
you must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:
•Switch off the wireless components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
•Switch off the wireless components when you are in a hospital, an operating
room or near a medical electronics system. The transmitted radio waves
can impair the operation of medical devices.
•Switch off the wireless components when yo u let the device get n ear flammable
gases or into hazardous environments (e.g. petro l station, paintshops), as the
transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.

► Switch off the wireless comp onent 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 wireless 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 m ains 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.
► Contact the relevant authorities of the country you will be travelling in as to
whether you may operate the radio component integrated into your notebook
computer. Please observe the additional safety instructions for devices with radio
components, found in the handbook “Safety/formalities”.
Notebook: transporting
Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures
(e.g. direct sunlight in a car).
► If your device has an optical drive, remove all data media (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives.

Select a suitable location for the device before setting it up. F ollow
the instructions below when doing so:
•Never place the device or the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
The surface could be damaged as a result.
•Never place the device on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,

•The underside of the device heats up during normal operation. Prolonged contact
with the skin may become unpleasant or even result in burns.
•Place the device on a stable, flat, non-slippery surface. Please note that the
rubber feet of the device may mark certain types of delicate surfaces.
•Keep other objects at least 100 mm / 3.97" away from the device and

LCDscreenNotes
High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in Fujitsu notebooks. For technical rea sons,
these screens are manufactured for a particular resolution. An optimum and sharp image can
only be ensured with the resolution intended for the 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.
With the present standards of production technolog y, absolutely flawless screen images
cannot be guaranteed. There may b e a few constantly light or dark pixels (picture
elements) on the screen. The maximum permitted number of such faulty pixels is
specified in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class II).
Example:
A screen with an HD resolution of 1366 x 768 has 1366 x 768 = 1049088 pixels. Each pixel consists
of three subpixels (red, green and blue), making a total of about 3 million subpixels. According to ISO
9241-307 (class II), 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 counts as 2 dark subpixels) are allowed to b e defective.

The WebCam has its own status indicator. The indicator lights up when the WebCam is switched on.
•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 possible for your webcam can be found in the help function
of the program which uses the webcam.
When not plugged into a m ains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You

The notebook battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is

Please note that the battery will not be charged if the battery status is between
90% and 100% . If the battery status is less than 90% and the mains adapter is

If the battery status is low, you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect
the mains adapter within approximately five minutes of the warning alarm described
above, your notebook will switch off automatically.

Chargingcap
Store battery packs in a dry environm ent at a temperature between 0°C / 32°F and 30°C / 86°F. 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 (more than tw o 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 intend to use a battery for long periods of time, remove it from

•Never place the port replicator on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture, bed).
This can block the air vents of the notebook and cause overheating and damage.
•Place the port replicator on a stable, flat and non-slip surface. Please note that the
port replicator’s rubber feet may mark certain types of surface.
•Never place the port replicator and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
•Do not expose the port replicator to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the port replicator from dust, humidity and heat.

Preparing to remove components
If you are going to remove or change system components, prepare for the removal as follows:
Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important notes", Page 12.
Remove the power plug from the mains outlet !
► Switch the device off.
The device must not be in energy-saving mode !
► Close the LCD screen.
► Remove all the cables

► Turn the device over and place it on a stable, flat and clean surface. If necessary, lay an
anti-slip cloth on this surface to prevent the device from being scratched.
If you are asked by the Hotline/Service Desk to remove and install the memory
expansion yourself, proceed as follows:

Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we
recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the notebook before removing
