LCD screen

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 specication 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 awless 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 specied in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class II).
Example:
A screen with an HD re solution 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 allow ed to be defective.

The notebook’s rechargeable 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
Mains adapter connecting", Page 20).
(see "
Please note that the battery will not be charged if the battery state of charge is between 90% and 100%. If the battery state of charge is less than 90 % and the mains adapter is connected, the battery will be charged to 100%.
When the battery state of charge is low, a message from the operat ing system appears. If you do not connect the mains adapter within about 5 minutes of the message appearing, your notebook will a utomatically switch off.

Store battery packs in a dry environment at a temperature between 0°C / 32°F and 30°C / 86°F. The lower the temperature at which the batte ries 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 the notebook. N ever store a battery in the device.
If the device will not be used for a period of more tha n two days, remove the batteries from the device so that their state of charge is maintained.

SmartCard reader (conguration dependent)
Securityfunctions,
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. A lways 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.
Depending on the device conguration level, your notebook is equipped with a SmartCard reader.
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 f or the rst time, you will either need to enter the preset PIN "12345678" or the PIN given to you by your systems administrator.
