Your LIFEBOOK T...

... is a convertible notebook which works just as well and reliably as a notebook as it does as a tablet
PC. You can put the convertible notebook on the table as a notebook or hold it in your hands as a
tablet PC. Use the keyboard to type or write directly on the display with the pen. The convertible
notebook is always there to support you when you are working on the move.

Your operating system is pre-installed on the hard disk to facilitate the procedure when you use your
notebook for the first time. In addition to the well-known Windows functionality, this operating system
also has handwriting recognition as well as other settings that are specific for its use as a Tablet PC.

Depending on the model, your notebook may be equipped with the new technology "Turbo Memory"
from Intel®. The additional memory guarantees that your notebook will provide faster loading times
(system start-up) and lower power consumption. This memory can be configured using the User
Interface from Intel®.

If you connect the notebook to a port replicator (which is available to order as an optional accessory)
you can enjoy the benefits of a number of additional connection options. The port replicator provides
you with LAN and monitor ports (analogue and digital) and HDMI connection, as well as four USB 2.0
interfaces. Here you can connect peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads,
keyboard, or mouse.

Your notebook has a number of security functions to ensure that no unauthorised persons can
access your data. For example, you can protect access to your data with the security functions in the
BIOS Setup or with the fingerprint sensor.

This operating manual shows you how to start using your notebook and how to operate it in daily
use.

Further information on this device is provided:

● in the "Safety" manual

● in the documentation of the operating system

● in the information files (e.g. *.TXT, *.DOC, *.WRI, *.HLP, *.PDF, *.HTML)

Some of the manuals listed can be found on the "Drivers & Utilities" CD/DVD and on the

using the Acrobat Reader program, which is also on the CD/DVD. If necessary, you can
also make a print version of the manual.

Preparing the notebook for use

Selecting a location

Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following

!

points when looking for a location:

● Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause overheating and damage.

the notebook heats up during normal operation. Long periods of contact with the skin
can become unpleasant or even result in burns.

● Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. Please note that the rubber
feet may mark certain types of surfaces.

● Never place the notebook and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.

● Never cover the ventilation slots or the mains adapter of the notebook.

● Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions.

Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.

Notes about the LCD screen

If you use the device as a tablet PC, you can also use the LCD screen as a touch screen.

i

High-quality TFT displays with especially bright background lighting 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 monitor resolution is understood to be the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (i.e. picture
elements) which make up the monitor display. For example, "UXGA" stands for 1600 x 1200 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a result, a
UXGA monitor consists of 1600 x 1200 x 3 = 5.760.000 subpixels.

Frequently used monitor resolutions Number of pixels

Detailed information on this can be found in the chapter Using the Touch Screen.

XGA 1024 x 768
WSXGA (Wide SXGA) 1280 x 768
WXGA 1280 x 800
SXGA 1280 x 1024
HD 1366 x 768
SXGA+ 1400 x 1050
UXGA 1600 x 1200
WUXGA 1920 x 1200

The correct screen resolution for your notebook is specified in the corresponding section in the
chapter "

Current production technology cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few
isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels (picture elements) may be present. The maximum permitted
number of such faulty pixels is specified in the international standard ISO 9241-3 (Class II).

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 over 3 million subpixels in total. According to ISO
9241-3 (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 be defective.

A26391-K276-Z226-1-7619, edition 2 33

Using your notebook

Pixel A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, 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 addressable internal structure within a

pixel that enhances the pixel function.

Cluster (= group of faults) A cluster contains two or more defective pixels or subpixels in a

5 x 5 pixel block.

Background lighting

TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background lighting can
decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, you can set the brightness of your
monitor individually.

You can use the pen on your notebook as an electronic writing implement to select items and to
navigate through menu options and programs. Programs that support handwriting recognition also
allow you to write characters directly on the screen with the pen. You can also use the pen as a
drawing tool. You can use the eraser (1) on the pen to delete previously written or drawn inputs.

The notebook pen is retained securely in the pen slot. This ensures that the pen cannot be lost,
regardless of whether you use the notebook as a Tablet PC or as a notebook, or transport it while
travelling. Always replace the pen in its slot when you are not using it.

The notebook is supplied with a pen cord which you can attach to the eyelets on the pen and on the

specially designed for your notebook. Replace the stylus tip if it is worn. The warranty does
not cover a scratched screen.

While writing, you should watch out that you do not scratch the surface of the display (e.g.
with a wristwatch or bracelet).

The LIFEBOOK T Series pen of your notebook is an electronic instrument which can be
damaged if used improperly. Handle the pen with care.

The following list contains guidelines for proper pen handling:

● Do not gesture with the pen.

● Do not use the pen as a pointer.

● Never use the pen on any other surface than the screen of your notebook.

● Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen. The thumb grip is used to place the pen

in its slot and to take it out of the slot.

● Never store the pen with the tip bearing the weight of the pen (e.g., sitting tip down in
a pencil cup). If the pen is stored with the tip pointing down, this may have an
adverse effect on the pen mechanism (particularly under high temperatures). In this
case the pen tip may react as though it is constantly being pressed down. To avoid
damage, the pen should be stored in the pen garage when not in use.

The pen can be influenced by electromagnetic fields (cursor quivers or jumps). There may
be a few areas on the screen where the cursor quivers slightly in spite of pressing the pen
down firmly.

The screen reacts to pen input when the distance between the pen tip and the screen is less than
3 to 5 mm.
With the pen you can run all functions for which you otherwise use a mouse. In addition, you can

very conveniently delete hand-written pen entries using the pen.

Select menu entries (click with the left mouse button)

► Touch the menu entry with the pen tip.

Start programs (double-click with the left mouse button)

► Briefly touch the program symbol twice consecutively with the pen tip.

Move objects/windows (drag with left mouse button pressed)

► Place the pen tip directly on the object/window, hold the pen tip pressed against the screen and

move the desired object/window.

Open context menu (click with the right mouse button)

► Touch the desired element with the stylus and leave the stylus on the element for a moment.
Or
► Press the front part of the rocker button (facing toward the pen tip) and simultaneously touch

the corresponding position with the pen tip.

Moving the cursor

► Hold the pen tip less than 3 to 5 mm from the screen and move the pen.

Battery

The battery supplies your notebook with the necessary power during mobile use. You can increase
battery life by enabling the system's power management features.

The life of the battery is dependent on its proper storage, the number of charging/discharging cycles
and the operating temperature of the notebook.

Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

!

Only use batteries approved by Fujitsu Technology Solutions for your notebook.
Take care not to drop batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk).
If rechargeable batteries develop a fault please stop using them immediately.
Do not touch the contacts of batteries.
Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery.
Batteries are harmful to the environment. You should dispose of them following guidance

from your local District Council.

Charging the battery

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter. The battery can only
be recharged if the ambient temperature of the notebook falls within the permitted temperature
range. The time taken to charge the battery depends on its usage. Information on the battery
charging time is contained in the chapter "

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 alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within five
minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

Technical data".

i

Storing the battery

Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower the
temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower is the rate of self-discharge.

If you store rechargeable batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge
level should be approx. 30%. To prevent exhaustive discharge, check the charging level of the
batteries at regular intervals.

If you do not use batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook.

i

Never store batteries in the unit.

Monitoring the battery state of charge

The state of charge of the battery is shown by the battery charging indicator. When you switch on the
device, it takes a few seconds before the battery state of charge is displayed.

Access rights of SmartCards

A new SmartCard initially only has a preset PIN and PUK. Access rights and the customised PIN and
PUK are not assigned until the SmartCard is initialised. The SmartCard type depends on the access
rights assigned to the card, as described below:

● User-SmartCard - system start-up, changing PIN

● Super User SmartCard – Start up system, make changes in BIOS Setup, change PIN

● Service SmartCard – changes in BIOS Setup, operating system boot-up not possible

● Admin SmartCard – Start up system, make changes in BIOS Setup, change PIN, uninstall

SystemLock, initialise SmartCards, unblock SmartCards

The following table shows an overview of the rights associated with each SmartCard type when a
PIN or PUK is entered:

SmartCard user groups

With SystemLock , user groups can be created. This makes it possible to use a SmartCard to start
several systems. A user group consists of at least two systems. Each user that is allowed to start the
systems is provided with a SmartCard. With this SmartCard the user can select a system to start.

Basic information on setting up user groups

During installation of SystemLock the first device in the user group is set up as "Single PC". The
Admin SmartCard generated during this process is used for the user group generation. During
installation, SystemLock sets up each further device as "Group PC". The existing Admin SmartCard
is plugged in, the information is read in and the device is added to the user group. The Admin
SmartCard decides which user group the device belongs to.

If you use CardOS SmartCards, then SystemLock can be administrated with the Windows Program
"SystemLock Admin". With "SystemLock Admin" you can conveniently manage SystemLock at the
operating system level, construct SystemLock organisational units and groups, create SmartCards
for the organisational units or groups, issue access rights at different levels for user cards, as well as
remotely recreate access rights. The PIN or PUK of your SmartCard or the SmartCards of other
users can be changed by you, and you can also reactivate blocked cards.

For a detailed description, see the "SystemLock Admin" help manual.

In order that the users receive access to the systems within a user group, SystemLock must now be
used to create User SmartCards or Super-User SmartCards. By using a User SmartCard or Super­User SmartCard, a user can log into any system within the user group.

Installing SystemLock

During initial installation, the first SmartCard becomes the Admin SmartCard. It has, in combination
with the PUK, all the access rights and should therefore be stored in a safe place. Only an authorised
user (Administrator) may use it, for example to initialise user cards.

If you want to set up a user group, you need an Admin SmartCard. This Admin SmartCard will be
used by you to add further systems to the user group.
