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 c ompone nts when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.

• Switch off the radio 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 radio components when you let the device ge t ne ar 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

"

Switching the wireless components on and off", Page 69.

Energy saving

NotesEnergyEnergysaving

Switch the notebook off when it is not in use. Switch off extern al, connected devices if you
are not using them. If you use the energy saving functions, the notebook uses less energy.
You will then be able to work for longer before having to recharge the battery.

Energy efficiency is increased and the environmental impact is reduced.
You save money while protecting the environment.

Energy saving under Windows

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 elements) 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 8 00 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 ligh t subpixel counts as 2 dark subpixe ls).

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

ddressable internal structure

within a pixel that enhance

s the pixel function.

Cluster A cluster contains two or more defective pixels or

subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

Background lighting

TFT monitors are operate

d with background lighting. The luminosity of the background

lighting can decrease du

ring the period of use of the notebook. However, you can

set the brightness of you

r monitor individually.

ay on the LCD screen and an external monitor

Ambient light sensor

If your notebook was shipped with the Windows 7 operating system, the screen brightness is
regulated by means of the ambient light sensor and depending on the respective light conditions.
This results in optimum readability and longer battery life at the same time.

Using the stylus pen

You can use the pen on yo

ur notebook as an electronic writing implement to select

items and to navigate t

hrough menu options and programs. Programs that support

handwriting recogni

tion also allow you to write characters directly on the screen with

the pen. You can also u

se the pen as a drawing tool.

The notebook pen is ret

ained securely in the pen slot. This ensures that the pen cannot be

lost, regardless of w

hether 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 supp

lied with a pen cord which you can attach to the eyelets

on the pen and on the n

otebook.

Only use the pen pro

vided with your notebook. Do not use substitute pen tips

that were not speci

ally designed for your notebook. Replace the stylus tip if it

is worn. The warra

While writing, you

should take care not to scratch the surface of the

display (e.g. wit

36 Fujitsu Technology Solutions

Working with the notebook

The pen of your notebook is an electronic instrument which can be damaged
if used incorrectly. 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 s lot.

• Never store the pen with the tip bearing the weight of the pen (e.g. with the tip down
in a pen holder). 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 slot when not in use.

Thepencanbeinfluenced 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 pe n down firmly.

The screen responds to entries made with the tip of the finger or the pen when the tip
of the finger or the pen is in direct contact with the screen.

You can use the pen to perform all the functions for which you would otherwise use a mouse.
In addition, you can conveniently delete hand-written pen entries using the pen.

Handling Mouse Pen

Selecting menu entries Click with the left-hand mouse

button.

Replacing the pen tip

With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up foreign particles that can
scratch the screen. A damaged or worn tip may not move freely over the screen,
causing unpredictable results when using the pen.

If your pen exhibits these problems, you should replace the pen tip. To do this, use the supplie d tool (1).

► To remove the tip, position the tip in the gap

between the two ends of the tool supplied.

► Pinch the two ends of the supplied tool

together so that the tip is firmly clasped,
then pull it from the barrel.

► Replace the tip of the pen with one of

the spare tips supplied with your pen.
Insert the flat end of the tip into the
barrel and exerting gentle pressure, push
it in until it is firmly in place.

If the tip is worn or damaged, discard it.

Installing a pen cord

You should attach the pen with a pen cord to prevent accidentally dropping or losing it.

► Attach the end of the pen cord with the smaller loop to your pen.
► Attach the end of the pen cord with the larger loop to your notebook.

When not plugged into a mains socket, th e notebook runs on its built-in battery. You
can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average
battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.

You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy 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 18).

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 while operated by the battery. Once the battery is running
low, you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not conne ct the mains adapter within five minutes of
the warning alarm described above sounding, 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 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 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 ba ttery

should be completely discharged a

nd then fully recharged.

If you do not use the batteries for

long periods, remove them from the

notebook. Never store the batte

Securityfunctions,Securityfunctions

SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCa rds 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 y our e-mails or for home banking.

We recommend that you always use tw o 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 not ebook, you
will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fu jitsu Technology Solutions.

The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN, offering maximum p rotection 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.

► Slide the SmartCard into the SmartCard

reader with the chip facing upwards (on
some variants it faces down) and to the front.

SmartCard as software protection (SmartCase™Logon+)

Together with a CardOS SmartCard, software like SmartCase™Logon+ gives you the
option of logging on with the SmartCard and entering your PIN. If the PIN is entered
correctly, SmartCard is checked and the operating system is booted. The SmartCard must
remain in the SmartCard reader during the entire work s ession.

In addition, the software allows you to b lock your computer during breaks. This allows
you to leave your notebook unattended, without the risk of unauthorised persons
being able to access your opened documents and data.

The settings for blocking access to the computer during a session are set up in
SmartCase

Logon+ under OS Logon (Smarty). Among other things, Smarty allows

you to specify how users should log on to the operating system, e.g.:

• Fingerprint (without a SmartCard)

• Windows password

• SmartCard with PIN, with fingerprint or with PIN and fingerprint
To install, configure and use SmartCase

that you change both PIN and PUK without fail.

Additional software (e.g. Smarty) is required so that the system can also check that
the correct SmartCard is inserted while the system is running.

Access rights of SmartCards

SmartCardSmartCardSmartCard

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: starting the system, changing the PIN

• SuperUser SmartCard: starting the system, changes in BIOS Setup, c hanging the PIN

• Service SmartCard: changes in BIOS-Setup,, cannot start the operating system

• Admin SmartCard: starting the system, changes in BIOS Setup, changing the PIN,

SmartCard user groups

SmartCard

User groups can be set up using SystemLock. This enables several systems to be started with one
SmartCard. A user group consists of at least two systems. Each user that is allowed to start the
systems is provided w ith one SmartCard. The user can start any of the systems using this SmartCard.

Basic information on setting up user groups

When installing SystemLock,thefirst PC in the user group is set up as a "Single PC". The
Admin SmartCard generated during this process is used to set up the user group. SystemLock
sets up each additional device as a "Group PC" during installation. The existing Admin
SmartCard is inserted, information is read in and the device is added to th e user g roup.
The Admin SmartCard determines which user group the device belongs to.

If you use FSC-CardOS SmartCards, Syste mLock can be administered via the Windows
program "SystemLock Admin". "SystemLock Admin" allows you to conveniently ma nage
SystemLock at the operating system level, create SystemLock Organisation Units and Groups,
generate SmartCards for these Organisation Units or Groups, assign access rights for user
cards at various levels and restore access rights using remote access. You can also change
the SmartCard ’s PIN or PUK for yourself and other users and reactivate blocked cards.
