LCD screen

LCDscreenNotes

High-quality TF T displays are installed in notebo oks from Fujitsu Technology Solutions Gmb H. For technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a speciﬁc resolution. An optimal, c lear 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 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 an d 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

subpixels, normally red, green and

blue. A pixel is the s

mallest element that can be generated

by complete functi

onality of the display.

Subpixel

A subpixel is a sep

arately addressable internal structure

within a pixel tha

Cluster A cluster contains two or more defective pixels or

subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

Webcam

Depending on the software used, you can use your Webcam to take pictures, record video clips or take part in web chats.

• The picture quality depends on the lighting conditions and the software being used.

• You can only operate th e webcam with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telephony program or a video conferencing program w hich 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 b e found in the h elp function of the program which uses the webcam.

If you wish to carry out a function test with your webcam, you can use the corresponding test software available at "

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 ba tteries for a longer period (longer than tw o months), the battery charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent exh aust ive 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 use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.

Observe the following guidelines when handling data carriers:

• Avoid touching the surface of a data carrier. Only handle data carriers by th eir 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, mechanical vibrations and direct sunlight.

• Avoid storing a data carrier in areas subject to high temperatures or hu m idity.

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

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

Troubleshooting and tips

Help if problems occur

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

yourself, in many cases you can quickl y solve it by using the SystemDiagnostics

program which is pre-installed on your computer.

The SystemDiagnostics program is already installed on devices which were

delivered with a Windows operating system.

► To start the SystemDiagnostics 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 th e output DIFS code and th e identity number of your device. The identity

number can be found on the type 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 "

http://ts.fujitsu.com/support/servicedesk.html"). When you do

this, please have ready the identity number and serial number of your system and the DIFS code.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance w ith the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.

3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from the one the receiver is connected to.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Please note the following regulatory information related to the optional radio device.

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement

This radio device has been evaluated u nder FC C Bulletin OET 65C and found compliant with the requirements as set forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b) (4) addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices. The radiated output power of this radio device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevert heless, this device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. When using this device, a certain separation distance between antenna and nearby persons must be maintained to ensure RF exposure compliance. In order to comply with RF e xposure limits esta blished in the ANSI C95.1 standards, the distance between the antennas and the user should not be less than 20 cm (8 inches).

Regulatory Notes and Statements Radio device, health and authorisation for use

Radio-frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from the wireless devices. The energy levels of these emissions, however, are far much less than the electrom agnetic energy emissions from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Radio devices are safe for use by consumers because they operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety stand ards and recommendations.

The use of the radio devices may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as:

• on board an airplane, or

• in an explosive environment, or

• in situations where the interference risk to o ther devices or services is perceived or identiﬁed as harmful.

In cases in which the policy regarding use of radio devices in speciﬁc environments is not clear (e.g., airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, private buildings), obtain authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment.
