Additional safety notes for devices with wireless components

Wirelesscomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes

If a wireless component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, LTE) is incorporated into your note book,
you must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using y our not ebook:

• 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 you let the device get near 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 wireless components on and off, see chapter

LCD screen

LCDscreenNotes

High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in Fujitsu notebooks. For technical reasons,
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 technology, absolutely flawless screen images
cannot be guaranteed. There may be a few constantly ligh t 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 w ith an HD resolution of 1366 x 76 8 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 be defective.

Camera

Depending on the software used, you can use your camera to take pictures,

The camera has its own statu s indicator. The status indicator lights up when the camera is active.

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

• You can only use the camera with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telephony
program or a video conferencing program which supports a camera).

• When using the camera, the notebook support must not shake.

• The camera automatically adjusts itself to the current light level. For this reason the

Rechargeable battery

When not plugged into a mains socket, the 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 ad vant age of the available energ y saving functions.

Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

BatteryBattery

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
(see "

Mains adapter connecting", Page 17).

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 m ains adapter is
connected, the battery will be charged to 100%.

When the battery state of charge is low, a message from the operating system appears.
If you do not connect the ma ins adapter within about 5 minutes of the message
appearing, your notebook will automatically switch off.

Monitoring the battery charging level

Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When
you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.

Chargingcap

Store battery packs in a dry environment at a temperature between 0 °C / 32 °F and 30 °C / 86 °F.
The lower the temp erature at which the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.

If you will be storing batteries for a longer pe riod (more than two months),
the batte ry 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.

Removing and installing the battery

Only use batteries approved by Fujitsu for your notebook.

Never use force when fitting or removing a battery.

Make sure that no foreign bodies get into the battery connections.

Never store a battery for long periods in the discharged state. This
can make it impossible to recharge.

Erase Disk

Erase Disk is a Fujitsu Technology Solutions feature embedded in the system firmware (UEFI:
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), to erase all data from SATA hard disk(s) or SSDs.

This function can be used to delete all data from internal hard disks or SSDs, before the hard disks
are discarded or the complete computer system is disposed of. The function can also be used if
hard disks are to be completely deleted, e.g. before installing a new operating system.

The application can only be selected and run if an administrator/supervisor
password has been assigned (Menu BIOS Setup - Security).

► Select the hard disk(s) to be deleted. The selected hard disk(s) will be deleted one-by-one.

Erase Disk offers four deletion options, from fast (with one deletion pass) to very
secure (with 35 deletion passes). Depending on the algorithm chosen, th e process
can take between ~10 seconds and ~10 minutes per GB:

• Zero Pattern (1 pass)

• German B SI/VSITR (7 passes)

• DoD 5220.22-M ECE (7 passes)

The complete deletion process can be recorded as an audit-compliant log
and copied to an external USB stick, which must be formatted as FAT32.
Please connect only one external USB stick.

The user can select the following tasks which should be run by the
system after the deletion process:

• Reset administrator and user password

• Load BIOS setup defaults

• Shutdown the Computer

• Exit E rase Disk with no additional op tion s upon completion
