Important notes

Energy saving

NotesEnergyEnergysaving

Switch the notebook off when it is not in use. Switch off external, 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 mon ey while protecting the environment.

Energy saving under Windows

► Make use of the power management features (see ""Using the power-management features",

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.

Current production technology cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A
few isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of
faulty pixels is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class 4).

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 almost 3 million subpixels in total. According to ISO
9241-307 (class 4), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark p ixels and in a ddition 5 light or 10 dark subpixels
or an equivalent mix (1 light subpixel counts as 2 dark subpixels) are allowed to be defective.

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

t enhances the pixel function.

Cluster A cluster contains tw o or more defective pixels or

subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

• When using the web cam the noteb ook 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.

Rechargeable battery

RechargeablebatteryBatteryLife,batteryRechargeablebatteryRechargeablebattery

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 advantage of the available energy saving functions.

Charging, caring for and m aintaining the battery

BatteryBattery

The notebook 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 16).

If the battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter
within five minutes o f the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

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.

Battery storage

BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,battery

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 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 chargin g capacity of the batte ries, 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.

If the device will not be used for a period of more than two days, remove the
batteries from the device so that their state of charge is maintained.

Removing and installing the battery

Only use batteries approved by Fujitsu for your notebook.

Never use fo rce 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.

Handling

Observe the following guidelines when handling data carriers:

• Avoid touching the surface of a data carrier. Only handle data carriers by their edges.

• Always store data carriers in their cases. This will protect the data carrier against
being covered in du st, scratched or damaged in any other way.

• Protect your data carriers against dust, mechanical vibrations and direct sunlight.

• Avoid storing a data carrier in are as subject to high temperatures or humidity.

You can use data carriers with a diameter of 8 cm / 3.15" or 12 cm / 4.7" in the drive.

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

Technical data", Page 64).

Never use force when installing or removing a memory extension.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.

You must open the service compartment t o remove or install a memory module. On some devices,
opening the compartment may expose other components. These components should be removed
and replaced only by auth orised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:

Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we
recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the notebook before removing
or installing memory modules. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffering burns!

As some components are exposed that are sensitive to static electricity, please take
note of chapter "

Notes on installing a nd removing boards and component s", Page 46.

• on board an airplane, or

• in an explosive environment, or

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

In cases in wh ich 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.
