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 resolutio n intended for the relevant TFT monitor. A monitor resolution which differs from the speciﬁ cation can result in an unclear picture.

The screen resolution of the LCD mon itor of your notebook is optimally set a t 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 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 and 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

t enhances the pixel function.

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 WebCam has its own status indicator. The indicator lights up when th e WebCam is switched on.

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

• You can only operate the webcam with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telephony program or a video conferencing program which 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 be found in t he help function of the program which uses the w ebcam.

If you would like to perform a function test of your web cam, there is suitable test software available at "

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 maintaining the battery

BatteryBattery

The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and ma x. 35°C.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter (see "

Mains adapter connecting", Page 17).

If the battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If yo u do not connect the mains adapter within ﬁve minutes of 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 d isplays the battery status.

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 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.

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.
