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 money while protecting the environment.

Energy saving under Windows

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

Page 36").

Touchscreen/LCD screen without touch function (device-dependent

)

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.

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 such faulty pixels is speciﬁed in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class II).

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 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.

Pixel

A pixel con sists of 3 subpixels, 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 addressable internal structure within a pixel that enhances the pixel function.

Cluster A cluster conta

ins two or more defective pixels or

subpixels in a

5 x 5 pixel block.

Background lighting

TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background lighting can decrease during the period of use of the notebook. How ever, you can set the brightness of your monitor individually.

When not plugged into a mains socket, the no tebook runs o n its bu ilt-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 t he available energy saving functions.

Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

BatteryBattery

The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is betw een 5°C and max. 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 you do not conn ect the mains adapter within ﬁve minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

BatteryBatterystatusmet

Windows a lso 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

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 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 rechargeable batteries approved by Fujitsu Technology Solutions for your notebook.

Never use fo rce when ﬁtting or removing a battery.

Make sure that no foreign bo dies get into the battery connections.

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

Handling data carriers

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 c overed 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 areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.

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.

CD/DVD indicator

CD/DVDindica

tor

The CD/DVD indicator ﬂashes when a data carrier is inserted. The indicator goes out when the drive is ready for re ading. The indicator lights up when the drive is being accessed. You m ay only remove the data carrier when the indicator is unlit.

If the CD/DVD indicator does not go out after a data carrier has been inserted, but instead continues to ﬂash, this means that the drive cannot access the data carrier.

Either the data carrier is damaged or dirty or you are using a data carrier that the drive cannot read.
