Radiocomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes

If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, LTE) is incorporated into your notebook,
you must be sure to observe the following s afety notes when using your notebook:

• Switch off the radio components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.

• Switch off the radio 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 radio 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.

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 sha rp image can
only be ensured with the resolution intended for th e 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 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 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 cluste r contains two or more defective pixels or

subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

Webcam

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 the webcam with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telepho ny
program or a video conferencing program which supports a webcam).

• When using the w ebcam the notebook support must not wobble.

• The webcam automatically adjusts itself to the current light level. F or this reason
the LC D 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 the help function

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 maintaining 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 17).

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

monitoring the battery charging level

BatteryBatterystatusmet

er

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 environmen t 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 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.

Removing and installing the battery

Only use

batteries approved by Fujitsu for your notebook.

Never us

e force when fitting or removing a battery.

Make su

re that no foreign bodies get into the battery connections.

Never s

tore a battery for long periods in the discharged state. This

can mak

Handling data carriers

Handlin

g

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 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.

You may 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 d rive 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.
