Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components

Radiocomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes

If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS) is integrated in your notebook, you
must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:

• Switch off the radio compone nts 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 compone nts 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 radio components on and off, see chapter

"

Switching the wireless components on and off", Page 39.

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 enviro nmental 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-m anagement features",

Page 34).

Travelling with you

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 resolution i ntended 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 y our notebook is optimally set at the factory.

The standard of production techniques today c annot 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 1 280 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 e lement 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.

Background li

lighting can

decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, you can

set the brigh

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

• 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 telephony
program or a video conferencing program which supports a webcam).

• When using the webcam the notebook support must not wob ble.

• 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 webca m and on the additional settings
which are possible for your webcam can be found in the help function
of the program which uses the we bcam .

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 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 16).

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.

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.

Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which
the batteries are s tored, 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 batt ery, check the level
of charge of the battery at regular intervals.

To be able to make u se of the optimal charging 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.

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 th eir edges.

• Always store data carriers in their cases. This will protect the da ta carrier against
being covered in dust, 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.

If you are asked by the Hotline/Service Desk to remove and install the memory
expansion yourself, proceed as follows:

Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important notes", Page 12.

When installing/removing memory modules, the battery must be removed from
the notebook and the notebook must not be connected to the powe r supply,
see "

Preparing to remove components", Page 50.

Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your
notebook (see "

Technical data", Page 66).

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 to 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 authorised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:

Individual components can become very hot during operation. T herefo re, 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 compone nts are exposed that are sensitive to static electricity, please take
note of chapter "

Regulatory No tes and Statements
Radio device, health and authorisation for use

Radio-frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from the wireless devices. The energy levels
of these emissions, however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from
wireless devices such as mobile phones. Radio devices are safe for use by consumers because
they operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.

The use of the radio devices may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as:

• 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 which 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.
