Additional safety precautions for devices with wireless LAN
If a wireless LAN component is integrated in your notebook, you must be sure to observ e the
following safety precautions when using your notebook:
• The transmitted radio waves can cause an unpleasant humming in hearing ai ds.
• Switch off the notebook when you are in an aircraft or driving in a c ar.
• Switch off the radio com ponents on the notebook when you are in a hospit al , an operating
room or near a medical electronics system. The transmitted radio waves can impair the
operation of the medical devices.
• Keep the notebook at least 20 c m from a pacemaker, as otherwis e t he proper operation of the
pacemaker may be impaired by radi o waves.
• Do not let the notebook near flamm abl e gases or into hazardous environments (e.g.
paintshops) with radio component s switched on, as the transmitted radio waves can cause an
explosion or a fire.
• The range of the radio connection is dependent on environmental and ambient condit i ons.
• With data traffic vi a a wi rel ess connection, it i s also possible for unauthoris ed third parties to
receive data.
The company Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH cannot be held respons i bl e f or radi o or television

Important notes
Notes on installing and removing boards and modules
Only qualified technici ans should repair the device. Unaut hori sed opening or incorrect
repair may greatly endanger the user (electric shock, fire risk).
!
Boards with electrost at i c sensitive devic es (ESD) are identifiable by t he l abel shown.
When you handle boards fitted with E SDs, you must, under all circumstances, observe the following
points:
• You must static al l y discharge yourself before working with boards (e.g. by touc hi ng a grounded
object).
• The equipment and tools you use mus t be free of static charges .
• Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removi ng boards containing
ESDs.
• Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
• Never touch pins or conduct ors on boards fitted with ESDs.
Energy saving
If you will not be using your notebook, switch it off.
Make use of the device' s energy saving functions (see "Working with the notebook"). The notebook
uses less power when the power management feat ures are enabled. You will then be able to work
for longer before having to recharge the bat t ery.
Energy saving under Windows
If a monitor with energy saving features is connect ed to your notebook, you can use t he Screen Saver
tab to activate the energy saving features of the monitor. Select the followi ng i t em in the start menu:
Settings - Control Panel - Display - Display Properties - Screen Saver - Energy saving functions for the
display. You can set additional energy saving functions in the start menu by selecti ng t he following
item: Settings - Control Panel - Energy - Extended.

Important notes
Storing the battery
If you do not use the batteri es for long periods, remove them f rom the notebook. Never
store the batteries in the uni t.
i
Store the battery in a full y charged state. The battery should be stored in a dry area at a
temperature between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the t em perature at which the batteries are s tored,
the lower is the rate of self-discharge.
If storing for a long period of t i m e (l onger t han two months) batteries should be fully charged before
storage.
To be able to use the optimum battery charging capacity, you should work in the battery mode until
the battery is completely discharged, and then recharge t he battery.
Transporting the notebook
Please observe the points l i sted below when transporting your notebook .
Before you travel
• Back up important data s t ored on your hard disk.
• Switch off the radio com ponent (Wireless LAN) for securi t y reasons when youn cannot excl ude
that the transmitted radi o waves can negatively aff ect electrical and elect roni c devices in your
surrounding area.
• If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, firs t check with the flight attendants if it is
permissible to do so.
• If you are travelling abroad, ensure that the power adapter can be operated with t he l ocal
mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate power adapter for your notebook.
Do not use any other voltage converter!
If you travel in another c ount ry, check whether the loc al power supply and the
specifications of the power cable are compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable
i
that matches the loc al conditions. Do not use a connec tion adapter for electrical dev i ces
to connect the notebook.
If you use a modem, incompatibilities wit h t he loc al t elec ommunications system may
result.

including interference that m ay cause undesired operation of this device.
FCC Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digi t al device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules . These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interferenc e i n a residential installation. Thi s equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy. I f not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installati on.

Manufacturer’s notes
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radi o or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to t ry and correct the
interference by one or more of the f ol l owi ng m easures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receivi ng antenna.
2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from the one the receiver is connect ed
to.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
Please note the following regulat ory information related to the opt i onal radi o device.
FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement
This radio device has been evaluat ed under FCC Bulletin OET 65C and found compliant wi t h the
requirements as set fort h i n CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093, and 15. 247 (b) (4) addressing RF
Exposure from radio frequency devices. The radiated output power of this radio device is far below
the FCC radio frequency exposure lim i ts. Nevertheless, this device shall be used i n such a manner
that the potential for human c ontact during normal operation is mi ni m i zed. When using this devic e, a
certain separation distance between antenna and nearby persons must be maintained to ensure RF
exposure compliance. I n order t o comply with RF exposure lim i t s established in the ANSI C95.1
standards, the distance between the antennas and the user should not be l ess than 20 cm (8
inches).
Regulatory Notes and Statements
Radio device, Health and Authori zation for use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emi t ted
from the radio devices. The energy levels of these emis sions, however, are far much l ess than the
electromagnetic energy emi ssions from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Radio devices are
safe for use by consum ers because they operate within the gui delines found in radio frequency
safety standards and rec om m endations.
The use of the radio devices may be restricted in some s i tuations or environments, such as:
• On board an airplane, or
• In an explosive environment , or
• In situations where the interference risk to other devi ces or services is perceived or identified
as harmful.
In cases in which the poli cy regarding use of radio devices i n specific environments is not clear
(e.g., airports, hospitals, chemical/oi l /gas industrial plants, pri vate buildings), obtain authorization to
use these devices prior t o operating the equipment.
Regulatory Information/Disclaimers
Installation and use of t hi s radio device must be in s t ri ct accordance with the instructions included in
the user documentation provided wi th the product. Any changes or m odi fications made to this
device that are not expressly approved by the manufact urer may void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment. The manufacturer i s not responsible for any radio or tel evision interference caus ed
by unauthorized modificat i on of this device, or the s ubstitution or attachment of connecting cables
and equipment other than those specified by the manufacturer. It is the responsibility of the user to
correct any interference caused by such unauthorized modi f i cation, substitut i on or attachment. The
manufacturer and its authorized resellers or dis tributors will assume no liability for any damage or
violation of government regulations arising from failure t o comply with these guidelines.
