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 sharp image can only be ensured with the resolution intended for the 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 (picture elemen ts) 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 subp ixels (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 b e defective.

Pixel

A pixel consists

of 3 sub pixels, normally red, green and

blue. A pixel is t

he smallest element that can be generated

by complete fun

ctionality of the display.

Subpixel

A subpixel is a

separately addressable internal structure

within a pixel

that enhances the pixel function.

Cluster A cluster contains tw o or more defective pixels or

subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

Webcam

Depending on the device variant, a WebCam may be i ntegrated in your notebook.

Depending on the software u

The WebCam has its own stat

us indicator. The indicator lights up when the WebCam is switched on.

• The picture quality depe

nds 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 s upports a webcam).

• When using the web cam th

e 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 the help function of the program which uses the we bcam .

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 m aintaining 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 "

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

Store battery packs in a dry environment 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.

SmartCard reader

Securityfunctions,Securityfunctions

Depending on the device conﬁguration level, your notebook is equipped with a SmartCard reader.

SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCa rds that comply with the ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.

With the appropriate software you can use your SmartCard as an a ltern ative to password protection, but also as a digital signature, for encrypting your e-mails or for home banking.

We recommend that you always use tw o SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards in a safe place if you are carrying the other SmartCard with you.

In order to be able to take advantage of all the security features of your notebook, you will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fujitsu.

The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN, offering maximum protection even if you lose the SmartCard. In order to maximise your security, the CardOS SmartCard is disabled if three incorrect attem pts are made to enter the PIN.

When you use the CardOS SmartCard for the ﬁrst time, you will either need to enter the preset PIN " 12345678" or the PIN given to you by your systems administrator.

Inserting the S

martCard

Do not use force when inserting and removing the SmartCard.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the SmartCard reader.

► Slide the SmartCard into the SmartCard

reader with the chip facing upwards (on some variants it faces down) and to the front.

USB port with charging function (Anytime USB charge)

USBchargingfunction

It is recommended that the notebook be operated with the power supply connected whenever the USB port with charging function is in use, as this function will drain the battery more quickly if an external USB device is being charged.

The power supply unit must already be connected when the notebook is switched off, as otherwise the USB charging function will be disabled and the connected USB devices will not be charged.

Some USB devices (e.g. mobile telephones) require a driver in order to utilise the USB charging function. In this case the USB charging function will not work when the notebook is switched off, as no drivers are active when the notebook is switched off.

You can use this

USB port to charge or supply power to a USB device (e.g. to charge a PDA

or a mobile phon
