LCD screen
LCDscreenNotes
High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in Fujitsu notebooks. For technical reasons,
these screens are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture can
only be ensured in the resolution intended for the particular monitor. A resolution which
differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.
The resolution of the 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 (picture elements) may be present. The maximum permitted
number of such faulty pixels is specifie d in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class II).
Example:
A monitor 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. A ccording to ISO
9241-307 (class II), a m aximum 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 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 two or more defective pixels or
subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

Rechargeable battery
BatteryBatteryServicelife,batteryRechargeablebatteryBattery
During use as a portable, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase
the service life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average battery
service life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery service 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 if the ambient temperature is between
5°C / 41°F and a m a ximum of 35 °C / 95°F.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the AC adapter
(see "
Connecting the AC adapter", Page 18).
If the battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the AC adapter
within five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.
Monitoring the battery state of charge
Batterybatterychargemet
er
Windows also has a "Battery charge meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the
battery capacity. When you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the
system displays the state of charge of the battery.
Battery storage
BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargecapacity,battery
The battery should be stored in a dry environment at a temperature between 0°C / 32°F and
30°C / 86°F. The lower the storage temperature, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer pe riod (more 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 optimum capacity of the ba ttery, you should allow
the battery to fully discharge and then recharge it.
If you w ill not use batteries for long periods, remove t hem from the
notebook. Never store 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.

Recycling your battery
Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a
shorter amo unt of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs,
you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important
that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that
could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.
Fujitsu is very c oncerne d with environmental protection , and has enlisted the service s of the
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a nonprofit public service organization
dedicated to protecting our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.
RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and
Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to "
www.RBRC.org" or call 1-800-822-8837.
If there are no convenient RBRC loca tions near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer
Education Initiative website "
http://EIAE.org/ " and search for a convenient disposal location.
Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and we must
make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.

ENERGY STAR Compliance
Your Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PC. By
choosing a computer with the latest energy-saving technology, you’re
helping to preserve our environment for future generations. ENERGY
STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
U.S. Department of Energy, Natural Resources Canada, an d other
governments around the world helping us save money while protecting
the environment through energy efficient products and practices. With
energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for c onsumers, F ujitsu is
committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy
and improve the quality of our environment.
Sleep mode:
You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of
user inactivity, and the computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When
going into Sleep mode, the c omputer also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet netw ork
links. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the Suspend/Resum e Button.
Energy saving benefits:
Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard
equipment – s aving half in utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference
for the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the
greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you flip on a light
switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more greenhouse
gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency,
the more we help to reduce greenhou se gases and the risks of global warming.

Regulatory Notes and Statements
Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use
Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of
these emissions, however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless
devices such as mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use by c onsu m ers because they
operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations. The
use of Wireless LAN 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 Wireless LAN 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.
Regulatory Information/Disclaimers
Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance with the instructions
included in the user documentation provided with the product. Any changes or modifications made
to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to

FCC Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comp ly with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment g enerat es,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If 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 installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving 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 connected to.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated w ith
using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave ra nge while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposure have
not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
might occur, but such findings have not been con firmed by additional research.
The wireless LAN radio device has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
The exposure standard for w ireless devices employs a unit of me asurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by t he FCC is 1.6W/kg, and 1.6W/kg by Industry Canada.
This device is compliant with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and Canada RSS 102, and had been tested in accordance with
the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C,
and Canada RSS 102. This device has been tested, and meets the FCC , IC RF exposure
guidelines when tested with the device operating conditions.
Déclaration de la FCC/d’Industrie Can ada sur l’expositio n
aux radiofréquences
La norme régissant l’exposition des appareils sa ns fil aux radiofréquences emploie une unité
de mesure dénommée Taux d’absorption spécifique, ou TAS. La FCC et Industrie Canada ont
défini la même limite de TAS : 1,6 W/kg. Cet appareil est conforme au TAS pour les limites
d’exposition générales de la population/non contrôlées définies par les règles C95.1-1992 de
l’ANSI/IEEE et RSS 102 d’Industrie Canada ; il a été testé en conformité avec les méthodes
et procédures de m esure spécifiées dans le supplément C du bulletin 65 de l’OET (Office
d’ingénierie et de technologie) et la règle RSS 102 d’Industrie Canada. Cet appareil a été testé
selon les directives de la FCC et d’IC concernant l’exposition aux radiofréquences et s’est révélé
conforme à ces dernières lorsqu’il a été testé en contact direct avec le corps.

Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device
Ad Hoc Mo
de
"Ad Hoc M
ode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity
betwee
n multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically
known a
s Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer
fashi
on. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc
netwo
rks are an easy and inexpensive method for es tablishing network connectivity between
multi
ple computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryption
key s
ettings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.
Fujitsu 87

Appendix
Access Point (Inf
rastructure) Mode
Infrastructure
mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with
wireless or wir
ed network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure
mode, wireless
devices can communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate
wireless netwo
rks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the WLAN in
order to acces
s services, devices, and computers (e.g., file servers, printers, data bases).

How to Handle This Device
The WLAN d evice is an optional device that may come pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under
normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Operating
System that your mobile computer comes with has b een pre-configured to support the WLAN device.
• Integrated Intel Centrino wireless LAN devices support IEEE802.11a,
IEEE802.11 b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.
• The WLAN device operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the 5 G Hz
lower, middle, and upper UNI I bands.
• Microwave ovens may interfere with the operat ion of WLAN devices since they operate in the
same 2.4 GHz frequen cy range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices. Interference by microwaves
does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.
• Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN
devices in IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput,
intermittent disconnects, and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these
interfering devices be powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN device.

Image Backup and Recovery Procedures
Thank you for purchasing a Fujitsu computer. Fujitsu is committed to bringing you
the best computing experience with your new system.
It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Recovery I m age and Bootable Disk
before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the instructions in the “Creating a
Backup of Bootable Disk and Recovery Image” section of this document.
It is also important that you create a copy of the software that is essential for your system to access the
internet (hereafter called “essential access software”) to external writable media or an external drive.
To do so, follow the instructions in the “Creating a Backup of the System-Specific Software Drivers”.

Appendix
Creating a Backup of Bootab le Disk and Recovery Image
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the r ecove ry image was loaded into a
hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the recovery image available to
you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it and re-install
the essential access software u s in g Fujitsu Software Auto Installer.
To make a c opy of the recovery image to DVD disks, you will ne ed three or four blank
disks to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the disks and keep
them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.
Note: If your system does not have an internal writable DVD drive, connect your
system to an external drive* before beginning the following steps.
1. Launch System Restore and Recovery from the desktop icon. It will allow you to create
the Bootable Disk and the Recovery Image Disk Set.
2. On “Step 1: S elect the Bootable Disk from the list”:
a. Select a media type.
b. Notice the number of disks that are needed for the set.
c. Click Next to proceed.
3. On “Step 2: Confirm your Recovery Disk”, click Next.
4. On “Step 3:” follow the on-screen instructions to make the disk or disk set, then click
Start. It takes approximately 20 minutes to make one disk.
5. On “Step 4”, when the disk creation is completed, a message appears.
Click Finish to exit the program.
6. Repeat Step 1: Select Recovery Disk from the list and repeat the above
steps 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 3, 4 and 5.
* DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA
TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKU PS.
