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 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.

Important notes

Energy saving

NotesEnergyEnergysaving

Switch the notebook off when it is not in use. Switch off external, connected device s 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 r echa rge the battery.

Energy efficiency is increased and the environmental 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-management features",

Page 39).

First-time setup of your device

Selecting a location

SelectingalocationDeviceMainsadapter

Select a suitable location for the device before setting it up. Follow
the instructions below when doing so:

• Never place the device or the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
The surface could be damaged as a result.

• Never place the device on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause overheating and damage.

• The underside of the device heats up during normal operation. Prolonged contact
with the skin may become unpleasant or even result in burns.

• Place the device on a stable, flat, non-slippery surface. Please note that the
rubber feet of the device may mark certain types of delicate surfaces.

• Keep other objects at least 100 mm away from the device and its
mains adapter to ensure adequate ventilation.

• Never cover the ventilation slots of the device.

• Do not expose the device to extreme environmental conditions. Protect
the device from dust, humidity, and heat.

Mains adapter connecting

PreparingforoperationMainsadapter

Observe the safety notes in the enclosed "Safety/Regulations" manual.

The supplied power cable conforms to the requirements of the country in
which you purchased your device. Make sure that the power cable is approved
for use in the country in which you intend to use it.

When an approved 2-pin mains adapter is connected, you may feel a slight tingling
when you touch the top of the aluminium housing. The combination of a mains adapter
without protective earth and m eta llic h ousing parts causes a very weak electrical
current. This effect is harmless. The device meets all relevant safety standards.

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 intended 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 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 specified in t he 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 subpixels (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 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 en hances the pixel function.

Cluster A cluste r contains two or more defective pixels or

subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature
is between 5°C and ma x. 35°C.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter
(see "

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.

Battery storage

BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,battery

Keep th e battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower th e temperature at which
the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of s elf-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.

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 ab le to take advantage of all the security features of your notebook, you
will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

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
