LCD screen

LCDscreenNotes

High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in Fujitsu noteboo ks. 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 th e 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 elements) 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 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 co unts as 2 dark subpixels) are allowed to be defective.

Store battery packs in a dry environment at a temperature between 0°C / 32°F and 30°C / 86°F. T he lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lowe r 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.

Securityfunctions,Securityfunctions

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

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

We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCard s 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.

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

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 attempts 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.
