When not plugged into a power outlet, the notebook runs on its built-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 batte ry life by taking advantage of t h e available energy saving functions.

Charging, caring for and maintaining the ba ttery

The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 41°F and max 95°F/ 5°C and max 35°C.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the AC adapter

(see "

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 wa rning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

BatteryBatterystatusmet

Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When you place the mouse po inter on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.

Battery storage

BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,battery

Keep the battery pack between 32°F and 86°F/ 0°C and +30°C. 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 leve l 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.

Recycling your battery

Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batt eries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a brand new one*. If you replace it, it is importa nt that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental dam age if disposed of improperly.

Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services 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 many convenient locations throughout the United States and Canada. To ﬁnd the location nearest you, go to "

If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website "

Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and we should make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.

* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site

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 , and other governments around the world helping us save money w h ile prot ecting the environment through energy efﬁcient products and practices. With energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, Fujitsu 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 computer also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network links. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the S uspend/R esume Button.

Energy saving beneﬁts:

Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualiﬁed mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment – saving 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 greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.

How to Handle This Device

The WLAN device is an optional device that may c om e 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 been pre-conﬁgured to support the WLAN device.

• Integrated Intel Centrino wireless LAN devices support IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.

• The WLAN device operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.

• Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the same 2.4 G Hz frequency 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 interfe re 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.
