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 specifi cation can result in an un clear picture.

The screen resolution of the LCD mon itor of your notebook is optimally set at the factory.

The standard of production techniques tod ay cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels (picture elements) may be present. The maximum
permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-3 (Class II).

Example:

A m onitor 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 9241-3 (class II), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark pixels and an additional 5 light or 10 dark
subpixels or a corresponding mix may be defective (1 light subpixel c oun ts as 2 dark subpixels).

Pixel

A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, normally red, green a nd
blue. A pixel is the smallest element that can be generated
by complete functionality 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.

Background lighting

TFT monitors are operated with backgro und lighting. The luminosity of the background
lighting can decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, you can
set the brightness of your monitor individually.

Webcam

Webcam

Depending on the software used, you can use your Webcam to take pictures,
record video clips or take part in web chats.

• The picture quality depends on the lighting conditions and the s oftware being used.

• You can only operate the webcam with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telephony
program or a video conferencing program which supports a webcam).

• When using the webcam the 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 use of the webcam and additional settings can be found
in the help function of the program which uses the webcam.

Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

BatteryBattery

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

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

Mains adapter connecting", Page 16).

You c an increase the life of you r battery by allowing it to fully discharge before recharging it again.
To do this, leave your notebook turned on while operated by the battery. Once the battery is running
low, you will he ar a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within five minutes of
the warning alarm described above sounding, your notebook will automatically switch off.

Keep the battery pack between 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 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.

ensemble. Les utilisateurs NE doivent PAS tenter d’établir ces connexions eux-mêmes,
mais doivent contacter les services d’inspection d’installations électriques appropriés
ou un électricien. Ceci peut être particulièrement important en régions rurales.

Regulatory Notes and Statements
Radio device, health and authorisation for use

Radio-frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from the wireless devices. The energy levels
of these emissions, however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from
wireless devices such as mobile phones. Radio devices are safe for use by consumers because
they operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.

The use of the radio 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 o ther devices or services is
perceived or identified as harmful.

In cases in which the policy regarding use of radio 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.
