LCD screen

LCDscreenNotes

High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in note books from Fujitsu. For technical reasons,
TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture can o nly
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 a t the factory.

Current production technology cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few
isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of such
faulty pixels is speci fied in the internationa l 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 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 the s

mallest element that can be generated

by complete functi

onality of the display.

Subpixel

A subpixel is a sep

arately addressable internal structure

within a pixel tha

t enhances the pixel function.

Cluster A cluster contains two or more defective pixels or

subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

Background li

ghting

TFT monitors a

re operated with background lighting. The luminosity of th e background

lighting can

decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, you can

set the brigh

tness of your monitor individually.

Fujitsu 35

Working with the notebook

The pen of your notebook is an electronic instrument which can be damaged
if used incorrectly. Handle the pen with care.

The following list contains guidelines for proper pen handling:

• Do not gesture with the pen.

• Do not use the pen as a pointer.

• Never use the pen on any other surface than the screen of your notebook.

• Donottrytoturnthethumbgriponthepen. Thethumbgripisusedto
place the pen in its slot and to take it out of the slot.

• Never store the pen with t he tip bearing the weight of the pen (e.g. with the tip down
in a pen holder). If the pen is stored with the tip pointing down, this may have
an adverse effect on the pen mechanism (particularly under high temperatures).
In this case the pen tip may react as though it is constantly being pressed down.
To avoid damage, the pen should be stored in the pen slot when not in use.

Thepencanbeinfluenced by electromagnetic fields (cursor quivers or

slightly in spite of pressing the pen down firmly.

The screen responds to entries made with the tip of the finger or the pen when the tip
of the finge r or the pen is in direct contact with the screen.

You ca n use the pen to perform all the functions for which you would otherwise use a mouse.
In addition, you can conveniently delete hand-written pen entries using the pen.

Keep the battery pack between 0°C / 32°F and 30°C / 86°F. The lowe r 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 mon ths),
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 ba ttery
should be c ompletely 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.

USBports

On the USB ports, you can connect external devices that also have a USB port
(e.g. a DVD drive, a printer, a scanner or a modem).

USB d evices are hot-pluggable. This means you can connect and disconnect
devices while your operating system is running.

USB 1.x has a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Mbps.

USB 2.0 has a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps.

USB 3.0 has a data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbit/s.

Additional information can be found in the documentation for the USB devices.

USB port with charging function (Anytime U SB charge)

USBchargingfunction

It is recommended that the notebook be operated with the power supply conn ecte d
whenever the USB port with charging function is in use, as this function will drain
the battery more quickly if an external USB device is bein g charged.

The power supply unit must already be connected when the notebook is
switched off, as otherwise the USB charging function will be disabled and
the connected USB devices will not be charged.

Some USB devices (e.g. mobile telephones) require a driver in order to utilize the
USB charging function. In this case the USB charging function will not work when the
notebook is switched off, as no drivers are active when the notebook is switched off.

You can use this

USB port to charge or supply power to a USB device (e.g. to charge a PDA

or a mobile phon

e or to connect a USB lamp), even if the notebook is switched off.

How to remove USB devices correctly

Always correctly remove the device according to the rules described below,
to ensure that none of your data is lost.

Installing and removing memory expansion

MemorymoduleMainmemoryRemovingmemorySystemexpansionSystemexpansi

on

If you are asked by the Hotline/Service Desk to remove and install the memory
expansion yourself, proceed as follows:

Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important no tes", Page 12.

When installing/removing memory modules, the battery must be removed from
the notebook and the notebook must not be connected to the power supply,
see "

Preparing to remove components", Page 84.

Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your
notebook (see "

Technical data", Page 100).

Never use force when installing or removing a memory extension.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.

You must open the service compartment to remove or install a memory module. On some devices,
opening the compartment may expose other components. These components should be removed
and replaced only by authorized specialists. Theref ore, be sure to observe the following:

Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we
recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the notebook before removing
or installing memory modules. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffering burns!

As some components are exposed that are sensitive to static electricity, please take
note of chapter "
