- Starting Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook

DO NOT CARRY THE LIFEBOOK AROUND WITH POWER ON OR SUBJECT IT TO VIBRATION OR SHOCKS; DOING SO COULD DAMAGE THE LIFEBOOK.

When you Power On your LIFEBOOK, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LIFEBOOK will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the POST, your LIFEBOOK will load your operating system.

EVER TURN OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN

YOU TURN YOUR LIFEBOOK ON THE NEXT TIME.

Boot Sequence

The procedure for starting-up your LIFEBOOK is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your system’s BIOS. When the system is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your system. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your LIFEBOOK, it goes through a boot sequence that displays a Fujitsu logo until the operating system is found. During booting, your LIFEBOOK performs a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

• You turn on the power to your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook.

• You restart your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook from [Settings] -> [Power] menu.

• The software initiates a system restart; for example, when you install a new application.

Booting the System

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.

When you turn on your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Starting Windows the First Time

After you boot up the system the first time and follow the instructions on the screen, you will eventually come to the Welcome window. After sign-in, it takes less then a minute for the computer to boot to Windows; during that time the progress bar and interactive messages are displayed on the screen.

During the course of the first start up, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs) for Microsoft and Fujitsu.

YOU CANNOT USE YOUR NOTEBOOK UNTIL YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE LICENSE AGREEMENT. IF YOU STOP THE PROCESS YOUR NOTEBOOK WILL RETURN

TO THE BEGINNING OF THE WINDOWS WELCOME PROCESS, EVEN IF YOU SHUT YOUR NOTEBOOK DOWN AND START IT UP AGAIN.

Several additional windows will appear, prompting you to enter a name and description for your computer, an Administrator password, and a domain name. Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in the information as directed.

Following first boot, you will arrive at the Modern start sc reen. Some useful shortcuts for your reference: Press the Windows + D keys to go to traditional Windows desktop or press Windows + M keys to load the traditional Windows desktop and minimize all applications.

Installing Bonus Apps

After you have started your system the first time, you will see a Bonus Apps icon on your desktop. Click on

the icon to see which additional applications are available for you to install. You can also access Bonus Apps by opening the Charms panel from the Modern Start screen and searching for "Fujitsu BonusApps". Applications that are already installed appear in grey; those that are available for installation appear in blue.

- Starting Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook

Select the applications you wish to install by selecting the checkbox adjacent to your selection, or click [Select All] if you would like to install all available applications. Once you have made your selections, click [Install].

Note that in some cases (depending upon which application was selected for installation) after installation completes, the system will prompt you to reboot. There are also cases in which if multiple applications are selected to install but one of them needs a reboot, the system will reboot and continue installing the rest of the selected applications.

Registering your LIFEBOOK with Fujitsu

You can register your notebook by going to our website at: http://www.us.fujitsu.com/computers. You will need to be set up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to register online.

Power Management

Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system.

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your LIFEBOOK into Sleep mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.

Power and Suspend/Resume Button

When your LIFEBOOK is active, the Power and Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put it into Sleep mode. Push the Power and Suspend/Resume button when your LIFEBOOK is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. Your system will enter Sleep mode.

If your LIFEBOOK is suspended, pushing the Power and Suspend/Resume button will return your system to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Sleep mode by looking at the Power indicator which is part of the Suspend/Resume button. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your LIFEBOOK is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your LIFEBOOK is in Save-to-Disk (Hibernation) mode.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode saves your LIFEBOOK’s system memory contents during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting.

Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook can be put in Sleep mode by:

• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.

• Clicking the power icon on the lock menu.

• Selecting Sleep from the [Settings] -> Power] menu.

• Timing out from lack of activity.

- Power Management

• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

Your LIFEBOOK’s system memory typically stores the files on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support the operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode, your LIFEBOOK will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power and Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your LIFEBOOK will not resume.

• IF YOU ARE RUNNING YOUR LIFEBOOK ON BATTERY POWER, BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DISCHARGE WHILE YOUR SYSTEM IS IN

LEEP MODE, THOUGH NOT AS FAST AS WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL.

• DISABLING THE SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK ULTRABOOK IN SLEEP OR SAVE-TO-DISK

MODE. THE RESUME FUNCTION OF THE BUTTON CANNOT BE DISABLED.

• THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) MODE SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH CERTAIN PC CARDS. CHECK YOUR PC CARD DOCUMENTATION

FOR MORE INFORMATION.

• WHEN PC CARDS OR EXTERNAL DEVICES ARE IN USE, HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) MODE CANNOT RETURN TO THE EXACT STATE PRIOR TO

SUSPENSION BECAUSE ALL OF THE PERIPHERAL DEVICES WILL BE RE-INITIALIZED WHEN THE SYSTEM RE-STARTS.

• IF YOUR LIFEBOOK IS ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER SLEEP OR HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) MODE, CHANGES TO OPEN FILES

ARE NOT LOST. THE FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS KEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEP MODE, OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE DURING HIBERNATION MODE.

• THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING THE HIBERNATION FUNCTION IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR DATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY

IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR LIFEBOOK IN A SUSPENDED STATE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING

IBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THE POWER DOWN AND POWER UP SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.

• YOUR SYSTEM IS SET TO USE THE MAX BATTERY POWER SCHEME WHEN RUNNING ON BATTERY POWER. IF YOU CHANGE THE POWER SCHEME TO A

DIFFERENT PROFILE, YOUR BATTERY LIFE MAY VARY.

Faster Startup

The LIFEBOOK UH572 Ultrabook uses a combination of Intel® Rapid Start Technology and Condusiv™ ExpressCache® to allow your system to wake quickly and return to the files and applications you use the most. This faster wakeup results in saving you time and helps to extend your battery life.

Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Feature

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your LIFEBOOK’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.

- Power Management

Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature

The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:

1 From the Modern Start screen, press [Windows]+[X]. Select Control Panel f rom the menu, then select Power

Options.

2 Select “Choose what the power button does” or “Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your selections (Do

Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).

Windows Power Management

The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the LIFEBOOK on battery power or one of the adapters.

Restarting the System

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.

1 From Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows] + C or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the

screen). Click [Settings] -> [Power].

2 Select Restart from the list.

TURNING OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK ULTRABOOK WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR SYSTEM WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE SYSTEM BEING

SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU START THE NEXT TIME.

Power Off

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your LIFEBOOK shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.

- Power Management

• ALWAYS POWER OFF THE COMPUTER BEFORE TRANSPORTING AND/OR PACKAGING IT. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM, WAIT UNTIL THE

STATUS LED PANEL INDICATES POWER OFF CONDITION (I.E., NO LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED).

• IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE UNIT MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY GO TO POWER OFF OR HIBERNATE MODE WHEN YOU CLOSE THE LID. THIS SITUATION

MAY OCCUR DUE TO PRE-OS BOOT PASSWORD SECURITY SETTINGS OR SOME OTHER APPLICATION RUNNING ON THE COMPUTER.

• ATTEMPTING TO TRANSPORT THE COMPUTER WHILE POWER IS ON MAY DAMAGE THE LIFEBOOK DUE TO SHOCK OR OVERHEATING SINCE THE AIR

VENTS MAY BE BLOCKED OR RESTRICTED.

E SURE TO CLOSE ALL FILES, EXIT ALL APPLICATIONS, AND SHUT DOWN YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE POWER. IF FILES ARE

OPEN WHEN YOU TURN THE POWER OFF, YOU WILL LOSE ANY CHANGES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED, AND MAY CAUSE DISK ERRORS.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows]+C) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the screen), then click [Settings]->[Power]. Select Shut down from the list.

If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more see the Care and Maintenance Section.

System Reset

Ordinarily, you power down your system by clicking on the small arrow at the bottom right of the Windows Start menu then clicking Shut Down. You can also use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to power down the system by holding it down for approximately five seconds. This can be useful if the system is “hung up”, but it shouldn’t be used as the normal means of shutdown, however.

If you cannot power down your systems by either of these methods, you can use the RESET button on the bottom of your Ultrabook (See Figure 6 for location). This method should only be used as a last resort when traditional methods do not work. To shut down your system with the RESET button, first disconnect any AC adapter that may be connected. Insert a small tool such as the tip of a paper clip into the opening and press the button for a couple of seconds. If you power down your system with the RESET button, be sure to plug in an AC adapter before turning it back on.

About the Lithium-Polymer Battery

Your LIFEBOOK has an internal Lithium-Polymer battery that provides power for operating your system when no external power source is available. The rechargeable battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals, or other hazards. For information on maximizing your battery life, refer to the section entitled “Power Management” on page 37.

The Lithium-Polymer battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

• Your system is set to use the Max Battery power scheme when running on battery power. If you change the power

scheme to a different profile, your battery life may vary.

• When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C (40°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme temperatures not

only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range. See

“Power Indicator” on page 18.

THE INTERNAL LITHIUM-POLYMER BATTERY CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED FUJITSU TECHNICIAN. ANY ATTEMPT BY THE END-USER TO

ACCESS AND REPLACE THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM. REMOVAL OF THE COMPONENT COVER BY THE END-USER WILL VOID THE SYSTEM WARRANTY. FOR ASSISTANCE, GO TO HTTP://WWW.COMPUTERS.US.FUJITSU.COM/SUPPORT

ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER

CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE OR HARD DRIVE USAGE MAY ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON BATTERY LIFE. THE BATTERY CHARGING CAPACITY IS REDUCED AS THE BATTERY AGES. IF YOUR BATTERY IS RUNNING LOW QUICKLY, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR FUJITSU SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

Recharging the Battery

If you want to know the condition of the Lithium-Polymer battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.

The Lithium-Polymer battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery, simply connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.

- About the Lithium-Polymer Battery

MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR AND THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS DISPLAYED BY THE BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR ON THE S

TATUS INDICATOR PANEL.

There is no memory effect on the Lithium-Polymer battery, therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your LIFEBOOK is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your LIFEBOOK into Standby mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the battery will continue to discharge until too low to operate. When this happens, your LIFEBOOK will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will not be lost once the LIFEBOOK reaches this point. Note that you can change the state in which the battery goes into Sleep mode in the Control Panel “Power” properties.

• ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK INTO STANDBY

MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. ATTACH AN AC POWER ADAPTER OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

• WHEN YOU ARE IN STANDBY MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF YOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE

YOUR LIFEBOOK ULTRABOOK IS IN STANDBY MODE, ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your LIFEBOOK goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power from an AC adapter. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook while the adapter is charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel displays the battery status via the Battery Status indicator to show the charge level available in that battery. If the display is flashing red, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced by Fujitsu technicians.

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 while protecting 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:

If you are powering your system with a power adapter, 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. If you are powering your system with the battery, your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 10 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 Suspend/Resume 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.

Restoring Your System Image and Software

It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image and Bootable Disc before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the instructions in the “Saving Your Factory Image” and “Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs” sections of this chapter.

Saving and Recovering Your Factory and System Images

Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other important procedures, such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system images, managing your images, and restoring the partitions on a hard drive.

• IN ORDER TO MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES AND BURN BOOTABLE DISCS YOU MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNALLY

CONNECTED WRITABLE DVD DRIVE.

• IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COPY YOUR FACTORY IMAGE TO REMOVABLE MEDIA (E.G., DVD DISCS). FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT

IN AN INABILITY TO RESTORE THE IMAGE AT A FUTURE DATE.

• WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE DVD-R OR DVD+R DISCS FOR YOUR BACKUP, BUT SUPPORTED MEDIA* FOR IMAGE BACKUPS INCLUDE:

FOR FACTORY IMAGE, APPLICATION DATA, AND BOOTABLE DISC: DVD-R/+R. FOR USER-CREATED BACKUP IMAGE: DVD-R/+R, DVD-RW/+RW, DVD-DL.

* DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKUPS.

DUE TO CERTAIN LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, SOME THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED SEPARATELY.

Saving your Factory Image

When you purchased your new system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.

To make a copy of the Factory Image to DVD discs, you will need four or five blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are recommended) to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.

- Restoring Your System Image and Software

Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Bootable Disc

Using the [Manage/Change] button, you can create backup images of the Factory Image and/or Bootable Disc.

ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.

1 Launch System Backup and Restore from the desktop icon and click [Yes] on the User Account Control dialog. 2 Click [Next] on the Backup Your Data screen. 3 Select the [Manage/Create] tab, then click [Make Recovery Disc set] to burn your factory image to DVD. 4 On “Step 1: Please select a media type for Recovery Disc” screen select Media Type from the drop down box, then

click [Next]. (Note: This screen shows the number of discs required for backup.)

5 On “Step 2: Confirm your Recovery Disc” both the Bootable Disc and Recovery disks are selected by default under

“List of Recovery Discs”. When the backup is created for the first time, these options should stay selected. Click [Next].

6 Click [OK] on the “Attention about media” confirmation screen.

DURING THE FOLLOWING PROCESS, YOU SHOULD CONNECT AN AC ADAPTER SINCE THE PROCESS MAY TAKE A LONG TIME.

7 Click [Start] on “Step 3: Making Recovery Disc” . 8 The process will prompt you to insert your discs. 9 Once the process completes successfully, click [Finish] on “Step 4: Making Recovery Disc process has been

The distance between the centers of the letter keys of a keyboard.

Pixel

The smallest element of a display, a dot of color on your display screen. The more pixels per area the clearer your image will appear.

POST

Power On Self Test. A program which is part of the BIOS which checks the configuration and operating condition of your hardware whenever power is applied to your LIFEBOOK. Status and error messages may be displayed before the operating system is loaded. If the self test detects failures that are so serious that operation can not continue, the operating system will not be loaded.

PPPoE

Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet. A protocol for Ethernet, using a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), which is used for connection on the phone line.

Protocol

Procedures and rules use to send and receive data between computers.

- Method of sending and receiving data

- Process used to handle communication errors Conditions required for communication are organized in procedures for correct transfer of information.

Restart

See Reset.

Resume

To proceed after interruption. In your LIFEBOOK this refers to returning to active operation after having been in one of the suspension states.

SDRAM

Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory.

Shared key authentication

802.11 network authentication method in which the AP sends the client device a challenge text packet that the client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no key, authentication will fail and the client will not be allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentication is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the same challenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the key.

SSID

Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security to the network.

Standby

To make inoperative for a period of time. Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook uses various suspension states to reduce power consumption and prolong the charge of your battery.

Status Indicator

A display which reports the condition of some portion of your hardware. On your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook this is an LCD screen just above the keyboard.
