Innovative technology...
and ergonomic design make your AMILO Pro the ideal easy to use and reliable notebook.
Your notebook is available in several different versions. Most of the sections in this manual apply to
all models - any differences are pointed out separately. Some of the illustrations and features in this
manual may differ from your model and are for guidance only.
Your operating system Windows XP is already pre-installed and optimally configured. That means
you're ready to start when you switch on your AMILO Pro for the first time.
Your notebook features the very latest technology so that you get the best performance from your
computing experience. Depending on which model you own, you have access to:
● Up to 2 Gbyte Mbyte of main memory (RAM)
● A combination drive (CD-RW/DVD) or a multi-format DVD drive with double-layer support for
playing DVD films or writing CDs/DVDs
● An FireWire connection* for high speed devices such as digital camcorders
● Four USB ports which provide easy expansion with webcams, game pads, printers and more
● An internal modem for connecting to the internet
● A PC card slot (CardBus or PCMCIA) for using a type II PC card
● An onboard sound card and stereo speakers for your audio enjoyment.
You can even connect headphones, a microphone and external speakers for even better
performance.
With the user-friendly BIOS Setup Utility you can control the hardware of your notebook and protect
your system better against unauthorised access by using the powerful password properties.
This operating manual tells you how to put your AMILO Pro into operation, and how to operate it in
daily use.
Further information about your AMILO Pro can be found:
● in the manuals "Safety" and "Warranty"
● in the "Wireless LAN" manual

Important notes
Energy saving
If you will not be using your notebook, switch it off.
Make use of the device's energy saving functions (see "Using your notebook"). If you use the
possible energy saving functions, the notebook uses less energy. You will then be able to work for
longer before having to recharge the battery.
Energy saving under Windows
If a monitor with energy saving features is connected to your notebook, you can use the Screen Saver
tab to activate the energy saving features of the monitor. Select a screen saver via Start – (Settings) -
Control Panel - Appearance and Themes - Display - Screen Saver.
You may set further energy saving functions in the menu Start - (Settings) - Control Panel - Performance
and Maintenance - Power Options.
Travelling with your notebook
Please follow these guidelines when travelling with your notebook.
Before you travel
● Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
● Switch off the radio component (Wireless LAN) for security reasons when youn cannot exclude
that the transmitted radio waves can negatively affect electrical and electronic devices in your
surrounding area.
● Switch off the radio component (Wireless LAN) for data security reasons. With data traffic via a
wireless connection, it is also possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data.
● If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight attendants if it is OK to
do so.
● If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the local mains
voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for your notebook.
Do not use any other voltage converter!
● Make sure that the rated current of the mains adapter is not higher than that of the power
system to which you connect the mains adapter (see technical data of the mains adapter).
Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation for your
radio component.

Important notes
When travelling in other countries
● Check whether the local power supply and the specifications of the power cable are
compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions. Do not
use a connection adapter for electrical devices to connect the notebook.
● Enquire with the corresponding government office of the country you will be travelling in as to
whether you may operate the radio component integrated in your notebook there (also see
"Manufacturer’s notes").
● If you use the modem, incompatibilities with the local telecommunications system may result.
This may result in poor performance, or the modem will not work at all.
You may require a country-specific telephone adapter (available as an accessory).
Transporting the notebook
● Remove all disks (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives.
● Switch the notebook off.
● Unplug the mains adapter and all external devices from the power socket.
● Disconnect the mains adapter cable and the data cables for all external devices.
● Close the LCD screen so that it locks into place.
● If the device needs to be shipped, use the original packaging or other suitable packaging to
protect it from damage caused by mishandling.
● To protect against damaging jolts and bumps, use a notebook carrying case to transport your
notebook.
Fujitsu Siemens Computers offers a number of solutions for transporting your notebook.
Current offers can be found on the Internet under www.fujitsu-siemens.com/accessories.
● Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight in a
car).
Cleaning the notebook
► Switch the notebook off.
► Unplug the mains adapter from the mains socket.
► Remove the battery.
Wipe the casing with a dry cloth.
If particularly dirty, use a cloth which has been moistened in mild domestic detergent and then
carefully wrung out.
To clean the keyboard and the touchpad, you can use disinfectant wipes.
Wipe the LCD screen with a soft, moistened cloth.
A26391-K183-Z121-1-7619, edition 1 5
Do not clean any interior parts yourself; leave this job to a service technician.
!
Only use cleaning products designed for computers. Normal household cleaners and
polishes can damage the markings on the keyboard and the device, the paintwork or the
notebook itself.
Ensure that no liquid enters the notebook.

Preparing the notebook for use
Please take note of the information in the "Important notes" chapter.
!
Upon delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment and is not charged. Before
putting the notebook into operation, the battery must be completely charged.
The operating system Windows°XP and drivers required are preinstalled. Before you can use your
notebook for the first time you need to install the supplied software.
When not plugged into a mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the
battery's life by enabling the system's energy saving functions.
When you use your notebook in your home or office, we recommend you use the mains adapter
instead of the battery.
Please see the "Connecting external devices" chapter for instructions on how to connect devices
such as a mouse and a printer to the notebook.
Unpacking and checking your notebook
► Unpack all the individual parts.
► Check your notebook for damage incurred during transportation.
Should you discover damages incurred during transportation, notify your local sales outlet
immediately!
i
Do not discard the original packing material of the devices. You may need the packaging
in the future if you need to transport your device.
A26391-K183-Z121-1-7619, edition 1 11
Preparing the notebook for use
Selecting a location
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following
points when looking for a location:
!
● Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause overheating and damage.
● Do not place the notebook on your legs for a longer period of time. The underside of
the notebook heats up during normal operation. Longer contac with the skin can
become unpleasant or even result in burns.
● Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. Please note that the rubber
feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
● Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its mains adapter to ensure
adequate ventilation.
● Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the mains
adapter.
● Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.
