Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS) is integrated in your notebook, you
must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:
•Switch off the radio components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
•Switch off the radio c omponent s when you are in a hospital, an operating room or near a medical
electronics system. The transmitted radio waves can impair the opera tion of medical devices.
•Switch off the radio components when you let the device get near flammable
gases or into hazardous environments (e.g. petrol station, paintshops), as the
transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.
For information on how to switch radio components on and off, see chapter

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 specification can result in an unclear picture.
The screen resolution of the LCD monitor of your notebook is optimally set at the factory.
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels (picture elements) may be presen t. The maximum
permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-3 (Class II).
Example:
A monitor w ith 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 maxim um 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 counts as 2 dark subpixels).

Preparing to remove components
If you are going to re move or change system componen ts, prepare for the removal as follows:
Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important notes", Page 13.
Remove the power plug from the mains outlet !
► Switch the device off.
The device must not be in energy-saving mode !
► Close the LCD screen.
► Remove all the cables
from the device.
► Turn the device over and place it on a stable, flat and clean surface. If necessary, lay an
anti-slip cloth on this surface to prevent the device from being scratched.
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 notes", Page 13.
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 "
Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your
notebook (see "
Technical specifications", Page 84).
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 ma y expose other components. These components should be removed
and replaced only by authorised specialists. T herefore, 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 "

Troubleshooting and tips
Help if problems occur
Should you at any time have a problem with your computer th at you can’t solve
yourself, in many cases you can quickly solve it by using the SystemDiagnostics
program which is pre-installed on your computer.
The SystemDiagnostics program is already installed on devices which were
delivered with a Windows operating system.
► To start the SystemDiagnostics program, click on Sta rt sym bol - Program - Fujitsu - SystemDiagnostics.
► If a problem is found during a test run, the SystemDiagnostics program outputs
a code (e.g. DIFS-Code YXXX123456789123).
► Make a note of the output DIFS code and the identity number of your device. The identity
number can be found on the type rating plate on the back of the casing.
► For further clarification of the problem, contact the Service Desk for your country (see the Service
Desk list or visit the Internet at "
http://ts.fujitsu.com/support/servicedesk.html"). When you do
this, please have ready the identity number and serial number of your system and the DIFS code.
