High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in Fujitsu notebooks. For technical rea sons,
these screens are manufactured for a certain resolution. An optimum and sharp image can
only be ensured with the resolution intended for the particular screen. A screen resolution
which d iffers from the specification can result in an unclear picture.
The resolution of your notebook’s screen is optimally set at the factory.
Current production techno logy 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 specified in the international 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 maximum 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.

We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCard s
in a safe place if you are carrying the other SmartCard with you.
In order to be able to take advantage of all the security features of your notebook, you
will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.
The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN, offering maximum protection even if
you lose the SmartCard. In order to maximise your security, the CardOS SmartCard
is disabled if three incorrect attempts are made to enter the PIN.
When you use the CardOS SmartCard for the first time, you will either need to enter the
preset PIN "12345678" or the PIN given to you by your systems administrator.
Inserting the SmartCard
Do not use force wh en inserting and removing the SmartCard.

Preparing to remove components
If you are going to remove or change system components, prepare for the removal as follows:
Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important notes", Page 12.
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 12.
When installing/removing memory modules, the battery must be removed from
the notebook and the n otebook must not be connected to the power supply,
Preparing to remove components", Page 66.
see "
Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your
notebook (see "
Technical specifications", Page 79).
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 authorised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we
recommend that you wait one hour after switch ing 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 "

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 other devices or services is
perceived or identified as harmful.
In cases in which the policy regarding use of radio de vices in specific environments is not
clear (e.g., airp orts, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, private buildings), obtain
authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment.
