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
Switching the wireless components on and off", Page 68.

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 e lements) may be present. The maximum
permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-3 (Class II).
Example:
A monitor 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 9241-3 (class II), a maximum 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 co unts as 2 dark subpixels).

Working with the notebook
The pen of your notebook is an electronic instrument which c an be damaged
if used incorrectly. Handle the pen with care.
The following list contains guidelines for proper pen handling:
• Do n ot 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.
• Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen. The thumb grip is used to
place th e pen in its slot and to take it out of the slot.
• Never store the pen with the 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
jumps). There may be a few areas on the screen where the cursor quivers
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 finger or the pen is in direct contact with the screen.
You can 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.

Calibrating the pen
Before using the pen for the first time, you should calibrate it so that the cursor follows the
movements of the pen as accurately as possible. You should also always repeat the calibration
if the co-ordination betwe en the pen and cursor movement deteriorates.
Please note: There are separate calibration programs available for calibrating
the stylus pe n and for calibrating finger-based operation. In each case, use the
calibration tool described in the supplementary sheet. Do not use the calibration

Replacing the pen tip
With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up foreign particles that can
scratch the screen. A damaged or worn tip may not move freely over the screen,
causing unpredictable results when using the pen.
If your pen exhibits these problems, you should replace the pen tip. To do this, use the supplied tool (1).
► To remove the tip, position the tip in the gap
between the two ends of the tool supplied.
► Pinch the two ends of the supplied tool
together so that the tip is firmly clasped,
then pull it fro m the barrel.
► Replace the tip of the pen with one of
the spare tips supplied with your pen.
Insert the flat end of the tip into the
barrel and exerting gentle pressure, push
it in until it is firmly in place.

SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all S martCards that comply with
the ISO stand ard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These SmartCards are available from various ma nufacturers.
With the appropriate software yo u can use your SmartCard as an alternative to password protection,
but also as a digital signature, for encrypting your e-mails or for home b anking.
We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards
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 Ca rdO S 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.

SmartCard user groups
SmartCard
User groups can be set up using SystemLock. This enables several systems to be started with one
SmartCard. A user group consists of at least two systems. Ea ch user that is allowe d to start the
systems is provided with one SmartCard. The user can start any of the systems using this SmartCard.
Basic information on setting up user groups
When installing SystemLock,thefirst PC in the user group is set up as a "Single PC". The
Admin SmartCard generated during this process is used to set up the user group. SystemLock
sets up each additional device as a "Group PC" during installation. The existing Admin
SmartCard is inserted, information is read in and the device is added to the user group.
The Admin SmartCard determines which user group the device belongs to.
If you use FSC-CardOS SmartCards, SystemLock can be administered via the Windows
program "SystemLock Admin". "SystemLock Admin" allows you to conveniently manage
SystemLock at the op erating system level, create SystemLock Organisation Units and Groups,
generate SmartCards for these Organisation Units or Group s, assign access rights for user
cards at various levels and restore access rights using remote access. You can also change
the SmartCard’s PIN or PUK for yourself and othe r users and reactivate blocked cards.
