LCD screen

LCDscreenNotes
High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu. For technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a specic 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 specication can result in an unclear picture.
The screen resolution of the LCD monitor of your notebook is optimally set at the factory.
Current production technology 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 specied 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.

You can use the pen on your notebook as an electronic writing implement to select items and to navigate th rough menu options and programs. Programs that support handwriting recognition also allow you to write characters directly on the screen with the pen. You can also use the pen as a drawing tool.
The notebook pen is retained securely in the pen slot. This ensures that the pen cannot be lost, regardless of whether you use the notebook as a Tablet PC or as a notebook, or transport it while travelling. Always replace the pen in its slot when you are not using it.
The notebook is supplied with a pen cord which you can a ttach to the eyelets on the pen and on the no tebook.

Only use the pen provided with your notebook. Do not use substitute pen tips that were not specially designed for your notebook. Replace the stylus tip if it is worn. The warranty does not cover a scratched screen.
While writing, you should take care not to scratch the surface of the display (e.g. with a wristwatch or bracelet).
34 Fujitsu
Working with the notebook
The pen of your notebook is an electron ic instrument which can be damaged if used incorrectly. Handle the pen with care.
The following list con tains guidelines for proper pen handling:
Do not 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 noteboo k.
Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen. The thumb grip is used to place the pen in its slot an d 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 ( part icularly 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 curso r quive rs slightly in spite of pressing the pen down rmly.
The screen responds to entries made with the tip o f the nger or the pen when the tip of the nger 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 rst time, you should calibrate it so that the cursor follows the movements of the pen as accurately as p ossible. You should also always repeat the calibration if the co-ordination between the pen and cursor movement deteriorates.

To calibrate, call up the Hardware and Sound / Tablet PC Settings function in the Control Panel. You need to calibrate both portrait and landscape formats.
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, causing unpredictable results when using the pen.
If your pen exhibits these problem s, you should replace the pen tip. To do this, use the supplied tool (1).

The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5°C / 41°F and max. 35°C / 95°F.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the AC adapter (see "

BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,battery
Keep the battery pack between 0°C / 32°F and 30°C / 86°F. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge level should be approx. 30%. To prevent exhaustive discharge which would perma nently damage the battery, check the level of charge of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.

Setting up the port replicator

Select a suitable location for the port replicator before setting it up. Follow the instructions below when doing so:
Never place the port r eplicator on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture, bed). This can block the air vents of the notebook and cause overheating and damage.
Place the port replicator on a stable, at and non-slip surface. Please note that the port replicator’s rubber feet may mark certain types of surface.
Never place the port replicator and the AC adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
Do not expose the port replicator to extreme environmental conditions. Protect the port replicator from dust, humidity and heat.

Connect the notebook to the port replicator

The port replicator supports various LIFEBOOK models. The adjusting lever of the port replicator can be used to adapt the port replicator to the size of the particular LIFEBOOK.
Before connecting the notebook to the port r eplicator, check if the setting lever of the port replicator is in the right position. If necessary, adjust the settin g lever to the co rrect position.

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 1 2.
When installing/removing memory modules, the battery must be removed from the notebook and th e notebook must not be connected to the power supply, see "
Preparing t o remove compone nts", Page 83.
Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your notebook (see "
Technical data", Page 99).
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 authorized specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
Individual components can be come 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 "
Notes on installing and removing boards and components", Page 82.
