Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent:wirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS / LTE or 4G) is incorporated 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 components when you are in a hospital, an operating room or near a medical
electronics system. The transmitted radio waves can impair the operation of medical devices.
•Switch off the radio components when you let the device get near flammable gases
or into hazardous environments (e.g. gas station, paintshops), as the transmitted
radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.

Working with the notebook
LCD screen
LCDscreenNotes
High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu. 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.
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 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.

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.

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

The screen responds to entries made with the tip o f 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.

Webcam
Depending on the software used, you can use your webcam to take pictures,
record video clips or take part in web chats.
•The picture quality depends on the lighting conditions and the software being used.
•You can only operate the webcam with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telephony
program or a video conferencing program which supports a webcam).
•When using the webcam the notebook support must not wobble.
•The webcam automatically adjusts itself to the current light level. For this reason
the LCD screen may flicker while the light level is adjusted.
Further information on using the webcam and on the additional settings
which are possible for your webcam can be found in the help function
of the program which uses the webcam.
When not plugged into a po wer outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You
can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average
battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
BatteryBattery
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 "
AC adapter co nnecting", Page 17).
If the battery is ru nning low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the AC adapter
within five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.
Monitoring the battery charging level
er
BatteryBatterystatusmet
Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When
you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.
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.

Observe the following guidelines when handling optical disks:
•Avoid touching the surface of a optical disk. Only handle optical disks by their edges.
•Always store optical disks in their cases. This will protect the optical disk against
being covered in dust, scratched or damaged in any other way.
•Protect your optical disks against dust, mechanical vibrations and direct sunlight.
•Avoid storing a optical disk in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.
You may use both 3.15 and 4.7-inch optical disks in the optical drive.
When using a optical disk of lesser quality, vibrations and reading errors may occur.

If the CD/DVD indicator does not go out after a optical disk has been inserted, but
instead continues to flash, this means that the drive cannot access the optical disk.
Either the optical disk is damaged or dirty or you are using a optical
disk that the drive cannot read.
In the event of a power failure or damage to the drive, you can remove the optical disk manually.

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 1 2.
Remove the power plug from the power 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 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
