Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS/LTE) 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 aircra ft or driving in a car.
•Switch off the radio components when y ou 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. petrol station, paintshops), as the
transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.

► If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight
attendants if it is OK to do so.
When travelling in other countries
► If you are travelling abroad , check that the mains adapter can be operated with the
local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for
your notebook. D o not use any other voltage converter!
► Check whether the local mains voltage and the power cable are compatible. If this is
not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions.
► Enquire with the corresponding government office of the country you will be
travelling in as to whether you may operate the radio component integrated in your

LCDscreenNotes
High-quality TFT displays 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 d iffers 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 present. The maximum
permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated 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 about 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.
At a resolution of 1600 x 900 = 1440000 pixels, a maximum of 3 light and 3 dark pixels
and in addition 7 light or 14 dark subpixels are allowed to be defective.

Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When

Keep the battery pack between0°C / 32°F und 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 permanently 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

We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. A lways 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 advantag e 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 when inserting and removing the SmartCard.

All new SmartCards have a preset PIN (Personal Identification Number)
and PUK (Personal Unblocking Key).
On SICRYPT and CardOS SmartCards, the value 12345678 is preset

On Fujitsu cards, the value 0000 is preset for the PIN and the value

that you change both PIN and PUK without fail.
Additional software (e.g. Smarty) is required so that the system can also check that

Access rights of SmartCards
SmartCardSmartCardSmartCard
A new SmartCard initially only has a preset PIN and PUK. Access rights and the cust omised
PIN and PUK are not assigned until the SmartCard is initialised. The SmartCard type
depends on the access rights assigned to the card, as described below:
•User SmartCard: starting the system, changing the PIN
•SuperUser SmartCard: starting the system, changes in BIOS Setup, changing the PIN
•Service SmartCard: changes in BIOS-Setup, operating system boot-up not possible
•Admin SmartCard: starting the system, changes in BIOS Setup, changing the PIN,
uninstalling SystemLock, initialising SmartCards, blocking SmartCards
The following table shows an overview of the rights granted with each type of
SmartCard when a PIN or PUK is entered:

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. Each user that is allowed 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 P C". The
Admin SmartCard generated during this process is used to set up the user group. System Lock
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 canbeadministeredviatheWindows
program "SystemLock Admin". "SystemLock Admin" allows you to conveniently manage
SystemLock at the operating system level, create SystemLock Organisation Units and Groups,
generate SmartCards for these Organisation Units or Groups, 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 other users and reactivate blocked cards.
For a detailed description, see the "SystemLock Admin" Help manual.
