Important notes

Storing the battery

Store the battery in a fully charged state. The battery should be stored in a dry area at a temperature between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower is the rate of self-discharge.

If storing for a long period of time (longer than two months) batteries should be fully charged before storage.

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 unit.

Transporting the notebook

Please observe the points listed below when transporting your notebook.

Before you travel

● Back up important data stored on your hard disk.

● Switch off the radio component (Wireless LAN) for security reasons when youn cannot exclude

that the transmitted radio waves can negatively affect electrical and electronic devices in your surrounding area.

● Disconnect the notebook from the Port Replicator.

● If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight attendants if it is

permissible to do so.

● If you are travelling abroad, ensure that the power adapter can be operated with the local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate power adapter for your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!

If you travel in another country, check whether the local power supply and the specifications of the power cable are compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable

that matches the local conditions. Do not use a connection adapter for electrical devices to connect the notebook.

If you use a modem, incompatibilities with the local telecommunications system may result.

LCD screen

Information on LCD monitor

High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. For technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture can only be ensured in the resolution intended for the respective TFT monitor. A monitor resolution which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.

The monitor resolution is understood to be the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (i.e. picture elements) which make up the monitor display. For example, "UXGA" stands for 1600 x 1200 pixels. Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a result, a UXGA monitor consists of 1600 x 1200 x 3 = 5.760.000 subpixels.

Frequently used monitor resolutions Number of pixels

XGA 1024 x 768

SXGA 1280 x 1024

SXGA+ 1400 x 1050

UXGA 1600 x 1200

The correct monitor resolution for your notebook is specified in the corresponding section in the chapter "Technical data".

Permanently unlit or lit pixels

The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).

Example:

A 15" LCD screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 = 786432 pixels. Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 2,4 million subpixels in total. According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and 5 subpixels may be defective, i. e. a total of 17 faulted subpixels. That is approx. 0.0002 % of the entire subpixel!

Background lighting

TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background lighting can decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, you can set the brightness of your monitor individually.

Working with the notebook

Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter.

The battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and max. 40°C.

Work in the battery mode until an acoustic warning or a message on the screen prompts you to recharge and the battery indicator begins to flash orange (1 second on / 1 second off). The battery should not be charged before this point.

If you do not connect the power adapter within five minutes of the signals described above, your notebook will automatically switch to the energy-saving mode or off.

Storing the battery

Store the battery in a fully charged state. Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower is the rate of self-discharge.

If storing for a long period of time (longer than two months) batteries should be fully charged before storage.

To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.

Only use batteries released for your notebook.

Take care not to drop the batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk).

If the rechargeable batteries are defective, they must not be used.

Do not touch the contacts of the batteries.

Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations (special waste).

Energy Star

The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5 % percent of all business electricity and that this is growing rapidly. If all desktop PCs and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in use, the overall savings in electricity could amount to $ 2 milliard annually. These savings could also prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the equivalent of 5 million automobiles. As an Energy Star Partner, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH has determined that this product meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

www.fujitsu-siemens.com/recycling.

The notebook from Fujitsu Siemens Computers is designed to conserve electricity by dropping to less than 8 W when it goes into standby/suspend mode and to less than 3 W when it goes into OFF mode. With this level of power management, the notebook qualifies for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Computers award.

This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a standard modular jack type USOC RJ-11C which is FCC Part 68 compliant and a line cord between the modem and the telephone network with a minimum of 26AWG.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices on one line may result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas the sum of the RENs of all of the devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the RENs, contact your local telephone company.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical they will notify you as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

This fax modem also complies with fax branding requirements per FCC Part 68.

Your telephone company will probably ask you to disconnect this equipment from the telephone network until the problem is corrected and you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning. This equipment may not be used on coin-operated telephones provided by your telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Contact your state’s public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for more information.

This equipment includes automatic dialing capability. When programming and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:

● Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.

● Perform such activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.

A26391-K149-Z120-1-7619, Edition 2 81
