Introduction to wireless communication

With your notebook with an integrated BLUETOOTH™ module you can communicate wirelessly with
other BLUETOOTH devices, e.g. with another notebook. This notebook with integrated
BLUETOOTH is a Power Class 1 device, i.e. it has a maximum range of 100 meters. The range of
the communication paths is shortened depending on the user environment (e.g. walls or furniture),
building structure and output power class of the partner.
BLUETOOTH supports many functions (Services), e.g. wireless printing of documents, accessing the
Internet and transmitting or receiving data, e-mails and faxes.

i However, please note that not every BLUETOOTH device can make use of all Services.

Details are contained in the operating manual for your device.
Technical information on wireless communication can be found on our website at

www.fujitsu-siemens.com/wireless.

This operating manual describes how to put BLUETOOTH into operation and install the related
Plugfree software. Read through this manual carefully before you use BLUETOOTH for the first time.
Familiarise yourself with the proper use of the technology.
What must be observed when setting up the notebook and when operating notebooks with a radio
connection is contained in the chapter "Important notes".
You will find additional information in the manuals for your notebook, your operating system and the
Plugfree online help.

Important notes
Safety

Most of the safety information is contained in the “Safety” manual; some of the most important

information is outlined below.

_ This notebook complies with the relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment. If

you have any questions, contact your sales outlet or our Hotline/Help Desk.

_ If the notebook is brought into the user location from a cold environment, condensation may

form. Before operating the notebook, wait until it is absolutely dry and has reached
approximately the same temperature as the user location.

_ Switch off the radio components (BLUETOOTH or wireless LAN) on the notebook when you

are in a hospital, an operating room or near a medical electronics system. The transmitted
radio waves can impair the operation of the medical devices.
The "EasyGuide" manual provided with your notebook describes how to deactivate the radio
component. If the radio component is attached to the notebook as an accessory, please
remove the radio component from the notebook.

_ Keep the notebook at least 20 cm from a pacemaker, as otherwise the proper operation of the

pacemaker may be impaired by radio waves.

_ The transmitted radio waves can cause an unpleasant humming in hearing aids.
_ Switch off the notebook when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
_ Do not let the notebook near flammable gases or into hazardous environments (e.g.

paintshops) with radio components switched on, as the transmitted radio waves can cause an
explosion or a fire.
