radiocomponents
RadiocomponentsWirelessLANBluetooth,Safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth) is incorporated in your notebook, you must
be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your note book:
•Switch off the radio components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
•Switch off t he ra dio components when you are in a hospital, an operating r oom 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 Àammable gases
or into hazardous e nvironments (e.g. gas station, paintshops), as the transmitted
radio waves can cause an explosion or a ¿re.

Using the device as a Tablet PC
You can execute commands as follows:
•using the stylus (supplied with your device).

You can execute certain commands by using your ¿nger tip on the touchscreen of your device.
Alternatively, everything which you can select or activate using your ¿nger
tip can also be selected or activated using the stylus.
Calibrating the Dual Digitizer for finger-based operation of the device
Please see chapter "Calibrating the stylus", Page 37 for instructions on how
to calibrate your device to use Dual Digitizer Technology.
Please note: The re are separate calibration programs available for calibrating
the sty lus and for calibrating ¿nger-based operation. Do not use the calibration
tool for the stylus to calibrate ¿nger-based operation.
Software will need to be downloaded which includes an overview on the
stylus: "
http://www.fujitsu.com/us/support/"
You can use the stylus on your Tablet PC as an electronic writing tool, to select menu items and to
navigate through the programs. Programs that support handwriting recognition also allow you to
write directly on the screen with the stylus. You can also use the stylus as a drawing tool.
A stylus tether is available as an optional extra and you can use this to tie the
eyelet on the stylus to the eyelet on the Tablet PC .
Use only the stylus that was provided with your Tablet PC. Do not use any other pointed
object as a substitute, that was not specially designed for your Tablet PC. Replace

The stylus of the Tablet PC is an electronic instrument that can be damaged
if used improperly. Handle the stylus with care.
Our recommendations for proper handling of the stylus are as follows:
•Do not gesture with the stylus.
•Do not use the stylus as a pointer.
•Do not use the stylus on surfaces other than the screen of the Tablet PC.
•Do not try to turn the grip of the stylus. The grip is used to put the
stylus into its slot or to take it out of its slot.
•Never store the stylus with its weight on the tip (e.g. with the tip pointing down in a
pen container). If th e stylus is stored with the tip pointing down , this may have an
adverse effect on the stylus mechanism (particularly under high temperat ures). In
this case the stylus tip may react as though it is constantly being pressed down. To
avoid damage, the stylus should be stored in the slot when not in use.
ThestyluscanbeinÀuenced by electromagnetic ¿elds (cursor quivers or
jumps). There may be a few areas o n the screen where the cursor quivers
slightly in spite of pressing the stylus down ¿rmly.
The screen responds to entries made with the tip of the ¿nger or the stylus when the
tip of the ¿nger or the stylus directly touches the screen.
You can use the stylus to perform almost all functions for which you would otherwise use a m ou se.

Charging the stylus battery
The stylus contains a built-in batte ry, which is automatically charged when the stylus is fully inserted
in its slot. The stylus is also charged wh en the notebook is in p ower saving mode or is switched off.
A charging time of approximately 15 seconds is suf¿cient to able to stylus to be used for 90 minutes.

•The picture quality depends on the lighting conditions and the software being used.
•You can only operate th e webcam with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telephony

•When using the webcam, the notebook base must not wobble.
•The webcam automatically a djusts itself to the current light level. For this reason

Further information on use o f the webcam and additional settings for your webcam

During mobile use, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the
service life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average battery
service life is around 800 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery service 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 if the ambient temperature is between
5°C / 41°F and a maximum o f 35°C / 95°F.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the AC adapter
(see "
Be aware that the battery will not charge when the battery charge level is between
90% and 100%. If the battery charge level is less than 90% and the AC adapter
is connected, the b attery charges up to 100%.

The battery should be stored in a dry environment at a temperature betwee n 0°C / 32°F and
30°C / 86°F. The lower the storage temperature, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing a battery for a longer period (more than two months),
the battery charge level should be approx. 30%. To prevent exhaustive
discharge which w o uld permanently damage the battery, check the level
of charge of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to make use of the op timum capacity of the battery, you should allow

If you have opened these operating instructions on the screen, we recom mend
that you print them out. You cannot call up the instructions on th e screen
while you are setting up the password.
BIOSSetupUtility
The supervisor password and the user password both prevent unauthorized use of the BIOS
Setup U tility . The supervisor password allows you t o access all of the functions of the BIOS Setup
Utility, while the user password will only give you access to some of t he functions. You can
only set up a user password if a supervisor password has already bee n assigned.
Calling and using the BIOS Setup Utility is described in the chapter
