Important notes
Additional safety notes for devices with radio components
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, 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.
For further information on how to switch the radio components on and off, refer
to chapter "Switching the wireless components on and off", Page 59.
Energy saving
Switch the notebook off when it is not in use. Switch off any connected external devices when
they are not in use. If you use the energy saving functions, the notebook uses less power. You
will then be able to work for longer before having to recharge the battery.
Energy saving under Windows
► Make use of the available energy saving functions as described in chapter
The energy efficiency is increased and environmental pollution is reduced.
You save money and help protect the environment.

Traveling with your notebook
Please observe the points listed below when traveling with your notebook.
Before you travel
► Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
► Switch off the radio component for data security reasons. With data traffic via a wireless
connection, it is also possible for unauthorized third parties to receive data.
► If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, check with the flight attendants if its use is safe.
Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation
for your radio component.
When traveling in other countries
► If you are traveling abroad, check that the AC adapter can be operated with the local AC
voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate AC adapter for your notebook.
Do not use any other converter!
► Check whether the local AC voltage and the AC cable are compatible. If this is not
the case, buy an AC cable that suits the local conditions.
► Enquire with the corresponding government office of the country you will be traveling to,
whether you may use your notebook with its integrated radio component there.
► T
ake the necessary travel adapters with you when traveling abroad. Check the following
table to see which travel adapters you will need, or ask your travel organizer.

Working with the notebook
LCD screen
High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in Fujitsu notebooks. For technical reasons,
these screens are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture can
only be ensured in the resolution intended for the particular screen. A screen resolution
which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.
The resolution of the screen 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 4).
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 4), 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.
Pixel
Subpixel
Cluster
Background lighting LCD screens 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.
A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, normally red, green and
blue. A pixel is the smallest element that can be generated
by complete functionality of the display.
A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structure
within a pixel that enhances the pixel function.
A cluster contains two or more defective pixels or
subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.
Synchronizing the display on the LCD screen and an external monitor For more information, please refer to Chapter "Key combinations", Page 43
under "Switching between screen output".
Ambient light sensor
If your notebook was shipped with a Windows operating system, the screen brightness is
regulated by the ambient light sensor and is dependent on the particular light conditions.
This results in optimum readability and longer battery life at the same time.

Rechargeable battery
During use as a portable, 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 500 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
The notebook battery can only be charged if the ambient temperature is between
5°C / 41°F and a maximum of 35°C / 95°F.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the AC adapter
(see "Connecting the AC adapter", Page 18).
If the battery is running 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 state of charge Windows also has a "Battery charge meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the
battery capacity. When you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the
system displays the state of charge of the battery.
Battery storage The battery should be stored in a dry environment at a temperature between 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 batteries for a longer period (more 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 optimum capacity of the battery, you should allow
the battery to fully discharge and then recharge it.
If you will not use batteries for long periods, remove them from the
notebook. Never store batteries in the device.
Removing and installing the battery
Only use batteries approved by Fujitsu for your notebook.
Never use force when fitting or removing a battery.
Make sure that no foreign bodies get into the battery connections.
Never store a battery for long periods in the discharged state. This
can make it impossible to recharge.

expansion module yourself, proceed as follows:
Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important notes", Page 12.
During installation/removal of memory modules, the battery must remain
removed from the notebook and the notebook must not be connected to the
AC adapter, see "Preparing to remove components", Page 81.
Only use memory modules that have been approved for use in your
notebook (see chapter "Technical data", Page 99).
Never use force when installing or removing a memory module.
Make sure that no foreign objects fall into the memory upgrade compartment.
You must open the memory upgrade compartment to remove or install a memory
module. On some devices, it is possible that opening the compartment exposes various
components. Only authorized specialists are permitted to remove or change these
components. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
Fujitsu 81
Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we
recommend that you wait one hour after switching the notebook off 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
note of chapter "Notes on installing and removing boards and components", Page 80.
