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.

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.

Our notebooks have been designed primarily with mobile applications in mind. This means that considerable effort has been made to optimize components and equipment in terms of weight, space and energy requirements. Depending on the particular configuration you have purchased, it is possible that functionality may be slightly reduced compared to a desktop PC if you are running processor-intensive gaming software, e.g. games with intensive 3D graphics. Updating your hardware with drivers which have not been approved by Fujitsu may result in performance losses, data losses or malfunction of the equipment.
