Recycling your battery
Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.
Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.
RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org or call 1-800-822-8837.
If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/) and search for a convenient disposal location.
Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.
* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com in the US or
www.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks in Canada.
** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with Fujitsu.

5 Using the stylus or your finger (depending upon which type of input you are calibrating), firmly touch the screen
directly on the (+) symbol. Lift the stylus from the screen and the target will move to a different location on the screen.
6 Repeat step 5 until you have selected all of the (+) symbols. 7 Once you have selected all the symbols, press the [OK] button. 8 Touch the stylus to various points on the screen to verify that the screen is correctly calibrated. If you are not
satisfied with the screen’s calibration, press the [Calibrate]) button to begin again.
29
- Active Digitizer/Touchscreen

Using the Capacitive Touchscreen

Certain configurations of this Tablet PC have an optional dual digitizer that allows you to use either the stylus or your finger(s) as a pointing device. This type of display also allows you to use “gestures” to perform such actions as scroll, zoom, and rotate.
GESTURE SUPPORT IS DETERMINED BY THE APPLICATION IN USE.
THE STYLUS TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER FINGER TOUCH. IF THE STYLUS IS WITHIN ACTIVE RANGE OF THE SCREEN, FINGER TOUCH WILL BE DISABLED.
WHEN ONE FINGER IS USED ON THE TOUCHSCREEN, IT BEHAVES IN THE SAME MANNER AS A STYLUS.
Right-clicking the touchscreen
To perform a right-click action using two fingers, press the first finger at the location you want to perform a right-click, then quickly tap and release the second finger on the screen.
Gesture Mode
To initiate gesture mode, two fingers must touch the screen within 200 ms of each other. If the second finger touches the screen after 200 ms has elapsed, the second finger is ignored. If more than two fingers touch the screen in that time, Advanced Gesture Mode is activated instead. When Gesture Mode is activated, no cursor movement is sent to the system.
When both fingers are removed, Gesture mode ends. When a third finger is added, gesture mode ends and Advanced gesture mode is activated. Note that if a gesture can’t be recognized, no action is taken. In that case, remove both fingers from the screen and try again.
Scrolling Gesture
To scroll through long documents or on a web page, place both fingers on the screen (one finger quickly followed by the second). If at least one finger has moved at least 3 mm, a scroll is considered. If both fingers are moving in the same direction and parallel (given a tolerance of 5 mm), Scroll Mode is activated. If one finger is stationary, it is not considered a scroll. If either finger is lifted, Scroll Mode is canceled.
Zoom Gesture
The zoom gesture is especially helpful when viewing pictures. To zoom in, place two fingers on the item you want to enlarge (one finger quickly followed by the second), then spread them away from each other.
30
- Active Digitizer/Touchscreen
If at least one finger has moved at least 10 mm, a zoom event is considered. If the distance between the fingers has changed by at least 10 mm, and both fingers have stayed on approximately the same line, Zoom Mode is entered. If either finger strays more than 10 mm from the "zoom line" created when the fingers first made contact, the zoom is canceled.
To zoom out, place two fingers on the item you want to reduce (one finger quickly followed by the second), then move them towards each other.
Rotate Gesture
To change the orientation of an object on the screen, place two fingers on the image you want to rotate (one finger quickly followed by the second), then move them in opposite directions (as if you were turning a knob). The direction the item turns is dependant upon the direction you move your fingers.
If at least one finger moves at least 12 mm, a rotate is considered. If one finger is stationary (moving less than 5 mm in any direction), and the other is moving, a rotate is considered. If the fingers begin moving in the same direction, the rotation is canceled. If the distance between the fingers changes by more than 10 mm, the rotation is canceled.

Accessing the OnScreen TouchPad

Your tablet has a handy on-screen touchpad that offers a variety of helpful functions. Features of the OnScreen TouchPad include:
Virtual Mouse Emulator: The Virtual Mouse Emulator works in much the same manner as a hardware mouse.
With the virtual mouse, you can scroll, drag, and click, as well as perform [Ctl]+[Click] and [Shift]+[Click] actions.
Application Launch/Key Macro: This window provides access to five pages, each of which can contain up to
twenty buttons. Each button can be programmed to open an application, a folder, document, or key (such as [Esc], [ Alt+X] and [Page Up]).
Digital Keyboard: This window provides a soft keyboard for use in mathematical procedures. It works in much
the same way as the Windows standard calculator. To access the OnScreen TouchPad, go to the Start Menu > All Programs > Fujitsu OnScreen TouchPad. To learn more about the utility, click on Usage and Help.

- Starting Your STYLISTIC Tablet PC
When you power on your STYLISTIC, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your STYLISTIC Tablet PC will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 62. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.
After satisfactory completion of the POST, your Tablet PC will load your operating system.
NEVER TURN OFF YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED
WHEN YOU TURN YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC ON THE NEXT TIME.
See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 62.

Boot Sequence

The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet PC’s BIOS. When your STYLISTIC Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your Tablet PC, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your Tablet PC is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.
The boot sequence is executed when:
You turn on the power to your STYLISTIC Tablet PC.
You restart your Tablet PC from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.
The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.

Hard Disk Drive Passwords

To provide additional security for your data, you can assign passwords to your hard disk drive(s). This feature is managed in the system BIOS Setup Utility. See
BIOS Setup Utility
40
- Starting Your STYLISTIC Tablet PC
below for information about accessing the utility.
REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORDS. IF YOU SET AND FORGET YOUR USER AND MASTER HARD DISK PASSWORDS, FUJITSU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESET IT. Y
OU MAY LOSE DATA AND HAVE TO REPLACE YOUR SYSTEM BOARD OR HARD DISK DRIVE.

BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your STYLISTIC Tablet PC. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environment to operate your Tablet PC.
The BIOS Setup Utility configures:
Device control feature parameters, such as changing I/O addresses and boot devices.
System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the setup utility, do the following:
1 Turn on or restart your STYLISTIC Tablet PC. 2 To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, either press the Rotation button (or press the [F2] key if you have an external

Booting the System

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.
When you turn on your Tablet PC for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Starting Windows the First Time

After you boot up the system the first time and follow the instructions on the screen, you will eventually come to the Sign-In screen which prompts you for your user name. After sign-in, it takes less then a minute for the computer to boot to Windows and during that time a progress bar and interactive messages are displayed on the screen.
During the course of the first start up, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs) for Microsoft and Fujitsu.
YOU CANNOT USE YOUR NOTEBOOK UNTIL YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE LICENSE AGREEMENT. IF YOU STOP THE PROCESS YOUR NOTEBOOK WILL RETURN
TO THE BEGINNING OF THE WINDOWS WELCOME PROCESS, EVEN IF YOU SHUT YOUR NOTEBOOK DOWN AND START IT UP AGAIN.
Following first boot, you will arrive at the Modern start screen. Some useful shortcuts for your reference: Press the Windows + D key to go to traditional Windows desktop. Press Windows + M key to load the traditional Windows desktop and minimize all applications.
Installing Bonus Apps
After you have started your system the first time, you will see a Bonus Apps icon on your desktop. Click on
the icon to see which additional applications are available for you to install. Alternatively, you can access Bonus Apps by opening the Charms panel from Modern Start screen and searching for "Bonus Apps". Applications that are already installed appear in grey; those that are available for installation appear in blue.
Select the applications you wish to install by selecting the checkbox adjacent to your selection, or click [Select All] if you would like to install all available applications. Once you have made your selections, click [Install].
42
- Starting Your STYLISTIC Tablet PC
Note that in some cases (depending upon which application was selected for installation) after installation completes, the system will prompt you to reboot. There are also cases in which if multiple applications are selected to install but one of them needs a reboot, the system will reboot and continue installing the rest of the selected applications.

Power Management

Your Fujitsu STYLISTIC Tablet PC has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your Tablet PC may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.
Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your Tablet PC into Sleep mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.

Power/Suspend/Resume Switch

When your Tablet PC is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume switch can be used to manually put the Tablet PC into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when the Tablet PC is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button.
If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch returns it to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your Tablet PC is fully operational. If the indicator is visible not visible, the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernation mode.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display, hard drive, and all other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting.
and
flashing, the Tablet PC is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is
Your Tablet PC can be put in sleep mode by:
Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when your system is turned on.
Selecting “Sleep” after clicking [Start] then clicking the small arrow at the bottom right of the window.
Timing out from lack of activity.
Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.
44
- Power Management
Your Tablet PC’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode, your Tablet PC will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume switch to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your Tablet PC will not resume.
IF RUNNING YOUR TABLET PC ON BATTERY POWER, BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DISCHARGE WHILE YOUR TABLET PC IS IN SLEEP
MODE, THOUGH NOT AS QUICKLY AS WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL.
DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME SWITCH PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THE TABLET PC INTO SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE.
T
HE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION CANNOT BE DISABLED.
IF YOUR TABLET PC IS ACTIVELY ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE, CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT
LOST. THE FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS KEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEP MODE OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE DURING HIBERNATION MODE.
THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR DATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF
YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR TABLET PC IN A SUSPENDED STATE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THE POWER DOWN AND POWER UP SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.

Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Feature

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Power/Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.
Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature
The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature, follow these steps:
1 From the Modern Start screen, press [Windows]+[X]. Select Control Panel from the menu, then select Power
Options.
2 Select Choose what the power button does or Choose what closing the lid does, then make your selection (Do
Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).

Windows Power Management

The Power Options icon in the Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery or one of the adapters.

Lithium Polymer Battery

Your STYLISTIC Tablet PC has a Lithium Polymer battery that provides power for operating your Tablet PC when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.
The Lithium Polymer battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C (41° to 95° F). Extreme temperatures not
only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.
When using a high current device such as an external optical drive or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will
conserve your battery life.
DO NOT LEAVE A FAULTY BATTERY IN YOUR TABLET PC. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR AC ADAPTER, OPTIONAL AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER, OR YOUR TABLET PC
ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVENT OPERATION OF YOUR TABLET PC BY DRAINING ALL AVAILABLE CURRENT INTO THE BAD BATTERY.

Recharging the Batteries

If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium Polymer battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium Polymer battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your STYLISTIC Tablet PC and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.
M
AKE SURE THAT THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS INDICATED BY THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR ON THE STATUS INDICATOR PANEL.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium Polymer battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your Tablet PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your Tablet PC into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 44 for more information on Sleep mode and shutdown
procedure)
SING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES OR FREQUENT EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE ACCESSES MAY PREVENT CHARGING COMPLETELY.

Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens, your Tablet PC will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the Tablet PC reaches this point.
ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUT YOUR TABLET PC INTO SLEEP
MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY, AN AC POWER ADAPTER, OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF YOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE
YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC IS IN SLEEP MODE, ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your Tablet PC goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Power/Suspend/Resume switch to resume operation.
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your Tablet PC while an adapter is charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel indicator associated with the Battery Level indicator displays the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows a flashing red LED, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your STYLISTIC Tablet PC.

Replacing the Battery

With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:

To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay, follow these easy steps:
1 Have a charged battery ready to install. 2 Perform one of the following two steps:
Click the Fujitsu Battery Swap Utility icon on the desktop. Follow the instructions that appear to put the system
into Hibernate mode. Using this procedure saves your data and the system powers down. It is then safe to swap the batteries.
Save your data, then power down the system. It is then safe to swap the batteries.
3 Note that the battery latch on the left is spring loaded, while the latch on the right is not. Unlock the battery by
first pushing the right latch backwards, then pushing and holding the left latch (Figure 19). While holding the left latch, lift the battery out at the lift point (Figure 20).
4 To install a battery, first verify that the right latch is pushed back. While pushing the left latch back and holding
it, insert a new battery into the bay. Lock the battery in place by sliding the right latch forward.
5 Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.

Restoring Your System Image and Software

It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image and Bootable Disc before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the instructions in the “Saving Your Factory Image” and “Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs” sections of this chapter.

Saving and Recovering Your Factory and System Images

Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other important procedures, such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system images, managing your images, and restoring the partitions on a hard drive.
IN ORDER TO MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES AND BURN BOOTABLE DISCS YOU MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNALLY
CONNECTED WRITABLE DVD DRIVE.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COPY YOUR FACTORY IMAGE TO REMOVABLE MEDIA (E.G., DVD DISCS). FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT
IN AN INABILITY TO RESTORE THE IMAGE AT A FUTURE DATE.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE DVD-R OR DVD+R DISCS FOR YOUR BACKUP, BUT SUPPORTED MEDIA* FOR IMAGE BACKUPS INCLUDE:
FOR FACTORY IMAGE, APPLICATION DATA, AND BOOTABLE DISC: DVD-R/+R. FOR USER-CREATED BACKUP IMAGE: DVD-R/+R, DVD-RW/+RW, DVD-DL.
* DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKUPS.
DUE TO CERTAIN LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, SOME THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED SEPARATELY.
Saving your Factory Image
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.
63
- Restoring Your System Image and Software
To make a copy of the Factory Image to DVD discs, you will need four or five blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are recommended) to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.
Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Bootable Disc
Using the [Manage/Change] button, you can create backup images of the Factory Image and/or Bootable Disc.
ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.
1 Launch System Backup and Restore from the desktop icon and click [Yes] on the User Account Control dialog. 2 Click [Next] on the Backup Your Data screen. 3 Select the [Manage/Create] tab, then click [Make Recovery Disc set] to burn your factory image to DVD. 4 On “Step 1: Please select a media type for Recovery Disc” screen select Media Type from the drop down box, then
click [Next]. (Note: This screen shows the number of discs required for backup.)
5 On “Step 2: Confirm your Recovery Disc” both the Bootable Disc and Recovery disks are selected by default under
“List of Recovery Discs”. When the backup is created for the first time, these options should stay selected. Click [Next].
6 Click [OK] on the “Attention about media” confirmation screen.
DURING THE FOLLOWING PROCESS, YOU SHOULD CONNECT AN AC ADAPTER SINCE THE PROCESS MAY TAKE A LONG TIME.
7 Click [Start] on “Step 3: Making Recovery Disc” . 8 The process will prompt you to insert your discs. 9 Once the process completes successfully, click [Finish] on “Step 4: Making Recovery Disc process has been

FCC/IC Radio Frequency Exposure statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposure have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
The wireless LAN radio device has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg, and 1.6W/kg by Industry Canada.
This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and Canada RSS 102, and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, and Canada RSS
102. This device has been tested, and meets the FCC, IC RF exposure guidelines when tested with the device directly contacted to the body.
Déclaration de la FCC/d’Industrie Canada sur l’exposition aux radiofréquences
La norme régissant l’exposition des appareils sans fil aux radiofréquences emploie une unité de mesure dénommée Taux d’absorption spécifique, ou TAS. La FCC et Industrie Canada ont défini la même limite de TAS : 1,6 W/kg.
Cet appareil est conforme au TAS pour les limites d’exposition générales de la population/non contrôlées définies par les règles C95.1-1992 de l’ANSI/IEEE et RSS 102 d’Industrie Canada ; il a été testé en conformité avec les méthodes et procédures de mesure spécifiées dans le supplément C du bulletin 65 de l’OET (Office d’ingénierie et de technologie) et la règle RSS 102 d’Industrie Canada. Cet appareil a été testé selon les directives de la FCC et d’IC concernant l’exposition aux radiofréquences et s’est révélé conforme à ces dernières lorsqu’il a été testé en contact direct avec le corps.

Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device

Ad Hoc Mode
"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

Wireless LAN
*An optional hub for a wired LAN may be required depending upon the type of access point used.
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the WLAN in order to access services, devices, and computers (e.g., file servers, printers, databases).

How to Handle This Device
The WLAN device is an optional device that may come pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The operating system that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.
The Wireless LAN devices support IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.
The WLAN devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.
Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the same 2.4 GHz
frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.
Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN devices in
IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN device.

Deactivating/Disconnecting the WLAN Device

Disconnecting the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). The WLAN device can be deactivated by using the Wireless On/Off Switch, and it can be disconnected in Windows using the WLAN icon in the system tray (Note that disconnecting via the icon in the system tray does not turn off the radio; it continues to transmit and receive even though it’s not connected.).
