Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent:WirelessLAN:Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS/LTE) 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 r adio components when you let the device get near flammable
gases or into hazardous environments (e.g. petrol station, paintshops), as the
transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.
For information on how to switch radio components on and off, see chapter
"
Switching the wireless components on and off", Page 60.

LCDscreenNotes
High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH. For
technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An op timal, clear
picture can only be ensured with the correct resolution intended for the relevant TFT monitor. A
monitor resolution which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.
The screen resolution of the LCD monitor of your notebook is optimally set at the factory.
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels (picture elements) may be present. The maximum
permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-3 (Class II).
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 thereare about 3 million subpixelsin total. According to ISO
9241-3 (class II), 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.

You can use the pen on your notebook as an electronic writing implement to select
items and to navigate through menu options and programs. Programs that support
handwriting recognition also allow you to write characters directly on the screen with
the pen. Yo u can also use the pen as a drawing tool.
The notebook pen is retained securely in the pen slot. This ensures that the pen cannot be
lost, regardless of whether you use the notebook as a Tablet PC or as a notebook, or transport
it while travelling. Always replace the pen in its slot when you are not using it.
The notebook is supplied with a pen cord which you can attach to the eyelets

Only use the pen provided with your notebook. Do not use substitute pen tips
that were not specially designed for your notebook. Replace the stylus tip if it
is worn. The warranty does not cover a scratched screen.
While writing, you should take care not to scratch th e surface of the
display (e.g. with a wristwatch or bracelet).
32 Fujitsu
Working with the notebook
The pen of your notebook is an electron ic instrument which can be damaged
if used incorrectly. Handle the pen with care.
The following list contains guidelines for proper pen handling:
• Do not gesture with the pen.
• Do not use the pen as a pointer.
• Never use the pen on any other surface than the screen of your notebook.
• Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen. The thumb grip is used to
place the pen in its slot and to take it out o f the slot.
• Never store the pen with the tip bearing the weight of the pen (e.g. with the tip down
in a pen holder). If the pen is stored with the tip pointing down, this may have
an adverse effect on the pen mechanism (particularly under high temperatures).
In this case the pen tip may react as though it is constantly being pressed down.
To avoid damage, the pen should be stored in the pen slot when not in use.
Thepencanbeinfluenced by electromagnetic fields (cursor quivers or
jumps). There may be a few areas on the screen where the cursor quivers
slightly in spite of pressing the pen down firmly.
The screen responds to entries made with the tip of the finger or the pen when the tip
of the finger or the pen is in direct contact with the screen.
You can use the pen to perform all the functions for which you would otherwise use a m ouse.
In addition, you can conveniently delete hand-written pen entries using the pen.

Notes on installing and removing boards
and components
• Switch the notebook off and pull the power plug out of the mains socket.
• Always remove the battery.
• Take care when you use the locking mechanisms on the battery and any other component.
• Never use sharp objects such as screwdrivers, scissors or knives as leverage to remove covers.
NotesBoardESD
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are marked with the label
shown.
When handling boards fitted with ESDs, you must always observe the following
points:
• You must always discharge static build up (e.g. by touching a grounded
object) before working.
• The equipment and tools you use m ust be free of static charges.
• Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing
boards containing ESDs.
• Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
• Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

If you are asked by the Hotline/Service Desk to remove and install the memory
expansion yourself, proceed as follows:
Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important notes", Page 12.
When installing/removing memory modules, the battery must be removed from
the notebook and the notebook must not be connected to the power supply,
see "
Preparing to remove components", Page 83.
Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your
notebook (see "
Technical data", Page 99).
Never use force when installing or removing a memory extension.
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.
You m ust open the service compartment to remove or install a memory module. On some devices,
opening the compartment may expose other components. These components should be removed
and replaced only by authorised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we
recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the notebook 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 o f chapter "
Notes on installing and removing boards and components", Page 82.
