Introduction

Innovative tec hnol ogy and ergonomic design make your AMILO the ideal user-f ri endl y and reliable notebook. Your operating system is preinstalled on the hard disk and optimally configured to facilitate the procedure when y ou use your AMILO for the fi rst time.

Your notebook’s main m emory can be expanded to 1 Gbyte wi th a 128-, 256-, 512-Mbyte mem ory module (this applies for AMILO D 6800 / 7800 / 8800 models ) or to 2 Gbytes with a 1 Gbyt e m odul e (for AMILO D 6820 / 7820 / 8820 model s). Your notebook is also equipped with a 3 1/2-inch disk drive. Depending on the model, your notebook is deliv ered wi th a DVD-ROM drive or a combo drive (CD-RW/DVD).

A PC card slot (CardB us or PCMCIA) enables the not ebook to operate two type I or type II PC cards or one type III PC card. Your notebook is equipped with an internal modem. In addition, your notebook is equipped with a S Video out socket t o connect to a television. You can connect external devices such as digit al audio/ video devices or other high-speed devices to IEEE1394 (FireWire).

For mouse control, the notebook has a touchpad. For the models AMILO D 6800 / 7800 / 8800 an infrared port is available for wireless data

communications with other devices. Your notebook has connec t ors for external devic es such as an external monitor, a printer, and a

mouse. The ECP capable paral l el port is designed for fast bi-directional data transfer. You can connect peripheral devices such as a sc anner, loudspeakers, gamepads , keyboard, or mouse vi a the two USB ports.

An audio controller and two internal loudspeak ers provide your AMILO with an audio capabilit y. You can also connect an external microphone and an external l oudspeaker. Furthermore a digital audi o output (SPDIF) is provided.

The system settings of the notebook can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup program m e. Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, energy savi ng functions) can be modified via various key combinations while you are using the notebook.

Your AMILO has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorised pers on can access your data. For example, you can activate a screen saver with password protection. The securi ty functions in the BIOS Setup al so allow you to protect your data by means of passwords.

This operating manual tell s you how to put your AMI LO i nto operation, and how to operate it in dai l y use.

Further information about y our A M ILO can be found:

• in the manuals "Saf et y” and “Warranty"

• in your operating system documentation

Information on LCD monitor

High-quality TFT monitors are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. The specificat i on of the monitor resolution i ndi cates how many pixel s can be displayed. For ex am pl e, "XGA" stands f or 1024 x 768 pixels. Eac h pi xel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a result, an XGA monitor consists of 1024 x 768 x 3 = 2,359,296 subpixels .

The standard of production t echniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault -free monitor. A few isolated cons t ant lit or unlit pixel s may be present. To ensure the highest possible qual i ty, Fujitsu Siemens Com puters uses only moni t ors that at least comply with the standard DIN ISO 13406-2 (Class III).

TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background lighting can decrease during the period of us e of the notebook. The brightness of your monitor can be s et individually with the brightness cont rol keys of the key board.

Battery

The battery is one of t he m ost important components of your notebook. When not plugged into a mains outlet, the notebook runs on its buil t-in battery. You c an i ncrease the life of t he bat tery by caring for the battery properl y. The average battery li fe is around 500 charge/disc harge cycles. You can extend the battery life by taki ng advantage of the available energy saving functi ons.

Only use batteries rel eased for your notebook.

Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

The notebook battery can onl y be charged, when the ambient t em perature is between 5 °C and max. 40 °C.

Take care not to drop the batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk). If the rechargeable batt eri es are defective, t hey must not be used. Do not touch the contacts of the batteri es. Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery. Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations (special waste). Observe the informat i on on battery storage in the "Important notes" c hapter.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter (see "Connec ting the power adapter").

A notebook battery will fully charge in approximately three hours in a notebook that is switched off. A notebook battery will fully charge in approximately 4.5 hours if t he not ebook is switched on.

It is a good idea to discharge the battery completely before recharging it, as this will extend battery lifetime. Work i n the battery mode until an acoustic warning prompts you to recharge and the poweron indicator in the st atus indicator panel begins to flash. The notebook bat tery should not be charged before this point .

If you do not connec t the power adapter within five m i nutes of the signals described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the not ebook. Never

Ê Position the battery at the edge of the casing (1). Ê Tilt and put the battery into the batt ery compartment (2). Ê Push the battery lock in the di rection of the arrow (3) up to the s top.

Using the power-management features

The notebook uses less power when t he power m anagement features are enabled. You will then be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.

If you are connect ed t o a network or use an integrated modem , PC LAN card, or PC

modem card, we advise agai nst enabling an energy savi ng m ode. This could lead to an interruption of your network connection.

When not using the notebook f or l ong peri ods of time, first end the energy saving m ode, then switch off the notebook. Never swit ch the notebook off wit h t he Suspend/Resume button while the notebook i s in one of the energy-savi ng modes.

If your notebook is in an energy-saving mode:

• Do not connect any ex ternal devices.

• Do not disconnect any external devices .

• Do not attempt to s wi tch the notebook on if t he bui l t-in battery is fl at.

• Do not change or remove the fl oppy disk, if inserted.

• Do not add or remove RAM.

• Do not add or remove a PC card.

The operating system uses ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management under Windows XP. The energy saving functi ons can be activated under Start – Control Panel – Performance and Maintenance – Power Options. Under Windows, Hibernate is activated by default.
