Preparing your notebook for use
Selecting the Location
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following
!
points when selecting a location:
● Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause overheating and damage.
● Do not place the notebook on your legs for a long period of time. The underside of
the notebook heats up during normal operation. Prolonged contact with the skin can
become unpleasant or may even cause burns.
● Place the notebook on a stable, flat, non-slippery surface. Please note that the
rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
● Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its mains adapter to ensure
adequate ventilation.
● Never cover the ventilation slots of the notebook or the mains adapter.
● Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the notebook against dust, humidity and heat.
Mains adapter: connecting
Follow the instructions in "Safety information".
!
The power cable supplied conforms to the requirements of the country in which you
purchased your notebook. Make sure that the power cable is approved for use in the
country in which you intend to use it.
The mains adapter's power cable must only be connected to a mains socket if the notebook
is connected to the mains adapter.
Make sure that the rated current of the mains adapter is not higher than that of the power
system to which you connect it (see technical data for the mains adapter).

LCD screen
Information on the LCD screen
High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. For
technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture
can only be ensured in the resolution intended for the particular TFT monitor. A monitor resolution
which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.
The monitor resolution is understood to be the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (i.e. picture
elements) which make up the monitor display. For example, "WUXGA" stands for 1920 x 1200
pixels. Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a
result, a WUXGA monitor consists of 1920 x 1200 x 3 = 6,912,000 subpixels.
Frequently used monitor resolutions Number of pixels
XGA 1024 x 768
WXGA 1280 x 800
SXGA 1280 x 1024
SXGA+ 1400 x 1050
WXGA+ 1440 x 900
UXGA 1600 x 1200
WSXGA 1680 x 1050
WUXGA 1920 x 1200
The screen resolution of the LCD screen of your notebook is optimally set at the factory.
Permanently unlit or lit pixels
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of
pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
Example:
A 15" LCD screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 = 786432 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 2.4 million
subpixels in total. According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and 5 subpixels
may be defective, i.e. a total of 17 faulted subpixels. That is approx. 0.0007 % of the entire set
of subpixels!
Background lighting
TFT monitors 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.

Battery
The battery is one of the most important components of your notebook. When not plugged into a
mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by
caring for it properly. The average battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and
max. 35°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter (see "Mains adapter:
connecting
You can maintain long life from your battery by allowing it to discharge fully before you recharge it
again. To do this, leave your notebook turned on when it is operated with the battery. Once the
battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within
five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.
").
Information on the battery charging time is contained in the "
Battery charging level, monitoring
Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When
you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.
Battery: storing
Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are
stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge level
should be approx. 30%. To prevent deep discharge, check the charge level of the battery at regular
intervals.
To utilise the optimum charging capacity of the battery, it should be completely discharged and then
fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never
