• A VGA monitor connection to be able to connect an external screen.

• a CD/DVD burner for watching DVD movies or reco rding your own C Ds and DVDs

• several US B ports for easy expansion with webcams, game pads, printers and more.
All USB ports are connections with a charging function, i.e. they can be used to charge
a connected USB device even when the n otebook is switched off.

• an integral webcam to take photo s or to video chat

• internal LAN or wireless LAN for Internet access

• an ExpressCard slot for operating an ExpressCard (type 34/54)

Please read the chapter entitled "Important notes", Page 4.

GettingstartedNo tebookGettingstartedNotebook

Before you can use your notebook for the first time you need to charge the battery and install the
supplied software. The Windows operating system and drivers required are already pre-installed.

Upon delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment or in the accessories kit. The
battery must be charged if you want to operate your notebook with the battery.

When not plugged into a mains outlet, the noteboo k runs on its built-in battery. You can
increase the battery’s life by enabling the system’s energy saving functions.

When you use your notebook in your home or office, we recommend you use
the mains adapter instead of the battery.

Please read the chapter entitled "

Connecting external devices", Page 43 for instructions on

how to connect devices such as a mouse and a printer to the notebook.

Using your notebook for the first time

Selecting the location

Location,selectingtheNotebookPoweradapter

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 damage due to o verheating.

• Do not place the notebook directly on your legs for extended periods. The
underside of the notebook heats up during normal operation. Extended contact
with the skin can become unpleasant or even result in burns.

• Place the notebook on a stable, flat, non-slip 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 on the notebook or the mains adapter.

• Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect
the notebook against dust, humidity and heat.

Information on the LCD screen

LCDscreenNotes

High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Compu ters 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 m on itor resolution is understood to be the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (i.e. "picture
elements") which make up the monitor display. For example, "W UXG A" 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.

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 guarant ee 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 standa rd 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 subpixe ls. That is approx. 0.0007 % of the entire subpixel!

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

BatteryBatteryLife,batteryRechargeablebatteryRechargeablebattery

The battery is one of the most important components of your notebook. When not plugged into a
mains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by
caring for the battery 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.

You can increase the time for which your notebook will operate under b attery
power. We therefore recommend that while operating under battery power, you

should switch off the Windows Vista Aero graphics user interface.

► Select Startsymbol – (Settings) – C

Charging, caring for and maint

aining the battery

BatteryBattery

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 power adapter
(see "

Connecting the power adapter", Page 9).

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 run ning low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter w ithin
five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

Information on the battery charging time can be found in "

Technical data", Page 62.

Monitoring the battery charging level

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 batt ery status.

capacity,battery

Keep the battery pack between 0 °C and +30 °C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). 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 (more than two months), the battery
charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive discharge, check the
charging leve l of the battery at regular intervals.

To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.

If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.

On the USB ports, you can connect external devices that also have a USB
port (e.g. a printer, a scanner or a modem).

Thanks to the built-in U SB charging function, you can charge or supply power to a
connected USB device even when the notebook is switched off (e.g. you could charge
a PDA or a mobile phone or connect a USB lamp).

The power supply unit must be connected before the notebook is switched
off, as otherwise the USB charging function will not be active and
connected USB devices will not be charged.

Some USB devices (e.g. mobile telephony) require a driver in order to utilise the USB
charging function. In this case the USB charging function will not work when the
notebook is switched off, as no drivers are active when the notebook is switched off.

USB devices are hot-pluggable. This means you can connect and disconnect
devices while your operating system is running.

USB 1.x has a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Mbit/s.

USB 2.x has a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbit/s.

Additional information can be found in the documentation for the USB devices.
