Manufacturer’s notes Important notes

Energy saving

If you will not be using your notebook, switch it off. Make use of the devi ce's energy saving functions (see "Work i ng wi th the notebook"). The notebook

uses less power when the power management features are enabled. You will then be able to work for longer before having to rec harge the battery.

Energy saving under Windows If a monitor with energy saving features is connected to your notebook, you can use the Screen Saver

tab to activat e the energy saving features of the monitor. Sel ect the following it em i n the start menu:

Settings - Control Panel - Display - Display Properties - Screen Saver - Energy saving functions for the display. You can set additional energy saving funct i ons in the start menu by selecting the following item: Settings - Control Panel - Energy - Extended.

Energy Star

The notebook from Fujits u Siemens Computers is designed to conserve

electricity by dropping to less t han 8 W when i t goes into standby/suspend mode and to less than 3 W when it goes into OFF mode. With this l evel of power management, the notebook qual i fies for the U.S. E nvironmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Computers award.

The EPA estimates that comput er equipment uses 5 % percent of all business electricity and that

this is growing rapidly. If all desk top PCs and peripherals enter a low-power m ode when not in use, the overall savings in elect ric ity could amount to $ 2 milliard annually. These s avings could also prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into t he at mosphere - the equivalent of 5 million automobiles.

As an Energy Star P artner, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH has determ i ned that this product

meets the Energy S tar guidelines for energy efficiency.

Disposal and recycling

This device has been m anuf actured to the highest possible degree from material s which can be

recycled or disposed of in a manner that is not environmentall y damaging.

Working with the notebook Battery

Performing the battery learning cycle

The battery contains el ectronics that continuously monit or the battery charging lev el and di splay the current charging level. To compensate for meas uring errors in the electronics, and because the chemical properties of the battery change ov er time, the electronics must be recali brated regularly. This calibration is carried out using a battery learning cycle. Using the battery learning cycle ensures that the maximum battery capacity can always be used. Duri ng the learning cycle a defined charging cycle is carried out.

The battery learning cycle lasts between four and six hours and must not be aborted.

Ê Restart the notebook (switching ON/ OFF or warm boot).

The following display bri efly appears on the sc reen during start-up:

<ESC> Diagnostic screen <F12> Boot Menu <F2> BIOS Setup <F6> Battery learning

Ê Press function key [F6].

During this period you c an not work with the notebook! After six m ont hs, at the latest , you should run a learning cycle with the battery again.

The learning cycle is started. When the learning cycle is ended, a corresponding message is displayed.

Charging the battery

The battery indicat or di splays the remaining bat tery charge (see the "Indi cators" chapter). When you switch on the notebook , it takes a few seconds before the battery status is di splayed.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter (see "Connecting the power adapter and switching on the notebook").

The battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature i s between 5°C and max. 35°C. With the notebook switched on or off, the battery will completely recharge in approximately three to

four hours. Work in the battery m ode until an acoustic warni ng prompts you to recharge and the battery

indicator begins to f lash. The notebook battery 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.

After switc hi ng on the notebook and inserting t he S m artCard you are asked to enter y our PIN. Upon correct entry t he S m artCard is checked and the operating system is booted.

The SmartCard remains in t he S m artCard holder during the entire work session.

When the Smarty software (accessory) is used, a pass word i s stored on the SmartCard.

This password needs only be entered during the initial setup and in the case of password changes. As a res ul t , a long cryptic character sequence can be us ed as password which offers greater sec uri ty than a simple password.

In Smarty you can specify how the user i s to log on to the operating system:

• only with SmartCard and P IN

• either with SmartCard and P IN or with password entry

To install, conf i gure and use Smarty, please see the documentat i on and onl i ne hel p on t he CD for the Smarty software.

SmartCard for creating user profiles

With the Smarty software you can as sign individual rights for different users within a network with the same basic ins t al l ation under Windows 2000 and Windows NT. You save these individual user profiles on the Smart Cards of the individual users with Smarty. As a result, each user finds his/her individual configuration at any workstation within the network simply by inserting his/her SmartCard.

Please see the docum entation and the online help on the CD for the Smarty software for instruct i ons on how to create the personal us er profiles.

Using SmartCard for digital signatures

In place of credit card numbers or a bank connect i on, many e-commerce s uppl i ers also accept SmartCards for conc l udi ng sales contract s. Observe the corres pondi ng i nf ormation at the websites you visit. A prerequisite for this is Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
