Your LIFEBOOK T...
... is a so-called "Convertible Notebook" which works just as well and reliably as a notebook as it
does as a Tablet PC. You can put the convertible notebook on the table as a notebook or hold it in
your hands as a Tablet PC. Use the keyboard to type or write directly on the display with the pen.
The Convertible Notebook is always there to support you when you are working on the go.
Your operating system is pre-installed on the hard disk to facilitate the procedure when you use your
notebook for the first time. In addition to the well-known Windows functionality, this operating system
also has handwriting recognition as well as other settings that are specific for its use as a Tablet PC.
If you connect the notebook to a Port Replicator (which is available to order as an optional
accessory) you can enjoy the benefits of a number of additional connection options. The Port
Replicator provides you with four USB 2.0 interfaces as well as LAN and monitor ports (analogue
and digital). Here you can connect peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads,
keyboard, or mouse.
Your notebook has a number of security functions to ensure that no unauthorised persons can
access your data. For example, you can protect access to your data with the security functions in the
BIOS Setup or with the fingerprint sensor.
This operating manual shows you how to start using your notebook and how to operate it in daily
use.
Further information on this device is provided:
● in the "Safety" manual
● in the "Wireless LAN" manual
● in the documentation of the operating system
● in the information files (e.g.

Preparing the notebook for use
Selecting a location
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following
!
points when looking for 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.

the notebook heats up during normal operation. Long periods of contact with the skin
can become unpleasant or even result in burns.
● Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. Please note that the rubber
feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
● Never place the notebook and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
● Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the mains
adapter.
● Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.

Notes about the LCD screen
High-quality TFT displays with especially bright background lighting 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 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 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, "UXGA" stands for 1600 x 1200 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a result, a
UXGA monitor consists of 1600 x 1200 x 3 = 5.760.000 subpixels.
Frequently used monitor resolutions Number of pixels
XGA 1024 x 768
WSXGA (Wide SXGA) 1280 x 768
WXGA 1280 x 800
SXGA 1280 x 1024
SXGA+ 1400 x 1050
UXGA 1600 x 1200
WUXGA 1920 x 1200
The correct screen resolution for your notebook is specified in the corresponding section in the
chapter "
Permanently unlit or lit pixels
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number
of pixel faults is stipulated in the strict international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
Technical data".
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 faulty subpixels. That is approx. 0.0007% of the entire
number of subpixels.
Pixel A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, normally red, green and blue. A
pixel is the smallest element that can be generated by complete
functionality of the display.
Subpixel A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structure within a

damaged if used improperly. 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 of the slot.
● Never store the pen with the tip bearing the weight of the pen (e.g., sitting tip down in
a pencil cup). 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 garage when not in use.
The pen can be influenced 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.
With the pen you can run all functions for which you otherwise use a mouse. In addition, you can
very conveniently delete hand-written pen entries using the pen.
Select menu entries (click with the left mouse button)
► Touch the menu entry with the pen tip.
Start programs (double-click with the left mouse button)
► Briefly touch the program symbol twice consecutively with the pen tip.
Move objects/windows (drag with left mouse button pressed)
► Place the pen tip directly on the object/window, hold the pen tip pressed against the screen and
move the desired object/window.
Open context menu (click with the right mouse button)
► Touch the desired element with the stylus and leave the stylus on the element for a moment.
Or
► Press the front part of the rocker button (facing toward the pen tip) and simultaneously touch
the corresponding position with the pen tip.

Battery
The battery supplies your notebook with the necessary power during mobile use. You can increase
battery life by enabling the system's power management features.
The life of the battery is dependent on its proper storage, the number of charging/discharging cycles
and the operating temperature of the notebook.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
!
Only use batteries approved by Fujitsu Siemens Computers for your notebook.
Take care not to drop batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk).
If rechargeable batteries develop a fault please stop using them immediately.
Do not touch the contacts of batteries.
Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery.
Batteries are harmful to the environment. You should dispose of them following guidance
from your local District Council.
Charging the battery
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter. The battery can only
be recharged if the ambient temperature of the notebook falls within the permitted temperature
range. The time taken to charge the battery depends on its usage. Information on the battery
charging time is contained in the chapter "
You can increase the life of your battery by allowing it to fully discharge before recharging 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.

Storing the 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 is the rate of self-discharge.
If you store rechargeable batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge
level should be approx. 30%. To prevent exhaustive discharge, check the charging level of the
batteries at regular intervals.

Wireless data transfer with infrared interface
The infrared interface (IrDA) of your notebook permits wireless serial data transfer at up to 4 Mbits/s.
For data transfer, you must align the infrared interface of your notebook with that of the partner
device (e.g. a Pocket PC). The devices must not be more than one metre apart. The infrared
interface of one device must be in the range of influence (horizontally approx. 30° and vertically
approx. 15°) of the infrared interface of the other device.
The operating system automatically searches for infrared signals.
If the infrared partner device was not found, realign the two devices differently with each other.

Select a suitable location for the Port Replicator before setting it up. Consider the following
!
points when looking for a location:
● Never place the Port Replicator on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered
furniture, bed). This can block the air vents of the notebook and cause overheating
and damage.
● Place the Port Replicator on a stable, flat and nonslippery surface. Please note that
the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
● Never place the Port Replicator and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.
● Do not expose the Port Replicator to extreme environmental conditions.

A SmartCard reader is integrated in your notebook. With the appropriate software you can use your
SmartCard as an alternative to password protection, but also as a digital signature, for encrypting
your e-mails or for homebanking.
SmartCards
SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCards that comply with
the ISO standard 7816-1, -2, -3 and -4. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.
We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards in a safe
place if you carry the other SmartCard with you.
The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN so protection is maintained even when the
i
SmartCard is lost. In order to maximise your security, the SmartCard, which is available as
an accessory, is disabled if three incorrect attempts are made to enter the PIN.
The first time you use your SmartCard you must enter the preset PIN provided by the
SmartCard manufacturer or your system administrator.
Please refer to the software documentation for information about which SmartCards are
supported by the software.
