Information about the Touchpad
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
The touchpad is a highly sensitive input device and it will respond
to a light touch and minimal pressure.
− Never use undue force to operate the touchpad as this could
damage or destroy it.
The touchpad is operated with the thumb or another fi nger and
reacts to the energy given out by the skin. Dust or grease on the
touchpad can affect its sensitivity.
− Do not use pens or other objects as these can damage your
touchpad.
− Remove the dust or grease from the surface of the touchpad
with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth.
Protecting the Display
21
Safety Instructions
The display is the most sensitive component part of the device as it
consists of thin glass.
The display can break if subjected to too much stress.
− Do not allow any objects to drop onto the display.
− Do not place any objects on the display.
− Do not scratch the display with your fi ngernails or hard objects.
− Do not fold the display back by an angle of more than 120°.
Exceeding this value may damage the housing or the device.
Always hold the display fi rmly by the middle when folding it
back, adjusting the position and closing it.
− If the screen breaks, there is a danger of injury. If this happens,
pick up the shattered pieces wearing protective gloves and
send them to your service centre for professional disposal.
Finally, wash your hands with soap, as the pieces may have
been contaminated with chemicals.
− Never lift the notebook up by the display as this could break the
hinges. Avoid contact between the display and hard objects
(e.g. buttons, wristwatch).
Data Backup
Back up your data on external storage media before each update. We do
not accept any liability for claims for compensation arising from loss of
data or any consequential loss or damage.
22
Safety Instructions
Ergonomics
Avoid dazzle, refl ections and a light-dark contrast that is too strong in
order to protect your eyes.
The notebook should never be placed next to a window because this is the brightest
part of the room in daylight. This brightness can make it more diffi cult for the eyes to
adjust to the darker display. The notebook should always be positioned so that the
direction of vision is parallel to the window front.
Setting up the notebook with your back to the window is incorrect as refl ections from
the bright window on the screen will then be unavoidable. A position looking onto
the window is also incorrect as the contrast between the dark screen and the bright
daylight can cause problems for the eyes to adjust and result in problems.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation to artifi cial lighting
equipment.
In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where the workspace is
illuminated with artifi cial light. Where space restrictions make it impossible to set up
the screen as described, then correct positioning (rotating, tilting) of the notebook/
screen can prevent dazzling, refl ections and excessive bright-dark contrast, etc. In
many cases, an improvement can also be achieved by using slats or vertical blinds on
the windows, partition walls or by changing the artifi cial lighting equipment.
Take regular breaks when working at your notebook to prevent tenseness
and fatigue.
Sitting for a long time without changing position can be uncomfortable. Correct
posture is very important for minimising the risks of physical problems or damage.

Safety Instructions
• In general – change your position frequently (around every 20-30 minutes)
and take regular breaks to avoid tiredness.
• Back – when sitting at your workstation, your back must be supported by your
chair’s backrest, which must be upright or angled slightly back.
• Arms – your arms and elbows should be relaxed and loose. Your elbows should
be close to your body. Hold your forearms and hands roughly parallel to the
fl oor.
• Wrists – when working with the keyboard, mouse or trackball, your wrists
should be stretched out and not bent at an angle of more than 10°, where
possible. Make sure that your wrists are not resting on the table edge itself.
• Legs – your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly down. Your lower
legs should form an angle with your thighs of approximately 90°. Your feet
should be resting fl at on the fl oor. Use a foot rest if you need one, but fi rst make
sure that your seat height has been adjusted correctly.
• Head – your head should be upright or bent very slightly forward. Do not work
with your head or upper body twisted.
As you work, the top edge of the monitor should be at eye level or very slightly
lower.
The distance between the monitor and the person viewing it depends on
individual requirements. Distances between 50 and 70cm are commonly used.

functionality of sensitive electronic devices, such as pacemakers or
implanted cardioverter defi brillators.
− Keep the product at least 20 cm away from these devices, as
radio signals and electromagnetic radiation may affect their
functionality.
The radio waves emitted may cause interference to hearing aids.
Data security
The manufacturer is not liable for data loss due to unsecured access by third parties.
Secure your WLAN network with suitable encryption so that third parties
cannot access your data.

Network Operation
Requirements
A so called Wi-Fi access point may be used as a remote station. A Wi-Fi access point is a
radio transmitting device that communicates with your notebook and controls access
to the connected network.
Wi-Fi access points are frequently found in large offi ces, airports, train stations,
universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to particular services and networks
or to the Internet.
Access permissions are generally necessary and often result in usage charges.
Access points often have built-in DSL modems. These so called routers establish the
connection to the existing DSL Internet connection and the Wi-Fi.
A connection can also be established to another end device with Wi-Fi functionality
without an access point. Without a router, however, the network is restricted to those
devices directly connected to it.
If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used for all devices.
Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from unauthorised access.
The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of users
accessing the remote station.
Bluetooth®
Bluetooth technology is used to wirelessly bridge short distances. Bluetooth devices
transfer data via radio so that computers, mobile phones, printers, keyboards, mice
and other devices can communicate with one another wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless
technology has numerous possible applications. A few of them are listed below:
• Creating a wireless Internet connection using a mobile phone.
• Transferring fi les between computers or between a computer and another device.
• Printing using a Bluetooth printer.
• Using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
• Connecting to a PAN (Personal Area Network).
• The Bluetooth wireless technology data transfer speed can vary depending
on the device or environmental factors. Data can be transferred through walls,
jacket pockets and briefcases using a Bluetooth device. The transfer between
Bluetooth devices occurs at the high frequency of 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz).
Do not operate the Bluetooth function in locations (e.g.: hospitals, air
planes, etc.) where there is sensitive equipment. Do not switch the device
unless you are sure it will cause no interference.

Information on Display Errors
Information on Display Errors
European EN ISO 92 41-307 Class II Standard
Due to the very high number of transistors and the associated extremely complex
manufacturing processes used, occasionally one or more pixels can fail or become
incorrectly controlled.
In the past, there were a number of approaches for defi ning the permitted number
of pixel defects. However, these approaches were mostly very complicated and
varied from one manufacturer to the next. When handling warranty issues for all
of its display products, MEDION therefore adheres to the strict and transparent
requirements of the standard EN ISO 9241-307, Class II; which has been briefl y
summarised below.
The EN ISO 9241-307 standard defi nes, amongst other things, the generally applicable
guidelines relating to pixel defects. Pixel defects are categorised into four fault classes
and three defect types. Every individual pixel consists of three sub-pixels, each of
which is assigned a basic colour (red, green, blue).
Pixel structure
5 Pixel
Rows
5 Pixel
Sub-Pixel
Pixel defect types:
• Type 1:
permanently illuminated pixel (bright, white dot) even when not activated. A
white pixel occurs due to the illumination of all three sub-pixels.
• Type 2:
non-illuminated pixel (dark, black dot) even when activated.
• Type 3:
abnormal or faulty red, green or blue sub-pixel (e.g. permanently illuminated at
half brightness, one colour not illuminated, fl ashing or fl ickering but not type 1
or 2)
