Safety Instructions
− The notebook is not intended for use by companies in the heavy
industry sector.
− To avoid damage from lightning strikes, do not operate the
notebook during thunderstorms.
− Do not place any objects on top of the notebook and do not
exert pressure on the display. Otherwise, there is a risk that the
display may break.
− 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.
− Do not fold the display back by an angle of more than 120°.
Exceeding this value may damage the housing or the notebook.
Always hold the display firmly by the middle when folding it
back, adjusting the position and closing it. Failure to do so may
damage the display. Never use force to open the display.
− In order to avoid any damage to the device, ensure that the
plug contacts do not come into contact with water under any
circumstances. If this should nevertheless occur, it is imperative
that the plug contacts are rubbed dry before the device is used
again.
− To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with fingers or
sharp objects.
− Never lift the notebook up by the display as this could break the
hinges.
− Over time, dust can collect inside the notebook which then
blocks the vents. This can lead to an increase in the fan speed
and, therefore, also increase the operating volume of your
notebook. It can also lead to overheating and malfunctions.
Therefore, have the interior of the notebook cleaned by your
service department or a specialist at regular intervals.

Safety Instructions
Setup Location
− Keep your notebook and all connected devices away from
moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Noncompliance with these instructions can lead to faults or damage
to the notebook.
− Do not use the notebook outdoors because external elements,
such as rain, snow, etc., could damage it.
− Set up and operate all components on a stable, level and
vibration-free surface to prevent the notebook from falling
down.
− Do not operate the notebook or power adaptor for long periods
on your lap or any other body part as the heat dissipation on the
underside can result in uncomfortable overheating.
− This device is not suitable for use with VDU workstations.
Environmental Requirements
− The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient
temperature between 5°C (+41°F) and 30°C (+86°F) and
at a relative humidity between 20% and 80% (without
condensation).
− When powered off, the notebook can be stored at
temperatures between 0°C and 60°C (+32°F and 140°F).
− During a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains plug. For extra
safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection device
to prevent the notebook from sustaining damage as a result of
power surges or lightning strikes.
− After transporting the notebook, wait until the device has
reached room temperature before switching it on. Large
changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause
moisture build up within the notebook due to condensation.
This can cause an electrical short circuit.
− Keep the original packaging in the event the device needs to
be sent in.

Safety Instructions
Ergonomics
NOTICE!
Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast 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 difficult 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 reflections 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
artificial lighting equipment.
In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where
the workspace is illuminated with artificial 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, reflections 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 artificial lighting equipment.

Mains Power
Your notebook comes with a universal mains adapter for alternating current
which automatically adapts to the available power source. The following
values are supported: AC 100–240 V~/50 – 60Hz. Observe the safety
information concerning the power supply on pages 12 ff.
The adapter is connected to an AC outlet via a mains cable. The mains adapter
DC cable is connected to the notebook.
The adapter supplies the notebook with power and also charges the battery.
Your battery will also be charged while you work on your notebook with the
mains adapter connected. The mains adapter also consumes power when
the notebook is not connected to it. You should therefore always remove the
mains adapter plug from the socket when it is not connected to the notebook.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Only use this notebook and accompanying mains adapter with each
other.

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 offices, 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.

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). For Bluetooth high speed data transfer, Wi-Fi must be
enabled and the partner station must also support the high speed mode.
NOTICE!
Do not operate the Bluetooth function in locations (e.g.: hospitals, air

Microsoft Account
A Microsoft account is an email address and password for logging in to
Windows® 8. You can use any email address. We recommend using the
address you use to communicate with friends and log into your favourite web
sites, however.
The Microsoft account also allows you to purchase or download apps from the
Store and install them on up to five devices.
Once you have logged on to your notebook using a Microsoft account, you
also have access to the various services and programs provided by Microsoft.
• The contact information and status updates for your friends from services
such as Hotmail, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn will be updated automatically as soon as you run these services using your Microsoft account.
• You can also access and share your photos, documents and other fi les via
SkyDrive, Facebook and Flickr.
• Your personal settings, including designs, language settings, Internet
favourites and apps will be synchronised with each PC running Windows®
8 that you log on to.
• You can obtain Apps from the Windows

Software
Taskbar (Desktop Mode)
You can start programs from the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and
switch between programs already running. In Windows® 8 you can place any
program onto the taskbar, so that you can always open it with a single click.
You can also rearrange the icons on the taskbar by simply clicking on them
and dragging them to the desired position. Move the mouse pointer over the
icons and thumbnails of each file or each open window and that program will
be displayed. If you move the mouse pointer over the thumbnail, a full screen
preview of the window in question appears. When you move the mouse
pointer away from the thumbnail again, the full screen preview closes.
Jump Lists
Jump lists offer a practical way of calling up recently opened files. To display
the recently used files, simply right-click on the application icon in the
taskbar. Thus if you right-click on the Word icon, the recently used Word
documents are displayed. You can also easily place other files you wish to
have easily to hand in the jump list so that they are always displayed. This
allows you to access documents that you use frequently in just a few mouse
clicks.
The jump lists for certain programs such as Windows® 8 Media Player can be
populated in advance with frequently used commands. Thus, for example,
you will see options to play all music or to reopen the last playlist in the jump
list for Windows® 8 Media Player.
The frequently visited and last visited websites are displayed in the jump list
for Internet Explorer. This therefore allows you to quickly access commands
for certain programs that could previously only be called up from the
program itself, such as the command to compose a new email message.
Improved Desktop
Windows® 8 simplifies working with windows on the desktop. You therefore
have more intuitive options for opening and closing, changing sizes and
rearranging.
Windows® 8 makes completing everyday tasks even simpler. The locking
function (snaps) makes it easier to compare two open windows, for example.
You do not need to manually adjust the size of the opened windows to make
a comparison. Simply drag the window to one of the screen margins using
the mouse and it will fill half of the screen.

“Devices” function. All devices are shown in a central location.
With the new “Device Stage” technology, however, Windows® 8 goes one
step further with device management. Device Stage helps you to use all
compatible devices that are connected to the computer. Thanks to Device
Stage you can now display the device status and perform frequently used
commands within a single window. Here you will even find images of the
devices so you can easily see which devices are connected. The device
manufacturers can even adjust Device Stage. For example, if your camera
manufacturer releases an updated version of Device Stage, you can see
details such as the number of photos on the camera and get links to useful
information when you connect the camera to your notebook.
Home Group
With home network groups, a Windows® 8 function, connecting home
computers becomes child’s play. A home network group is set up
automatically when you connect the first PC running Windows® 8 to the
®
home network. Adding additional PC’s running Windows
network group can be done very quickly. You can specify precisely what
should be shared on each PC with all other PCs in the home network group.
Sharing files on the various home PCs – and on many other devices – is
then as easy as if all the data were located on a single hard drive. Thus, you
can save digital photos on the computer in the study and then access them
easily on a notebook in any other room. Similarly, the printer in the study is
automatically shared among all PCs in the house once they are part of the
home network group.

What To Do in Case of Hardware Problems
Malfunctions can sometimes have quite trivial causes, but they may also be
the result of defective components. We have included a brief troubleshooting
guide below which may help to solve any problems.
If these tips don’t do the trick, then we’ll be more than pleased to help
you out. Just give us a call!
Find the Cause
Start by carefully checking all the cable connections. If the notebook is
connected to peripheral devices, check all the cable connections here too.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Do not swap around the cables for the various devices, even if they
look alike. The pin assignments within the cables may be different.
The notebook will not switch on.
− If the notebook is in battery mode, connect the notebook to the mains
adapter and check that the battery is charged or being charged.
− If you are already operating the notebook using the mains adapter,
disconnect the mains adapter from the socket and connect an electrical
appliance such as a lamp to the same socket to test it. If the lamp does not
work either, seek the advice of an electrician.
The screen is black.
• This fault can have various causes:

Do You Need More Help?
You’ve checked through the suggestions in the previous section and you’re
still having problems with your device? Then call our hotline or contact us at
www.medion.com. We’ll be glad to help you.
Before contacting your technology centre, however, prepare the following
information:

Driver Support
The system has been thoroughly and successfully tested with the installed
drivers in our test laboratory. It is normal in the computer sector, however, for
the drivers to need updating from time to time. This is because there may be
compatibility problems with other components (programs, devices) which
have not yet been tested. You can find current drivers on the Internet at the
following address:

Transport
Please note the following information if you wish to transport the Notebook:
− Switch the Notebook off. This ensures that the hard drive heads are
automatically moved to a safe area to avoid damage.
− After transporting the Notebook, wait until the appliance has reached
room temperature before switching it on. Large changes in temperature
or fl uctuations in humidity can cause moisture build-up within the
Notebook due to condensation. This can cause an electrical short circuit.
− Close the Notebook and check that the lid is fi rmly closed.
− Always use a Notebook carrying case to protect the Notebook from dirt,
moisture, vibrations and scratches.
− Always use the original cardboard packaging to ship your Notebook and
obtain advice on this from your carrier.
− Always charge your battery fully before embarking on longer trips and do
not forget to take along your mains adapter.
− Find out about the power and communication options available in your
destination before travelling.
− Where necessary, purchase the required power or communication
adapter (LAN etc.) before departure.
− When going through the hand luggage check at the airport it is
recommended that you send the Notebook and all magnetic storage
media (external hard drives) through the x-ray facility (the device that
scans your bags). Avoid the magnetic sensor (the structure that you walk
through) or the magnetic hand scanner (the manual device used by
security personnel) as this may destroy your data, among other things.

European EN 9241-307 Class II Standard
European EN 9241-307 Class II Standard
For active matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, each
of which consist of three sub-pixels (red, green, blue), there are a total of
approx. 6.2 million control transistors in use. 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 defining 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 ISO 9241-307, Class
II; which has been briefly summarised below.
The EN 9241-307 standard defines, 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 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 subpixels.
• 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)
Supplement: Type 3 cluster (= failure of two or more sub-pixels within a 5 x 5
pixel block). A cluster is a field of 5 x 5 pixels (15 x 5 sub-pixels).
