If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, LTE) is incorporated into your notebook,  
you must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:  
Switch off the radio components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.  
Switch off the radio components when you are in a hospital, an operating room or near a medical  
electronics system. The transmitted radio waves can impair the operation of medical devices.  
Switch off the radio components when you let the device get near ammable  
gases or into hazardous environments (e.g. petrol station, paintshops), as the  
transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a re.

Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation  
for your radio component.  
If you wish to use your notebook during a ight, rst check with the ight  
attendants if it is OK to do so.  
When travelling in other countries  
If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the  
local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for  
your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!  
Check whether the local mains voltage and the power cable are compatible. If this is  
not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions.  
Enquire with the corresponding government ofce of the country you will be  
travelling in as to whether you may operate the radio component integrated in  
your notebook there (see also "CE marking", Page 67).  
Notebook: transporting  
Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures  
(e.g. direct sunlight in a car).  
If your device has an optical drive, remove all data media (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives.

LCD screen  
LNCoDtescreen  
High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in Fujitsu notebooks. For technical reasons,  
these screens are manufactured for a particular resolution. An optimum and sharp image can  
only be ensured with the resolution intended for the particular screen. A screen resolution  
which differs from the specication can result in an unclear image.  
The resolution of your notebook’s screen is set to the optimum at the factory.  
Current production technology cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A  
few isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of  
faulty pixels is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class 4).  
Example:  
A screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 has 1280 x 800 = 1024000 pixels. Each pixel consists of  
three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 3 million subpixels in total. According to ISO  
9241-307 (class 4), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark pixels and in addition 5 light or 10 dark subpixels  
or an equivalent mix (1 light subpixel counts as 2 dark subpixels) are allowed to be defective.  
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  
Cluster  
A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structure  
within a pixel that enhances the pixel function.  
A cluster contains two or more defective pixels or  
subpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.  
Background lighting  
LCD screens 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 screen individually.  
Synchronising the display on the LCD screen and an external monitor

Webcam  
Webcam  
Depending on the software used, you can use your Webcam to take pictures,  
record video clips or take part in web chats.  
The picture quality depends on the lighting conditions and the software being used.  
You can only operate the webcam with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telephony  
program or a video conferencing program which supports a webcam).  
When using the webcam the notebook support must not wobble.  
The webcam automatically adjusts itself to the current light level. For this reason  
the LCD screen may icker while the light level is adjusted.

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.  
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery  
Battery  
The notebook battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is  
between 5°C / 41°F and max. 35°C / 95°F.  
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter  
If the battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter  
within ve minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

Store battery packs in a dry environment at a temperature between 0°C / 32°F and 30°C / 86°F. 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 (longer than two months),  
the battery charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive  
discharge which would permanently damage the battery, check the level  
of charge 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.  
Removing and installing the battery  
Only use batteries approved by Fujitsu for your notebook.  
Never use force when tting or removing a battery.  
Make sure that no foreign bodies get into the battery connections.  
Never store a battery for long periods in the discharged state. This  
can make it impossible to recharge.

Handling data carriers  
Handling  
Observe the following guidelines when handling data carriers:  
Avoid touching the surface of a data carrier. Only handle data carriers by their edges.  
Always store data carriers in their cases. This will protect the data carrier against  
being covered in dust, scratched or damaged in any other way.  
Protect your data carriers against dust, mechanical vibrations and direct sunlight.  
Avoid storing a data carrier in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.  
You can use data carriers with a diameter of 8 cm / 3.15" or 12 cm / 4.7" in the drive.  
When using a data carrier of lesser quality, vibrations and reading errors may occur.

CD/DVD indicator  
CD/DVDindicator  
The CD/DVD indicator ashes when a data carrier is inserted. The indicator goes out when  
the drive is ready for reading. The indicator lights up when the drive is being accessed.  
You may only remove the data carrier when the indicator is unlit.  
If the CD/DVD indicator does not go out after a data carrier has been inserted, but  
instead continues to ash, this means that the drive cannot access the data carrier.  
Either the data carrier is damaged or dirty or you are using a data  
carrier that the drive cannot read.
