If a wireless 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 wireless components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
Switch off the wireless 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 wireless components when you let the device get near flammable
gases or into hazardous environments (e.g. petrol station, paintshops), as the
transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.
For information on how to switch wireless components on and off, see chapter
Energy saving
NEnoetersgysaving
Switch the notebook off when it is not in use. Switch off external, connected devices if you
are not using them. If you use the energy saving functions, the notebook uses less energy.
You will then be able to work for longer before having to recharge the battery.
Energy efficiency is increased and the environmental impact is reduced.
You save money while protecting the environment.

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 specification can result in an unclear image.
The resolution of your notebook’s screen is set to the optimum at the factory.
With the present standards of production technology, absolutely flawless screen images
cannot be guaranteed. There may be a few constantly light or dark pixels (picture
elements) on the screen. The maximum permitted number of such faulty pixels is
specified in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class II).
Example:
A screen with an HD resolution of 1366 x 768 has 1366 x 768 = 1049088 pixels. Each pixel consists
of three subpixels (red, green and blue), making a total of about 3 million subpixels. According to ISO
9241-307 (class II), 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.

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’s rechargeable 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
Please note that the battery will not be charged if the battery state of charge is
between 90% and 100%. If the battery state of charge is less than 90% and the mains
adapter is connected, the battery will be charged to 100%.
When the battery state of charge is low, a message from the operating system appears.
If you do not connect the mains adapter within about 5 minutes of the message
appearing, 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 (more 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 intend to use a battery for long periods of time, remove it from
the notebook. Never store a battery in the device.
If the device will not be used for a period of more than two days, remove the
batteries from the device so that their state of charge is maintained.

whenever the USB port with charging function is in use, as this function will drain
the battery more quickly if an external USB device is being charged.
The power supply unit must already be connected when the notebook is
switched off, as otherwise the USB charging function will be disabled and
the connected USB devices will not be charged.
Some USB devices (e.g. mobile telephones) require a driver in order to utilise the
USB charging function. In this case the USB charging function will not work when the
notebook is switched off, as no drivers are active when the notebook is switched off.
