First-time setup of your device  
USB port with charging function (Anytime USB charge)  
USBchargingfunction  
It is recommended that the notebook be operated with the power supply connected  
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 utilize 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.  
You can use this USB port to charge or supply power to a USB device (e.g. to charge a PDA  
or a mobile phone or to connect a USB lamp), even if the notebook is switched off.  
How to remove USB devices correctly

Touchscreen/LCD screen function  
(device-dependent)  
LNCoDtescreen  
High-quality touchscreens are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu. For technical reasons, TFT  
monitors are manufactured for a specic 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 specication can result in an unclear picture.  
The screen resolution of the LCD screen of your notebook is optimally set 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 such  
faulty pixels is specied in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class II).  
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 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 monitor individually.  
Synchronising the display on the LCD screen and an external monitor

Recycling your battery  
Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a  
shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs,  
you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important  
that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that  
could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.  
Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the  
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a nonprot public service organization  
dedicated to protecting our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.  
RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and  
Canada. To nd the location nearest you, go to "www.RBRC.org" or call 1-800-822-8837.  
If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer  
Education Initiative website "http://EIAE.org/ " and search for a convenient disposal location.  
Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should  
make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.  
* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site  
at "www.shopfujitsu.com" in the US or "www.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks" in Canada.  
** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for  
battery recycling; RBRC is in no way afliated with Fujitsu.

Regulatory Notes and Statements  
Radio device, health and authorisation for use  
Radio-frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from the wireless devices. The energy levels  
of these emissions, however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from  
wireless devices such as mobile phones. Radio devices are safe for use by consumers because  
they operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.  
The use of the radio devices may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as:  
on board an airplane, or  
in an explosive environment, or  
in situations where the interference risk to other devices or services is  
perceived or identied as harmful.  
In cases in which the policy regarding use of radio devices in specic environments is not  
clear (e.g., airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, private buildings), obtain  
authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment.

ENERGY STAR Compliance  
Your Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR qualied mobile  
PC. By choosing a computer with the latest energy-saving  
technology, you’re helping to preserve our environment for future  
generations. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S.  
Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy,  
Natural Resources Canada, and other governments around the  
world helping us save money while protecting the environment  
through energy efcient products and practices. With energy

Sleep Mode:  
You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of  
user inactivity, and the computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When  
going into Sleep mode, the computer also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network  
links. To wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the Suspend/Resume Button.  
Energy saving benets:  
Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualied mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard  
equipment – saving half in utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference  
for the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the  
greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you ip on a light  
switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more greenhouse  
gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efciency,  
the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.

Image Backup and Recovery Procedures  
Thank you for purchasing a Fujitsu computer. Fujitsu is committed to bringing you  
the best computing experience with your new system.  
It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Recovery Image and Bootable Disk  
before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the instructions in the “Creating a  
Backup of Bootable Disk and Recovery Image” section of this document.  
It is also important that you create a copy of the software that is essential for your system to access the  
internet (hereafter called “essential access software”) to external writable media or an external drive.  
To do so, follow the instructions in the “Creating a Backup of the System-Specic Software Drivers”.  
Creating a Backup of Bootable Disk and Recovery Image  
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the recovery image was loaded into a  
hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the recovery image available to  
you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it and re-install  
the essential access software using Fujitsu Software Auto Installer.  
To make a copy of the recovery image to DVD disks, you will need three or four blank  
disks to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the disks and keep  
them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.  
Note: If your system does not have an internal writable DVD drive, connect your  
system to an external drive* before beginning the following steps.  
1. Launch System Restore and Recovery from the desktop icon. It will allow you to create  
the Bootable Disk and the Recovery Image Disk Set.  
2. On “Step 1: Select the Bootable Disk from the list”:  
a. Select a media type.  
b. Notice the number of disks that are needed for the set.  
c. Click Next to proceed.  
3. On “Step 2: Conrm your Recovery Disk”, click Next.  
4. On “Step 3:” follow the on-screen instructions to make the disk or disk set, then click  
Start. It takes approximately 20 minutes to make one disk.  
5. On “Step 4”, when the disk creation is completed, a message appears.  
Click Finish to exit the program.  
6. Repeat Step 1: Select Recovery Disk from the list and repeat the above  
steps 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 3, 4 and 5.  
* DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA  
TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKUPS.

Appendix  
Creating a Backup of Essential Access Software  
When you purchased your new system, a “Fujitsu Software Extractor” shortcut was loaded to  
“C:\Fujitsu\Drivers\AutoInstaller\”. This shortcut allows you to save the software driver packages  
along with the extracted Auto Installer software package to a selected location. It is recommended  
that you save these packages to writable media or an external drive. This ensures that in the  
event of system failure you will be able to re-install the essential access software.

RECOVER YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE HARD  
DRIVE IS STILL ACCESSIBLE  
Using the Recovery and Utility Tools  
The Recovery and Utility tools consist of a variety of tools that will help you recover your  
recovery image and system images, and delete the data from your hard disk.  
Methods for accessing the utilities  
Recovery and Utility Tools are preinstalled in a hidden partition by the factory, or  
they can be accessed by using the bootable disk.  
Note: The Recovery and Utility tools may be deleted from your hard disk  
drive if you modify the partitions. If that occurs, you will not be able to  
use the hidden partition for booting to Recovery and Utility Tools, but you  
will still be able to boot from the Bootable Disk.
