Additional safety precautions for devices with wireless LAN
If a radio component (Wireless LAN) is integrated in your notebook, you must be sure to observe the
following safety precautions when using your notebook:
●
●
●
The transmitted radio waves can cause an unpleasant humming in hearing aids.
Switch off the notebook when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
Switch off the radio components on the notebook (the Wireless LAN indicator must be dark)
when you are in a hospital, an operating room or near a medical electronics system. The
transmitted radio waves can impair the operation of the medical devices.
●
●
Keep the notebook at least 20 cm from a pacemaker, as otherwise the proper operation of the
pacemaker may be impaired by radio waves.
Do not let the notebook near flammable gases or into hazardous environments (e.g.
paintshops) with radio components switched on, as the transmitted radio waves can cause an
explosion or a fire (the Wireless LAN indicator must be dark).
●
●
The range of the radio connection is dependent on environmental and ambient conditions.
With data traffic via a wireless connection, it is also possible for unauthorised third parties to
receive data.
The company Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH cannot be held responsible for radio or television
faults arising from unauthorised changes made to this device. Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH is,

LCD screen
Information on LCD monitor
High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. For
technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture
can only be ensured in the resolution intended for the respective TFT monitor. A monitor resolution
which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.
The monitor resolution is understood to be the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (i.e. picture
elements) which make up the monitor display. For example, "UXGA" stands for 1600 x 1200 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a result, a
UXGA monitor consists of 1600 x 1200 x 3 = 5.760.000 subpixels.
Frequently used monitor resolutions

SXGA+
UXGA
1280 x 1024
1400 x 1050
1600 x 1200
The correct monitor resolution for your notebook is specified in the corresponding section in the
chapter "Technical data".
Permanently unlit or lit pixels
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number
of pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
Example:
A 15" LCD screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 = 786432 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 2,4 million
subpixels in total. According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and 5 subpixels
may be defective, i. e. a total of 17 faulted subpixels. That is approx. 0.0002 % of the entire
subpixel!
Background lighting
TFT monitors 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.

Setting the display brightness
You can adjust the brightness of your LCD screen with the keys Fn and F6 or F7 : With Fn
and F6 , screen brightness will be reduced and with Fn and F7 increased.
Synchronising the display on the LCD screen and an external monitor
Your notebook supports the simultaneous display on the LCD screen and an external monitor. If the
picture does not appear correctly on the LCD monitor, press the key combination Fn + F10
several times, or switch the external monitor off and then on again. This achieves good picture
synchronisation.
Adjusting the speed of the mouse pointer
You can change the speed of the mouse pointer under Start - Settings - Control Panel - Mouse and
clicking on the Motion tab.
Battery
The battery supplies your notebook with the necessary power during mobile use. You can increase
battery life by enabling the system's power management features.
The remaining battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the status indicator panel (see
also the "Indicators" section).
The standard battery will last for roughly 500 charge/discharge cycles, this will vary according to
which battery pack is fitted.

Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
Only use batteries released for your notebook.
!
Take care not to drop the batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk).
If the rechargeable batteries are defective, they must not be used.
Do not touch the contacts of the batteries.
Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery.
Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations (special waste).
Observe the information on battery storage in the "Important notes" chapter.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter.
The battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and max. 40°C.
Work in the battery mode until an acoustic warning or a message on the screen prompts you to
recharge and the battery indicator begins to flash orange (1 second on / 1 second off). The battery
should not be charged before this point.
If you do not connect the power adapter within five minutes of the signals described above, your
notebook will automatically switch to the energy-saving mode or off.
Storing the battery
Store the battery in a fully charged state. Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C (32 and
122 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower is
the rate of self-discharge.
If storing for a long period of time (longer than two months) batteries should be fully charged before
storage.
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 unit.
i
Monitoring the battery charging level
Power management includes a "battery charge meter" located in the task bar. When you place the
mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.

Energy Star
The notebook from Fujitsu Siemens Computers is designed to conserve
electricity by dropping to less than 8 W when it goes into standby/suspend
mode and to less than 3 W when it goes into OFF mode. With this level of
power management, the notebook qualifies for the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Computers award.
The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5 % percent of all business electricity and that
this is growing rapidly. If all desktop PCs and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in use,
the overall savings in electricity could amount to $ 2 milliard annually. These savings could also
prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the equivalent of 5
million automobiles.
As an Energy Star Partner, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH has determined that this product
meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.
