LCD screen
LCDscreenNotes
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 A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structure
within a pixel that enhances the pixel function.
Cluster 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
cansetthebr
ightness of your screen individually.

Camera
Camera
Depending on the software used, you can use your camera to take pictures,
record video clips or take part in web chats.
The camera has its own status indicator. The status indicator lights up when the camera is active.
• The picture quality depends on the lighting conditions and the software being used.
• You can only use the camera with a particular application (e.g. an Internet telephony
program or a video conferencing program which supports a camera).
• When using the camera, the notebook support must not shake.
• The camera automatically adjusts itself to the current light level. For this reason the
LCD display may flicker while the light level is adjusted.
Further information on use of the camera and additional settings can be found
in the Help function of the program which uses the camera.

Rechargeable battery
RechargeablebatteryBatteryLife,batteryRechargeablebatteryRechargeablebattery
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
BatteryBattery
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
(see "Mains adapter connecting", Page 17).
Please note that the battery will not be charged if the battery status is between
90% and 100%. If the battery status 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.
Monitoring the battery charging level
BatteryBatterystatusmeter
Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When
you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.
Battery storage
BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,battery
Chargingcapacity, battery
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.
Removing and installing the battery
Only use batteries approved by Fujitsu for your notebook.
Never use force when fitting 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 flashes 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 flash, 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.

This function can be used to delete all data from internal hard disks or SSDs, before the hard disks
are discarded or the complete computer system is disposed of. The function can also be used if
hard disks are to be completely deleted, e.g. before installing a new operating system.
The application can only be selected and run if an administrator/supervisor
password has been assigned (Menu BIOS Setup - Security).
To erase data from SATA hard disks or SSDs, proceed as follows:
►Call the BIOS Setup with the Administrator/Supervisor password.
►To start the application, select Erase Disk (BIOS Setup - Advanced or BIOS
Setup - Security)andsetStart after Reboot.
►Then select Save Changes and Exit in the menu Save & Exit / Exit to initiate
a reboot and start Erase Disk.
Because of the reboot, the Erase Disk will be started. You have the option
to interrupt the process during the user selection.
►After the application starts, the Administrator/Supervisor password must
be entered for security reasons.
A dialogue field appears in which a particular, several or all the hard disks can be selected
for deletion. This depends on the number of hard disks in your system.
►Select the hard disk(s) to be deleted. The selected hard disk(s) will be deleted one-by-one.
Erase Disk offers four deletion options, from fast (with one deletion pass) to very
secure (with 35 deletion passes). Depending on the algorithm chosen, the process
can take between ~10 seconds and ~10 minutes per GB:
•Zero Pattern (1 pass)
•German BSI/VSITR (7 passes)
•DoD 5220.22-M ECE (7 passes)
•Guttmann (35 passes)

If a fault occurs, try to correct it as described. If you fail to correct the problem, proceed as follows:
►Make a note of the steps and the circumstances that led to the fault. Also
make a note of any error messages displayed.
►Switch the notebook off.
►Please contact the Hotline/Service Desk.
The telephone numbers can be found at: "http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/contact/servicedesk".
Have the following information ready when you call:

Our notebooks have been designed primarily with mobile applications in mind. This
means that considerable effort has been made to optimise components and equipment
in terms of weight, space and energy requirements. Depending on the particular
configuration you have purchased, it is possible that functionality may be slightly reduced
compared to a desktop PC if you are running processor-intensive gaming software, e.g.
games with intensive 3D graphics. Updating your hardware with drivers which have not
been approved by Fujitsu Technology Solutions may result in performance losses, data
losses or malfunction of the equipment. A list of approved drivers and current BIOS
versions can be downloaded from: "http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/Download/Index.asp"
