LCD screen
LCDscreenNotes
High-quality LCD displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu. For technical reasons, TFT
monitors are manufactured for a specific 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 specification can result in an unclear picture.
The screen resolution of the LCD monitor 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 (picture elements) may be present. The maximum permitted
number of such faulty pixels is specified 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 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 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.

Webcam
Depending on the device variant, a WebCam may be integrated in your notebook.
Depending on the software used, you can use your Webcam to take pictures,
record video clips or take part in web chats.
The WebCam has its own status indicator. The indicator lights up when the WebCam is switched on.
• 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 flicker while the light level is adjusted.
Further information on using the webcam and on the additional settings
which are possible for your webcam can be found in the help function
of the program which uses the webcam.
If you would like to perform a function test of your web cam, there is suitable test

When not plugged into a power outlet, 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 battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature
is between 5°C and max. 35°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the AC adapter
(see "AC adapter connecting", Page 19).
If the battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the AC adapter
within five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

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,batteryChargingcapacity,battery
Keep the battery pack between 32° F and 86° F/ 0°C and +30°C. 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 rechargeable 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 longer periods in the discharged state. This
can make it impossible to recharge.

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 nonprofit 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 find 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 affiliated 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 identified as harmful.
In cases in which the policy regarding use of radio devices in specific 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.

Manufacturer’s notes
ENERGY STAR Compliance
Your Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR qualified 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 efficient products and practices. With
energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, Fujitsu is committed to offering
solutions that help consumers conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment.
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 benefits:
Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified 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 flip 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 efficiency,
the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.
To learn more about the important ENERGY STAR program, visit:"www.energystar.gov".
