Important notes
Additional safety notes for devices with
radio components
Radiocomponent :Bluetooth,safetynotes
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth) is integrated in your notebook, you must be
sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:
• Switch off the radio components when you are in an aircraft or driving in a car.
• Switch off the radio 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 radio 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 radio components on and off, see chapter
"Switching the wireless components on and off", Page 46.
Energy saving
NotesEnergyEnergysaving
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.
Energy saving under Windows
►Make use of the power management features (see "Using the power-management features",

Travelling with your notebook
MobileoperationNotesTransporta tionNotebook
Please observe the points listed below when travelling with your notebook.
Before you travel
►Switch off the radio component for data security reasons. With data traffic via a wireless
connection, it is also possible for unauthorized third parties to receive data.
Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation
for your radio component.
►Be sure that you only operate the notebook on aircraft when attendant has
announced that it is safe to do so.
When travelling in other countries
►If you are travelling abroad, check that the AC adapter can be operated with the
local AC voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate AC adapter for
your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!
►Check whether the local AC voltage and the power cable are compatible. If this is not
the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions.
►Enquire with the corresponding government office of the country you will be travelling in as to
whether you may operate the radio component integrated in your notebook there).
►Take the necessary plug adapters if you’re traveling overseas. Check the following diagram
to determine which plug adapter you’ll need or ask your travel agent.

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 41°F and max 95°F/ 5°C and max 35°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the AC adapter
(see "AC adapter connecting", Page 22).
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.
Monitoring the battery charging level

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

Observe the following guidelines when handling optical discs:
• Avoid touching the surface of a optical disc. Only handle optical discs by their edges.
• Always store optical discs in their cases. This will protect the optical disc against
being covered in dust, scratched or damaged in any other way.
• Protect your optical discs against dust, mechanical vibrations and direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing a optical disc in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.
You may use both 3-in. / 8-cm and 4.7-in. / 12-cm discs in the optical drive.
When using an optical disc of lesser quality, vibrations and reading errors may occur.

You may only remove the optical disc when the indicator is unlit.
If the CD/DVD indicator does not go out after a optical disc has been inserted, but
instead continues to flash, this means that the drive cannot access the optical disc.
Either the optical disc is damaged or dirty or you are using a optical
disc that the drive cannot read.

system from unauthorized access.
This chapter explains how to use each function, and what the benefits are.
Please remember that in some cases, for example, forgetting your password,
you may be locked out and unable to access your data. Therefore,
please note the following information:
• Make regular backups to external optical discs such as external hard
drives, CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs.
• Some security functions need you to choose passwords. Make a note
of the passwords and keeptheminasafeplace.
If you forget your passwords you will need to contact the our Service
Desk. Deletion or resetting of passwords is not covered by your warranty
and a charge will be made for assistance.
Configuring the fingerprint sensor
Fingerprintsens orFingerprintsens or
Whether or not your device has a fingerprint sensor depends on the
device configuration you have ordered.
The fingerprint sensor can record an image of a fingerprint. With additional fingerprint
software, this image can be processed and used instead of a password.

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 brand new 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 many convenient 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 we 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.

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.

• Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 11ac/abgn(2x2)+BT(v4.1)
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 11ac/abgn(2x2)+BT(v4.1)
Characteristics of the WLAN Device
• The WLAN devices are PCI Express Mini cards attached to the main board of the mobile computer.
• The WLAN devices operate in license-free RF bands, eliminating the need to procure
an FCC operating license. The WLAN operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific,
and Medical (ISM) RF band and the lower, middle, and upper bands of the 5GHz
Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands.
• The WLAN devices are capable of four operating modes, IEEE802.11a,
IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.
• The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates (as applicable) at the maximum data
rate of 450 Mbps in IEEE802.11n mode (300 Mbps in this configuration); 54 Mbps
in IEEE802.11g mode; and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b mode.

TKIP, CKIP, and AES encryption.
• The Wireless LAN devices are compliant with the following standards: WPA,
WPA2, CCX1.0, CCX2.0, CCX3.0, and CCX4.0.
Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device
Ad Hoc Mode
"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity
between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically
known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer
fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc
networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between
multiple computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryption
key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.
90 Fujitsu
Appendix
Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with
wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure
mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate
wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the WLAN in
order to access services, devices, and computers (e.g., file servers, printers, databases).

How to Handle This Device
The WLAN device is an optional device that may come pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under
normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Operating
System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.
• Integrated Intel Centrino wireless LAN devices support IEEE802.11a,
IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.
• The WLAN device operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz
lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.
• Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the
same 2.4 GHz frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices. Interference by microwaves
does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.
• Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN
devices in IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput,
intermittent disconnects, and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these
interfering devices be powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN device.

Note: Most of the information below comes from the Microsoft® page
"http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-10-recovery-options" .
Please refer to it for more details.
Create a Recovery Drive
A recovery drive can help you troubleshoot and fix problems with your PC, even if it won’t
start. To create one, all you need is a USB flash drive. Windows will inform you of the
size the USB flash drive must be able to hold the required data.
1. From the taskbar, search for Create a recovery drive and then select it. You might be
asked to enter an admin password or confirm your choice.
2. When the tool opens, makesureBackup system files to the recovery drive
is selected and then select Next.
3. Connect a USB drive to your PC, select it, and then select Next - Create.Alotoffiles
need to be copied to the recovery drive, so this might take a while.
4. When it’s done, select Finish.
Note:
If you chose not to back up the system files when you created your recovery drive on
Windows 10, you won’t be able to use it to reinstall Windows.
Recovery options in Windows 10
If your PC isn’t running as quickly or reliably as it used to, try one of these recovery
options. The following table can help you decide which one to use.
Problem Try this
Your PC isn’t working well and you recently
installed an app, driver, or update.
Restore from a system restore point
Your PC isn’t working well and it’s been a while
since you installed anything new.
Reset your PC
Your PC won’t start and you’ve created a
recovery drive.
Use a recovery drive to reinstall Windows
Your PC won’t start and you haven’t created a
recovery drive.
Use installation media to reinstall Windows
Restore from a system restore point
This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore
points are generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, and when you
create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove
apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.
1. Right-click (or press and hold) the Start button, and then select Control Panel.
2. Search Control Panel for Recovery.
3. Select Recovery -Open System Restore - Next.
