LCD screen
LCDscreenNotes
High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH. 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.
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels (picture elements) may be present. The maximum
permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the international standard ISO 9241-3 (Class II).
Example:
A monitor 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 9241-3 (class II), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark pixels and an additional 5 light or 10 dark
subpixels or a corresponding mix may be defective (1 light subpixel counts as 2 dark subpixels).
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
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.

Webcam
Webcam
Depending on the software used, you can use your Webcam to take pictures,
record video clips or take part in web chats.
• 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 wish to carry out a function test with your webcam, you can use the
corresponding test software available at "http://ts.fujitsu.com/support/".

If you need further information about an option, you can get help with most
settings by pressing F1 to open the Microsoft Help.
When the notebook is in power-saving mode, the following must be remembered:
During power saving mode, open files are held in the main memory
orinaswapfile on the hard disk.
Never turn off your notebook while it is in a power saving mode. If the built-in battery is
nearly empty, close the open files and do not go into power saving mode.
If you do not intend to use your notebook for a long period of time:
►Exit power saving mode if necessary via the mouse or keyboard or by switching on the
notebook.
►Close all opened programs and completely shut down the notebook.
