• If the screen breaks, there is a danger of injury. If this happens,
pick up the shattered pieces wearing protective gloves and
send them to your service centre for professional disposal.
Finally, wash your hands with soap, as the pieces may have
been contaminated with chemicals.
• Do not fold the display back by an angle of more than
120°. Exceeding this value may damage the housing or the
notebook. Always hold the display firmly by the middle when
folding it back, adjusting the position and closing it. Failure to
do so may damage the display. Never use force to open the
display.
• In order to avoid any damage to the device, ensure that the
plug contacts do not come into contact with water under any
circumstances. If this should nevertheless occur, it is imperative
that the plug contacts are rubbed dry before the device is used
again.
8
• To avoid damaging the screen, do not touch it with fingers or
sharp objects.
• Never lift the notebook up by the display as this could break
the hinges.
• Over time, dust can collect inside the notebook which then
blocks the vents. This can lead to an increase in the fan speed
and, therefore, also increase the operating volume of your
notebook. It can also lead to overheating and malfunctions.
Therefore, have the interior of the notebook cleaned by your
service department or a specialist at regular intervals.
• Should the below occur, switch the notebook off immediately/
do not switch the notebook on, disconnect the mains plug and
contact customer services if
−the mains adapter or the attached power cable or plug
is burnt or damaged. Replace faulty mains cables/mains
adaptors only with original parts. These parts should not
be repaired under any circumstances.
−the notebook housing is damaged or liquid has penetrated

suitable specialist workshop, in order to avoid a hazard.
`Never try to open or repair the device yourself.
9
2.4. Data backup
PLEASE NOTE!
Loss of data!
Back up your data to external storage media before
each update. We do not accept any liability for claims
for compensation arising from loss of data or any
consequential loss or damage.
2.5. Setup Location
• Keep your notebook and all connected devices away
from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight.
Non-compliance with these instructions can lead to faults or
damage to the notebook.
• Do not use the notebook outdoors because external elements,
such as rain, snow, etc., could damage it.
• Set up and operate all components on a stable, level and
vibration-free surface to prevent the notebook from falling
down.
• Do not operate the notebook or power adaptor for long
periods on your lap or any other body part as the heat
dissipation on the underside can result in uncomfortable
overheating.
• This device is not suitable for use with VDU workstations.
2.6. Environmental Requirements
• The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient
temperature between 5°C (+41°F) and 30°C (+86°F) and
at a relative humidity between 20% and 80% (without
condensation).
• When powered off, the notebook can be stored at
temperatures between 0°C and 60°C (+32°F and 140°F).
10
• During a thunderstorm, disconnect the mains plug. For extra
safety, we recommend using an overvoltage protection
device to prevent the notebook from sustaining damage as a
result of power surges or lightning strikes.
• After transporting the notebook, wait until the device has
reached room temperature before switching it on. Large
changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause
moisture build up within the notebook due to condensation.
This can cause an electrical short circuit.
• Keep the original packaging in the event the device needs to
be sent in.
2.7. Ergonomics
PLEASE NOTE!
Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark
contrast in order to protect your eyes.
The notebook should never be placed next to a window because
this is the brightest part of the room in daylight. This brightness
can make it more difficult for the eyes to adjust to the darker
display. The notebook should always be positioned so that the
direction of vision is parallel to the window front.
Setting up the notebook with your back to the window is
incorrect as reflections from the bright window on the screen
will then be unavoidable. A position looking onto the window is
also incorrect as the contrast between the dark screen and the
bright daylight can cause problems for the eyes to adjust and
result in problems.
The parallel line of vision should also be maintained in relation
to artificial lighting equipment.
In other words, the same criteria and principles apply where
the workspace is illuminated with artificial light. Where space
restrictions make it impossible to set up the screen as described,
then correct positioning (rotating, tilting) of the notebook/
11
screen can prevent dazzling, reflections and excessive bright-
dark contrast, etc. In many cases, an improvement can also
be achieved by using slats or vertical blinds on the windows,
partition walls or by changing the artificial lighting equipment.

10. Optical Drive (optional)
10.1. Inserting a Disc
Unlike optical drives on a desktop PC, the notebook uses a mount to hold the disc.
When inserting the disc ensure that it is pressed into the mount correctly and that
it clicks into position there.
PLEASE NOTE!
Risk of damage!
Due to the high speeds in the drive, faulty media may
break and damage your device. Damage caused by
faulty media is not covered under the warranty and any
repairs will be chargeable.
`Do not use scratched, broken, dirty or poor quality
discs.
`Do not stick any protective film or other labels on
the discs as the adhesive may damage the surface
of the discs and destroy your data.
`Inspect discs carefully before inserting them. If any
damage or dirt is visible, you must not use these
discs.
`Press the eject button on the optical drive to open the drawer.
`Insert the disc into the drawer with the label facing upwards so that it is lying
flat.
`Check whether the disc can move freely.
`Carefully push the drawer until you feel some resistance and the drawer
automatically moves back into the optical drive.
PLEASE NOTE!
Data loss!
Do not try to remove the disc from the drive while the
notebook is accessing the optical driven.
32
10.1.1. Emergency Release of a Blocked Disc
In the event of the drawer no longer opening automatically, it can be opened
manually providing your device has an emergency eject hole.
`Exit Windows® and switch off the notebook.
`Insert a long pointed object (e.g. straightened paperclip) into the emergency
release until you feel some resistance.
`A slight push now opens the drawer.
`Remove the disc and restart the notebook.
10.2. Playing/Reading Discs
Your optical drive is capable of playing audio CDs, DVD films or data CDs/DVDs.
Once a disc has been loaded, a dialogue box opens containing various playback
options. Normally, there will be a number of different options available.
If the dialogue box does not open, there is always the option of accessing the
optical drive via Explorer.
10.3. Regional Playback Information for DVDs
Playback of DVD film titles includes decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio
data and decoding CSS-protected content. CSS (sometimes also referred to as
Copy Guard) is the name of a data protection program used by the film industry to
protect against illegal copying.
Among the many controls for CSS licensees, the most important of the playback
restrictions involve country specific content.
To make it easier to create geographically separate film releases, DVD titles are
coded for specific regions. Copyright laws required that each DVD film be limited to
a specific region (usually the region where it is sold).
DVD film versions can be published in multiple regions but CSS rules require that
each CSS decoder system may only be used for one region.
PLEASE NOTE!
The region setting can be changed up to five times
via the viewing software before the last setting
becomes permanent. If you then wish to change the
region setting again, this must be carried out by the
manufacturer. Any shipping and configuration costs
must be borne by the user.
33
10.4. Issues Relevant to the Burner
This section only concerns devices supplied with a CD-RW, a combination CD/DVD
read drive or a DVD-RW drive. First some information about blank discs.
Normal CDs are pressed by a glass master and then sealed. With blank discs, digital
information is burned onto them using the drive’s laser. They are therefore more
sensitive then conventional discs.
Because of this, it is essential to avoid, particularly in the case of unused blanks:
• exposure to direct sunlight (UVA/UVB radiation)
• scratches and damage
• extreme temperatures
11. Installing an additional hard disk (optional)
An installation kit for an additional hard disk is included with your notebook. It
consists of a protective foil and 4 screws.
To install an additional hard disk, proceed as follows:
`Switch off the notebook, making sure to shut it down properly and disconnect it
from the power supply. Remove all connecting cables.
`Turn the notebook over and lay it down on a stable, even support to avoid its
falling.
`Remove the 5 screws from the housing cover on the underside of the notebook.
`Insert your fingernails in the notch marked with a hard disk symbol and pull
upwards on the housing cover to remove it.
`Lay your additional hard disk, label side uppermost, on the protective foil
provided (1), so that the four holes to the sides of the protective foil are aligned
with the corresponding holes in the body of the hard disk (2).
Fig. 1 (figure similar)
34
Fig. 2 (figure similar)
NOTE!
Make sure that the label side of the hard disk is not covered by the
protective foil. The purpose of the foil is to protect the circuit board.

13. Network Operation
13.1. Network Connection
Connect one end of a cable with a RJ45 connection (western jack) to your
Notebook’s network interface and the other to a different computer or hub/switch.
You can find more details about the network in the Windows® help.
13.2. Wi-Fi (Wireless Network)
This function enables you to establish a network connection to a corresponding
remote station. Please read about the necessary requirements. The Wi-Fi function is
enabled and disabled via the Windows® menu and is activated by default.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not operate the Wi-Fi function in locations (e.g.:
hospitals, aeroplanes, etc.) where there is sensitive
equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are
sure it will cause no interference.
13.2.1. Requirements
A so called Wi-Fi access point may be used as a remote station. A Wi-Fi access point
is a radio transmitting device that communicates with your Notebook and controls
access to the connected network.
Wi-Fi access points are frequently found in large offices, airports, train stations,
universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to particular services and
networks or to the Internet.
Access permissions are generally necessary and often result in usage charges.
Access points often have built-in DSL modems. These so called routers establish the
connection to the existing DSL Internet connection and the Wi-Fi.
A connection can also be established to another end device with Wi-Fi functionality
without an access point. Without a router, however, the network is restricted to those
devices directly connected to it.
If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used for all devices.
Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from unauthorised access.
The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of users
accessing the remote station.
13.3. Bluetooth
Bluetooth technology is used to wirelessly bridge short distances. Bluetooth devices
transfer data via radio so that computers, mobile phones, printers, keyboards, mice
and other devices can communicate with one another wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless
technology has numerous possible applications. A few of them are listed below:
• Creating a wireless Internet connection using a mobile phone.
37
• Transferring files between computers or between a computer and another device.
• Printing using a Bluetooth printer.
• Using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
• Connecting to a PAN (Personal Area Network).
The Bluetooth wireless technology data transfer speed can vary depending on the
device or environmental factors. Data can be transferred through walls, jacket pockets
and briefcases using a Bluetooth device. The transfer between Bluetooth devices occurs
at the high frequency of 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz). For Bluetooth high speed data transfer, Wi-
Fi must be enabled and the partner station must also support the high speed mode.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not operate the Bluetooth function in locations
(e.g.: hospitals, aeroplanes, etc.) where there is sensitive
equipment. Do not switch the device unless you are
sure it will cause no interference.
13.4. Flight Mode (Fn + )
In flight mode, all wireless connections (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) are disabled. Flight mode is
disabled by default to ensure that all wireless connections are available.
14. Multimedia Card Reader
Memory cards are media that are used, e.g. in the field of digital photography. The
shape and capacity of a memory card can vary depending on the manufacturer.
Your Notebook supports the following formats:
• SD (Secure Digital), SDHC, SDXC
When inserting the memory cards, ensure that the contacts are pointing in the right
direction, as specified in the list below. Inserting a card incorrectly may damage the
card reader and/or the card.

Your Notebook has 2 USB 3.0 connection sockets and 2 USB 2.0 connection
sockets.
PLEASE NOTE!
Where possible, always connect your USB devices to
the same port that they were originally installed on.
Otherwise they will be assigned a new ID and the
drivers will need to be reinstalled.
16. Securing Your Notebook
Your new notebook has software and hardware solutions for preventing
unauthorised access.
16.1. Password Setting (Power-on)
You can protect your notebook against unauthorised use with a power-on
password. On switching on the notebook, a password prompt will appear on the

23. European EN 9241-307 Class II Standard
Due to the very high number of transistors and the associated extremely complex
manufacturing processes used, occasionally one or more pixels can fail or become
incorrectly controlled.
In the past, there were a number of approaches for defining the permitted number
of pixel defects. However, these approaches were mostly very complicated and
varied from one manufacturer to the next. When handling warranty issues for all
of its display products, MEDION therefore adheres to the strict and transparent
requirements of the standard ISO 9241-307, Class II; which has been briefly
summarised below.
The EN 9241-307 standard defines, amongst other things, the generally applicable
guidelines relating to pixel defects. Pixel defects are categorised into four fault
classes and three defect types. Every individual pixel consists of three sub-pixels,
each of which is assigned a basic colour (red, green, blue).

5 Pixel
Pixel defect types:
• Type 1:
permanently illuminated pixel (bright, white dot) even when not activated. A
white pixel occurs due to the illumination of all three sub-pixels.
• Type 2:
non-illuminated pixel (dark, black dot) even when activated.
• Type 3:
abnormal or faulty red, green or blue sub-pixel (e.g. permanently illuminated at
half brightness, one colour not illuminated, flashing or flickering but not type 1
or 2)
Supplement: Type 3 cluster (= failure of two or more sub-pixels within a 5 x 5 pixel
block). A cluster is a field of 5 x 5 pixels (15 x 5 sub-pixels).
