Travelling with your notebook Notebook Transportation Notes Mobileoperation

Please observe the points listed below when travelling with your notebook.

Before you travel ► Back up important data stored on your hard disk. Travel,notebook Notebook

► Switch off the radio component for data security reasons. With data traf fic via a wireless connection, it is also possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data.

Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation for your radio component.

► If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight attendants if it is OK to do so.

When travelling in other countries ► If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter! ► Check whether the local power supply and the specifications of the power cable are compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions. Do not use a connection adapter for electrical devices to connect the notebook. ► Enquire with the corresponding government of fice of the country you will be travelling in as to whether you may operate the radio component integrated in your notebook there (see also "CE marking", Page 72). ► If you are planning to use a modem, please be aware that it may not necessarily be compatible with the local telephone system. This may result in poor performance, or the modem may not work at all. You may require a country-specific telephone adapter (available as an optional accessory).

Transporting the Notebook The remote control or a placeholder must occupy the ExpressCard slot. This will prevent any foreign bodies from entering the notebook via the slot. Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight in a car). ► Remove all disks (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives. Notebook Transportation

► Switch the notebook off. ► Unplug the mains adapter and all external devices from the power socket. ► Disconnect the mains adapter cable and the data cables for all external devices. ► Close the LCD screen so that it locks into place. ► To protect against damaging jolts and bumps, use a notebook carrying case to transport your notebook.

LCD screen Information on the LCD screen Notes LCDscreen

High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. For technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a speci fic resolution. An optimal, clear picture can only be ensured in the resolution intended for the particular TFT monitor. A monitor resolution which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture. The monitor resolution is understood to be the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (i.e. "picture elements") which make up the monitor display. For example, "WUXGA" stands for 1920 x 1200 pixels. Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a result, a WUXGA monitor consists of 1920 x 1200 x 3 = 6,912,000 subpixels. Frequently used monitor resolutions

The screen resolution of the LCD screen of your notebook is optimally set at the factory. Permanently unlit or lit pixels The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II). Example: A 15" LCD screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 = 786432 pixels. Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 2.4 million subpixels in total. According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and 5 subpixels may be defective, i.e. a total of 17 faulted subpixels. That is approx. 0.0007 % of the entire subpixel! 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.

Battery Rechargeablebattery Battery Life,battery

The battery is one of the most important components of your notebook. 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. You can increase the time for which your notebook will operate under battery power. We therefore recommend that while operating under battery power, you should switch off the Windows Vista Aero graphics user interface. ► Select Startsymbol – (Settings) – C ontrol Panel– Appearance and Personalization – Screen colour and appearance – Open the Properties fo r Classical Appearance to set further options and select – Basic Windows Vista – or – Standard Window s – or – Classic Windows – to switch off Windows Vista Aero .

Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery Battery

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 power adapter (see "Connecting the power adapter", Page 9). You can maintain long life from your battery by allowing it to discharge fully before you recharge it again. To do this, leave your notebook turned on when it is operated with the battery. Once the battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off. Information on the battery charging time can be found in "Technical data", Page 69. Monitoring the battery charging level Batterystatusmeter Battery

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: storing Battery Chargingcapacity,battery Self-discharge,battery

Keep the battery pack between 0 °C and +30 °C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). 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, check the charging level 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.

USB connection with charging function USBchargingfunction

If you connect USB devices to this USB port, you should operate your notebook using power from the mains adapter, otherwise the battery will discharge when the notebook is switched off. The power supply unit must already be connected when the notebook is switched off, as otherwise the USB charging function will be disabled and the connected USB devices will not be charged. Some USB devices (e.g. mobile telephony) require a driver in order to utilise the USB charging function. In this case the USB charging function will not work when the notebook is switched off, as no drivers are active when the notebook is switched off.

You can use this USB port to charge or supply power to a USB device (e.g. to charge a PDA or a mobile phone or to connect a USB lamp), even if the notebook is switched off. The USB port with charging function has its own status indicator. If a USB device is connected to this USB port, this will be shown by the status indicator as follows: Mains adapter connected: •

Indicator lights up green: The notebook is switched on.

•

Indicator flashes green: The notebook is switched off.

10600906461, edition 1


Please note that, at present, the 32 bit versions of Windows Vista only manage around 3 GBytes of RAM.

Installing and removing the memory expansion Memorymodule

If you are asked by the Hotline/Help Desk to remove and install the memory extension yourself, proceed as follows: Please observe the safety information in "Important notes", Page 4. The notebook must be switched off when installing/removing the memory modules and must not be in energy saving mode. Only use memory upgrades which are approved for your notebook. 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB modules DDR2-667 SO DIMM (PC2-5300). Never use force when installing or removing memory modules. Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory expansion compartment. A memory module is located underneath the service compartment. You must open the service compartment to remove or install a memory module. Once you have removed the cover, the various components are exposed. These components should be removed and replaced only by authorised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following: Individual components (e.g. the processor heat sink) can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the notebook before removing or installing the memory modules. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffering burns! As some components with ESDs are exposed, please read the section "Notes on installing and removing boards and components", Page 56 in "Important notes", Page 4. The second memory module is not accessible from the outside and must therefore only be removed or replaced by an authorised Fujitsu Siemens Computers service partner. ► Switch your notebook off. ► Close the LCD screen so that it locks into place. ► Unplug the mains plug of the mains adapter from the mains socket. ► Disconnect all cables connected to the notebook. ► Turn your notebook over and place it on a stable, sturdy, flat surface.

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 Siemens Computers 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://www.fujitsu-siemens.de/support/downloads.html"

Restoring installed software Please create backup copies of your files on a regular basis. If data is lost, you can restore your applications using the data carriers. However, if you do not have backup copies of your own data files, it is no longer possible to restore them. If your operating system will not start, or if there are errors on the hard disk, the pre-installed software may have to be re-installed.
