notes.
Observe the sections in the manual marked with the symbol on the left.
●
When connecting and disconnecting cables, observe the relevant notes in this operating
manual.
●
Read the information on the ambient conditions in the chapter "Technical data" and the chapter
"Using your notebook for the first time" before putting your notebook into operation and
switching it on for the first time.
●

Important notes
Travelling with your notebook
Please follow these guidelines when travelling with your notebook.
Before you travel
●
Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
●
Switch off the radio component (Wireless LAN) for data security reasons. With data traffic via a
wireless connection, it is also possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data.
i
●
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 office of the country you will be travelling in as to
whether you may operate the radio component integrated in your notebook there (also see "CE
marking").
●
If you use a modem, incompatibilities with the local telephone system may result. This may
result in poor performance, or the modem will not work at all.
You may require a country-specific telephone adapter (available as an accessory).
Transporting the notebook
●
Remove all disks (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives.
●
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.
●
Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight in a
car).

Important notes
Cleaning the notebook
►
Switch the notebook off.
►
Unplug the mains adapter from the mains socket.
►
Remove the battery (see "Removing battery" chapter).
!
Do not clean any interior parts yourself; leave this job to a service technician.
Only use cleaning products designed for computers. Normal household cleaners and
polishes can damage the markings on the keyboard and the device, the paintwork or the
notebook itself.
Ensure that no liquid enters the notebook.
The Crystal View display is very sensitive to scratching! Only clean the display surface with
a very soft, slightly damp cloth.
Wipe the casing with a dry cloth.
If particularly dirty, use a cloth which has been moistened in mild domestic detergent and then
carefully wrung out.
To clean the keyboard and the touchpad, you can use disinfectant wipes.

Using your notebook for the first time
!
Please read the "Important notes" chapter.
Before you can use your notebook for the first time you need to charge the battery and install the
supplied software. The Windows operating system and necessary hardware drivers required are
preinstalled.
Upon delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment. The battery must be charged if
you want to operate your notebook with the battery.
When not plugged into a mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the
battery's life by enabling the system's energy saving functions.
When you use your notebook in your home or office, we recommend you use the mains adapter
instead of the battery.
Please see the "Connecting external devices" chapter for instructions on how to connect devices
such as a mouse and a printer to the notebook.
Unpacking and checking your notebook
►
Unpack all the individual parts.
►
Check your notebook for damage incurred during transportation.
!
i
Should you discover damages incurred during transportation, notify your local sales outlet
immediately!
We recommend that you keep the original packaging material.
You may need the packaging in the future if you need to transport your device.

Using your notebook for the first time
Selecting the location
!
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following
points when looking for a location:
●
Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause overheating and damage.
●
Do not place the notebook on your legs for a longer period of time. The underside of
the notebook heats up during normal operation. Longer contact with the skin can
become unpleasant or even result in burns.
●
Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. Please note that the rubber
feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
●
Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its mains adapter to ensure
adequate ventilation.
●
Never cover the fan intake or exhaust openings of the notebook or the mains
adapter.
●
Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.
Connecting the power adapter
!
Please take note of the information in the section "Safety notes".
The power cable supplied conforms to the requirements of the country in which you
purchased your notebook. Make sure that the power cable is approved for use in the
country in which you intend to use it.
The mains adapter's AC cable should only be connected to a mains socket if the notebook
is connected to the mains adapter.
Make sure that the rated current of the mains adapter is not higher than that of the power
system to which you connect the mains adapter (see technical data of the mains adapter).
1
►
Connect the mains adapter cable (1) to the
DC jack (DC IN) of the notebook.
►
Connect the power cable (2) into the mains
adapter.
►
Plug the power cable (3) into a mains
outlet.

Switching on the notebook for the first time
!
When you switch on your notebook for the first time, the supplied software is installed and
configured. Due to the fact that this installation must not be interrupted, you should set
aside enough time for it to be fully completed and connect the notebook to the mains outlet

Switch the notebook on (see "Using your notebook" chapter, "Switching on the notebook"
section).
►
During installation, follow the instructions on screen.
Consult the operating system manual if there is anything unclear about the requested input data.
i

LCD screen
Information on LCD monitor
High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. For
technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture
can only be ensured in the resolution intended for the respective 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.

The screen resolution of the LCD monitor 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 screens 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
The battery is one of the most important components of your notebook. When not plugged into a
mains 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
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 mains adapter (see "Connecting the
power adapter").
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 is contained in the "Technical data" chapter.
Battery charging level, monitoring
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.
Storing the 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 is the rate of self-discharge.
If you store rechargeable batteries for a longer period (longer 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.

Removing and installing components during servicing
Memory expansion
Your notebook has 256 Mb - 2 Gb of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level. The
notebook will not start without memory modules, as no fixed main memory is installed.
Installing and removing the memory extension
If you are asked by the Hotline/Help Desk to remove and install the memory extension yourself,
proceed as follows:
!
Please take note of the safety information in the "Important notes" chapter.
The notebook must be switched off when installing/removing the memory modules, it
must not be in Suspend mode.
Use only memory expansions released for your notebook: 256, 512 MB and 1 GB DDR2533 SO DIMM (PC2-4200) module or 256, 512 MB or 1 GB DDR2-677 SO DIMM (PC25300) module.
Never use force when installing or removing memory modules.
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.
A memory module is located under the service bay. You must open the service bay when removing
and installing 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 danger
of being burned!
As some components with ESDs are exposed, please observe the section "Notes on
installing and removing boards and components" in the chapter "Important notes".
The second memory module cannot be accessed from outside and consequently may be removed or
replaced only by authorised service partners of Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
