LCD screen
Notes
LCDscreen
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
Subpixel
Cluster
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.
A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structure
within a pixel that enhances the pixel function.
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.

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 use of the webcam and additional settings can be found

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.
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 mains adapter
(see "Mains adapter connecting", Page 16).
You can increase the life of your battery by allowing it to fully discharge before recharging 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.

Battery
Keep the battery pack between 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 Technology
Solutions 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
can make it impossible to recharge.

SmartCard reader
Securityfunctions
Securityfunctions,
Depending on the device configuration level, your notebook is equipped
with a SmartCard reader.
SmartCards are not supplied as standard equipment. You can use all SmartCards that comply with
the ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These SmartCards are available from various manufacturers.
With the appropriate software you can use your SmartCard as an alternative to password protection,
but also as a digital signature, for encrypting your e-mails or for home banking.
We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards
in a safe place if you are carrying the other SmartCard with you.
In order to be able to take advantage of all the security features of your notebook, you
will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.
The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN, offering maximum protection even if
you lose the SmartCard. In order to maximise your security, the CardOS SmartCard
is disabled if three incorrect attempts are made to enter the PIN.
When you use the CardOS SmartCard for the first time, you will either need to enter the
preset PIN "12345678" or the PIN given to you by your systems administrator.
Inserting the SmartCard
Do not use force when inserting and removing the SmartCard.
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the SmartCard reader.
► Slide the SmartCard into the SmartCard
reader with the chip facing upwards (on
some variants it faces down) and to the front.

Fujitsu Technology Solutions
Security functions
SmartCard as software protection (SmartCase™ Logon+)
Together with a CardOS SmartCard, software like SmartCase™ Logon+ gives you the
option of logging on with the SmartCard and entering your PIN. If the PIN is entered
correctly, SmartCard is checked and the operating system is booted. The SmartCard must
remain in the SmartCard reader during the entire work session.
In addition, the software allows you to block your computer during breaks. This allows
you to leave your notebook unattended, without the risk of unauthorised persons
being able to access your opened documents and data.
The settings for blocking access to the computer during a session are set up in
SmartCase™ Logon+ under OS Logon (Smarty). Among other things, Smarty allows
you to specify how users should log on to the operating system, e.g.:
• Fingerprint (without a SmartCard)
• TPM with PIN (without a SmartCard)
• Windows password
• SmartCard with PIN, with fingerprint or with PIN and fingerprint
To install, configure and use SmartCase™ Logon+, please refer to the documentation
and online help on the CD with the SmartCase™ Logon+ software.
Proceed as follows to block your computer when you want to take a break:
► Pull the SmartCard out of the notebook during your work session.
A window appears stating that the system is locked.
► When you want to continue with your work, insert the SmartCard and enter your PIN.
You will automatically return to your opened documents.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (device-dependent)
Trusted Platform Module
TPM
To use the TPM, you must activate the TPM in the BIOS Setup before the software
is installed. The condition for this is that you have assigned at least the supervisor
password (see "Security functions", Page 54).
Options for using the TPM
You can use the TPM in different ways:
SmartCaseTM Logon+
Security API
Microsoft® BitLocker
SmartCaseTM Logon+ offers additional help with managing and
using the numerous passwords required to work with the computer.
To install, configure and use SmartCase™ Logon+, please refer to
the documentation and online help on the CD with the SmartCase™
Logon+ software.
Smart Security API 4.1 is middleware which supports the entire
range of mobile and stationary clients from Fujitsu Technology
Solutions. Independent of the TPM hardware, it is needed
by everyone who uses a PKI Smart Security environment for
identification purposes.
BitLocker Drive Encryption (BDE) is a feature of Microsoft® Vista
Enterprise and Ultimate Editions for encryption of the hard disk
drive. Here, BitLocker uses the TPM for the storage of the recovery
data which are used for decryption of the partition.
It is also possible to use BitLocker without TPM and only to use
the USB dongle for storing the crypto key. This option is mainly of
interest if Vista is installed on a computer on which TPM is not
installed or an older version (before Version 1.2) is installed.
A requirement for BitLocker is that you must have set up at least
two partitions on your hard disk. The first partition contains the
booting information. The second, larger partition is encrypted and
contains the operating system and the user data.
Important: The partitions must be set up before Windows Vista
is installed.

If you are asked by the Hotline/Service Desk to remove and install the memory
expansion yourself, proceed as follows:
Please observe the safety information in chapter "Important notes", Page 12.
When installing/removing memory modules, the battery must be removed from
the notebook and the notebook must not be connected to the power supply,
see "Preparing to remove components", Page 72.
Only use memory expansion modules that have been approved for your
notebook (see "Technical data", Page 88).
Never use force when installing or removing a memory extension.
Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory extension compartment.
You must open the service compartment to remove or install a memory module. On some devices,
opening the compartment may expose other components. These components should be removed
and replaced only by authorised specialists. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
Individual components can become very hot during operation. Therefore, we
recommend that you wait one hour after switching off the notebook before removing
or installing memory modules. Otherwise, there is a risk of suffering burns!
As some components are exposed that are sensitive to static electricity, please take
note of chapter "Notes on installing and removing boards and components", Page 71.

Troubleshooting and tips
Help if problems occur
Should you at any time have a problem with your computer that you can’t solve
yourself, in many cases you can quickly solve it by using the SystemDiagnostics
program which is pre-installed on your computer.
The SystemDiagnostics program is already installed on devices which were
delivered with a Windows operating system.
► To start the SystemDiagnostics program, click on Startsymbol - Program - Fujitsu - SystemDiagnostics.
► If a problem is found during a test run, the SystemDiagnostics program outputs
a code (e.g. DIFS-Code YXXX123456789123).
► Make a note of the output DIFS code and the identity number of your device. The identity
number can be found on the type rating plate on the back of the casing.
► For further clarification of the problem, contact the Service Desk for your country (see the Service
Desk list or visit the Internet at "http://ts.fujitsu.com/support/servicedesk.html"). When you do
this, please have ready the identity number and serial number of your system and the DIFS code.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit than the receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Notice to Users of the US Telephone Network
Your notebook may be supplied with an internal modem which complies with Part 68 of the
FCC rules. On this notebook is a label that contains the FCC Registration Number and the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment among other information. If requested,
the user must provide their telephone company with the following information:
1. The telephone number to which the notebook is connected.
2. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment.
3. The equipment requires a standard modular jack type USOC RJ-11C
which is FCC Part 68 compliant.
4. The FCC Registration Number.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using
a standard modular jack type USOC RJ-11C which is FCC Part 68 compliant and a line cord
between the modem and the telephone network with a minimum of 26AWG.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that you may connect to your telephone
line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices
on one line may result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all,
areas the sum of the RENs of all of the devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain
of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the RENs, contact
your local telephone company. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your
telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you

wireless devices such as mobile phones. Radio devices are safe for use by consumers because
they operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.
The use of the radio devices may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as:
•
•
•
on board an airplane, or
in an explosive environment, or
in situations where the interference risk to other devices or services is
perceived or identified as harmful.
In cases in which the policy regarding use of radio devices in specific environments is not
clear (e.g., airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, private buildings), obtain
authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment.
