4.7. Notes on the Battery
To extend your battery’s performance and lifespan and ensure safe operation, you should also observe the guidelines below:
• Avoid dirt and contact with electrically conductive materials or chemical substances and cleaning agents.
• Use only the supplied AC adapter to charge the battery. Make sure (via the notebook display or acoustic signal) that the battery is fully discharged before charging it again.
• As the battery is integrated into the device it cannot be readily replaced by the user themselves. In this case the battery must be replaced by a service technician.
4.8. Cabling
• Position the cables so that they cannot be stepped on or might cause a risk for tripping.
• To avoid damaging the cables, do not place any objects on them.
• Do not connect peripheral devices – such as keyboards, mouse and monitor, etc. – when the notebook is switched on to avoid damage to the notebook or the devices. Some devices may also be connected while the computer is running.
This is generally the case for devices with a USB connection. In all cases, observe the relevant operating instructions.
• Maintain a distance of at least one metre from sources of high-frequency and magnetic interference (TV sets, speakers, mobile phones, DECT telephones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunctions and data loss.
14
• Please note that only shielded cables that are shorter than
3 metres may be connected to the external interfaces of this notebook.
• Do not exchange the supplied cable for another one. Use only the supplied cable as this cable has been extensively tested in our laboratory.
• In addition, when connecting your peripherals only use the connecting cables supplied with those devices.
• Ensure that all connection cables are connected to their corresponding peripheral device to avoid any interference radiation.
• Remove any unnecessary cables from your notebook to avoid possible interference.
4.9. Information about the Touchpad
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
The touchpad is a highly sensitive input device and it will respond to a light touch and minimal pressure.
` Never use undue force to operate the touchpad as this could damage or destroy it.
The touchpad is operated with the thumb or another finger and reacts to the energy given out by the skin. Dust or grease on the touchpad can affect its sensitivity.
• Do not use pens or other objects as these can damage your touchpad.
• Remove the dust or grease from the surface of the touchpad with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth.
15
4.10. Protecting the Display
The display is the most sensitive component part of the device as it consists of thin glass.
The display can break if subjected to too much stress.
• Do not allow any objects to drop onto the display.
• Do not place any objects on the display.
• Do not scratch the display with your fingernails or hard objects.
• Never lift the notebook up by the display as this could break the hinges.
• Do not fold the display back by an angle of more than 120°.
Exceeding this value may damage the housing or the device.
Always hold the display firmly by the middle when folding it back, adjusting the position and closing it.
• 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.
• Avoid contact between the display and hard objects (e.g. buttons, wristwatch).
4.11. Data backup
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.
4.12. Ergonomics
Avoid dazzle, reflections and a light-dark contrast that is too strong 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
16
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/ 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.
Take regular breaks when working at your notebook to prevent tenseness and fatigue.
Sitting for a long time without changing position can be uncomfortable. Correct posture is very important for minimising the risks of physical problems or damage.
50 - 60 cm
40 - 45°
90°
• In general – change your position frequently (around every 20-30 minutes) and take regular breaks to avoid tiredness.
• Back – when sitting at your workstation, your back must be supported by your chair’s backrest, which must be upright or angled slightly back.
• Arms – your arms and elbows should be relaxed and loose.
Your elbows should be close to your body. Hold your forearms and hands roughly parallel to the floor.
17
• Wrists – when working with the keyboard, mouse or trackball, your wrists should be stretched out and not bent at an angle of more than 10°, where possible.
Make sure that your wrists are not resting on the table edge itself.
• Legs – your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly down.
Your lower legs should form an angle with your thighs of approximately 90°. Your feet should be resting flat on the floor. Use a foot rest if you need one, but first make sure that your seat height has been adjusted correctly.
• Head – your head should be upright or bent very slightly forward.
Do not work with your head or upper body twisted.
As you work, the top edge of the monitor should be at eye level or very slightly lower.
The distance between the monitor and the person viewing it depends on individual requirements. Distances between 50 and 70cm are commonly used.

16.2. 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.
16.2.1. Restricted use
Always switch off the product in the following situations:
• in hospitals, clinics or other health centres and in all places in the immediate vicinity of medical equipment,
• in all places where there is a risk of explosion (e.g. petrol stations; in dusty environments, e.g. with metal dust),
• in places where it is compulsory to switch off radio-controlled equipment, e.g. on major construction sites or in places where blasting operations are carried out.
WARNING!
Danger from radio signals and electromagnetic radiation!
Radio signals and electromagnetic radiation can affect the functionality of sensitive electronic devices, such as pacemakers or implanted cardioverter defibrillators.
` Keep the product at least 20 cm away from these devices, as radio signals and electromagnetic radiation may affect their functionality.
The radio waves emitted may cause interference to hearing aids.
29
16.2.2. Data security
The manufacturer is not liable for data loss due to unsecured access by third parties.
Secure your WLAN network with suitable encryption so that third parties cannot access your data.
16.2.3. 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.
16.3. 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.
• 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).
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.
30
16.4. Airplane Mode
In flight mode, all wireless connections (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®) are disabled. The airplane mode is disabled by default to ensure that all wireless connections are available.

26. Information on Display Errors
26.1. European EN ISO 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 EN ISO 9241-307, Class II; which has been briefly summarised below.
The EN ISO 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 subpixels, each of which is assigned a basic colour (red, green, blue).
Pixel structure
5 Pixel
Rows
Pixel blue green
Sub-Pixel red
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).
