Important notes
Energy saving
If you will not be using your notebook, switch it off. Make use of the device's energy saving functions (see "Using your notebook"). If you use the possible energy saving functions, the notebook uses less energy. You will then be able to work for longer before having to recharge the battery. Energy saving under Windows If a monitor with energy saving features is connected to your notebook, you can use the Screen Saver tab to activate the energy saving features of the monitor. Select a screen saver via Start - Control Panel - Appearance and Themes - Display - Screen Saver. You may set further energy saving functions in the menu Start - Control Panel - Performance and Maintenance - Power Options.
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/Bluetooth) for data security reasons. With data traffic 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. 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!
10600690568, edition 1
Important notes
When travelling in other countries 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 "Manufacturers notes"). If you use the modem, incompatibilities with the local telecommunications 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).
Cleaning the notebook

Switch the notebook off. Unplug the mains adapter from the mains socket. Remove the battery.
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.
10600690568, edition 1
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. Your operating system (e.g.Windows XP) and the hardware drivers have been preinstalled for you. 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 a 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 contac 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 and the mains adapter. Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect the notebook from dust, humidity, and heat.
Connecting the mains 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.

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. Frequently used monitor resolutions XGA WXGA SXGA SXGA+ WXGA+ UXGA WSXGA WUXGA Number of pixels 1024 x 768 1280 x 800 1280 x 1024 1400 x 1050 1440 x 900 1600 x 1200 1680 x 1050 1920 x 1200
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.

The last setting is useful if you would like high resolution and refresh rate on an external monitor.
Battery
The battery supplies your notebook with the necessary power during mobile use. You can increase battery life by enabling the system's power management features. The life of the battery is dependent on its proper storage, the number of charging/discharging cycles and the operating temperature of the notebook.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter (see "Connecting the mains adapter"). The battery can only be recharged if the ambient temperature of the notebook falls within the permitted temperature range. The time taken to load the battery depends on its usage. Information on the battery charging time is contained in the "Technical data" chapter. 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.
You can set the power-management features for your notebook under Start - (Settings) Control Panel - Power Options.

Using your notebook
Storing the battery Keep the battery pack between 0C and +30C (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 batteries at regular intervals.
If you do not use batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never store batteries in the unit.
Monitoring the battery charging level With the battery charging indicator you can check the remaining battery capacity (see "Status indicators"). When you switch on the device, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is displayed. Windows includes a "battery charge meter" for monitoring the battery capacity. This can be activated under Start - (Settings) - Control Panel - Power Options. The battery charge meter is then displayed in the task bar as a battery symbol. When you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status. Further information may be found in the operating system help.

Removing and installing components during servicing ! !

Only qualified technicians should repair the device. Unauthorised opening or incorrect repair may greatly endanger the user (electric shock, fire risk) and will invalidate your warranty.
You may remove and install the components described in this chapter yourself after consulting the Hotline/Help Desk. If you remove and install components without consulting the Hotline/Help Desk, then the warranty of your notebook will be voided.
Notes on installing and removing boards and components

Switch the notebook off and pull the power plug out of the mains socket. Remove the battery. Take care when you use the locking mechanisms on the battery and any other component. Never use sharp objects such as screwdrivers, scissors or knives as leverage to remove covers.
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the label shown.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must, under all circumstances, observe the following points: You must statically discharge yourself before working with boards (e.g. by touching a grounded object). The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges. Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges. Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

Memory expansion
Your notebook has 256 -2 Gbyte 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 extensions which have been approved for your notebook: 256, 512 Mbyte modules and 1 Gbyte modules of the type DDR2-533 SO DIMM (PC2-4200) or 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 extension compartment.
The memory modules are located in a larger service compartment. You must open the entire service compartment 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".
Switch the notebook off. Close the LCD screen so that it locks into place. Unplug the mains adapter from the mains socket. Disconnect all cables connected to the notebook. Place the notebook upside down on a flat surface. Remove the battery (see "Removing battery").
