LCD screenLCDscreenNotes

High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in Fujitsu notebooks. For technical reasons,these screens are manufactured for a particular resolution. An optimum and sharp image canonly be ensured with the resolution intended for the particular screen. A screen resolutionwhich differs from the specification can result in an unclear image.

The resolution of your notebook’s screen is set to the optimum at the factory.

With the present standards of production technology, absolutely flawless screen imagescannot be guaranteed. There may be a few constantly light or dark pixels (pictureelements) on the screen. The maximum permitted number of such faulty pixels isspecified in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class II).

Example:A screen with an HD resolution of 1366 x 768 has 1366 x 768 = 1049088 pixels. Each pixel consistsof three subpixels (red, green and blue), making a total of about 3 million subpixels. According to ISO9241-307 (class II), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark pixels and in addition 5 light or 10 dark subpixelsor an equivalent mix (1 light subpixel counts as 2 dark subpixels) are allowed to be defective.

Pixel A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, normally red, green andblue. A pixel is the smallest element that can be generatedby complete functionality of the display.

Subpixel A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structurewithin a pixel that enhances the pixel function.

Cluster A cluster contains two or more defective pixels orsubpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

Background lightingLCD screens are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the backgroundlighting can decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, youcan set the brightness of your screen individually.

WebcamWebcam

Depending on the device variant, a WebCam may be integrated in your notebook.

Depending on the software used, you can use your Webcam to take pictures,record video clips or take part in web chats.

The WebCam has its own status indicator. The indicator lights up when the WebCam is switched on.

• 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.

Rechargeable batteryRechargeablebatteryBatteryLife,batteryRechargeablebatteryRechargeablebattery

When not plugged into a mains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. Youcan increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The averagebattery 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 batteryBatteryBattery

The notebook’s rechargeable battery can only be charged when the ambient temperatureis between 5°C / 41°F and max. 35°C / 95°F.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter(see "Mains adapter connecting", Page 20).

Please note that the battery will not be charged if the battery state of charge isbetween 90% and 100%. If the battery state of charge is less than 90% and the mainsadapter is connected, the battery will be charged to 100%.

When the battery state of charge is low, a message from the operating system appears.If you do not connect the mains adapter within about 5 minutes of the messageappearing, your notebook will automatically switch off.

monitoring the battery charging levelBatteryBatterystatusmeter

Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. Whenyou place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.

Storing the batteryBatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batterychargingcapacity,battery

Store battery packs in a dry environment at a temperature between 0°C / 32°F and 30°C / 86°F. Thelower 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 exhaustivedischarge which would permanently damage the battery, check the levelof charge of the battery at regular intervals.

To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the batteryshould be completely discharged and then fully recharged.

If you do not intend to use a battery for long periods of time, remove it fromthe notebook. Never store a battery in the device.

If the device will not be used for a period of more than two days, remove thebatteries from the device so that their state of charge is maintained.
