•

If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight attendants if it is permissible to do so.

•

If you are travelling abroad, ensure that the power adapter can be operated with the local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate power adapter for your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!

i

If you travel in another country, 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. If you use a modem, incompatibilities with the local telecommunications system may result.

LCD display Information on LCD monitor High-quality TFT monitors are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH. The specification of the monitor resolution indicates how many pixels can be displayed. For example, "XGA" stands for 1024 x 768 pixels. Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a result, an XGA monitor consists of 1024 x 768 x 3 = 2,359,296 subpixels. The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free monitor. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. To ensure the highest possible quality, Fujitsu Siemens Computers uses only monitors that at least comply with the standard DIN ISO 13406-2 (Class II). TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background lighting can decrease during the period of use of the notebook. The brightness of your monitor can be set individually with the brightness control keys of the keyboard.

Display settings Setting the desktop area You can change the screen resolution under Start - Settings- Control - Display - Settings and then selecting from the Resolution field. Adjusting the font size Under Start - Settings - Control - Display - Settings you can choose between a larger and a smaller font in the Font size field. Setting the display brightness You can adjust the brightness of your LCD screen with the keys [Fn] and [F6] or [Fn] and [F7]: With [Fn] and [F6], screen brightness will be reduced and with [Fn] and [F7] increased.

Display on the LCD screen and an external monitor Your notebook s the simultaneous display on the LCD screen and an external monitor. If the picture does not appear correctly on the LCD monitor, press the key combination [Fn] + [F10] several times, or switch the external monitor off and then on again. Adjusting the speed of the mouse pointer Under Windows you can change the speed of the mouse pointer under Start - Settings - Control - Mouse and clicking on the Motion tab.

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 service life of a properly cared-for battery is approx. 500 charging/discharging cycles. You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.

!

Only use batteries released for your notebook. Take care not to drop the batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk). If the rechargeable batteries are defective, they must not be used. Do not touch the s of the batteries. Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery. Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations (special waste). Observe the information on battery storage in the "Important notes" chapter.

Charging the battery The battery indicator displays the remaining battery charge (see the section "Display field"). When you switch on the notebook, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is displayed. You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter (see "Connecting the power adapter"). The battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and max. 35°C. A battery will fully charge in approximately 3 hours in a notebook that is switched off. Work in the battery mode until an acoustic warning prompts you to recharge and the battery indicator begins to flash. The notebook battery should not be charged before this point. If you do not connect the power adapter within approximately five minutes of the signals described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

Wireless network as per IEEE 802.11 standard The "PRISM Wireless LAN" network card operates in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard. The 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band is used as a communications medium. The wireless networks operating in accordance with 802.11 can easily be connected to existing Ethernet networks. With the exception of a few additional parameters, wireless network cards that operate in accordance with 802.11 are one system with a normal Ethernet card. This means that you can use all protocols via a 802.11 wireless network just as with a cable-connected Ethernet (IP, IPX, NetBIOS,...). The only difference is that you need not lay cables between the computers. The number of all wireless LAN stations that can reach each other directly is generally referred to as a cell. The IEEE standard offers two operating modes - the adhoc mode (peer-to-peer) and the infrastructure mode.

44

A26391-K133-Z121-3-7619

Working with the notebook

Adhoc mode A wireless LAN in the adhoc mode, also called peer-to-peer mode, consists of a single closed cell. Adhoc wireless networks result when a workgroup comes together with its systems and would like to interconnect these for data exchange. Any number of systems can be added to this type of network and can leave it again. So that several adhoc wireless networks do not interfere with each other in radio traffic, there is a unique network name, the SSID (Service Set Identifier). The SSID is used for addressing so that a data packet can always be assigned to a certain cell. If you want to an existing cell, you require the network name (SSID), which you enter in the settings for the network card. The driver searches for a wireless network with this ID during start-up. When the driver has found a wireless network, it connects to it and you can communicate with the systems in this wireless network. If two cells are very close together, the channels of these networks should be 4 to 5 channels apart.

Infrastructure mode In the infrastructure mode, a base station, referred to as an AccessPoint, exists in addition to the mobile stations. In the infrastructure mode the AccessPoint assumes the function of a "guard". In contrast to the adhoc mode, each system must log on to the AccessPoint before it is allowed to exchange data in the cell. Another task of the AccessPoint is the connection of the cells with a cable-connected Ethernet. As due to the logon requirement, the AccessPoint knows at all times exactly which stations are on the radio side, it can decide exactly which data must be sent to it and which don't. This process is also referred to as bridging. The range of a wireless network can be increased with several AccessPoints. The AccessPoints have the same SSID for this purpose. When a system enters the wireless net, it searches among the reachable AccessPoints for the one with the strongest signal and logs on there. Two systems logged on to different AccessPoints communicate with each other in this way, even when they are not within direct radio reach. If a system also continuously monitors the radio situation after the logon, it can detect how the signals from an AccessPoint become weaker and those of another become stronger, and can then log on to the stronger one without the noticing. This procedure is referred to as roaming.
