Touchscreen/LCD screen without touch function (device-dependent)

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.

Current production technology cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of such faulty pixels is specified in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class II).

Example:

A screen with a resolution of 1280 × 800 has 1280 × 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 9241-307 (class II), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark pixels and in addition 5 light or 10 dark subpixels or 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 and blue. A pixel is the smallest element that can be generated by complete functionality of the display.

Subpixel

A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structure within a pixel that enhances the pixel function.

Cluster

A cluster contains two or more defective pixels or subpixels in a 5 × 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.

Synchronising the display on the LCD screen and an external monitor

For more information, please refer to the chapter "Key combinations", Page 24 under "Display output, switch between".

Using fingers

You can use your finger on the touch screen of your device to execute commands and start applications.

Action	Description
Tapping	► Tap on a symbol, menu, button or folder to select this option or to activate it.
Tap and hold	► Tap on a button and let your finger stay there longer until the action is taken.

Rechargeable battery

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

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 17).

If 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.

monitoring the battery charging level

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

Battery storage

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.

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

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.
