Unpacking and checking your notebook

Should you discover any damage incurred during transportation, notify your local sales outlet immediately!

Unpack all the individual parts.
Check your notebook for damage incurred during transportation.

We recommend that you keep the original packaging material.

You may need the packaging in the future if you need to transport your device.

Selecting the location

Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following points when selecting a location:

• Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture, bed). This can block the air vents and cause damage due to overheating.
• Do not place the notebook directly on your legs for extended periods. The underside of the notebook heats up during normal operation. Extended contact with the skin can become unpleasant or even result in burns.
• Place the notebook on a stable, flat, non-slip surface. Please note that the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
• Keep other objects 100mm away from the notebook and its mains adapter to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Never cover the ventilation slots on the notebook or the mains adapter.
• Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect the notebook against dust, humidity and heat.

Connecting the mains adapter

Please read the information in "Safety information", Page 5.

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 power cable must only be connected to a mains socket if the notebook is connected to the mains adapter.

Make sure that the rated current of the mains adapter is not higher than that of the power system to which you connect it (see technical data for the mains adapter).

Connect the mains adapter cable (1) to the DC jack (DC IN) of the notebook.
Plug the power cable (2) into the mains adapter.
Plug the power cable (3) into a mains outlet.

Switching the notebook on for the first time

When you switch your notebook on for the first time, the supplied software is installed and configured. Due to the fact that this installation procedure must not be interrupted, you should set aside enough time for it to be fully completed and connect the notebook to the mains outlet using the mains adapter.

During installation, the notebook must only be rebooted when you are requested to do so!

Your operating system is pre-installed on the hard disk to facilitate the procedure when you use your notebook for the first time.

Switch the notebook on (see "Switching on the Notebook", Page 9).
During installation, follow the on-screen instructions.
Consult the operating system manual if anything is unclear about the requested input data.

If a Windows operating system is installed on your notebook, you will find additional information on the system as well as the drivers, help programs, updates, manuals, etc. on your notebook or on the "Drivers & Utilities" CD/DVD or on our website (see "Information sources", Page 4).

Switching on the Notebook

Slide the release button in the direction of the arrow (1) and unfold the LCD screen upward (2).

Multimedia

This button starts multimedia applications.

Silent Mode (whisper mode)

This key reduces the speed of the fan.

When the Silent Mode is switched on, the processor and graphics do not operate at the full performance level.

This reduced power is adequate for most office applications however.

Internet

With this button you can start the standard internet browser of your system.

Touchpad and touchpad buttons

Keep the touchpad clean. Protect it from dirt, liquids, and grease.

Do not use the touchpad if your fingers are dirty.

Do not rest heavy objects (e.g. books) on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.

1 = Touchpad
2 = Touchpad buttons

The touchpad enables you to move the mouse pointer on the screen.

The touchpad buttons allow you to select and execute commands. They correspond to the buttons on a conventional mouse.

Microphone and loudspeakers

1 = Built-in loudspeakers

2 = Built-in microphones

4 = Volume control

Two stereo loudspeakers, two microphones, one bass loudspeaker and one volume controller are installed in your notebook.

The bass loudspeaker and the two loudspeakers form a so-called subwoofer system for true listening pleasure. Internal loudspeakers are used to produce the treble and mid-range tones. The bass loudspeaker is used to produce the bass tones. As these bass tones are not perceived directionally, only one bass loudspeaker is necessary and the installation location is not important (underside of the notebook).

If you connect an external microphone, the built-in microphone is disabled.

If you connect headphones or external loudspeakers, the built-in loudspeakers are disabled.

Use the key combination + 6 to switch the loudspeaker off and on.

Adjusting the volume

The built-in volume control does not support the optical SPDIF interface.

Set the desired volume with the key combination + 10 or + 11 .
or
Set the desired volume with the volume control.
or
Double-click on the loudspeaker symbol in the tool bar and on Mixer.

Use the slide control to change the volume.
To turn the loudspeaker on or off, double-click the loudspeaker symbol in the tool bar.

Wireless components (wireless LAN/Bluetooth)

The installation of a wireless LAN/Bluetooth module not approved by Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH voids the permits (CE!) issued for this device.

Wireless LAN and Bluetooth (optional) are integrated in your notebook.

Switching the wireless LAN/ Bluetooth module on and off

Check whether the wireless LAN module is activated/deactivated in the installed wireless LAN software.

Move the slider to the "ON" position to activate the wireless LAN/Bluetooth module.

To make use of the full range of Bluetooth functions, install the Bluetooth software.

BIOS Setup Utility

With the BIOS Setup Utility you can change a number of parameters and thus the configuration of your notebook. For example, you can use the BIOS Setup Utility to set the date and time. The BIOS Setup Utility can also be used to assign passwords. The "EasyGuide" manual explains how to open and close the BIOS Setup Utility.

Troubleshooting and tips

Refer to the safety information in the "Safety" manual when connecting or disconnecting cables.

If a fault occurs, try to correct it as described. If you fail to correct the problem, proceed as follows:

Make a note of the steps and the circumstances that led to the fault. Also make a note of any error messages displayed.
Switch the notebook off.
Contact the Hotline/Help Desk.

You can find the telephone numbers in the help desk list. Please have the following information ready when you call:

• The model name and serial number of the notebook. The serial number is located on a sticker on the underside of the notebook.
  Notes of any messages that appear on the screen and information on acoustic signals.
• Any changes you have made to the hardware or software since receiving the notebook.
• Any changes you have made to the BIOS Setup settings since receiving the notebook.
• Your system configuration and all peripheral devices connected to your system.

Our notebooks have been designed primarily with mobile applications in mind. This means that considerable effort has been made to optimise components and equipment in terms of weight, space and energy requirements. Depending on the particular configuration you have purchased, it is possible that functionality may be slightly reduced compared to a desktop PC if you are running processor-intensive gaming software, e.g. games with intensive 3D graphics. Updating your hardware with drivers which have not been approved by Fujitsu Siemens Computers may result in performance losses, data losses or malfunction of the equipment. A list of approved drivers and current BIOS versions can be downloaded from: "http://www.fujitsu-siemens.de/support/downloads.html"

Restoring installed software

Please create backup copies of your files on a regular basis. If data is lost, you can restore your applications using the data carriers. However, if you do not have backup copies of your own data files, it is no longer possible to restore them.

If your operating system will not start, or if there are errors on the hard disk, the pre-installed software may have to be re-installed.
