• When connecting and disconnecting cables, observe the relevant notes in this operating manual.
• When cleaning the device, please observe the relevant notes in "Cleaning the notebook", Page 5.
• If you have a device with a radio component, also observe the information in the "Safety"
manual and in section "Additional safety notes for devices with radio components", Page 3.
This notebook complies with the relevant safety regulations for data processing
equipment. If you have questions about using your notebook in a particular area,
please contact your sales outlet or our Hotline/Help Desk.
If a radio component (Wireless LAN, Bluetooth or UMTS) is integrated in your notebook, you
must be sure to observe the following safety notes when using your notebook:
• Switch off the radio components (the ON/OFF switch must be in the "OFF "position),
when you are at an airport or driving in a car.
• Switch off the radio components (the ON/OFF switch must be in the "OFF" position),
when you are in a hospital, an operating theatre or near electronic medical equipment.
The transmitted radio waves can impair the operation of medical devices.
• Switch off the radio components (the ON/OFF switch must be in the "OFF" position), when
you take the device close to flammable gases or into hazardous environments (e.g. petrol
station, paintshops), as the transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or a fire.

Important notes
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.
► Remove the battery - refer to the section entitled "Battery" in the EasyGuide.
You can clean the casing and fingerprint sensor 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.
Wipe the LCD screen with a soft, moistened cloth.

Preparing the notebook for use
Please read and observe the relevant notes in "Important notes", Page 3
and in the manual for your radio components.
You must charge the battery and install the application programmes before you
can work with the notebook. The operating system and drivers required are
preinstalled (only with Windows operating systems).
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.
If you use the notebook in a normal office situation, run it from the mains using the mains adapter.
Please refer to "Connecting external devices", Page 38 for instructions on how to connect
external devices such as a mouse and a printer to the notebook.

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 overheating and damage.
• Do not place the notebook on your legs for a long period of time. The underside
of the notebook heats up during normal operation. Prolonged contact with
the skin can become unpleasant or may even cause burns.
• Place the notebook on a stable, flat, nonslippery surface. Please note that
the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
• Never place the notebook and the mains adapter on a heat-sensitive surface.

Information on LCD screen
Notes:
LCDscreen:
High-quality TFT displays with especially bright background lighting 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 particular 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, "UXGA" stands for 1600 x 1200
pixels. Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue.
As a result, a UXGA monitor consists of 1600 x 1200 x 3 = 5.760.000 subpixels.
Frequently used monitor resolutions Number of pixels
XGA 1024 x 768
WSXGA (Wide SXGA) • 1600 x 900 (16:9 monitor)
• 1600 x 1024 (16:10 monitor)
WSXGA+ (Wide SXGA plus) 1680 x 1050
WXGA 1024 x 600
SXGA 1280 x 1024

Your device enables you to protect your system and personal data in a number
of ways against unauthorised access. By combining these options, you can
achieve maximum protection for your system.
In this chapter you will learn which security functions your device is equipped with, which
advantages these functions offer you and how to configure and use them.
Bear in mind that improper use of security functions will mean that you will also be unable
to access your system and your data. Therefore, please note the following information:
• Back up your data on external data carriers at regular intervals.
• Some security functions need you to choose passwords. Please be sure to note
these passwords, as otherwise you will no longer be able to access your system.
We recommend that you make a note of the passwords and keep them in a safe place.
If you lose both the user and the admin passwords you will need to contact
the help desk. The telephone numbers can be found on the supplied helpdesk
list or at "www.fujitsu-siemens.com/support/". Passwords are not covered by
your warranty and a charge will be made for assistance.

Before using the various options for password protection in the BIOS Setup to
increase data security, please note the following hints:
• Please make sure that you always remember your passwords, as you will
not be able to access your BIOS Setup and/or your system any longer if you
forget the user password and the supervisor password.
Passwords are not covered by your warranty and a charge will
be made for assistance.
• Back up your data on external data carriers at regular intervals
Passwords can be up to eight characters long. You can use all alphanumeric characters
and need not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters.
We recommend that you print out the following instructions, as these cannot
be displayed while setting the password.
By using both the supervisor and the user password you can prevent unauthorised persons
from opening the BIOS Setup. The supervisor password gives you access to all functions of
the BIOS Setup, while the user password only provides some of the functions. You can only
set a user password if a supervisor password has already been assigned.

To use the TPM, you must activate the TPM in the BIOS Setup before the software is
installed. The condition for this is that you have assigned at least the supervisor password
(see "Setting the supervisor and user password", Page 32).
► Call up the BIOS Setup and select the Security menu.
► For Embedded Security Chip , select the entry Enabled to activate the TPM.
Once you have activated the TPM the Clear Security Chip option appears.
You can use this menu item to delete the holder in the TPM. However, you can then
no longer access the data you have encrypted on the holder-based keys.
On the supplied TPM software CD/DVD you will find software that, in conjunction with
the TPM, enhances the security of your system. Information on using the TPM and the
related software is provided on the TPM software CD/DVD.
If you use TPM and the software on the TPM software CD/DVD, we strongly
recommend that you use the emergency restoration function and create a medium
(e.g. floppy disk, network drive) for restoration in emergencies.
The emergency restore medium is the only way to access your encrypted data
if a security key is lost due to hardware faults for example.
When the TPM is activated, it initially takes control of the notebook during each start-up to check all
hardware components and the BIOS Setup for trustworthiness. In the further course of operation,
the TPM checks the operating system, certain drivers and applications. Should a component not
have a valid certificate, the TPM refuses this component access to protected content.
For example, with the TPM activated, data can be generated which can only be read or run on this
device. Support for security protocols, such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for Internet connections,
IPSec (LAN encryption), S-MIME (e-mail encryption, WLAN encryption and others) is also possible.

Notice to Users of Radios and Television
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit than the receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Notice to Users of the US Telephone Network
Your notebook may be supplied with an internal modem which complies with Part 68 of the
FCC rules. On this notebook is a label that contains the FCC Registration Number and the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment among other information. If requested,
the user must provide their telephone company with the following information:
1. The telephone number to which the notebook is connected.
2. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment.
3. The equipment requires a standard modular jack type USOC RJ-11C
which is FCC Part 68 compliant.
4. The FCC Registration Number.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using
a standard modular jack type USOC RJ-11C which is FCC Part 68 compliant and a line cord
between the modem and the telephone network with a minimum of 26AWG.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that you may connect to your telephone
line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices
on one line may result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all,
areas the sum of the RENs of all of the devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain
of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the RENs, contact
your local telephone company. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your
telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you
in advance. If advance notice is not practical they will notify you as soon as possible. You
will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
