Recycling your batteryOver time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a naturaloccurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org or call 1-800-822-8837.If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/) and search for a convenient disposal location.Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com in the US orwww.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks in Canada.** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with Fujitsu.

57 - Power ManagementSleep ModeSleep mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display, hard drive, and all other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting. Your notebook can be put in Sleep mode by:•Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.•Selecting Sleep or Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.•Timing out from lack of activity.•Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.■IF RUNNING YOUR NOTEBOOK ON BATTERY POWER,BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DISCHARGEWHILE YOUR NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE,THOUGH NOT AS FAST AS WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL.■DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THE NOTEBOOK INTOSLEEP OR HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK)MODE. THE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION CAN’T BE DISABLED.■THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK)MODE SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH CERTAIN PC CARDS. CHECKYOUR PC CARD DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE INFORMATION. WHEN PC CARDS OR EXTERNAL DEVICES ARE INUSE, HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK)MODE CANNOT RETURN TO THE EXACT STATE PRIOR TO SUSPENSION,BECAUSE ALL OF THE PERIPHERAL DEVICES WILL BE RE-INITIALIZED WHEN THE SYSTEM RESTARTS.■IF YOUR NOTEBOOK IS ACTIVELY ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE,CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT LOST. FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS KEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEPMODE OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE DURING HIBERNATION MODE.■THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK)IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAINYOUR DATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR NOTEBOOK IN A SUSPENDED STATEFOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THEPOWER DOWN AND POWER UP SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.

58 - Power ManagementHibernation (Save-to-Disk) FeatureThe Hibernation feature saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode.

61 Chapter 3 User-Installable FeaturesLithium ion BatteryYour LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:•When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.•When using a high current device such as a modem, external optical drive, or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.DO NOT LEAVE A FAULTY BATTERY IN YOUR NOTEBOOK. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR AC ADAPTER,OPTIONALAUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER,ANOTHER BATTERY OR YOUR NOTEBOOK ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVENTOPERATION OF YOUR NOTEBOOK BY DRAINING ALL AVAILABLE CURRENT INTO THE BAD BATTERY.

62 - Lithium ion BatteryRecharging the BatteriesIf you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LifeBook notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 56 for more information on Sleep mode and shutdown procedure)•BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS,APPLICATIONS,FEATURES,POWER MANAGEMENTSETTINGS,BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. OPTICAL DRIVE OR HARD DRIVE USAGEMAY ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON BATTERY LIFE. THE BATTERY CHARGING CAPACITY IS REDUCED AS THEBATTERY AGES. IF YOUR BATTERY IS RUNNING LOW QUICKLY,YOU SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.•UNDER FEDERAL,STATE,OR LOCAL LAW IT MAY BE ILLEGAL TO DISPOSE OF BATTERIES BY PUTTING THEM IN THETRASH. TAKE CARE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT AND DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCALGOVERNMENT AUTHORITY FOR DETAILS ON RECYCLING OR DISPOSING OF BATTERIES.

63 - Lithium ion BatteryLow Battery StateWhen the battery is running low, the Battery Level indicator will glow red. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. Your notebook will then go into Sleep mode to try and protect your data for as long as possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not be lost once the system reaches this point.Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your system while an adapter is charging the battery.Replacing the Battery With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged.Swapping Batteries when Additional Power Source is not AvailableTo swap batteries in your battery bay when you don’t have another power source available (such as an AC Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy steps: (Figure 17)1Have a charged battery ready to install.2Shut down your notebook.■ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS,YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUTYOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK INTO SLEEP MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULDPROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY,AN AC POWER ADAPTER,OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.■ WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF YOU REMOVEALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE,ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT BEENSAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.■USING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES SUCH AS A MODEM OR FREQUENT DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM ACCESSES MAYPREVENT CHARGING COMPLETELY.

This type of communication uses an access point. Another type of communication is called Ad Hoc.IP AddressAn identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address. Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates. The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. Three regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following three classes. Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks The number of unassigned Internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme called CIDR is gradually replacing the system based on classes A, B, and C and is tied to adoption of IPv6.

It is the responsibility of the user to correct any interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment. The manufacturer and its authorized resellers or distributors will assume no liability for any damage or violation of government regulations arising from failure tocomply with these guidelines. This device must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.For IEEE 802.11a Wireless LAN: For operation within 5.15~5.25 GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environments, and the antenna of this device must be integral.Federal Communications Commission statementThis device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and, (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.FCC Interference StatementThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCCRules. 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. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it 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 and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:1Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.2Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.3Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from the one the receiver is connected to.4Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

154FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statementThe available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposure have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The wireless LAN radio device has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.Export restrictionsThis product or software contains encryption code which may not be exported or transferred from the US or Canada without an approved US Department of Commerce export license. This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules., as well as ICES 003 B / NMB 003 B. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation. Modifications not expressly authorized by Fujitsu Computer Systems Corp. may invalidate the user's right to operate this equipment.Canadian NoticeThe device for the 5150 - 5250 MHz band is only for indoor usage to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channelmobile satellite systems.The maximum antenna gain of 6 dBi permitted (for devices in the 5250 - 5350 MHz, 5470 - 5725 MHz and 5725 - 5825 MHz bands) to comply with the e.i.r.p. limit as stated in A9.2 of RSS210.In addition, users are cautioned to take note that high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority)of 5250 - 5350 MHz and 5650 - 5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
