Copyright and Trademark Information 6Recycling 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 natural occurrence 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 futuregenerations.* 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.

48 - Power ManagementPower ManagementYour notebook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your notebook into standby mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.Power/Suspend/Resume ButtonWhen your notebook is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put the notebook into standby mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button when the notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button.If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible andflashing, your notebook is in standby mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode. (See Hibernation Feature)
49 - Power ManagementStandby ModeStandby 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 Standby mode by:•Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.•Selecting Standby from the Turn off computer 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 Standby 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 STANDBY 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 STANDBY OR HIBERNATION MODE,CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT LOST. FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS KEPT ACTIVE DURING STANDBYMODE OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE DURING HIBERNATION MODE.■THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR DATA. THIS ISPARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR NOTEBOOK IN A SUSPENDED STATE FOR A PROLONGEDPERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THE POWER DOWN ANDPOWER UP SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.
50 - 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. You can enable or disable this feature. Enable or Disable the Hibernation FeatureThe default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:1From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel.2From the Control Panel select Power Options.3Select the Hibernate tab. Select the box to enable or disable this feature.Windows Power Management The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters. Restarting the SystemIf your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure. 1Click the [Start] button, and then click Turn Off Computer.2Select the Restart option. Your notebook will shut down and then reboot.TURNING OFF YOUR NOTEBOOK WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR NOTEBOOK WITHIN10 SECONDS OF THE NOTEBOOK BEING SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU START THE NEXTTIME.
51 - Power ManagementPowering OffBefore turning off the power, check that the hard drive/optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:1Click the [Start] button, and then click Turn Off Computer.2Select the Turn Off option. If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more, see Care and Maintenance Section. BE SURE TO CLOSE ALL FILES,EXIT ALL APPLICATIONS,AND SHUT DOWN YOUR OPERATING SYSTEMPRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE POWER. IF FILES ARE OPEN WHEN YOU TURN THE POWER OFF,YOU WILLLOSE ANY CHANGES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED,AND MAY CAUSE DISK ERRORS.
52 - Power ManagementENERGY STAR® ComplianceYour Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR® qualified mobile PC. By choosing a computer with the latest energy-saving technology, you’re helping to preserve our environment for future generations.ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, Natural Resources Canada, and other governments around the world helping us save money while protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. With energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, Fujitsu is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment.Sleep Mode: You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of user inactivity, and the computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When going into Sleep mode, the computer also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network links. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the Suspend/Resume Button.Energy saving benefits: Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment – saving half in utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.To learn more about the important ENERGY STAR program, visit: www.energystar.gov.To read about how Fujitsu is supporting Sustainable Management along with several other environmental activities, visit the Fujitsu Corporate Citizenship page at: http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/www/content/aboutus/environmental/environment.php

55 - 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 Standby 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 Your notebook comes with one battery pack; you might want to consider purchasing a spare. By keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can immediately swap with one that is not charged.There are two ways to swap batteries: cold- and hot-swapping. Cold-swapping means swapping batteries when the system is powered down; hot-swapping is performed when the system is powered by AC power:USING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES OR FREQUENT EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE ACCESSES MAY PREVENTCHARGING COMPLETELY.■ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS,YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUTYOUR NOTEBOOK INTO STANDBY MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE ACHARGED BATTERY,AN AC POWER ADAPTER,OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.■ WHEN YOU ARE IN STANDBY MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE.

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.IRQInterrupt Request.

If the client has the wrong key or no key, authentication will fail and the client will not be allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentication is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the same challenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the key.SSIDService Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security to the network. StandbyTo make inoperative for a period of time. Your notebook uses various suspension states to reduce power consumption and prolong the charge of your battery.

116FCC 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 pro-duce 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 sug-gested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The wire-less 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.

118 Before Using the Optional Wireless LANWireless LAN Modes Using this DeviceAd Hoc Mode"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.Figure 20. Ad Hoc Mode Network
119 Before Using the Optional Wireless LANAccess Point (Infrastructure) Mode Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the WLAN in order to access services, devices, and computers (e.g., file servers, printers, databases).Figure 21.
