Recycling your battery
Over 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 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 or
www.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.

Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s
BIOS. When your notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find
instructions to start up your notebook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up
or restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your
operating system is found. During booting, your notebook is performing a standard boot sequence
including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and
without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.
The boot sequence is executed when:
•You turn on the power to your notebook.
•You restart your notebook from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.
•The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.
BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS
is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’
environment to operate your notebook.
The BIOS Setup Utility configures:
•Device control feature parameters, such as changing boot devices.
•System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.
NEVER TURN OFF YOUR NOTEBOOK DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN

- Power Management
Power Management
Your 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 Button
When 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 and
flashing, 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 Management
Standby Mode
Standby 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 DISCHARGE
WHILE 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 INTO
SLEEP 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. CHECK
YOUR PC CARD DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE INFORMATION. WHEN PC CARDS OR EXTERNAL DEVICES ARE IN
USE, 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 STANDBY
MODE 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 IS
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR NOTEBOOK IN A SUSPENDED STATE FOR A PROLONGED
PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THE POWER DOWN AND
POWER UP SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.

ENERGY STAR® Compliance
Your 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.

User-Installable Features
Lithium ion Battery
Your 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 an 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,OPTIONAL
AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER,ANOTHER BATTERY OR YOUR NOTEBOOK ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVENT
OPERATION OF YOUR NOTEBOOK BY DRAINING ALL AVAILABLE CURRENT INTO THE BAD BATTERY
.
54
- Lithium ion Battery
Recharging the Batteries
If 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. (See Table 1 on
page 29 for more information.)
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 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
Standby mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page
48 for more information on Standby mode and shutdown procedure)
•ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS,APPLICATIONS,FEATURES,
POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS,BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES.
OPTICAL DRIVE OR HARD DRIVE USAGE MAY ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON BATTERY LIFE.
THE BATTERY CHARGING CAPACITY IS REDUCED AS THE BATTERY 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 THE TRASH. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT AND DISPOSE OF BATTERIES
PROPERLY
. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY FOR DETAILS REGARDING
RECYCLING OR DISPOSING OF OLD BATTERIES. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THIS INFORMATION
ELSEWHERE,CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE AT 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800-838-5487)
MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR AND THE BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR ICON ON
THE STATUS INDICATOR PANEL LIGHT.
55
- Lithium ion Battery
Low Battery State
When 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 PREVENT
CHARGING COMPLETELY
.
■ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS,YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUT
YOUR NOTEBOOK INTO STANDBY MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A
CHARGED 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. IFYOU
REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR NOTEBOOK IS IN STANDBY MODE,ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN
SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.

IP Address
An 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

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement
The 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.
