Introduction
Your CELSIUS Mobile A is a versatile and ergonomic notebook. Innovative technology and ergonomic
design make this notebook the ideal user-friendly and reliable travel companion.
To simplify the initial start-up of your notebook, one or two operating systems are preinstalled on the
hard disk (dual-installation). If two operating systems are preinstalled, you can select which of the two
operating systems you want to install during initial start-up.
The energy-saving processor and the energy-saving functions that can be configured allow you to
make the most effective use of the battery capacity.
Your notebook has 128 -1024 Mbyte of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level. Data
is stored on a hard disk drive. Your notebook is also equipped with a 3 1/2-inch disk drive. Depending
on the model, your notebook is delivered with a CD-RW drive or a DVD-ROM drive. A PC card slot
(CardBus or PCMCIA) enables the notebook to operate two type I or type II PC cards or one type III
PC card. Depending on the variant, your notebook may be equipped with an internal mini-PCI board.
Your notebook has connectors for external devices such as an external monitor, a printer, and a
mouse. The ECP capable parallel port is designed for fast bidirectional data transfer. You can connect
peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard, or mouse via the two USB
ports. In addition, your notebook is equipped with a TV-Out connector to connect to a television.
For mouse control, the notebook has a touchpad with touchpad buttons.
An audio controller, two built in loudspeakers and a built in microphone provide your notebook with an
audio capability. You can thus incorporate voice, noise effects and music into your notebook
environment. You can also connect an external microphone and an external loudspeaker.
The system settings of the notebook can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup programme.
Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, energy saving functions) can be modified via various key
combinations while you are using the notebook.
Your notebook has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorised persons can access
your data. For example, you can activate a screen saver with password protection. The security
functions in the BIOS Setup also allow you to protect your data by means of passwords.
This Operating Manual tells you how to put your notebook into operation and how to operate it in daily
use.
Additional information on your notebook is contained in the following documents:
• in the manual „Safety and Ergonomics“
• in the manual "Getting Started"
• in the documentation of the operating system
• in the information files (e.g. *.TXT, *.DOC, *.WRI, *.HLP)

Energy Star
The notebook from Fujitsu Siemens Computers is designed to conserve
electricity by dropping to less than 8 W when it goes into standby/suspend
mode and to less than 3 W when it goes into OFF mode. With this level of
power management, the notebook qualifies for the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star Computers award.
The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5 percent of all business electricity and that this is
growing rapidly. If all desktop PCs and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in use, the overall
savings in electricity could amount to $ 2 milliard annually. These savings could also prevent the
emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the equivalent of 5 million
automobiles.

Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery.
Used batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations (special waste).
Observe the information on battery storage in the chapter "Important notes".
Performing the battery learning cycle
The battery contains electronics that continuously monitor the battery charging level and display the
current charging level. To compensate for measuring errors in the electronics, and because the
chemical properties of the battery change over time, the electronics must be recalibrated regularly. This
calibration is carried out using a battery learning cycle. Using the battery learning cycle ensures that
the maximum battery capacity can always be used. During the learning cycle a defined charging cycle
is carried out.
i
The battery learning cycle lasts between four and six hours and must not be aborted. During
this period you can not work with the notebook!
Ê Restart the notebook (switching ON/OFF or warm boot).
The following display briefly appears on the screen during start-up:
<ESC> Diagnostic screen <F12> Boot Menu <F2> BIOS Setup
Ê Press function key [F6].
The learning cycle is started. When the learning cycle is ended, a corresponding message is displayed.
Charging the battery
The battery indicator displays the remaining battery charge (see the section "
!
A26391-Kyyy-Z120-1-7619 27
Indicators"). When you switch on the notebook, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is
displayed.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter (see "Connecting the
power adapter and switching on the notebook").
The battery can only be charged when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and max. 35°C.
With the notebook switched on or off, the battery will completely recharge in approximately three to four
hours.
Work in the battery mode until an acoustic warning prompts you to recharge and the battery indicator
begins to flash. The notebook battery should not be charged before this point.
If you do not connect the power adapter within five minutes of the signals described above, your
notebook automatically switches itself off.
Monitoring charging time
The remaining battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the status indicator panel (see the
section "
!
28
Indicators"). When you switch on the notebook, it takes a few seconds before the battery status is
displayed.
During mobile operation you can also use a "battery charge meter" for energy-saving monitoring under
Windows.
A battery icon is shown in the taskbar. When you position the cursor on the battery icon, the battery
charge level is displayed with a blue status bar. This blue bar progressively decreases as the battery
discharges.

Using the power-management features
The notebook uses less power when the power management features are enabled. You will then be
able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
i
If you are connected to a network or use the integrated modem, PC LAN card, or PC
modem card, we advise against enabling an energy saving mode. This could lead to an
interruption of your network connection.
When not using the notebook for long periods of time, first end the energy saving mode, then
switch off the notebook. Never switch off the notebook with the Suspend/Resume button
while the notebook is in one of the energy-saving modes.
If your notebook is in an energy-saving mode mode:
• Do not connect any external peripheral devices.
• Do not disconnect any external peripheral devices.
• Do not attempt to switch the notebook on if the built-in battery is flat.
• Do not change or remove the floppy disk, if inserted.
• Do not add or remove RAM.
• Do not add or remove a PC card.
• Do not replace or remove the battery.

Energy-saving modes of notebook
You can set two energy-saving modes with your notebook.
In the Suspend mode (Suspend to DRAM/Standby) all current data (active programmes, files) are
buffered in the main memory, and in the Save-to-Disk mode (Save to Disk/HibernateMode) all current
data are saved on the hard disk. Then the notebook is switched off. After the notebook is switched on,
you can continue working exactly where you left off before.
Operating systems with ACPI
(Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows 2000)
i
For operating systems with ACPI you can set the energy-saving functions under Settings
- Control Panel - Power Management (e.g. Standby, Hibernate mode and LCD off).
You can configure the Suspend/Resume button and the lid switch in the Settings tab under
Settings – Control Panel – Power Management.
Settings for energy-saving functions in the BIOS Setup are not taken into account by
operating systems with ACPI.
Changing settings
Ê Double-click on the My Computer symbol.
Ê Double-click on the Control Panel symbol.
Ê Double-click on the Power management symbol in the Control Panel window.
The Properties dialogue field appears.
Ê Adjust the setting to your needs.
Ê Click on OK to save the settings.
i
With Windows 2000 and Windows ME the Hibernate mode is switched off in the default
setting.
With Windows 98 please read the chapter "PHDISK (for Windows 98 and Windows NT
only)".
Additional information on this service programme is contained in the help function of Windows 98 and
Windows 2000.

Operating systems with APM (Windows 95, Windows NT with APM
extensions)
i
For operating systems with APM (Advanced Power Management) you can set the energy-
saving functions in the BIOS Setup (e.g. Suspend to RAM, Save to Disk, LCD off etc.).
Setting energy-saving modes
Ê Call the BIOS Setup.
Ê Set which energy-saving mode you want to use in the Power menu.
Ê Set the Auto Suspend Timeout parameter in the Power menu to a time period after which the
notebook is to be switched into the energy-saving mode.
Suspend to DRAM
In this mode the current data in the main memory (DRAM) is stored. The data is stored for as long as
the notebook is supplied with energy. If the battery is full, the data is stored for a matter of days.
Without a battery and without a power supply the current data is lost.
Save to Disk
So that the current data can be saved, sufficient memory must be available on the hard disk. If the
operating system Windows NT or OS/2 Warp is used, a Save-to-Disk partition must be created on the
hard disk (see manual for respective operating system).
In this case also see the section "PHDISK (for Windows 98 and Windows NT only)".
PHDISK (for Windows 98 and Windows NT only)
The PHDISK service programme reserves the memory space required for the use of Save-to-Disk
mode. The programme creates a file or partition for saving the main memory contents and the system
register when your notebook is switched over to Save-to-Disk mode. The positions of the first and last
free sectors are saved in the CMOS after running this programme.
• Run PHDISK after you have installed or removed memory modules.
• Run PHDISK after you have installed or restored Windows 98.
• Run PHDISK after you have replaced your hard disk.
• Run PHDISK if you have received a BIOS error message in conjunction with Save-to-Disk mode
during the self test (POST).
i
In Windows NT the PHDISK service programme is not supported by the NTFS file system.
In Windows 2000/ME the required memory space on the hard disk is not reserved until you
make the required Hibernate mode settings under Settings - Control Panel - Power
Management.
Running PHDISK
Ê Click on Start and then Shut down in Windows.
Ê Activate the Start computer in MS-DOS mode checkbox and click on Yes.
!
32
Ê Enter CD\UTILITY\PHDISK at the DOS prompt and press the Enter key.
Ê Enter PHDISK after the DOS prompt.
Ê Follow the instructions on the screen.
i
Be sure to define a sufficiently large partition.
If you require additional information on the programme parameters, enter PHDISK or PHDISK /INFO
at the DOS prompt.
!We recommend that you use the considerably more flexible option FILE when running
PHDISK. We discourage the use of the PARTITION option, as the safety of the data already
saved on the hard disk is not ensured.
Additional power-management features
Closed cover switch
When you close the LCD display panel, the notebook switches into Standby mode. Opening the LCD
display panel ends Standby mode.
Ê Set the value On in the BIOS Setup in the Power - Advanced Features menu for the Lid Closure

LidOpen Resume parameter to On.
Power Button
You can configure the Suspend/Resume button.
If you want to use the Suspend/Resume button as an ON/OFF switch, set the Power Button parameter
to Power Off in the Power - Advanced Features menu in the BIOS Setup.
Standby Timeout
With this mode you switch off the LCD screen and internal components after a defined period of time.
Any activity automatically returns the notebook to normal operation.
Hard Disk timeout
With this mode the motor of the hard disk drive is switched off as soon as no activity with the keyboard
