Manufacturer’s notes Manufacturer’s notes Disposal and recycling You can find information on this subject on your Tablet PC or on our website ("http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com/www/content/products/trade-in_program/"). 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*.
Manufacturer’s notes UL Notice IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This unit requires an AC adapter to operate. Only use UL Listed I.T.E. adapters with an output rating of 19 VDC, with a minimum current of 3.16A (60W). The correct output rating is indicated on the AC adapter label.
Manufacturer’s notes 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.
Manufacturer’s notes Regulatory Notes and Statements Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions, however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use by consumers because they operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.
Manufacturer’s notes FCC Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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.
Manufacturer’s notes Export restrictions This 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.
Appendix Appendix Before Using the Optional Wireless LAN This manual describes the procedures required to properly set up and configure the optional integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN device, read this manual carefully to ensure its correct operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Appendix Access 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).
Appendix ** * * = An optional hub for a wired LAN may be required depending upon the type of access point used. ** = ADSL modem, cable modem, or similar How to Handle This Device The WLAN device is an optional device that may come pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Operating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.
Appendix Deactivating/Disconnecting the WLAN Device Disconnecting the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). The WLAN device can be disconnected in Windows using the WLAN icon in the system tray (Note that disconnecting via the icon in the system tray does not turn off the radio; it continues to transmit and receive even though it’s not connected.
Appendix Troubleshooting the WLAN Causes and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the following table. Problem Possible Cause Unavailable network connection Incorrect network name (SSID) or network key Possible Solution Ad hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.
Appendix Problem Possible Cause Unavailable network connection The WLAN device was (continued) deactivated or is disabled Possible Solution Check if the wireless switch is turned On. Go to Start > Control Panel, and doubleclick on Windows Mobility Center. If the wireless network is off, click the Turn wireless on button. The computer to be connected Check if the computer to be is turned off connected is turned ON. Incorrectly configured network Recheck the configuration of settings your network settings.
Appendix Using the Bluetooth Device Bluetooth is integrated into the Wireless LAN module. The Bluetooth capabilities are Bluetooth Basic, EDR and Bluetooth Low Energy (BT v4.0) operational modes. What is Bluetooth Bluetooth technology is designed as a short-range wireless link between mobile devices, such as laptop computers, phones, printers, and cameras. Bluetooth technology is used to create Personal Area Networks (PANs) between devices in short-range of each other.
Appendix Creating a Backup of Bootable Disk and Recovery Image When you purchased your new system, a copy of the recovery image was loaded into a hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the recovery image available to you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it and re-install the essential access software using Fujitsu Software Auto Installer. To make a copy of the recovery image to DVD disks, you will need three or four blank disks to create the copy.
Appendix Creating a Backup of Essential Access Software When you purchased your new system, a “Fujitsu Software Extractor” shortcut was loaded to “C:\Fujitsu\Drivers\AutoInstaller\”. This shortcut allows you to save the software driver packages along with the extracted Auto Installer software package to a selected location. It is recommended that you save these packages to writable media or an external drive.
Appendix Determining whether Recovery and Utility is pre-loaded 1. Turn on or reboot your system. When the Fujitsu logo appears, press the F12 key. 2. Use the Tab key to get to the Application Menu. 3. Check whether the Recovery and Utility option is present. If it is not present, it means that the utility must be used from the Bootable Disk. Proceed to “Running Recovery and Utility from the Bootable Disk” if Recovery and Utility is unavailable. Running Recovery and Utility from hard disk 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Appendix Recovery and Utility tools Note: Recovery and Utility tools may not be available on your system depending on the region from which the system was shipped. Diagnostics tool: The Diagnostics tool is designed for use by IT professionals. It is not likely you will need to use this tool. If you should need to use this tool, perform the following steps: 1. Press the Diagnostics Tool button to start the Diagnostics tool. 2. Read the note, and then click OK. 3.
Appendix RECOVER YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE HARD DRIVE IS NOT BOOTABLE Restore the Recovery Image for Full Hard Drive Follow the steps in the “Recovering your Recovery Image using Recovery and Utility (for new hard drive or non-bootable hard drive)” section. You will need the Bootable Disk and the Recovery Disk Set for this task. Utility tool: If applicable for your region, the Utility tool contains two options: Hard Disk Data Delete and Partition Creation.
Appendix Recovering Your Recovery Image Using Recovery and Utility (for new hard drive or non-bootable hard drive) If you have installed a new hard drive or your hard drive is not bootable, perform the following steps. Note: You will need the Bootable disk and Recovery Image disk set for this recovery. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 122 Power on your system.
