Depending on the device conﬁguration level, your notebook is equipped

with a SmartCard reader.

SmartCards are not su pplied as standard equipment. You can use all S martCards that comply with

the ISO standard 7816-1, -2 or -3. These SmartCards are available from various ma nufacturers.

With th e appropriate software you can use your Smar tCard as an alternative to password protection,

but also as a digital signature, for encrypting your e-mails or for home banking.

We recommend that you always use two SmartCards. Always keep one of the SmartCards

in a safe place if you are carrying the other SmartCard with you.

In order to be able to take adva ntage of all the security features of your notebook,

you will need a CardOS SmartCard from Fujitsu.

The SmartCard can only be used with a PIN, offering maximum protection even if

you lose the SmartCard. In order to maximise your security, the CardOS SmartCard

is disabled if three incorrect attempts are made to enter the PIN.

When you use the CardOS SmartCard for the ﬁrst time, you will either need to enter the

preset PIN "12345678" or the PIN given to you by your systems administrator.

Inserting the S

martCard

Do not use force when inserting and removing the SmartCard.

Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the SmartCard reader.

► Slide the Sma rtCard into the SmartCard

reader with the chip facing upwa rds (on

some variants it faces down ) and to the front.
