Safety Instructions
Please follow the instructions in this section for the safe operation of your notebook:
Do not allow small children to play unattended with electrical equipment. Children
are incapable of judging potential risks properly.
Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from children. The danger of
suffocation could arise in the case of misuse.
Do not open the case of the notebook, the battery or the power adaptor. When the
case is open there is a danger of severe electric shock.
CD-ROM-/CDRW-/DVD-drives are Laser Class 1 devices. These lasers must remain in
their sealed casing. DO NOT remove the drive covers, as exposure to the lasers may
be harmful.
Do not insert objects through the slots and openings of the notebook. This may
lead to electric shock, electrical short-circuit or fire that will damage your notebook.
Slots and openings in the notebook serve to ventilate it. Do not cover up these
openings, because the notebook could overheat.
The notebook is not intended to be operated in a heavy industry company.
Operation under extreme environmental conditions can result in damage to your
notebook.
Do not operate the notebook during a thunderstorm, in order to avoid damage
through lightning strike.
Never place objects on top of the notebook that would exert any pressure on the
display. There is a danger that even slight pressure may break the TFT display.
There is a risk of injury if the TFT display breaks. Use protective gloves to pack up
the broken pieces and contact customer service to arrange for proper disposal. It is
important to thoroughly wash your hands after handling a broken TFT display.
There is a chance that chemicals may have been released.
To avoid damage to the TFT Display, never open it more than 120º. Do not forcibly
open it.
In order to avoid damage to the display, do not touch it with your fingers or sharp
objects.
Never lift the notebook by the TFT Display; doing so could break the hinges.
Switch off your Notebook immediately or do not switch it on at all and contact
customer service …
… if the power cord or the connectors attached to it are burnt or damaged. Replace
the defective power cord with an original power cord. Under no circumstances may
a defective power cord be repaired.
... if the housing of the Notebook is damaged or fluids have leaked into it. Have the
Notebook checked by customer service first, because the Notebook may not be
safely operated otherwise and there may be a life-threatening risk of electrocution!

Data Security
Attention!
Every time you update your data make back-up copies on an external
storage medium. The supplier does not assume liability for data loss or
damage to data storage units, and no claims can be accepted for damages
resulting from the loss of data or consequential losses.
Set-Up Location
Keep your notebook and all connected peripherals away from moisture, dust, heat
and direct sunlight. Failure to do so can lead to Notebook malfunction or damage.
It is highly recommended you do not use the notebook outdoors.
Operate the notebook and all peripherals on a stable, balanced and vibration-free
surface.
Do not leave the base of your notebook on your lap or any part of your body for a
long period of time. The notebook can become very warm while it is turned on or
charging and can cause discomfort or injury from heat exposure.
The device will emit heat during operation; the keyboard and the hand
compartment can warm up through this. This warming is normal and harmless.
In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but
completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time. We
recommend you to ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the
formation of the smell. During the development of this product, we have made
sure that the applicable limits are clearly fallen below.
Your notebook is not suitable for use at video workstation devices in the sense of §2
of the video workstation regulation.
Safety Instructions - 5 -
Safety Handling Components Aid Appendix
Ambient Temperature
The notebook is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature between
+41° (5° C) and +95° F (35° C) and at a relative humidity between 20% and 80%
(without condensation).
When powered off, the notebook can be stored at temperatures between
32° and 140° F (0° and 60° C).
Unplug the cable during thunderstorms and make especially sure to remove the
antenna cables, if present. We recommend the use of a surge protector for
additional safety, in order to protect your notebook from being damaged by power
peaks or lightning strikes through the power network.
Wait until the notebook has reached ambient (room) temperature before turning it
on or connecting it to the power adapter. Drastic variations in temperature and
humidity can create condensation within the Notebook and may cause it to short-
circuit.
For transporting the notebook keep the original packing.
Safety Instructions

Working in Comfort
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential
for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain proper posture.
Back – While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported by the
chair’s backrest in erect position or angled slightly backwards.
Arms – Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with
forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.
Wrists – Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard,
mouse or trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or more than 10 degrees up
or down.
Legs – Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your lower
legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest flat on the
floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double check that you have your seat height
adjusted correctly before getting a footrest.
Head – Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid working with
your head or trunk twisted.
Overall – Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.

Power Adapter
Your notebook is supplied with a universal AC power adapter, which automatically adjusts
to the available power source. The following levels are supported: AC 100-240V~/
50-60 Hz. Please follow the power supply safety instructions found on page 5.
The power adapter is connected via a power cord to an AC outlet. The DC power lead
from the power adapter is connected to the rear side of the notebook (20).
The adapter has an on and off switch. No electricity will be used and the notebook will not
be supplied with electricity if the switch is set to OFF (0).
The adapter provides the notebook with power in the ON setting (1) and also charges the
battery. The power supply indicators of the notebook provide details on the operating
state. The battery is also being charged when you are working on your notebook with the
power adapter. The power adapter is still live if the notebook is not connected with it. You
should therefore unplug the power adapter from the outlet if it is not connected to the
notebook or set the adapter to OFF (0).
Warning!

Regional Playback Information for DVD
The playback of DVD movies includes the decoding of MPEG2 videos, digital AC3 audio
data and the deciphering of CSS protected contents.
CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name of a data protection program incorporated
by the movie industry as an action against illegal copies.
Among the numerous regulations for CSS licensees the most important ones are the
country specific playback restrictions.
In order to facilitate the geographically restricted release of movies, DVD titles are released
for certain regions. Copyright laws require the restriction of each DVD movie to a certain
region (usually the region, in which it is sold).
DVD movie versions can be published in several regions but the CSS regulations require
that each CSS decipherable system may only be used in one region.
Note
The decoding software included with your Notebook may be changed for
regional DVD decoding up to five times, after which the drive will only
play DVD movies for the region setting last entered. Changing the region
code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by
warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be billed to
the user.
Subjects Concerning the CD/DVD-Rewriter
This Section only relates to devices that have been supplied with a CD-RW, a combination

The Network
What is a network?
A network means connecting your notebook to one or several other computers. Users can
transfer data between computers and share resources such as printers and hard disk
drives.
Here are some practical examples:
You can exchange E-mail and manage appointments in an
office.
Users can share a printer in a network and save their data on a central server.
Two or more computers can be connected to play network games or share data.
Ethernet-Network
If your notebook has an Ethernet connection, you can use this to connect to a network.
The following explanation refers to notebooks with a network connector.
Connect one end to the RJ45 connection (Western plug) at the network interface of your
notebook (16) and the other to another PC or a hub/switch.
The Windows Help and Support Centre offer extensive information about networking your
Notebook. You can access this information by clicking on Start, then Help and Support.
The Network - 51 -
Safety Handling Components Aid Appendix
Wireless LAN
Wireless LAN is an optional feature. This function allows you to create a wireless network
link with an access point or directly with another wireless-enabled PC.
Using the key combination Fn+F1 you can enable or disable the wireless LAN function. A
corresponding LED will light.
Warning!
Make sure the Wireless LAN option is switched OFF in any environment
where it might interfere with critical and sensitive devices, e.g., on aircraft, in
hospitals and other medical centres, etc.
Conditions
An access point is a wireless transmitter that communicates with your notebook and
controls access to the network connection (e.g., a home network or a broadband
connection such as DSL). Wireless access points are often found in offices, airports,
universities or Internet cafés. They offer access to networks or to the Internet. Access
authorizations are normally needed. A fee may be required to use a public access point.
To set up a wireless network to share Internet access, files, and printers at home, you will
need an access point, a router, and a broadband (DSL or cable) modem. Some access
points can also serve as a router and/or a broadband modem. Check with your retailer or
Internet Service Provider to find the best solution for your needs. A link to another
computer with wireless LAN functionality can also be created without an access point.
This will allow you to share files, but you will need an access point and a router to share an
Internet connection. The wireless network connection works in accordance with the
IEEE 802.11n Draft (compatible with the 802.11g Standard). The standard 802.11a is
also supported.
If encrypted transmission is used, this must operate according to the same principle on
all devices. Encryption is a method of protecting the network from unauthorized access.
The transmission speed (max. 300 Mb and p/s) can vary according to the distance
loading of the partner.
The Network
- 52 -
Troubleshooting within the Network
Why does an error message appear when I click on the network
environment?
The computer name must be unique on the network and may
not be the same as the task group.
It appears that the network boards are unable to communicate. What
might be the problem?
Maybe one of the used network boards works with a different
speed (e. g. 10 instead 100 Mbit/s) and your network computer
is unable to recognize this. If necessary, set the network driver to
the compatible speed.
If two PCs should be linked you require a cross-link cable,
otherwise use a patch cable.
In addition, check the protocols and the configuration.
The data transmission is incorrect or very slow. What might be the
problem?
Maybe you have the wrong cable (UTP / CAT3 or lower) or the
problem is the proximity of a power cord or another source of
interference.

Safety Handling Components Aid Appendix
Bluetooth (optional)
Bluetooth wireless technology is designed to replace cables between devices, such as your
printer, keyboard, and mouse.
Bluetooth wireless technology operates over a short distance. Bluetooth devices use radio
transmission, which enables your computer, mobile phone, printer, keyboard, mouse, and
other devices to communicate with each other without cables.
There are several uses for Bluetooth wireless technology, including, but not limited to:
Creating a wireless connection to the Internet with a mobile phone.
Transferring files between computers or between a computer and another device.
Printing to a Bluetooth wireless printer.
Using a Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse.
Joining a personal area network (PAN).
Synchronizing a personal digital assistant (PDA) to a computer or another device
using Bluetooth wireless technology.
The data transfer speed for Bluetooth wireless technology can be up to 700 kilobits (Kbp/s)
per second. The data transfer speed can vary depending on the device or environmental
factors. A Bluetooth device can transmit through walls, pockets, and briefcases.
Since Bluetooth is using the same frequency range as WLAN, simultaneous use might
cause interference. If this should happen you can disable one service temporary.
With the symbol in the taskbar you can activate or deactivate the Bluetooth function.
Warning!
Make sure the Bluetooth option is switched OFF in any environment where it
might interfere with critical and sensitive devices, e.g., on aircraft, in
hospitals and other medical centres, etc.

Make a backup and a retrospective backup of selected data on
external media (CD-R), in order to become familiar with the
technology.
A backup is unusable if you are not in a position to recreate the
data, the medium (CD-R) is defective or is no longer available.
When is the recovery of the factory setting recommended?
This method should be chosen as the last resort. Read chapter
System Restore” concerning the possible alternatives.
Why is the boot partition missing when booting from the support/
application disc?
The first partition is formatted with the file system NTFS.
Compared to FAT32 this file system offers more security and a
more efficient access. However, NTFS partitions can only be read
from operating systems supporting this. This is not the case in the
aforementioned disc.
