Innovative technology...
and ergonomic design make your AMILO a reliable, convenient notebook.
Your notebook is available in several different versions. Most of the sections in this manual apply to
all models – any differences are indicated separately. Some of the illustrations and features in this
manual may differ from your model and are for guidance only. The "optional" components described
in this manual are only available for certain models and must be selected at the time of purchase. At
the time this manual is printed it is not possible to say whether the "model-specific" components
and functions described in this manual will be available for your own particular model.
If you have purchased a notebook with a Microsoft Windows operating system, this will be pre-installed
and optimally configured for you. The notebook is ready to use when you switch it on for the first time.
Your notebook features the very latest technology so that you get the best performance from
your computing experience. Depending on which model you own, you have access to:
• up to 4 Gbytes of main memory (RAM). Please contact our Technical Support
for information on released memory modules
• one analogue and one digital screen port to allow two external screens to be connected
• a CD/DVD burner for watching DVD movies or recording your own CDs and DVDs
• several USB ports which provide easy expansion with webcams, game pads, printers and more
• a USB port with charging function, to allow a connected USB device to be
charged, even when the notebook is switched off
• an integral webcam to take photos or to video chat
• a CIR (Customized InfraRed) interface for operating your notebook with a remote control
• an internal modem, LAN or wireless LAN for Internet access
• an ExpressCard slot for operating an ExpressCard (type 34/54)
• a memory card slot for transferring digital photos, music and videos quickly onto your notebook
• two onboard microphones for voice recording or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
• an integrated audio controller and two stereo loudspeakers for your audio enjoyment
• You can connect a microphone, digital amplifier or external loudspeakers
to obtain even better sound
With the user-friendly "BIOS Setup Utility" you can control your notebook’s hardware and protect
your system better against unauthorised access by using the powerful password properties.
This operating manual tells you how to put your AMILO into operation, and
how to operate it in daily use.

Notes
Please observe the points listed below when travelling with your notebook.
Before you travel

► Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
Travel,notebook
Notebook
► Switch off the radio component for data security reasons. With data traffic via a wireless
connection, it is also possible for unauthorised third parties to receive data.
Information on activating data encryption is provided in the documentation

for your radio component.
► If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight
attendants if it is OK to do so.
When travelling in other countries

► If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the
local mains voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for
your notebook. Do not use any other voltage converter!
► Check whether the local power supply and the specifications of the power cable are
compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable that matches the local conditions. Do
not use a connection adapter for electrical devices to connect the notebook.
► Enquire with the corresponding government office of the country you will be
travelling in as to whether you may operate the radio component integrated in
your notebook there (see also "CE marking", Page 72).
► If you are planning to use a modem, please be aware that it may not necessarily be compatible
with the local telephone system. This may result in poor performance, or the modem may not work
at all. You may require a country-specific telephone adapter (available as an optional accessory).
Transporting the Notebook

The remote control or a placeholder must occupy the ExpressCard slot. This will
prevent any foreign bodies from entering the notebook via the slot.
Protect the notebook from severe shocks and extreme temperatures
(e.g. direct sunlight in a car).
► Remove all disks (e.g. CD, DVD) from the drives.

Notebook
Transportation
► Switch the notebook off.

► Unplug the mains adapter and all external devices from the power socket.
► Disconnect the mains adapter cable and the data cables for all external devices.
► Close the LCD screen so that it locks into place.
► To protect against damaging jolts and bumps, use a notebook carrying
case to transport your notebook.

10600906461, edition 1 7
Using your notebook for the first time

Please read the chapter entitled "Important notes", Page 4.
Notebook
Gettingstarted
Before you can use your notebook for the first time you need to charge the battery and install the
supplied software. The Windows operating system and drivers required are already pre-installed.
Upon delivery, the battery can be found in the battery compartment or in the accessories kit. The
battery must be charged if you want to operate your notebook with the battery.
When not plugged into a mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can
increase the battery’s life by enabling the system’s energy saving functions.
When you use your notebook in your home or office, we recommend you use
the mains adapter instead of the battery.
Please read the chapter entitled "Connecting external devices", Page 49 for instructions on
how to connect devices such as a mouse and a printer to the notebook.
Unpacking and checking your notebook

Should you discover any damage incurred during transportation, notify
your local sales outlet immediately!
► Unpack all the individual parts.

Selecting the location

Power adapter
Notebook
Location,selectingthe
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider
the following points when selecting a location:
• Never place the notebook on a soft surface (e.g. carpeting, upholstered furniture,
bed). This can block the air vents and cause damage due to overheating.
• Do not place the notebook directly on your legs for extended periods. The
underside of the notebook heats up during normal operation. Extended contact
with the skin can become unpleasant or even result in burns.
• Place the notebook on a stable, flat, non-slip surface. Please note that
the rubber feet may mark certain types of surfaces.
• Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and its mains
adapter to ensure adequate ventilation.
• Never cover the ventilation slots on the notebook or the mains adapter.
• Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect
the notebook against dust, humidity and heat.

LCD screen
Information on the LCD screen
Notes
LCDscreen
High-quality TFT displays are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH.
For technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal,
clear picture can only be ensured in the resolution intended for the particular TFT monitor. A
monitor resolution which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.
The monitor resolution is understood to be the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (i.e. "picture
elements") which make up the monitor display. For example, "WUXGA" stands for 1920 x 1200
pixels. Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As
a result, a WUXGA monitor consists of 1920 x 1200 x 3 = 6,912,000 subpixels.
Frequently used monitor resolutions Number of pixels
XGA 1024 x 768
WXGA 1280 x 800
SXGA 1280 x 1024
SXGA+ 1400 x 1050
WXGA+ 1440 x 900
UXGA 1600 x 1200
WSXGA 1680 x 1050
WUXGA 1920 x 1200
The screen resolution of the LCD screen of your notebook is optimally set at the factory.
Permanently unlit or lit pixels

The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number
of pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
Example:
A 15" LCD screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 = 786432 pixels. Each
pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 2.4 million subpixels
in total. According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and 5 subpixels may be
defective, i.e. a total of 17 faulted subpixels. That is approx. 0.0007 % of the entire subpixel!
Background lighting
TFT monitors are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the background
lighting can decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, you can
set the brightness of your monitor individually.

Life,battery
Battery
The battery is one of the most important components of your notebook. When not plugged into a
mains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by
caring for the battery properly. The average battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
You can increase the time for which your notebook will operate under battery
power. We therefore recommend that while operating under battery power, you
should switch off the Windows Vista Aero graphics user interface.
► Select Startsymbol – (Settings) – Control Panel– Appearance and Personalization – Screen colour and
appearance – Open the Properties for Classical Appearance to set further options and select – Basic
Windows Vista – or – Standard Windows – or – Classic Windows – to switch off Windows Vista Aero.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery

Battery
The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature
is between 5°C and max. 35°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter
(see "Connecting the power adapter", Page 9).
You can maintain long life from your battery by allowing it to discharge fully before you recharge it
again. To do this, leave your notebook turned on when it is operated with the battery. Once the
battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within
five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.
Information on the battery charging time can be found in "Technical data", Page 69.
Monitoring the battery charging level

Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When
you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.
Battery: storing
Chargingcapacity,battery
Self-discharge,battery
Battery
Keep the battery pack between 0 °C and +30 °C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower
the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (more than two months), the battery
charge level should be approx. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive discharge, check the
charging level of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.

USB connection with charging function

USBchargingfunction
If you connect USB devices to this USB port, you should operate your
notebook using power from the mains adapter, otherwise the battery will
discharge when the notebook is switched off.
The power supply unit must already be connected when the notebook is
switched off, as otherwise the USB charging function will be disabled and
the connected USB devices will not be charged.
Some USB devices (e.g. mobile telephony) require a driver in order to utilise the USB
charging function. In this case the USB charging function will not work when the
notebook is switched off, as no drivers are active when the notebook is switched off.
You can use this USB port to charge or supply power to a USB device (e.g. to charge a PDA
or a mobile phone or to connect a USB lamp), even if the notebook is switched off.
The USB port with charging function has its own status indicator. If a USB device is connected
to this USB port, this will be shown by the status indicator as follows:
Mains adapter connected:
• Indicator lights up green: The notebook is switched on.
• Indicator flashes green: The notebook is switched off.
In battery operation:
• The indicator lights up red: The notebook is switched on.
• Indicator flashes red: The notebook is switched off.

This means that considerable effort has been made to optimise components and
equipment in terms of weight, space and energy requirements. Depending on the
particular configuration you have purchased, it is possible that functionality may be
slightly reduced compared to a desktop PC if you are running processor-intensive
gaming software, e.g. games with intensive 3D graphics. Updating your hardware
with drivers which have not been approved by Fujitsu Siemens Computers may
result in performance losses, data losses or malfunction of the equipment. A
list of approved drivers and current BIOS versions can be downloaded from:
"http://www.fujitsu-siemens.de/support/downloads.html"
Restoring installed software

Please create backup copies of your files on a regular basis. If data is lost, you can
restore your applications using the data carriers. However, if you do not have backup
copies of your own data files, it is no longer possible to restore them.
