If the model you purchased is compliant, it uses the ENERGY STAR logo and the following information applies. Dynabook is a partner in the ENERGY STAR Program and has designed this computer to meet the latest ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. Your computer ships with the power management options preset to a configuration that will provide the most stable operating environment and optimum system performance for both AC power and battery modes. To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-
power Sleep Mode which shuts down the system and display within 15 minutes of inactivity in AC power mode. Dynabook recommends that you leave this and other energy saving features active, so that your computer will operate at its maximum energy efficiency. You can wake the computer from Sleep Mode by pressing the power button. Your ENERGY STAR certified computer should be set by default to enter a low-power "sleep mode" after a period of inactivity. Simply touching the mouse or keyboard "wakes"
the computer in seconds. These sleep features can save you up to $23 per year (200 kWh per year in electricity) and prevent up to 300 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually. To learn how to adjust or activate these sleep settings on your computer, please go to:
www.energystar.gov/sleepinstructions To activate sleep settings organization-wide quickly and easily through network tools, please go to:
www.energystar.gov/powermanagement Disposing of the computer and the computer's battery The computer's battery pack is not user-accessible. Contact an authorized service provider for details regarding how to dispose of the computer and the battery pack. Dynabook is strongly committed to reducing electronic waste. For the efficient use of resources and appropriate treatment of hazardous substances, local, state and federal regulations must be adhered to when recycling your electronic device.

User's Manual 1-16 http://us.dynabook.com/company/corporate-social-responsibility/sustainability General Precautions Your computer is designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the computer. Be certain to read the following general precautions and to note the cautions included in the text of the manual. Provide adequate ventilation Always make sure that your computer and AC adaptor have adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your computer is in Sleep Mode). In this condition, observe the following:
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object. Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as an electric blanket or heater. Never cover or block the air vents including those at the base of the computer. Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents. Always provide sufficient space around the computer. Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious injury. Creating a computer-friendly environment Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer and any other items you are using, such as a printer. Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they might overheat. To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area from:
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the computer) or speakerphones Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature change such as air conditioner vents or heaters Extreme heat, cold, or humidity Liquids and corrosive chemicals User's Manual 1-17 Stress injury Heat injury Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. It also includes information on work space design, posture, and lighting that can help reduce physical stress. Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the computer for a long time, for example if you rest the computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury. If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can become hot.

Observe the following before you place your finger on the sensor whether for fingerprint enrollment/registration or recognition:
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly. Remove static electricity from your fingers by touching any metal surface. Static electricity is a common cause of sensor failures, especially when the weather is dry. User's Manual 4-5 11 Clean the sensor with a lint-free cloth. Do not use detergent or any other chemicals to clean the sensor. Avoid the following finger conditions for enrollment or recognition as they might result in fingerprint enrollment errors or a drop in the fingerprint recognition success rate:
Soaked or swollen finger, for example as might occur after taking a bath Injured finger Wet finger Soiled or oily finger Extremely dry skin condition on finger Observe the following to improve the fingerprint recognition success rate:
Enroll two or more fingers. Enroll additional fingers if a recognition failure often occurs when using already enrolled fingers. Check the condition of your finger. Any conditions which have changed since enrollment, such as injury, rough skin, and extremely dry, wet, soiled, dirty, oily, soaked or swollen fingers, might lower the recognition success rate. Also if the fingerprint is worn down or the finger becomes thinner or fatter, the recognition success rate might be lowered. As the fingerprint for each finger is different and unique, you should ensure that only the registered or enrolled fingerprint or fingerprints are used for identification. The fingerprint sensor compares and analyzes the unique characteristics in a fingerprint. However, there might be instances where certain users are unable to register their fingerprints due to insufficient unique characteristics in their fingerprints. The recognition success rate might differ from user to user. This section explains battery types, use, recharging methods and handling.

Clicking the battery icon on the Windows Taskbar User's Manual 4-8 Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window Wait several seconds to monitor the remaining operating time because the computer needs time to check the remaining capacity of the battery pack and then calculate the remaining operating time, based on this together with the current power consumption. Be aware that the actual remaining operating time might differ slightly from the calculated time. With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery capacity will gradually decrease. In view of this, it is noted that an often used, older battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when both are fully charged. Maximizing battery operating time The usefulness of a battery depends on how long it can supply power on a single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:
Processor speed Screen brightness Internal storage drive power off period How often and for how long you use the internal storage drive and external disk drives, for example, optical disc How much charge the battery contained to begin with How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the battery supplies power Where you store your programs and data Whether you close the display panel when you are not using the keyboard - closing the display saves power. The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low temperatures. System Sleep Mode System Hibernation Mode Display power off period Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if you are frequently turning the computer off and on. Battery pack exhausted time When you turn off the power of your computer with the battery pack fully charged, the battery pack will exhaust within the following approximate period:

The wireless devices have not completed verification of connection and operation with all devices which are using the Wireless LAN or Bluetooth radio technology. Bluetooth and Wireless LAN devices operate within the same radio frequency range and might interfere with one another. If you use Bluetooth and Wireless LAN devices simultaneously, you might occasionally experience a less than optimal network performance or even lose your network connection. If you experience any such problem, immediately turn off either one of your Bluetooth or Wireless LAN. Wireless devices and your health Wireless products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by wireless products however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Because wireless products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Dynabook believes wireless products are safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some situations or environments, the use of wireless products might be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations might for example include:
Using the wireless products equipment on board of airplanes, or In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment (for example, airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the wireless device prior to turning on the equipment. User's Manual 7-4 Wireless LAN Technology The wireless communication function of the computer supports some wireless communication devices. Only some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions. Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt Wi-Fi or Bluetooth operation. Turn off all wireless functionalities when near a person who might have a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device. Radio waves might affect pacemaker or medical device operation, possibly resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction for your medical device when using any wireless functionality. Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment, possibly resulting in serious injury. It might not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the new network (*) has to be configured for all computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable network connections.
* Make sure to use new network name. Security Dynabook strongly recommends that you enable encryption functionality, otherwise your computer is open to illegal access by an outsider using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider might illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or destruction of stored data. Dynabook is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

User's Manual 7-5 Country/region where the product was purchased Type of product Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations. Although Wireless LAN networking products have been designed for operation in the license-free 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band, local radio regulations might impose a number of limitations to the use of wireless communication equipment. Radio Frequency Band 5 GHz (5150-5850 MHz) (Revision a, n, ac and ax) Band 2.4 GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz) (Revision b/g, n and ax) The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit range might travel larger distances. The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the radio that might either absorb or reflect the radio signal. Radio Frequency Interference Requirements This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices. Bluetooth wireless technology Some computers in this series have Bluetooth wireless communication function which eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices such as computers, printers, and mobile phones. When it is enabled, Bluetooth provides a safe and trustworthy wireless personal area network environment that is quick and easy. You cannot use the built-in Bluetooth functions of the computer and an external Bluetooth adaptor simultaneously. For reference, Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:
Security Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:
