| Disclaimers: | ||
| The above information shows the general technical specifications of the product and does not represent actual configuration that would be sold in your region. For specific configurations and their availability, please check with your local distributors. | ||
| 1. Please check actual bundling with country local distributor. | ||
| 2. It is natural for all thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCD) to show a small number of missing or discolored dots. These are commonly known as non-conforming pixels. This is a technology limitation of TFT LCD and does not represent a defect. Fujitsu warranty does not cover limitations in technology such as non-conforming pixels. | ||
| 3. 2 x 4GB DDR3 800MHz maximum memory is supported when Fujitsu recommended 2GB DDR3 800MHz memory module is made available. 2x4GB option is only valid in 64bits platform. | ||
| 4. Results obtained from BAPCo MobileMark 2007(Productivity Workload) performed on systems with maximum battery life settings under laboratory testing environment. Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, sound volume settings, running applications, connected peripherals, power management settings, battery conditioning, and other customer preferences in the real life situation. Built-in bay device or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. Note: Up to 7h 20min battery life is based on Intel® Core™ i3-380UM with standard 6-cell battery. | ||
| 5. This refers to Windows 7® hard disk drives C:\ and D:\. 50/50 refers to approximate 50% allocation of user accessible hard disk storage to C:\ and D:\ drives. For Windows 7® hard disk drives, 16GB will be reserved for internal recovery usage which is not shown. | ||
| 6. This term does not represent actual data rate of 1000/100/10Mbps and simply indicates compliance with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u and IEEE 802.3ab standards. Actual maximum data rate depends on network configurations, cable conditions as well as connected devices. | ||
| 7. 3.5G configuration availability varies from countries. Please check the actual bundling with local distributor. 3.5G module comes with a 1 year local carry-in warranty. | ||
| 8. Subjected to network and SIM capabilities. Data rates refer to download or upload speed which is also dependent on network capabilities and conditions. | ||
| 9. Spill-resistant keyboard does not imply the system is water-proof. If liquid is spilt onto the keyboard, power off the system immediately and turn the notebook upside down to drain off the liquid. | ||
| 10. BIOS Lock needs a supervisor/user password to access BIOS setup. BIOS settings can be configured to prompt for password at every first bootup or all bootup sequences. Access to BIOS setup is needed to configure Hard Disk Lock. Hard Disk Lock requires an access key to retrieve data on the hard disk. This is a Data Confidentiality security feature. Anti-theft Lock Slot allows the use of a lock to physically secure the LIFEBOOK.
NOTE: Loss of password requires the LIFEBOOK to be returned to Japan factory for system refresh. Cost of shipment and lost data will be borne by the customer. Back up your user’s profile before changing HDD. Without the user’s profile associated with a document at the point of encryption, Softex OmniPass cannot decrypt the encrypted document. 2 passwords refers to Master Password and User Password of the HDD Lock. The Master Password can be used to clear the User Password at the BIOS settings under Hard Disk Security. If HDD Lock prompt is enabled, only the User Password can be used to boot up the unit. Loss of these 2 passwords means the HDD content cannot be retrieved. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the safe keeping of these 2 passwords for retrieval of data from the locked HDD. |
