Battery

The battery supplies your notebook with the necessary power during mobile use. You can increase battery life by enabling the system's power management features. The life of the battery is dependent on its proper storage, the number of charging/discharging cycles and the operating temperature of the notebook.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
Only use batteries approved by Fujitsu Siemens Computers for your notebook. Take care not to drop batteries or otherwise damage their casing (fire risk). If rechargeable batteries develop a fault please stop using them immediately. Do not touch the contacts of batteries. Never interconnect the positive and negative terminals of a battery. Batteries are harmful to the environment. You should dispose of them following guidance from your local District Council.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter. The battery can only be recharged if the ambient temperature of the notebook falls within the permitted temperature range. The time taken to load the battery depends on its usage. Information on the battery charging time is contained in the "Technical data" chapter. 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 to an energy-saving mode. Storing the battery Keep the battery pack between 0C and +30C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit). The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower is the rate of self-discharge. If you store rechargeable batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge level should be approx. 30%. To prevent exhaustive discharge, check the charging level of the batteries at regular intervals.

Multi-format DVD burner with double layer support
The Multi-format DVD burner with double layer support is a Class 1 laser according to IEC 60825-1. It contains a light emitting diode (LED) which may produce a stronger laser beam than a Class 1 laser. It is dangerous to look directly at this beam. Therefore, do not remove any drive housing parts.
With the Multi-format DVD burner with double layer support you can read all optical data storage media named above. You can also write CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD+Rs, DVD+RWs, DVD-Rs, DVDRWs and DVD+R DLs.
