Fujitsu ST5000 Modem Connection, Memory STICK/SD Card Slot, Operation of the Bridge Battery

•Switch the wireless LAN switch Off when wireless LAN functionality in not needed (applicable only for systems with optional wireless LAN).

•Use power management (available on the desktop) to help you conserve power automatically.

•Reduce the brightness of the LCD.

•Battery life is dependent upon the operating system, power settings, and applications in use.

Operation of the Bridge Battery

When installed in the Tablet PC, the battery provides power to some system components—even when the system is in the Off state. When the battery is removed, power is supplied to these components by a “bridge” battery that is built into the Tablet PC.

The bridge battery is not designed for long-term opera- tion. To maintain the bridge battery properly, observe the following measures:

•The bridge battery function is disabled if Wake On LAN is enabled in the BIOS.

•The system arrives with the bridge battery in a discharged state. Be sure to charge it sufficiently before relying upon it to support the system in the event of battery removal.

•To prevent draining the bridge battery, always store the system with a charged battery installed.

•If the bridge battery becomes drained, it takes approximately 8 hours for it to be fully recharged.

•The bridge battery charges when the AC Adapter is connected and the system is in On or Off states or Suspend mode. It charges from the battery only when the system is in the On state.

MODEM CONNECTION

The internal 56 Kbps LAN/modem module installed in the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC has actual maximum transfer rates of 53 Kbps (receive), 33.6 Kbps (send), and 14.4 Kbps (fax). Download rates are limited to 53 Kbps in the United States due to FCC restrictions.

The Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC is designed to accept a standard RJ-11 telephone plug. Connect the plug to the modem jack located on the left-hand side of the Tablet PC (See Figure 1-5 on page 6 for location). The tele- phone plug can be installed whether or not the Tablet PC has power applied.

MEMORY STICK/SD CARD SLOT

Your Tablet PC supports Memory Stick and SD flash memory cards on which you can store and transfer data to and from a variety of digital devices. These cards use flash memory architecture, which means they don’t need a power source to retain data.

Note that MagicGate functions are not supported by this slot.

Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed by Sony Electronics. Memory Stick allows you to record, transfer and share digital content, such as digital pictures, movies, music, voice, and computer data and applica- tions.

Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory Sticks, but they are shorter. Like the Memory Stick, SD Cards allow portable storage among a variety of devices, such as cell phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, and PDAs. SD Cards transfer data quickly, with low battery consumption. Like the memory stick, it uses flash memory architecture.

Installing Memory Stick/SD Cards

Memory Sticks and SD Cards are installed in the Memory Stick/SD Card slot (Figure 1-4). To install a

Memory Stick or SD Card, follow these steps:

■Installing or removing a Memory Stick or SD Card during your system’s shut- down or bootup process may damage the card and/or your computer.

■Do not insert a card into a slot if there is water or any other substance on the card as you may permanently damage the card, your Tablet PC, or both.
