Introduction
Innovative technology and ergonomic design make this workstation the ideal user-friendly and
reliable travel companion. The removable keyboard now provides even more flexibility in the use of
your workstation. Your operating system is pre-installed on the hard disk to facilitate the procedure
when you use your workstation for the first time.
The energy-saving processor and the energy-saving functions that can be configured allow you to
make the most effective use of the battery capacity. By using an additional battery instead of the
disk drive, you can double the workstation's mobile operation time.
Your workstation has 64 -768 MB of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level. Data is
stored on an Enhanced-IDE hard disk drive. Your workstation is supplied with both a 3 1/2" floppy
disk drive and a CD-ROM drive. In addition, your workstation can be equipped with a DVD drive, a
Zip drive or with a 2nd or 3rd hard disk drive. Two PC card slots (CardBus or PCMCIA) enable
simultaneous operation of two Type I/II/III PC cards (a maximum of one Type III and Type II each).
You can use the mouse supplied or your workstation's touchpad to control the mouse. A double-
touch directly on the touchpad is all that is required, for example, to open an application.
Your workstation has connectors for external devices such as, e. g. external monitor, television,
printer and mouse. The parallel port (which supports ECP and EPP modes) is designed to
accommodate bi-directional data transfer. You can connect peripherals such as, e. g. scanner,
loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard or mouse via the USB interface. The workstation has a fast
IrDA interface for wireless data transfer. In addition, the workstation has a connection port for a
QuickPort S.
An audio controller, two built-in loudspeakers, a built-in microphone, an audio input and output
provide your workstation with an audio capability. You can also connect an external microphone,
external loudspeakers, a joystick or MIDI devices.
The system settings of the workstation can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup program.
Certain system settings (e. g. screen display, energy saving functions) can be modified via various
key combinations while you are using the workstation.
Your workstation has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorized persons can
access your data. As a result, access to your workstation is protected with a chipcard reader. The
security functions in the BIOS Setup also allow you to protect your data by means of passwords.
This Operating Manual tells you how to put your workstation into operation and how to operate it in
daily use.
Additional information on this workstation is also contained in:
• in the "Safety Notes" manual which is included with your workstation
• in the documentation of your operating system
• on the CD "Drivers & Utilities"
• in the information files (e. g. *.TXT,*.DOC,*.WRI,*.HLP)
• on the Internet at www.fsc-pc.de/drivercd/start.htm
i
Some of the manuals listed can be found on the CD "Drivers & Utilities" provided
with your computer. These manuals can be read and printed with the program
Acrobat Reader contained on the CD.

On the move with the workstation
Please observe the points listed below when transporting your workstation.
Transporting the workstation
• Do not carry the workstation by its open screen or by an empty slot.
• Switch the workstation off and close the covers for the ports.
• Remove all data carriers (e. g. floppy disk, CD) from the drives.
• If it needs to be shipped, use the original packaging or other suitable packaging to protect it
from damage caused by mishandling.
• Protect the workstation from severe shocks and extreme temperatures (e. g., direct sunlight in
a car).

Important notes Cleaning the workstation
8A26391-K82-Z110-1-7619
Before starting the journey
• Save your data (Backup).
• Remove all data carriers (e. g. floppy disk, CD) from the drives.
• If you wish to use your workstation during a flight, check first with the flight attendants if it is
permissible to do so.
• If you are travelling abroad, ensure that the power adapter can be operated on the local line
voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate power adapter for your workstation.
Do not use any other voltage converter!
Cleaning the workstation
!Switch the workstation off and pull the power plug of the power adapter out of the powe
r
socket.
Do not clean any interior parts yourself, leave this job to a service technician.
Do not use any cleaning agents that contain abrasives or may corrode plastic.
Ensure that no liquid enters the workstation.
Wipe the casing with a dry cloth. If particularly dirty, use a cloth which has been moistened in mild
domestic detergent and then carefully wrung out.
To clean the keyboard and the touchpad, you can use disinfectant wipes.
Wipe the monitor casing with a soft, moistened cloth.

A26391-K82-Z110-1-7619 9
Preparation for use and operation
!Please read the "Important notes" in the previous chapter.
You must charge the batteries of workstation and keyboard and install the application programs
before you can work with the workstation. The operating system and drivers required are
preinstalled.
When not plugged into a power outlet, the workstation runs on its built-in battery. You can increase
the battery's life by enabling the system's energy saving functions.
If you use the workstation in a normal office situation, you run it off the mains with the aid of the
power adapter, or in a QuickPort S.
The chapter on "Connecting external devices" has instructions on how to connect external devices
(e. g. mouse, printer) to the workstation.
Unpacking and checking the delivery
Ê Unpack all the individual parts.
Ê Check the delivery for damage incurred during transportation.
Ê Check whether the delivery agrees with the details in the delivery note.
Ê Check whether all necessary details have been entered on the first page of the guarantee
coupon booklet.
Should you discover that the delivery does not correspond to the delivery note, notify your local
sales outlet immediately.
i
Do not discard the original packing material of the devices. Keep it for future
transportation.
Selecting parking location
Select a suitable location for the workstation before setting it up. Consider the following points when
looking for a location.
• It is recommended that you place your workstation on a surface with good anti-slip qualities. In
view of the multitude of different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is possible that the
rubber feet of the workstation will mark the surface they stand on.
• Do not expose the workstation to extreme environmental conditions. Protect it from dust,
humidity and heat.
• Keep other objects 100 mm away from the workstation and its power adapter to ensure
adequate ventilation. The space between the workstation's feet must be clear.. Do not place
the workstation on a soft surface (e. g., a carpet or soft furnishings). Do not cover the
ventilation slots in the workstation and the power adapter.
• The power adapter must be at least 200 mm away from the workstation. It must be free-
standing and must not be covered. Do not place the power adapter on heat-sensitive material.

Preparation for use and operation Producing readiness for operation
10 A26391-K82-Z110-1-7619
• For wireless data transfer you must align the workstation's IrDA interface with that of the
partner device (e. g. PC). The devices must not be more than one meter apart.
Producing readiness for operation
!The power cord supplied conforms to the requirements of the country in which you
purchased your workstation. Make sure that the power cable is approved for use in the
country in which you intend to use it.
The workstation and the power adapter should be at least 200 mm apart. Keep othe
r
objects 100 mm clear of the workstation and its power adapter.
Do not cover the ventilation slots in the workstation and the power adapter.
Ê Place the workstation on a flat, sturdy surface.

3
Ê Plug the DC output connector on the power adapter into the DC input connector (DC IN) on the
workstation (1).
Ê Connect the power cable to the power adapter (2).
Ê Plug the power cable into the power outlet (3).
i
You can also make your workstation operational by connecting it to the optional car
adapter (see "Charging, caring for and maintaining the workstation battery").
