Using the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21 Tablet PCThis chapter covers the fundamental concepts,basic system operation and use, and systemfunctions of the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21Tablet PC. You should familiarize yourself withthis information before you attempt to operatethe system.

SYSTEM STATESBefore you begin using the Fujitsu StylisticST4120/21 Tablet PC, review the differentsystem states (or modes) that the system canuse. Being familiar with these states will helpyou determine whether it is appropriate to turnon, resume, suspend, hibernate or shut downthe system when you begin or end a session.System behavior for each system state isdescribed briefly in the following, with eachsystem state listed in decreasing order ofpower usage:

• On state: The system is running and thedisplay screen is on.

• Idle state: Some system functions areregulated or turned off to conserve power.The display screen may be turned off. Thesystem returns to the On state when penactivity or other input is detected.

• Suspend-to-RAM mode (S3): Systemoperation is suspended. Most systemfunctions are turned off to conserve power.Power to memory is on, maintaining data inprograms that were running before systemoperation was suspended. The system does

not respond to the pen or other input whenin Suspend-to-RAM mode. Refer to the“Resuming System Operation” section laterin this chapter for information on returningthe system to the On state.

• Hibernate mode (Save-to-Disk) (S4):System operation is suspended. All systemfunctions are turned off to conserve power.Active data in programs that were runningbefore suspending system operation isstored on the hard disk drive. The systemdoes not respond to the pen or other input.Refer to the “Resuming System Operation”section later in this chapter for informationon returning the system to the On state.

• Off state: All system functions are turned offto conserve power. The system does notrespond to the pen or other input. Thesystem boots at the next system power-on.

Your system may be configured to enter someof these states automatically after a period ofinactivity to conserve battery power.

When you use the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21Tablet PC, you can change the current systemstate in a number of ways, depending on thesystem’s current state. To determine thecurrent system state, observe the Power iconin the Status display. Table 2-1 on page 20gives the different system states representedby the Power icon and describes how you canchange the system state from the current state.

Prior to using your system, be sure tofully charge the battery if you plan torun on battery power. Failure to do somay result in erratic performance.

The system consumes the sameamount of power whether it is inHibernate (Save-to-Disk) mode or theOff state.

Table 2-1 Changing System States

* Information in Table 2-1 on page 20 is supplied to help you understand which system states yoursystem can enter from the current system state. Refer to the procedures on starting the system,shutting down the system, suspending system operation, and resuming system operation givenlater in this chapter.

❖ Your system may be configured to use either Suspend-to-RAM mode or Hibernate mode.

POWERING UP THE TABLET PCFollow the procedure below to start the FujitsuStylistic ST4120/21 Tablet PC. Before you begin,confirm that the system is in the Off state. To do so,observe the Status display. If the Power icon is notvisible in the Status display, the system is in Offstate or in Hibernate (Save-to-Disk) mode and it issafe to perform this procedure. If the Power icon isvisible (either blinking or on continuously), do notperform this procedure. See “System States” earlierin this chapter for details on modes represented bythe Power icon.

1. Ensure that the battery in your Tablet PC issufficiently charged, or connect an external powersource such as the AC adapter or auto adapter toyour Tablet PC.

2. Press the Power On/Suspend/Resume button tostart the system.

After performing initialization, the system starts theoperating system installed on the hard disk drive.Once the operating system is running, you can usethe system.

SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEMFollow these steps to shut down and turn off yoursystem:

1. If system operation has been suspended, resumesystem operation. See “Resuming System Opera-tion” later in this chapter for details.

2. Save your work and close all running programs.

3. Choose Shut Down from the Windows Startmenu.

4. Carry out the Shut Down command.

The system is now in the Off state.

SUSPENDING SYSTEM OPERATIONThe Tablet PC allows you to suspend the systemoperation without closing programs or exiting theoperating system. Use this feature to conservebattery power when a system shutdown is notpractical or when the battery needs to be changed.

If you have set your system to turn poweroff from the Power Options utility in theControl Panel, the following procedure willnot be possible, since pressing the buttonshuts the system down rather thansuspending it. To change your poweroptions, go to Start -> Settings -> ControlPanel -> Power Options.

Alb Active2 (17-28) 25/3/03, 12:01 PM20


21

To suspend system operation:

1. Press the Suspend/Resume button, or carry outthe Standby command from your operatingsystem or power management program.(If your system is configured to suspendoperation using Hibernate (Save-to-Disk)mode, which is explained later in thisprocedure, a message is displayed while datais saved to your hard disk.)

2. The Power icon either flashes (Suspend-to-RAM) or is not displayed (Hibernate) whensystem operation is suspended, dependingon how your system is configured. At thispoint, programs that were running arestopped, active data is saved, and the systementers one of two different low-power states,or suspend modes, as explained in thefollowing paragraphs.

3. Observe the Power icon in the Status displayto determine which suspend mode yoursystem is using.

• Power icon is blinking: Suspend-to-RAM mode.

In this mode, active data is saved bymaintaining power to RAM while most othersystem components are powered off. TheBattery Gauge icon in the Status displayindicates the battery charge level.

• Power icon is not displayed: Hibernate(Save-to-Disk) mode.

In this mode, active data is stored on the harddisk drive and power usage is reduced to thesame level used in the Off state. When thesystem is in Hibernate mode, the BatteryGauge icon is not visible in the Status display.In this mode, there is no danger of losingdata if battery power is lost.

If you have successfully performed thisprocedure, system operation is nowsuspended. Refer to “Resuming System

Operation” later in this chapter to resumesystem operation. Also, note the followingwith regard to suspending system operation:

• You can remove the battery while the system isin Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate modes inorder to install a charged battery. To preventlosing unsaved data, wait until system operationhas suspended before you remove the battery.Note that after you remove the battery, you haveapproximately five minutes to replace it with anew battery or to plug in a power supply beforethe bridge battery is depleted.

• Your system may be configured to suspendoperation automatically after a period ofinactivity.

• Your system may be configured to enterHibernate mode automatically after a periodof time in Suspend-to-RAM mode.

• The system uses a small amount of batterypower when in Suspend-to-RAM mode.Eventually, the battery will become fullydischarged.

• If the battery charge drops to a Low-BatteryWarning level while the system is running, thesystem will beep periodically. If this occurs,suspend system operation, shut down thesystem, or attach an external power source,such as the AC adapter, to the Tablet PC.

• If the battery charge drops to a Critically Lowlevel while the system is running, the systemis forced into a pre-selected mode (Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate). If this occurs, you musteither install a charged battery, or connect anappropriate external power source such asthe AC adapter before you can resumesystem operation. (If the battery charge dropsto a Critically Low level while the system is inSuspend-to-RAM mode, the system stays inSuspend-to- RAM mode until power isrestored or totally dissipated.)

• Suspending system operation interrupts datacommunications; therefore, some programsmay block the system from suspending toprevent an interruption.

If you are replacing the battery, wait untilsystem operation is suspended and thepower icon is flashing before you remove thebattery. Failure to do so could result in loss ofyour unsaved data. (Note that if the ResumeOn LAN function is enabled in the BIOS setup,you should not remove the battery unless thesystem is shut down. When Resume ON LANis enabled, the bridge battery is disabled inorder to optimize battery life.)

If you will not be using the system for anextended period of time, shut down thesystem rather than using Suspend-to-RAM mode.

• The suspend action of the Suspend/Resumebutton may be disabled to prevent accidentalinterruption. If this is the case, pressing theSuspend/Resume button will not suspendsystem operation as described here. (In thiscase, suspend mode can only be achievedusing the system software). Contact yourlocal help desk or reseller if your systemconfiguration is not suitable.

• If your system is equipped with a PC Card thatallows you to connect to a wired or wirelessnetwork, you may be logged off the networkafter a period of inactivity while systemoperation is suspended. Contact your networkadministrator or help desk for details on log-offparameters for your network.

RESUMING SYSTEM OPERATIONTo resume system operation from eitherSuspend-to-RAM or Hibernate modes, press theSuspend/Resume button.

• From Suspend-to-RAM modeStatus lights indicate that the system state ischanging. It may take up to a minute before thesystem returns to the On state and systemoperation resumes. Note that the display turns onshortly before the pen becomes active due to thepower-up sequences observed by the system.

• From Hibernate (Save-to-Disk) modeActive data is read from the hard disk drive,and the system returns to the On state after ashort time.

• Use the system as you normally would oncesystem operation resumes.

All programs resume at the point where executionstopped when system operation was suspended.

Note that power to several systemcomponents must be restored beforesystem operation resumes. Allowsufficient time for system operation toresume before attempting to use thesystem. If your system uses Hibernatemode, it will take longer to resumeoperation as compared to using Suspend-to-RAM mode. Time is needed to readdata from the hard disk drive.

Depending upon whether you arerunning your system on battery or ACpower, the default screen brightnesssettings will be different. The screenbrightness default for running on batteryis lower than that on AC power in orderto optimize battery life.

ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY BRIGHTNESSThere are two ways to adjust the brightness ofyour display:

• Click the Tablet icon in the system tray at thebottom right of the screen. (When the cursor ison top of the icon, a message stating “Changetablet and pen settings” is displayed.) Whenthe Tablet and Pen Settings window appears,select the Display tab, and move the ScreenBrightness slider to change the brightness.

• Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel ->Tablet and Pen Settings. Select the Display tab,and move the Screen Brightness slider tochange the brightness.

USING THE PENYou can use the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21Pen to generate and create electronic “ink”, toselect items, and to navigate through programson the Tablet PC. Programs that supporthandwriting recognition also allow you to writecharacters directly on the screen with the pen.You can also use the pen as a drawing tool.

• Ensure that a screen protector isinstalled on the Tablet PC screen beforeyou use the pen. The warranty does notcover a screen that is scratched as aresult of not using a screen protector.

• Use only the pen provided with yourTablet PC. Do not use substitutes thatwere not designed for the FujitsuStylistic ST4120/21 Tablet PC. Damagecaused by using an instrument otherthan the provided pen is not covered bythe system warranty.

The Stylistic ST4120/21 pen is a sophisticated,high-quality electronic instrument that can bedamaged if used improperly. Treat the pen asyou would any precision device. The followinglist contains guidelines for proper pen handling:

Do not gesture with the pen, use it as apointer, or tap it on surfaces other than theTablet PC screen.Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen;it is designed for inserting and removing thepen from the pen holder and for attaching apen tether.Never store the pen with the tip bearing theweight of the pen (e.g., sitting tip down in apencil cup). Storing the pen tip down coulddistort the internal mechanism over a periodof time (especially in higher temperatures),causing the tip to act as if it is alwaysdepressed. To avoid damage, the pen shouldbe stored in the pen holder when not in use.

The screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately1/8 inch (3-5mm) from the screen. The pen hasthree switches: a tip switch and a barrel buttontoggle switch with switches at both ends. Whenactivated, the tip switch corresponds to the leftmouse button, and the front toggle (closest to thepen tip) barrel button switch, when used incombination with the tip switch, corresponds to theright mouse button. The rear toggle of the barrelbutton switch acts as an electronic ink “eraser”.

Here are some hints that may help you use thepen more effectively:

• To activate the tip switch, tap or hold thepen tip against the screen.

• To activate the barrel button switch, pressand hold the end of the button you wish to use(front toggle is the right mouse button switch;the rear toggle acts as an electronic “eraser”.

• To move the cursor, hold the pen tip within1/8 inch (3 - 5mm) from the screen andmove the pen.

• To start a program, double-tap the pen tip(tap the pen tip twice rapidly) on the programicon as you would double-click a mouse.

• To select an object, tap the pen tip on theobject once.

• To “double-click” an object, tap twice onthe object quickly.

• To move, or “drag”, an object on thescreen, place the pen tip directly over theobject, then as you hold the pen tip againstthe screen, move the pen.

CALIBRATING THE PENFor information about calibrating your pen, refer tothe literature that came with the operating system.

INSTALLING A PEN TETHERTo prevent dropping or losing your pen, youshould attach it to your system using the pentether. (Pen tether is not provided)To attach the pen tether to your Tablet PC,perform the following steps:1. Attach the end of the pen tether with the

clasp to your pen. To do so, push the end ofthe tether through the hole in the pen, thenthread the opposite end of the tether throughthe loop. (See Figure 2-4.)

NOTE:The figure may not be an exact pictorialrepresentation of the Pen Tether and yourTablet PC.

2. Attach the other end of the pen tether to theattachment point on your Tablet PC.

REPLACING THE PEN TIPWith use, the pen tip may become worn or maypick up foreign particles that can scratch thescreen. A damaged or worn tip may not movefreely, causing unpredictable results when usingthe pen. If your pen exhibits these problems, youshould replace the pen tip. You may use the pentip removal tool included with your pen.

To remove the tip, position the tip in the gapbetween the two ends of the tool. Pinch thetool together so that the tip is firmly clasped,then pull it from the barrel. If the tip is worn ordamaged, discard it.

To replace the tip, retrieve one of the new tipsthat accompanied your pen. Insert the flat endof the tip into the barrel and push it in firmlyuntil it is seated.

CHARGING THE BATTERYThe Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21 battery can becharged while it is installed in the Tablet PC.

To do so:

1. Connect a DC power source, such as the ACadapter, to the DC input connector on theTablet PC. The DC Input icon appears in theStatus display. If the battery charge is below90%, the battery begins charging and theCharging icon appears in the Status display.If the battery charge is 90% or higher whenyou connect DC power, the battery will notcharge, preventing battery overcharging.

2. Look at the Battery Gauge icon in the Statusdisplay to determine the percent of charge inthe battery. See “Status Display” in Chapter1 of this manual for a description of theBattery Gauge icon.

Also note the following with respect to chargingthe battery:• You can use the system, suspend system

operation, or shut down and turn off thesystem without interrupting the chargingprocess; however, using the system whilethe battery is charging will cause the batteryto charge at a slower rate, as noted in Table2-3, “Battery Charging Time".

• As noted in the procedure above, the systemwill not begin charging the battery if thebattery charge level is 90% or higher whenthe system is initially connected to externalDC power. (This prevents the battery frombeing overcharged.)

• The Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21 battery usesLithium ion battery cells which have no“memory effect.” You do not need todischarge the battery before you begincharging.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING THEBATTERYThe battery can be removed from the TabletPC and swapped with a charged battery. Thebattery can then be charged in an externalcharger if one is available. To remove thebattery from the Tablet PC:1. Choose one of the following:

• If a charged battery is available, you cansuspend system operation. A built-in“bridge” battery will maintain the system inSuspend-to-RAM mode for about 5minutes while the battery is removed; thisallows time for replacement with acharged battery.

Alb Active2 (17-28) 25/3/03, 12:01 PM24

Once the battery is installed, you can resumesystem operation or start and use your systemnormally.

TIPS FOR CONSERVING BATTERYPOWERYou can extend the charge life of your batteryby conserving battery power. (Your results mayvary depending on your application and howthe system is configured.) Here are somesuggestions to help you conserve batterypower:• Use an external power source such as the

AC adapter whenever the system is docked.• Suspend system operation if you know that

you won’t be using the system for a while.• Shut down the system if you won’t be using

the system for an extended period of time.• Use power management (available on the

desktop) to help you conserve powerautomatically.

• Battery life is dependent upon the operatingsystem, power settings, and applications inuse.

Operation of the Bridge Battery

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

The bridge battery is not designed for long-term operation. To maintain the bridge batteryproperly, observe the following measures:

Figure 2-2 Removing the Battery

• If a charged battery is not available, saveyour work and close all running programs,then shut down the system or Hibernate(Save-to-Disk).

• Plug in an external DC power source.2. Slide the battery release latch in the

direction indicated. (See Figure on page 24for location).

3. Pull the battery away from the system, asshown in the illustration and remove thebattery from the Tablet PC.

If you are using an external battery charger,refer to the instructions provided with thebattery charger.

To install the battery:

1. Orient the battery with the slides in theempty battery tray. Slide the battery into thetray and press it firmly until it is seated.When it is properly seated, the batteryrelease latch should return to position andlock the battery.

If you are replacing the battery, wait untilsystem operation is suspended and thepower icon is flashing before you removethe battery. Failure to do so could result inloss of your unsaved data. (Note that if theResume On LAN function is enabled in theBIOS setup, you should not remove thebattery unless the system is shut down.When Resume ON LAN is enabled, thebridge battery is disabled in order tooptimize battery life.)

The bridge battery function is disabledif Wake On LAN is enabled in the BIOS.The system arrives with the bridgebattery in a discharged state. Be sure tocharge it sufficiently before relying uponit to support the system in the event ofbattery removal.

Care and MaintenanceThis chapter gives you pointers on how to carefor and maintain your Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21 Tablet PC.

PROTECTING THE DISPLAY SCREENThe Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21 Tablet PC isdesigned to provide you with years of service.Using a screen protector will help ensure thatthe screen remains as clear as possible. Wheninstalled, the screen protector becomes adurable, replaceable writing surface thatprotects the display screen from abrasion.

To install a new screen protector on your Tablet PC:

1. If a screen protector is already installed onthe display screen, remove it before installingthe new screen protector.

The screen protector is held onto the displayscreen surface by a thin strip of adhesivearound the edges. A notch in one corner ofthe screen protector allows you to slide yourfingernail under the screen protector for easyremoval.

2. Clean the display by wiping the screengently using a soft cotton cloth dampenedwith isopropyl alcohol. Ensure that all residuehas been removed from the screen beforeapplying a new screen protector.

3. Remove the protective coating from theadhesive side of the screen protector first, asshown in Figure 3-1.

5. Apply pressure to the screen protector withyour finger using a continuous wiping motionalong the edges. The adhesive setscompletely within 48 hours. To ensure agood seal between the screen protector andthe display, do not lift the screen protectorfrom the display once it has been applied.

6. Remove the protective plastic cover from theface of the screen protector, as shown inFigure 3-3.

7. Clean any residue left behind by theprotective coating from the exposed surfaceof the screen protector by wiping gently witha soft cotton cloth dampened with isopropylalcohol. Wipe the screen protector with asoft dry cloth to remove any low-tackadhesive; this will help prevent the pen tipfrom squeaking.

The screen protector is now installed.

STORING THE TABLET PCStore the Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21 Tablet PCin the Off state with a fully charged batteryinstalled. You can store the Tablet PC in theOff state for about 30 days with a fully chargedbattery installed. After this period, the batteryshould be recharged or replaced with acharged battery.

If you intend to store the Tablet PC for a longerperiod of time, the small battery thatmaintains system time may need to bereplaced. Replacement of the clock batteryshould only be performed by authorizedtechnicians.

Figure 3-3 Installing the screen protector

AVOIDING OVERHEATINGThe Tablet PC monitors its internal temperature.As the internal temperature approaches thetolerable limits of heat-sensitive components,system functions are automatically limited orturned off to prevent damage.

To avoid overheating the Tablet PC, do notobstruct the air vents on the top and bottomedges of the Tablet PC.

CLEANING THE DISPLAY SCREENTo clean the Tablet PC display screen, wipe thescreen surface gently using a soft cotton clothslightly dampened with water or isopropylalcohol.

TROUBLESHOOTINGSolutions to some common problems aredescribed in the following sections. If you areexperiencing a problem with your Tablet PCthat you cannot solve by taking the actionsdescribed, contact your local help desk or yourreseller for further assistance.

System Will Not Resume Operation

If the system will not resume operation aftersystem operation has been suspended, checkthe following possible causes:

• The battery may either be defective, ordischarged to a critically low level. When thebattery reaches a critically low level, thesystem is forced into Suspend-to-RAM modeto avoid a total system power failure. Tocorrect this problem, either connect anexternal power supply (such as the ACadapter), or install a charged battery in theTablet PC.

• The system may be at the critical thermallimit. To avoid damage to heat-sensitivecomponents, the system enters Suspend-to-RAM mode when it gets too hot. Systemoperation cannot be resumed until the TabletPC cools off to a tolerable temperature.Move the Tablet PC to a cooler location.

The Fujitsu Stylistic ST4120/21 Tablet PCis not waterproof. Do not pour liquids onthe Tablet PC or wash the Tablet PC with aheavily soaked cloth.

BEFORE USING THIS DEVICEThank you for purchasing a Fujitsu ST4120/21Tablet PC with the Integrated Wireless LAN.This manual describes the basic operatingprocedures for the Wireless LAN (referred to asthe “device” in this manual) and how to set up awireless LAN network. Before using thisdevice, read this manual carefully to ensurecorrect operation of the device. Keep thismanual in a safe place for reference whileusing the device.

Characteristics of the DeviceThis device consists of a wireless LAN cardthat is attached to the computer via a mini-PCIslot.

The main characteristics are as follows:

• It uses the power saving communicationssystem in the 2.4 GHz band, and does notrequire any license for radio communication.

• It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum(DS-SS), which is resistant to noise.

• This device complies with Wi-Fi, and is ableto communicate at the maximum transferrate of 11 Mbps.

• The maximum communication range isapproximately 120 feet (36.5 meters) insidea building. The range may be shorterdepending upon the installation factors, suchas walls and columns.

• Unauthorized access can be prevented withthe use of SSID and encryption key.

Wireless LAN Modes Using this DeviceAdHoc ModeThe “AdHoc Mode” refers to the networkconnecting two computers using wireless LANcards. This connection is called an “AdHocnetwork.”

Using an AdHoc network, you can obtain anetwork connection easily and at a low cost.

In the AdHoc mode, you can use the functionsupported by Microsoft Network, such as File

and Print Sharing to exchange files and sharea printer or other peripheral devices.

To use the AdHoc Mode, you must set thesame SSID and the same encryption key for allthe computers that are connected. Allconnected computers can communicate witheach other within the communication range.

Infrastructure ModeIf a number of computers are connectedsimultaneously in the AdHoc mode, thetransfer rate may be reduced, communicationsmay become unstable, or the networkconnection could fail. This is because allwireless LAN cards are using the same radiofrequency in the network.

To improve this situation, you can use awireless LAN access point, which is soldseparately. The wireless LAN network is in the“Infrastructure mode” when it uses an accesspoint, and such a connection is called the“Infrastructure Network.”

By using an access point, you can set and usea different communication channel for eachnetwork group. Each channel is given adifferent radio frequency, and it eliminates thecollision of communications and provides amore stable communications environment.Infrastructure mode is most suitable when youare configuring multiple wireless LANnetworks on the same floor.

To connect a wireless LAN network to a wiredLAN, you need an access point.

How to Handle This DeviceThe optional Integrated Wireless LAN device isalready installed in Fujitsu ST4120/21 TabletPC computers that have been so configured.Under normal circumstances, it should not benecessary for you to remove or reinstall it. TheLAN has been configured to support theoperating system with which your systemshipped.

The On/Off switch located on the Wireless LANcover turns the device on and off. You shouldswitch the device off when it is not in use inorder to maximize battery life.

Possible Cause

No communicationdue to poor radiosignal.

Run the PINGcommand to checkthe connection

Possible Solution

Shorten the distance between computers orremove visible obstacles between them, and retrythe connection.

Perform the following steps to run the PINGcommand to check if the IP packet is correctlydelivered to the destination.

To run the PING command, the TCP/IP protocol mustbe installed. First you will determine your IP address,then you will make sure your IP address canrespond, and then you will make sure othercomputers can be addressed.

1. Windows XP: Click [Start] -> [All Programs] ->[Accessories] -> [Command Prompt].

2. Type: ipconfig > directory\filename where directory and filename represent the

location at which you want to store the IP address.

ABOUT IP ADDRESSESSetting IP AddressesIf you are not sure how to set the IP address,refer to the following procedure.

If you have an access point (DHCP server) onthe network, set the IP address as follows:

Windows XP: [Obtain an IP address automatically]

If the IP address is already assigned to thecomputer in the network, ask the networkadministrator to check the IP address to be set forthe computer.

A DHCP server is a server that automaticallyassigns IP addresses to computers or otherdevices in the network. There is no DHCPserver for the AdHoc network.

If no access point is found in the network:

An IP address is expressed with four values inthe range between 1 and 255.Set the each computer as follows: The value inparentheses is a subnet mask.

<Example>

Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0)

Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0)
