Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.

Any software that contains audio files will
also contain a volume control of its own. If
you install an external audio device that
has an independent volume control, the
hardware volume control and the software
volume control will interact with each
other. Note that if you set your software
volume to Off, you will override the
external volume control setting.

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

■

Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on
the Taskbar.

■

Volume can be controlled from the Control Panel by
selecting the Sounds and Audio Devices icon. Select
the Volume tab and move the slider bar to the desired
volume level.

■

Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 function
keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will
decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [F9]
repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume
of your notebook. Volume can be controlled by many
volume controls that are set within individual applica­tions.

■

Certain external audio devices you might connect to
your system may have hardware volume controls.

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the
volume level that must then be followed by the other
sources.

We recommend that you experiment with the various
volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

LifeBook Security/
Application Panel

A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the Secu­rity/Application Panel that allows you to secure your
notebook from unauthorized use. The Security/Applica­tion Panel also allows you to launch applications with the
touch of a button when your system is on.

If the security system is activated, upon starting your
notebook or resuming from Standby mode the security
system requires you to enter a password code using the
buttons on the Security/Application Panel. After
entering a correct password, your notebook resumes
system operation. (Figure 2-22)

NOTE: The functions of the buttons vary,
depending upon whether you have
Microsoft Windows® XP Professional or
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition pre­installed. Systems with Windows XP Tablet
PC Edition installed have additional
functions, as detailed in the tables on the
foillowing page.

SETTING UP YOUR SECURITY PANEL

When you receive your LifeBook notebook, the security
panel application is pre-installed without any pass­words. The following sections provide detailed informa­tion on your security panel, how to set, change or
remove passwords.

Numbered Buttons

Use these buttons to enter your password.

Enter Button

After entering the button strokes, push this button to
enter the password into the LifeBook notebook.

PASSWORDS

The user and supervisor password may be set on this
notebook. A supervisor password is typically the same
for all LifeBook notebooks in a working group, office, or
company to allow for system management. Individual
notebooks in a group environment should not use a
common password. A password consists of one to five
button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke
consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta­neously. The following are valid button strokes:

■

Pushing [4] by itself

■

Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time

■

Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time

■

Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time

The following are valid passwords. The numbers
within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more
than one button.

■

{[2]+[3]}, [1], [enter]

■

[4], [enter]

■

{[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [enter]

Setting Passwords

When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set.
You have a choice of having no password or setting a
supervisor and user password. You must set the super-

visor password before the user password.

■

The purpose of supervisor password is to
be able to bypass the user password in
case the user password is forgotten. The
supervisor password alone will not lock
the system.

■

You have to set both the supervisor and
user passwords for the security panel to
work.
