FCC Notices
Notice to Users of Radios and Television
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
■
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
■
Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
■
Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a
different circuit than the receiver.
■
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Shielded interconnect cables must be employed with this

emission limits governing this device.
Notice to Users of the US Telephone Network
Your LifeBook notebook may be supplied with an
internal modem which complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules. On this notebook is a label that contains the FCC
Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) for this equipment among other information. If requested, the user must provide their telephone company with the following information:
1. The telephone number to which the LifeBook notebook is connected.
2. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for
this equipment.
3. That the equipment requires a standard
modular jack type USOC RJ-11C which is FCC
Part 68 compliant.
4. The FCC Registration Number.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a standard
modular jack type USOC RJ-11C which is FCC Part 68
compliant and a line cord between the modem and the
telephone network with a minimum of 26AWG.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices
that you may connect to your telephone line and still
have all of those devices ring when your number is
called. Too many devices on one line may result in
failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most
but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all of the
devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of
the number of devices you may connect to your line,
as determined by the RENs, contact your local
telephone company.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network,
your telephone company may discontinue your service
temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance.
If advance notice is not practical they will notify you as
soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC.
This fax modem also complies with fax branding
requirements per FCC Part 68.
Your telephone company will probably ask you to
disconnect this equipment from the telephone network
until the problem is corrected and you are sure that the
equipment is not malfunctioning. This equipment may
not be used on coin-operated telephones provided by
your telephone company. Connection to party lines is
subject to state tariffs. Contact your state’s public utility
commission, public service commission or corporation
commission for more information.
This equipment includes automatic dialing capability.
When programming and/or making test calls to
emergency numbers:
■
Remain on the line and briefly explain to the
dispatcher the reason for the call.
■
Perform such activities in off-peak hours, such
as early morning or late evening.
FCC rules prohibit the use of non-hearing aid compatible
telephones in the following locations or applications:
■
All public or semipublic coin-operated or credit
card telephones.
■
Elevators, highways, tunnels (automobile, subway,
railroad or pedestrian) where a person with impaired
hearing might be isolated in an emergency.
■
Places where telephones are specifically installed to
alert emergency authorities such as fire, police or
medical assistance personnel.
■
Hospital rooms, residential health care facilities,
convalescent homes and prisons.
■
Workstations for the hearing impaired.
■
Hotel, motel or apartment lobbies.
■
Stores where telephones are used by patrons to
order merchandise.
■
Public transportation terminals where telephones are
used to call taxis or to reserve lodging or rental cars.
■
In hotel and motel rooms as at least ten percent of the
rooms must contain hearing aid compatible telephones or jacks for plug-in hearing aid compatible
telephones which will be provided to hearing impaired
customers on request.

other special function keys. This section describes the
following keys. (Figure 2-13)
■
Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to
serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and
as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to toggle between the standard character and numerical keys
is controlled through the [NumLk] key.
■
Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow
keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the
right, left, up, or down within windows, applications
and documents.
■
Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12],
are used in conjunction with the [FN] key to produce
special actions that vary depending on what program
is running.
■
Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows
operating system and function the same as the

onscreen Start menu button, or the right button
on your pointing device.
NUMERIC KEYPAD
Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as
both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys.
NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys.
Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way.
Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0
through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ),
multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal
points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function
keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the
front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.
(Figure 2-13)
POINT
If you are using the optional external numerical keypad,
pressing the [NumLk] key will activate the external keypad. The indicator will come on, however it will not
change any of the functionality of your keyboard keys.

Getting to Know Your LifeBook
WINDOWS KEYS
Your LifeBook notebook has two Windows keys,
consisting of a Start key and an Application key. The
Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions
the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The
Application key functions the same as your right mouse
button and displays shortcut menus for the selected
item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for
additional information regarding the Windows keys.)

right in applications. In programs such as Windows
Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up,
down, left, or right). (Figure 2-13)
FUNCTION KEYS
Your LifeBook notebook has 12 function keys, F1
through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ
for each application. You should refer to your software
docu-mentation to find out how these keys are used.

Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your
Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the
movement of the pointer to select items on your display
panel. The Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, a
left and right button, and a scrolling button. The cursor
control works the same way a mouse does, and moves
the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of your finger. The left and right
buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The actual
functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the
application that is being used. The scrolling button
allows you to navigate quickly through pages, without
having to use the scroll bars. (Figure 2-14)
POINT
An external mouse can be connected to either the USB
or PS/2 port on your LifeBook notebook or port replicator, and used simultaneously with the Touchpad. However, if you boot the system with an external mouse
connected the Touchpad will be disabled or enabled
depending on the specifications in your BIOS settings.
