Your LIFEBOOK T...
... is a convertible notebook which works just as well and reliably as a notebook as it does as a tablet PC. You can put the convertible notebook on the table as a notebook or hold it in your hands as a tablet PC. Use the keyboard to type or write directly on the display with the pen. The convertible notebook is always there to support you when you are working on the move.
Your operating system is pre-installed on the hard disk to facilitate the procedure when you use your notebook for the first time. In addition to the well-known Windows functionality, this operating system also has handwriting recognition as well as other settings that are specific for its use as a Tablet PC.
Depending on the model, your notebook may be equipped with the new technology "Turbo Memory" from Intel®. The additional memory guarantees that your notebook will provide faster loading times (system start-up) and lower power consumption. This memory can be configured using the User Interface from Intel®.
If you connect the notebook to a port replicator (which is available to order as an optional accessory) you can enjoy the benefits of a number of additional connection options. The port replicator provides you with LAN and monitor ports (analogue and digital) and HDMI connection, as well as four USB 2.0 interfaces. Here you can connect peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard, or mouse.
Your notebook has a number of security functions to ensure that no unauthorised persons can access your data. This allows you, for example, to protect access to your data using the security functions in the BIOS Setup.
This operating manual shows you how to start using your notebook and how to operate it in daily use.
Further information on this device is provided:
● in the "Safety" manual
● in the documentation of the operating system
● in the information files (e.g. *.TXT, *.DOC, *.WRI, *.HLP, *.PDF, *.HTML)
Some of the manuals listed can be found on the "Drivers & Utilities" CD/DVD and on the
i
Internet at: http://ts.fujitsu.com/support. You can access and view the required information using the Acrobat Reader program, which is also on the CD/DVD. If necessary, you can also make a print version of the manual.

Notes about the LCD screen
High-quality TFT displays with especially bright background lighting are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH. For technical reasons, TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture can only be ensured with the correct resolution intended for the relevant TFT monitor. A monitor resolution which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.
The monitor resolution is understood to be the number of horizontal and vertical pixels (i.e. picture elements) which make up the monitor display. For example, "UXGA" stands for 1600 x 1200 pixels. Each pixel consists of three so-called subpixels of the colours red, green and blue. As a result, a UXGA monitor consists of 1600 x 1200 x 3 = 5.760.000 subpixels.
Frequently used monitor resolutions Number of pixels
XGA 1024 x 768 WSXGA (Wide SXGA) 1280 x 768 WXGA 1280 x 800 SXGA 1280 x 1024 HD 1366 x 768 SXGA+ 1400 x 1050 UXGA 1600 x 1200 WUXGA 1920 x 1200
The correct screen resolution for your notebook is specified in the corresponding section in the chapter "
Permanently unlit or lit pixels
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A few isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of pixel faults is stipulated in the strict international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
Technical data".
Example:
A 15" LCD screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 = 786432 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 2.4 million
subpixels in total. According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and 5 subpixels
may be defective, i.e. a total of 17 faulty subpixels. That is approx. 0.0007% of the entire
number of subpixels.
Pixel A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, normally red, green and blue. A
pixel is the smallest element that can be generated by complete functionality of the display.

● Do not gesture with the pen.
● Do not use the pen as a pointer.
● Never use the pen on any other surface than the screen of your notebook.
● Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen. The thumb grip is used to place the pen
in its slot and to take it out of the slot.
● Never store the pen with the tip bearing the weight of the pen (e.g., sitting tip down in a pencil cup). If the pen is stored with the tip pointing down, this may have an adverse effect on the pen mechanism (particularly under high temperatures). In this case the pen tip may react as though it is constantly being pressed down. To avoid damage, the pen should be stored in the pen garage when not in use.
The pen can be influenced by electromagnetic fields (cursor quivers or jumps). There may be a few areas on the screen where the cursor quivers slightly in spite of pressing the pen down firmly.
With the pen you can run all functions for which you otherwise use a mouse. In addition, you can very conveniently delete hand-written pen entries using the pen.
Select menu entries (click with the left mouse button)
► Touch the menu entry with the pen tip.
Start programs (double-click with the left mouse button)
► Briefly touch the program symbol twice consecutively with the pen tip.
Move objects/windows (drag with left mouse button pressed)
► Place the pen tip directly on the object/window, hold the pen tip pressed against the screen and
move the desired object/window.
Open context menu (click with the right mouse button)
► Touch the desired element with the stylus and leave the stylus on the element for a moment.
