Keyboard
USING THE KEYBOARD
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has an integral 87-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys.
■Numeric keypad
■Cursor keys
■Function keys
■Windows keys
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.
P O I N T
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.
WINDOWS KEYS
Your LifeBook notebook has three Windows keys, consisting of two Start keys and an Application key. The two Start keys display the Start menu. This button functions the same as your on-screen 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.)
CURSOR KEYS
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up, down, left, or right).

L i f e B o o k C S e r i e s N o t e b o o k – S e c t i o n T w o
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 documentation to find out how these keys are used.
The [Fn] key provides extended functions for the LifeBook notebook and is always used in conjunction with another key.
■[Fn+F3]: Pressing [F3] while holding [Fn] will toggle the Audio Mute on and off.
■[Fn+F4]: Pressing [F4] while holding down [Fn] allows you to toggle between an internal mouse (touchpad) and an external mouse (PS/2-type).
■[Fn+F5]: Pressing [F5] while holding [Fn] allows you to toggle between video compensation and no compensation. (Video compensation controls spacing on the display. When it is enabled, displays with less than 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600 pixel resolution will still cover the entire screen.)
■[Fn+F6]: Pressing [F6] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will lower the brightness of your display.
■[Fn+F7]: Pressing [F7] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the brightness of the display.
■[Fn+F10]: Pressing [F10] while holding [Fn] allows you to change your selection of where to send your display video. Each time you press the combination of keys you will step to the next choice. The choices, in order, are: built-in display panel only, both built-in display panel and external monitor or external monitor only.

V o l u m e C o n t r o l
Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.
P O I N T
Any software that contains audio files will also contain a volume control of its own. Both the main LifeBook notebook volume control and the software volume control will interact with each other, but it should be noted that if you set your software volume to Off, you will override the main volume control setting and the software setting will control the maximum knob setting.
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME
There is the hardware volume control located on the LifeBook notebook itself, and the volume control set from within the Volume Control on the Taskbar. In addition to those, there are also application volume controls that are set individually within each program.
Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources. For example:
■Your hardware volume control is all the way down, therefore your individual software application’s volume control has no effect on the volume.
We recommend that you use the hardware volume controls to set the upper limit for the sound level and then make fine adjustments with the Volume Control on the Taskbar and individual application software.
SETTING THE HARDWARE
VOLUME CONTROL
1.Turn the volume control knob to the right (i.e., towards the back of your LifeBook) to increase the volume.
2.Turn the volume control knob to the left (i.e., towards the front of your LifeBook) to decrease the volume. (See figure 2-5 on page 10 for location)

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. When you press the center of the scrolling button (the “i-scroller”), the LifeBook Application Panel is launched. (Figure 2-11)
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish
to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad once. (Figure 2-12)
Figure 2-12 Clicking
DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button twice, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.
(Figure 2-13)

P O I N T S
■If the interval between clicks is too long, the double-click will not be executed.
■Parameters for the Touchpad can be adjusted from the Mouse Properties dialog box located in the Windows Control Panel.
DRAGGING
Dragging means pressing and holding the left button, while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its new location and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger across the Touchpad, and then release your finger. (Figure 2-14)
Figure 2-14 Dragging
SCROLLING
Using the Scrolling button allows you to navigate through a document quickly without using the window’s scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navigating through on-line pages. To use the Scrolling button, press the crescent shape at the top or bottom of the button to scroll up or down a page. When you have reached the desired section of the page, release the button. (Figure 2-15)

LifeBook
Application Panel
A unique feature of your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook is the LifeBook Application Panel. This panel allows you to operate the media player drive either as an independent audio media player or to launch applications with the touch of one button.
P O I N T S
■LifeBook Application Panel uses the date and time settings of your LifeBook notebook. If the date and time are incorrect, you can adjust this setting in the Windows Control Panel.
■The media player that your LifeBook notebook uses is determined by the configuration of your system.
Your LifeBook notebook is pre-installed with software utilities that let you operate and configure your LifeBook Application Panel. These utilities are found under the Start menu, under Programs, then under LifeBook Application Panel. They include a media player, Application Panel Setup, Application Panel Guide, Activate Panel and Deactivate Panel. The LifeBook Application Panel system makes your LifeBook notebook more than just another notebook computer.
The panel consists of the following elements:
SELECTOR SWITCH
Located at the far left of the panel, this switch allows you to select the function of the panel—either as an Application Launcher, a media player, or as a lock. Set the switch to the middle position when the Application Launcher buttons are not being used.
APPLICATION LAUNCH
MEDIA PLAYER BUTTONS
When the selector switch is in the Application position, pressing any of the buttons will launch a user-defined application. When the selector switch is in the Media Player position, the buttons operate the media player, and when the selector switch is in the Lock position, the buttons are disabled and do nothing when pressed.
CONFIGURING YOUR LIFEBOOK APPLICATION PANEL
When you start your system, the LifeBook Application Panel is automatically activated. An icon resembling a finger pressing a button will appear on the system tray (the indented portion of the status bar where the clock is displayed). When you see this icon you will know that the LifeBook Application Panel is active.
As an application launcher, the LifeBook Application Panel is very flexible, giving you a variety of options. To set up the Panel to best suit your needs, we have provided the Application Panel Setup utility that quickly and easily helps you make the most of this valuable feature.
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with Application Panel Setup:
1.Click on Start.
2.Click on Programs.
3.Click on LifeBook Application Panel.
4.Click on Application Panel Setup.
The Application Panel Setup utility will appear. There are tabs that correspond to the application buttons on the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your LifeBook notebook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch specific programs. (See Specifications on page 91 for more information).
20
B5FH-5971.book Page 21 Thursday, May 23, 2002 4:13 PM
P O I N T
The tabs in Application Panel Setup may not be in the same order as the buttons on your LifeBook notebook. Please select the tab you wish to change carefully.
To change an application associated with one of the buttons, click on the tab for the button you would like to reconfigure. Click on Browse from the Start Menu, scroll down the list of applications, click on the application you wish to launch with this button, and then click OK. The button will now launch the new application.
One of the buttons may be preconfigured to launch your default Internet browser. In order to reconfigure it to launch a different program, follow these easy steps:
1.Click on Other from the Internet browser box.
2.Click on Browse from Start Menu.
3.Scroll down the list of applications, and click on the application you wish to launch with this button.
4.Click OK.
The button will now launch the new application. If you want to return to launching your default Internet browser with this button, you need only click on “Default Internet Browser” from the Internet browser box. Be aware that you will erase the settings for the “other application”. If you wish to go back to launching the “other application” from this button, you will need to reconfigure it as described above.
At the bottom of each application setup page are two selectable options. The first will enable/disable the button when your LifeBook notebook is in Standby mode, and the second will enable/disable the button when your LifeBook notebook is in the pseudo-off state. You can enable/ disable either or both of these functions simply by clicking on the option.
P O I N T
If you choose to have the buttons work when the LifeBook notebook is in standby, they will function even if hit accidentally, and will turn on your LifeBook notebook even if you are not present or using your LifeBook notebook. This could deplete your battery, and you will need to recharge it before using the LifeBook notebook. As a precaution, move the selector switch to the Lock position when you are away from your LifeBook notebook.
L i f e B o o k A p p l i c a t i o n P a n e l
When you have finished with Application Panel Setup, click on OK, and the new settings will take effect. You can reconfigure your LifeBook Application Panel as often as you like.
USING THE MEDIA PLAYER
The media player enables you to use your LifeBook notebook’s media player drive as an audio media player.
P O I N T S
■If you shut down from Windows while the media player is playing an audio CD, it will stop.
■You cannot go into Suspend Mode or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Mode while the media player is playing a CD.
■The media player will only play when the system is powered on.
There is no configuration required for media player operation. The buttons are pre-configured to work like a normal media player. When the selector switch is in the bottom position, the buttons will operate as follows:
■Stop/Eject: This is the first button to the right of the Selector switch. If you press it once, it will stop an audio CD that is playing. If you press it twice, it will eject the audio CD.
■Play/Pause: This is the second button to the right of the Selector switch. Press this button to start playing an audio CD starting at Track 1. While the audio CD is playing, press it to pause. Press it again to continue.
P O I N T S
■If you press the play button and nothing happens, you either have the Selector switch set to the Application or Lock position, there is no audio CD in the media player drive, you have a CD other than an audio CD in the drive, or system is not powered on.
■Because of the Windows CD auto-insertion function, audio CDs will start playing immediately after they are inserted if your LifeBook notebook is On. This will not happen if you are using the media player in Suspend or Pseudo-off modes.
■Fast Backward: This is the third button to the right of
the Selector switch. Press this button once to skip one track back.
■Fast Forward: This is the fourth button to the right of the Selector switch. Press this button once to skip forward one track.
