AUSTRALIAN WARNINGS

WARNING

FOR SAFETY REASONS, ONLY CONNECT EQUIPMENT WITH A TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPLIANCE LABEL. THIS INCLUDES CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT PREVIOUSLY LABELLED PERMITTED OR CERTIFIED.

Connection of Non Certified/Approved peripherals may result in the equipment operating outside the Australian EMI Standards.

Modems connected to the Australian telecommunications network must be operated in accordance with the Labelling Notice. This modem has been specifically configured to ensure compliance with the ACA Standards. Do not adjust your modem or software outside the values indicated below. To do so would result in your modem being operated in a non-compliant manner.

Call Attempts/Retries:

Applications software shall be configured so that no more than 3 attempts are made to establish a connection to a given number (Note: if the modem can detect service tones, up to 10 attempts can be made). If the call sequence is unsuccessful, there shall be a delay of at least 30 minutes before attempting to call the number again.

Failure to set the modem, and any application software used with the modem, to the values shown above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. Consequently, this would be in violation of the Labelling Notice for this equipment, and the Telecommunications Act 1997 prescribes penalties for the connection of non-compliant equipment.

NEW ZEALAND WARNINGS

The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecom’s network services.

This equipment is not capable under all operating conditions of correct operation at the higher speeds for which it is designed. 56 KBPS connections are likely to be restricted to lower bit rates when connected to some PSTN implementations. Telecom will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances.

Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.

This equipment shall not be used in any manner, which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom customers.

This equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the Telecom “111” Emergency Service.

This device is equipped with pulse dialing while the New Zealand standard is DTMF tone dialing. There is no guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialling. It is strongly recommended that pulse dialling is not used.

Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s Telepermit requirements are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom’s Specifications:

For repeat calls to the same number.

There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt.

For Automatic calls to different numbers.

The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 5 seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt.

For Automatically answered Incoming Calls

Incoming calls shall be answered between 3 and 30 seconds from the start of the ringing.

For correct operation, the total of the RNs of all devices connected to a single line at anytime should not exceed 5. The RN of this Equipment is 0.5.

WARNING Connection of Non Certified/Approved peripherals may result in the equipment operating

outside the New Zealand EMI Standards.

Note: Modem setting in Windows 98 / Windows Me

Quick Point IV

Quick Point IV is a convenient pointing device which enables you to control mouse pointer with the fingertip. It is composed of a stick located at the center, and two buttons located at the front of the keyboard.

The stick functions as a ball inside a mouse and moves the mouse pointer around on the screen - up, down, left and right as you press it lightly with your finger tip.

The upper button works as the left mouse button and the lower button as the right mouse button and the functions they perform vary depending on the application you are running.

Stick

SECTION 1

Upper button

Lower button

Critical Point

If you use a mouse that you purchased separately. If you choose to use a PS/2 mouse, it is required to make some settings such as simultaneous use with Quick Point IV in the Keyboard/Mouse Setup of the BIOS Setup Utility. The surface of the Stick Cap will become slippery after a long use. Replace an old cap with a new rubber cap supplied with the PC. New rubber cap is also available from Fujitsu.

How to use Quick Point IV

Controlling Stick

How to press buttons

• Clicking

• Double-Clicking

Mouse Pointer

Put your finger tip on the stick and press it up, down, left or right and the mouse pointer will move accordingly. Try to press the stick while confirming the mouse pointer movements on the screen. Note that the mouse pointer may move spontaneously but this should not be regarded as a failure. In this case, wait until the mouse pointer stops (about 3 seconds) before you move it.

Clicking means pressing the upper button once and releasing it immediately. Pushing the lower button once is the Right Clicking.

Double-Clicking means pressing the upper button twice in rapid succession and releasing it immediately.

• Dragging

Dragging means, while keeping the upper button depressed, moving the mouse pointer by pressing the stick to the desired location and releasing the button.

Critical Point

These button operations described above are the operations when [Right-handed] is selected in the [Mouse Property] dialog box. When you continue to move the mouse pointer slowly for several seconds while slanting the Quick Point IV Stick slightly, the mouse pointer may move the other way around, but this should not be regarded as a failure. In this case, wait until the mouse pointer stops.

Touch Panel (Only for Touch Panel Model)

The Touch Panel is a convenient pointing device which enables you to control the mouse pointer directly on the screen. Use the pen supplied with your PC to operate on the Touch Panel which is attached on the LCD display of the PC. Intuitive and speedy operation is possible by operating the mouse pointer directly on the screen.

SECTION 1

Take the pen out. (Store the pen here when it is not in use.)

Move the pen on the screen and then the mouse pointer moves accordingly.

Critical Point

Do not use anything with a sharp point to operate on the Touch Panel.

- You can use your fingertip to operate on the Touch Panel as well.

- Avoid using anything with a sharp point such as a ball point pen or a pencil or it may damage the display.

- When you use the pen on the Touch Panel, be careful not to touch on it with your fingers. If your finger touches on the panel, the mouse pointer will move accordingly.

If the pen is damaged or lost, you should purchase new one.

How to use Touch Panel

• Clicking

Touch once on the screen lightly and release the pen immediately.

• Double-Clicking

Touch twice in rapid succession on the screen and release the pen immediately.

• Dragging

While pushing the pen lightly on the screen and draw it.

Critical Point

Other operations The following operations can be performed on Touch Panel. Use Quick Point IV for the others:
