USING THE KEYBOARD
Your LifeBook notebook has an integral 83-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. (Figure 2-11)
■
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.

Quick Point Pointing Device
The Quick Point is built into your LifeBook notebook. It
is used to control the movement of the cursor to select
items on your display panel. The Quick Point is
composed of a cursor control at the center of the
keyboard and two buttons on the palm rest of your
notebook. The cursor control works the same way a
mouse ball does, and moves the cursor around the
display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of
your finger, and the more pressure you use, the faster the
cursor will move. The upper button functions the same
as a left mouse button while the lower button has the
same function as a right mouse button. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the
application that is being used. (Figure 2-12)

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 2-20)
