Notice to Users of the US Telephone Network
Your Fujitsu LifeBook may be supplied with an internal modem which complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On this LifeBook 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 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.

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.

Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your Fujitsu LifeBook. 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 2-11)
P O I N T
An external mouse can be connected to either the USB or PS/2 port on your LifeBook 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. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for more information)
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)
