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: Your LifeBook 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.
Start Key
Application Key
Cursor Keys
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.

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: two
Start keys and an Application key. The two Start keys
display the Start menu. This button functions the same

TouchPad Pointing Device
The TouchPad pointing device is 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 and a left and
right 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,
and the more pressure you use, the faster the cursor will
move. 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. (Figure 2-11)
POINT
An external mouse can be connected to the USB port
on your LifeBook notebook, and be 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 your
BIOS settings.

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
LifeBook notebook or resuming from suspend 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 LifeBook
notebook resumes system operation. (Figure 2-19)
SETTING UP YOUR
LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANEL
When you receive your LifeBook notebook, the security
panel application is pre-installed without any passwords.
The following sections provide detailed information on
your security panel, and how to set, change or remove
passwords.

company to allow for system management. Individual
notebooks in a group environment should not use a
common password. A password consists of one to five
button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke
consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simultaneously. The following are valid button strokes:
n
Pushing [4] by itself
n
Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time
n
Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time
n
Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time
The following are valid passwords. The numbers
within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more
than one button.
n
{[2]+[3]}, [1], [enter]
n
[4], [enter]
n
{[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [enter]
Setting Passwords
When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set.
You have a choice of having no password or setting a
supervisor and user password. You must set the supervisor password before the user password.
POINTS
n
The purpose of supervisor password is to be able to
bypass the user password in case the user password
is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not
lock the system.
n
You have to set both the supervisor and user passwords for the security panel to work.
PASSWORDS
The user and supervisor password may be set on this
LifeBook notebook. A supervisor password is typically
the same for all notebooks in a working group, office, or
23
LifeBook E Series – Section 2
Setting Supervisor Password

any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass
the user password.
1. Go to the Start menu.
2. Click on Run.
3. Type in
"C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\
Security Panel Application\
Supervisor\FJSECS.EXE" (be sure to use
the quotation marks), then press [Enter]
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the
Supervisor password.
Setting User Password
1 Go to the Start menu.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Click on Security Panel Application > Security
Panel Application.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the
user password.
POINT
You may change or remove the supervisor or user
password by repeating the steps defined above.
OPERATING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY
APPLICATION PANEL
The security lock feature is in effect both when the system
resumes from OFF or suspend state. You always need to
push the Suspend /Resume button to input the user password. Your system will not begin the boot sequence
without entering your supervisor/user password.
From Off State
1. Turn on your system.
2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the
password and press Enter button.
For example, if the password is 22222,
Press Button Number 2 five times and press Enter
button.
The LifeBook notebook will boot to normal operation.
From Suspend State
1. Press your Suspend/Resume button.
2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the password and press Enter button.
The notebook should resume normal operation.
Incorrect Password Entry
If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three
times in succession, the system will “beep” for about one
minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute
(while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the LifeBook notebook will resume normal operation. If no
password or an invalid password is entered while the
system beeps, the system will return to its previous
locked state (suspend or off) and the Security Indicator
will go off. To reactivate the LifeBook notebook after a
password failure, you must press the Suspend/Resume
button, then enter a correct password.
POINT
Remember the user password you specified on the
Security Panel Application. If you forget the password
you will not be able to use your computer. The supervisor password can override the user password.
