Touchpad Pointing Device

Certain E8000 LifeBook notebooks are
equipped with an optional “Quick Point”
button for moving the cursor. For more
information about Quick Point, see
“Optional Quick Point Feature” on
page 17.

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. (Figure 2-12)

An external mouse can be connected to
either the USB or PS/2 ports on your Life­Book notebook or the optional 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

Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.

Any software that contains audio files will
also contain a volume control of its own. If
you install an external audio device that
has an independent volume control, the
hardware volume control and the software
volume control will interact with each
other. It should be noted that if you set
your software volume to Off, you will
override the external volume control
setting.

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

■

Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on
the Taskbar.

■

Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 func­tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]

will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing
[F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the
volume of your notebook.

There are 26 levels through which the
function keys cycle.

■

Volume can be controlled by many volume controls
that are set within individual applications.

■

Certain external audio devices you might connect to
your system may have hardware volume controls.

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the

volume level that must then be followed by the other

sources.

We recommend that you experiment with the various

volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

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
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
notebook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch
specific programs, as referenced in Chapter 7 of this
document.

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.
