Volume Control
Your LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls
which interact with each other.
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 using the volume dial above the
keyboard on the right-hand side. (See Figure 2-8 on
page 14 for location).
■
Volume can be set from within the Volume Control
Properties which are located either in the system tray
or from Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices in the
Control Panel.
■
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.

Figure 2-10. Touchpad Pointing Device 12Cursor Control
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, a left and
right button, and an up-and-down scroll 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. The upand down scroll buttons allow you to quickly navigate
up and down a screen. (Figure 2-10)
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.
