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 three 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 left button functions the same as a
left mouse button while the right button has the same
function as a right mouse button. When used with the
cursor control, the middle button allows you to scroll up
and down a screen. The actual functionality of the
buttons may vary depending on the application that is
being used. (Figure 2-12)
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To leftclick, 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 cursor to the item you wish
to select, press the bottom button once, and then immediately release it. (Figure 2-13)

DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left

CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The Windows Control Panel allows you to customize
your Quick Point with selections made from within the
Mouse Properties dialog box. There are three aspects of
Quick Point operation, which you can adjust:
n
Buttons: This tab lets you set up the buttons for right
or left handed operation, in addition to setting up the
time interval allowed between clicks in doubleclicking.
n
Pointers: This tab lets you set up the scheme for
the cursor depending on its functionality.

Motion: This tab lets you set up a relation between
the speed of your finger motion and the speed of the
cursor. It also allows you to enable a Pointer Trail for
the cursor arrow.

The integrated Touch Screen allows you to use either the
included stylus or your fingertip, as a pointing device.
You can use the stylus to click, double-click, drag items
and icons, or to draw like a pen or pencil in applications
that support this behavior, such as drawing or painting
programs. See the documentation that came with your
application for details. (Figure 2-16)
Clicking
To left-click, touch the object you wish to select and then
lift the stylus tip immediately. You also have the option
to perform the left-click operation by tapping lightly
with your finger on the Touch Screen once. (Figure 2-17)
To right-click, go to Start --> Programs --> Fujitsu
Touch Panel. From that window, you can specify a right
button tool by using the Touch Panel Configuration
Control button prior to the desired right mouse click. It
can be used two ways: by holding down the key or by
pressing the key once.

Double-Clicking
To double-click, touch the item twice, and then immediately remove the stylus tip. You also have the option to

Right-clicking
It is possible for you to perform right-click functions
with the stylus.
1. Click Start --> Programs (or All Programs, in

screen.
4. Repeat step 3 until you have selected a total of twelve
symbols. This is the minimum number of points
necessary to calibrate your touch screen.
5. Once you have selected the twelve symbols, press the
[ENTER] key.
POINT
If you receive an error message at this point, you
selected fewer than twelve symbols. Click OK and begin
again at Step 2.
6. Touch the stylus to various points on the screen to
verify that the screen is correctly calibrated. If you
are satisfied with the screen’s calibration, press the
[ENTER] key. If you are not satisfied, press the
[HOME] key to begin again at Step 2.
When you select “Hold [Ctrl]...”, the stylus will act
as a right mouse button when you hold down the
control key while touching the screen.
When you select “Press [Ctrl]...”, the stylus will act
as a right mouse button when you press the control
key before touching the screen.
3. Click Apply to complete your selection.
Calibrating the Touch Screen
In order to ensure accurate tracking between the stylus
and cursor, you must run the Touch Screen Calibration
Utility before you use the Touch Screen for the first time,
or after you change the display resolution.
To run the calibration utility:
1. On the Start menu, point to Programs (or All
Programs, in Windows XP). Point to Fujitsu Touch
Panel/Compensation Tool. This will open the
Compensation Tool.
2. Adjust the display of your notebook to a comfortable
angle and find the red + symbol in the upper-left
corner of the display.
3. Using the stylus, touch the screen near the + symbol
and without lifting the tip, move the stylus to the
center of the symbol. Once the stylus tip is in the
center of the symbol, lift it off the Touch Screen.
This will cause the red + to disappear from the

Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.
POINT
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.
POINT
There are seventeen 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.
