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

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.

BOOT SEQUENCE
The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed
the Boot sequence and involves your notebook’s BIOS.
When your LifeBook notebook is first turned on, the
main system memory is empty, and it needs to find
instructions to start up your notebook. This information
is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or
restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence
which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system
is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing
a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test
(POST). When the boot sequence is completed without
a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup
Utility, the system displays the operating system’s
opening screen.
The boot sequence is executed when:
■
You turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook.
■
You restart your notebook from the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
■
The software initiates a system restart. Example:
When you install a new application.
■
You reset the system by pressing the three keys
[CTRL+ALT+DEL].

Power Management
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has many options and
features for conserving battery power. Some of these
features are automatic and need no user intervention,
such as those for the internal modem. However, others
depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your notebook
Besides the options available for conserving battery
power, there are also some things that you can do to
prevent your battery from running down as quickly.
For example, you can create an appropriate power saving
profile, put your notebook into Suspend mode when it
is not performing an operation, and you can limit the
use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery
powered computers, there is a trade-off between
performance and power savings.

Standby or Hibernation modes. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled.
n
If your LifeBook notebook is actively accessing
information when you enter the Standby or Hibernation modes, changes to open files are not lost.
The files are left open and memory is kept active
during Standby mode or the memory is transferred
to the internal hard drive during Hibernation mode.
CAUTION
The Standby or Hibernation modes should not be used
with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information.
When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hibernation mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be reinitialized when the system restarts.
HIBERNATION MODE
The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your
LifeBook notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as
a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or

Lithium ion Battery
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion
battery that provides power for operating your notebook
when no external power source is available. The battery
is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to
extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other
hazards.
The Lithium ion battery operating time may become
shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
■
When used at temperatures that exceeds a low of 5°C
(41°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme temperatures
not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause
battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status
Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a
battery that is outside its operating temperature range.
(See Battery Charging Indicator on page 12 for more
information)
■
When using a high current device such as a modem,
external DVD/CD-RW drive, or the hard drive, using
the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.
POINTS
■
Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer
preferences. The battery charging capacity is reduced
as the battery ages. If your battery is running low
quickly, you should replace it with a new one.
■
Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to
dispose of batteries by putting them in the trash.
Please take care of our environment and dispose of
batteries properly. Check with your local government
authority for details regarding recycling or disposing
of old batteries. If you cannot find this information
elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487)
CAUTION
Do not leave a faulty battery in your LifeBook
notebook. It may damage your AC adapter, optional
Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your notebook
itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook
by draining all available current into the bad battery.
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
If you want to know the condition of the primary
Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator
located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator
changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using
the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the
battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged
is installed in your LifeBook notebook and connect the
AC or Auto/Airline adapter.
POINT
Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the
percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon
on the Status Indicator Panel.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery
therefore you do not need to discharge the battery
completely before recharging. The charge times will be
significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the
battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery
more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode,
or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.
(See Power Management on page 26 for more information
on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure)
POINT
Using heavy current devices such as a modem will increase
charging time significantly.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to the
low battery message, the batteries will continue to
discharge until they are too low to operate. When this
happens, your notebook will go into Suspend mode.
There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once
the notebook reaches this point.
CAUTIONS
■
Once the low battery notification message appears,
you need to save all your active data and put your
LifeBook notebook into Suspend mode until you can
provide a new power source. You should plug in an
AC power adapter or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as
possible. If you put the system into Suspend mode
and attempt to change the battery without providing
power through an adapter, you will lose any data that
has not been saved.
■
When you are in Suspend mode there must always
be at least one power source active. If you turn off
the power with the power switch, or remove all
power sources while your LifeBook notebook is in
Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to
the hard drive will be lost.

B5FH-4881-01EN-00.book Page 32 Thursday, January 17, 2002 10:43 AM
LifeBook P Series – Section Four
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your
notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will
be unable to resume operation until you provide a
source of power from an adapter. Note that there is no
bridge battery in the system, so unless you use an
adapter, you will lose any unsaved data.
Once you have provided power, you will need to press
the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. Once
you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.
Damaged Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the
battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display
the operating level available in that battery. (See figure 2-
10 on page 11) If this display shows a Damaged Battery, it
means that the battery must be replaced so it does not
damage any other parts of your LifeBook notebook.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have
a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, coldswapping and warm-swapping. Cold-swapping means
changing the battery when the system is completely
powered down; warm-swapping means changing the
battery while the system is being powered with another
method, such as an AC Adapter.
Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these
easy steps: (Figure 4-1)
1. Have a charged battery ready to install.
2. Shut down your notebook.
3. Slide the battery bay release buttons to open the bay.
4. Remove the battery from the bay.
5. Slide the new battery into the bay; the release
buttons will automatically snap into place.

POWER ON SELF TEST MESSAGES
The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-status
messages that the Phoenix BIOS and/or your operating
system can generate and an explanation of each message.
Error messages are marked with an *. If an error message
is displayed that is not in this list, write it down and
check your operating system documentation both on
screen and in the manual. If you can find no reference
to the message and its meaning is not clear, contact
your support representative for assistance.
nnnn Cache SRAM Passed
Where nnnn is the amount of system cache in kilobytes
success-fully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This can
only appear if you have an SRAM PC Card installed.)
*Diskette drive A error or Diskette drive B error
Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS Power On Self
Test diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined
with the proper diskette type in the Setup Utility, (See
BIOS Setup Utility on page 23 for more information) and
that the diskette drive is installed correctly. If the disk
drive is properly defined and installed, avoid using it and
contact your support representative.
*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn
Extended memory not working or not configured properly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module,
verify that the module is properly installed. If it is properly installed, you may want to check your Windows
Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory
until you can contact your support representative.
nnnn Extended RAM Passed
Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes
successfully tested.
*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn
This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in
System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the
memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed
bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data
if you continue. Contact your support representative.
*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller
Failure (where x = 1-4)
The fixed disk is not working or not configured properly.
This may mean that the hard drive type identified in
your setup utility does not agree with the type detected
by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to check
for the hard drive type settings and correct them if
necessary. If the settings are OK and the message appears
when you restart the system, there may be a serious fault
which might cause you to lose data if you continue.
Contact your support representative.
*Incorrect Drive A type – run SETUP
Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup.
This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in
your setup utility does not agree with the type detected
by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to
correct the inconsistency.
*Incorrect Drive B type – run SETUP
Type of floppy drive B: not correctly identified in Setup.
This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in
your setup utility does not agree with the type detected

MODEM RESULT CODES
The operating system and application software that is
factory installed detects the modem characteristics and
provides the necessary command strings to operate the
modem. The internal modem operation is controlled by
generic AT commands from the operating system and
application software. The standard long form result
codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to
keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The
operating system and application software may suppress
display of the result codes.
Examples of result codes are:
■
OK
■
NO CARRIER
■
NO DIALTONE
■
CONNECT 53000 (Connection complete
at 53,000 bps.)
■
ERROR
■
FAX
■
RING (This means an incoming call.)
■
BUSY
■
NO ANSWER
When using the internal modem with applications
that are not factory installed refer to the
application documentation.
*System CMOS checksum bad – run SETUP
BIOS CMOS RAM has been corrupted or modified
incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that
changes data stored in BIOS memory. Run Setup and
reconfigure the system.
*System RAM Failed at offset: nnnn
System memory failed at offset nnnn of in the 64k block
at which the error was detected. This means that there is
a fault in your built-in memory. If you continue to
operate, you risk corrupting your data. Contact your
support representative for repairs.

Troubleshooting
Restoring Your
Pre-installed Software
Your system has been loaded with a valuable utility that
allows you to restore your LifeBook notebook disk drive
contents as they were originally shipped from the
factory. Most often this is necessary if files or software
programs (only those files/programs that came preinstalled) become corrupt or accidentally erased.
DRIVE IMAGE® SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)
PowerQuest® Drive Image Special Edition (DISE)
provides a way to restore your computer if you experience a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu has
used DISE to create an image of everything that was
installed on the computer at the time you purchased it.
The image is saved on a separate partition on the hard
disk. You can use DISE to restore the factory image and
return your computer to the state in which it shipped
from Fujitsu.
Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store
an additional image file that you create. For example, if
you install several applications and save data files on
your hard disk, you can create a new image file that
includes them and then save that image file on the hard
disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can
restore the image that includes the applications and data
files you use.
Fujitsu recommends that you create a DISE disk as a
backup disk. If your computer fails, you can boot and
run DISE from the backup disk.
POINT
Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable
disk space on your hard disk drive by approximately
2GB.
Creating Drive Image SE Diskettes
Note: You can use a DISE disk to boot your machine and
run DISE if your machine is not bootable or if you do not
have access to Windows.
Insert a formatted floppy disk in your machine.
From the Drive Image Special Edition main window,
click Options > Create Drive Image SE Diskette.
Running DISE from Diskettes
1. Insert the Drive Image SE Disk 1 in the floppy drive.
2. Reboot your computer.
3. Insert Disk 2, type DISE, then press <Enter>.
Creating a Backup Image
You can create a backup image of your C:\ drive at any
time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS
partition, and it must be directly before the backup
partition on your hard disk.
1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen,
click Options> Create New Backup.
There is also a button on the main DISE screen that
performs the same function.
2. You will be prompted to type a password. Type a
password (or leave the password fields blank), then
click OK. DISE displays a warning that it must go to
DOS to create the image.
3. Click Ye s .
DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If
you created a backup image previously, the new
image overwrites the old one.
Enlarging the Backup Partition
If there is not enough unused space in the backup partition on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition.
DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recommended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the
size you want.
DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS
partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough
unused space in that partition to take, you will not be
able to resize the backup partition and create an image
file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS
partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.
Restoring a Backup Image
You can restore either a factory image or a backup image
you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will
replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image
you restore.
1. Disable virus protection software in the BIOS. If
virus protection software is enabled, DISE will hang.
2. From the DISE main window, click Options >
Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or
click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore
the factory image.
DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.
Drivers and Applications Restore CD
The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have
been un-installed or corrupted. Please refer to installation instructions located in the Drivers and Applications
Restore CD.
POINT
Look for and open files with the extensions .DOC .PDF
and/or .TXT.

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

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.
