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.

n

Windows key: This key works with your Windows
operating system and functions the same as the
onscreen Start menu button.

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.

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)

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.

If your LifeBook notebook is suspended, pushing the
Suspend/Resume button will return your notebook to
active operation. You can tell whether or not your
system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indi­cator. (See figure 2-4 on page 6) If the indicator is visible
and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If
the indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook
is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible at all,
the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation
mode.

STANDBY MODE

Standby (or Suspend-to-RAM) mode in Windows saves

the contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system

memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining

power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU,

the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal

components except those necessary to maintain system

memory and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be

put in Standby mode by:

n

Pressing the Suspend/Resume button when your
system is turned on.

n

Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.

n

n

Allowing the battery to reach the Low Battery
Warning condition.

Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically

stores the file(s) on which you are working, open applica-

tion(s) information, and any other data required to

support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume

operation from Standby mode, your notebook will

25

LifeBook P1000 Notebook – Section Three

return to the point where it left off. You must use the
Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there
must be an adequate power source available, or your
notebook will not resume.

POINTS

n

If you are running your LifeBook notebook on
battery power, be aware that the battery continues
to discharge while your notebook is in Standby
mode, though not as fast as when fully operational.

n

from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in
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

parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer
activity will cause the display to restart automatically.
This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume
button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and
BIOS setup utility.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power
management parameters. This feature saves power by
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart
automatically. This feature is independent of the
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility.

WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT

Power Management

The Power Management icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the

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 25 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.
Your data will be automatically saved to your hard disk
drive just prior to entering Suspend mode.

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.

31

LifeBook P1000 Notebook – 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.

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.

4. Slide the battery bay release buttons to open the bay.

POINT

Note that there is no bridge battery in the system, so
you should never attempt to replace a battery unless
you have first saved all working data.

Cold-swapping Batteries

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

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.

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

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. 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.

Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device

AdHoc Mode

network is in the “Infrastructure mode” when it uses an
access point, and such a connection is called the “Infra­structure Network.”

By using an access point, you can set and use a different
communication channel for each network group. Each
channel is given a different radio frequency, and it
eliminates the collision of communications and provides
a more stable communications environment. Infrastruc­ture mode is most suitable when you are configuring
multiple wireless LAN networks on the same floor.

To connect a wireless LAN network to a wired LAN, you
need an access point.

How to Handle This Device

The Integrated Wireless LAN device is already installed
in your LifeBook computer and under normal circum­stances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or
re-install it. The LAN has been configured to support the
operating system with which your system shipped.

The “AdHoc Mode” refers to the network connecting
two computers using wireless LAN cards. This connec­tion is called an “AdHoc network.”

Using an AdHoc network, you can obtain a network
connection easily and at a low cost.

In the AdHoc mode, you can use the function supported
by Microsoft Network, such as File and Print Sharing to
exchange files and share a printer or other peripheral
devices.

To use the AdHoc Mode, you must set the same SSID
and the same encryption key for all the computers that
are connected. All connected computers can communi­cate with each other within the communication range.

Infrastructure Mode

If a number of computers are connected simultaneously
in the AdHoc mode, the transfer rate may be reduced,
communications may become unstable, or the network
connection could fail. This is because all wireless LAN
cards are using the same radio frequency in the network.

To improve this situation, you can use a wireless LAN
access point, which is sold separately. The wireless LAN

Outside of wireless LAN environments, encryption is
generally set at either 64 bit or 128 bit. However, the
wireless LAN standard requires that 24 bits be reserved
for fixed data. As a result, the user can only use 40 bits
(64 minus 24) or 104 bits (128 minus 24) for encryption.
This requirement also fixes the number of characters
used for 128 bit encryption to 13 which is calculated as
(13 x 8 bits = 104).

IP packet isn’t
reaching its
destination

Run the PING
command to check
the connection

Perform the following steps to run the PING command to check if the
IP packet is correctly delivered to the destination.

To run the PING command, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed.
First you will determine your IP address, then you will make sure your
IP address can respond, and then you will make sure other computers
can be addressed.

1. Windows 2000: Click [Start] -> [Programs] -> [Accessories] ->
[Command Prompt].

Windows XP: Click [Start] -> [All Programs] -> [Accessories] ->
[Command Prompt].

2. Type: ipconfig > directory\filename

where directory and filename represent the location at which you

want to find the IP address.

3. Click [Enter], then go to the location you specified above. The IP
address for your system will be contained in the file.

4. To check that your IP address is functioning properly, go back to
the DOS prompt and type: ping <IP address>, then press [Enter].
You will receive several replies, followed by the PING statistics
(similar to below).

5. To check that your system is communicating with other systems,
go to the DOS prompt and type:
\>ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. (With the destination IP address in
place of XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX).

Example: if the destination IP address is 10.0.1.3:

C:\>ping 10.0.1.3

A message similar to the following appears if the connection is
successful.

Pinging 10.0.1.3 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 10.0.1.3: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=32

Reply from 10.0.1.3: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

Reply from 10.0.1.3: bytes=32 time=4ms TTL=32

Reply from 10.0.1.3: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

If the connection fails, [Request timed out], [Destination host
unreachable], or a similar message appears. In this case, refer to the
“Other computers are not displayed” portion of this chapter.

ABOUT IP ADDRESSES

Setting IP Addresses

If you are not sure how to set the IP address, refer to the
following procedure.

If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the
network, set the IP address as follows:

Windows 2000: [Obtain an IP address automatically]

Windows XP: [Obtain an IP address automatically]

POINT

A DHCP server is a server that automatically assigns IP
addresses to computers or other devices in the network.
There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc network.

If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in
the network, ask the network administrator to check the
IP address to be set for the computer.

If no access point is found in the network:

An IP address is expressed with four values in the range
between 1 and 255.

WIreless LAN User’s Guide

Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren­theses is a subnet mask.
