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)
Cursor Control
DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press and release the left button twice. (Figure 2-14)

QUICK POINT DEVICE 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.
n
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 perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly with your finger on the Touch Screen twice.

Right-clicking
It is possible for you to perform right-click functions with the stylus.
1. Click Start --> Programs (or All Programs, in Windows XP) --> Fujitsu Touch Panel
--> Touch Panel Configuration.
2. When the Right Button Tool screen appears, select either “Hold [Ctrl] key down and touch the screen” or “Press [Ctrl] key and touch the 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 Tou c h Sc r een Calibration Utility. This will open the Calibration
Utility.
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, firmly touch the screen directly on the (+) symbol. Lift the stylus from the screen and the target will move to a different location on the screen.

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.

Figure 3-4 Opening the Display Panel

Display Panel

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a display panel that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environments and maintains top resolution through the use of active­matrix technology.
OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL
Lift the display backwards, being careful not to touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable viewing angle.
(Figure 3-4)
ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS
Once you have turned on your LifeBook notebook, you may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more comfortable viewing level. There are two ways to adjust the brightness, by using the keyboard or the power management utility.
Using the Keyboard
Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the setting only temporarily.
[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display.
[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the brightness of the display.
Using the Power Management Utility (Windows 2000 only)
Adjusting the brightness using the Power Management changes the setting permanently.
1. Double-click the Battery icon in the lower right corner of your display. This will open the BatteryAid Properties dialog box.
2. Select the Power Control tab and adjust your LCD Backlighting to the desired level.
3. Click OK or Apply to permanently change the settings.
You may need to readjust the brightness level periodi­cally depending on your operating environment.
POINT
The higher the brightness level, the more power the notebook will consume and the faster your batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, make sure that the brightness is set as low as possible.
CLOSING THE DISPLAY PANEL
Holding the edge of your display panel, pull it forward until it is flush with the body of your LifeBook note­book.
