Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your
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 a scrolling 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. 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 scrolling button allows you to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the
scroll bars. (Figure 2-16)
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button.
To left-click, 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 mouse cursor to
the item you wish to select, press the right button once,
and then immediately release it. You also have the option
to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on
the Touchpad once. (Figure 2-13)
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
the left button twice, and then immediately release it.
You also have the option to perform the double-click
operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.

Getting to Know Your LifeBook
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.
