Keyboard
USING THE KEYBOARD
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has an integral 83-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys. (Figure 2-11)
Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to tog­gle between the standard character and numerical keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key.
Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the right, left, up, or down within windows, applications and documents.
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.
Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows operating system and function the same as the onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on your pointing device.
Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. 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. (Figure 2-11)
WINDOWS KEYS
Your LifeBook notebook has two Windows keys, consisting of a Start key and an Application key. The Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The Application key functions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional information regarding the Windows keys.)
(Figure 2-11)
CURSOR KEYS
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up, down, left, or right). (Figure 2-11)
NUMERIC KEYPAD
Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys.

Figure 2-12 Touchpad pointing device
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.
(Figure 2-14)
Figure 2-14 Double-clicking
If the interval between clicks is too
long, the double-click will not be executed.
Parameters for the Touchpad can be adjusted from the Mouse Properties dialog box located in the Windows Control Panel.

then release it. Dragging can also be done using the Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger across the Touchpad, and then release your finger. (Figure 2-15)
Figure 2-15 Dragging
SCROLLING
Using the Scrolling button allows you to navigate through a document quickly without using the window’s scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navigating through on-line pages. To use the Scrolling button, press the crescent shape at the top or bottom of the button to scroll up or down a page. When you have reached the desired section of the page, release the button. (Figure 2-16)

Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.
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 external volume control settings.
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.
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.

Flexible Bay
P5020.book Page 18 Friday, September 12, 2003 4:43 PM
LifeBook P5000 Notebook – Section Two
Flexible Bay Devices
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay. The Flexible Bay can accommodate a modular DVD/ CD-RW combo drive, a modular Lithium ion battery, or a weight saver. (Figure 2-17)
Figure 2-17 Flexible Bay
The modular DVD/CD-RW combo drive allows you to access movies, software and audio DVD/CDs, as well as the ability to write to CDs.
The modular Lithium ion battery is a rechargeable battery that can be used to power your LifeBook note­book when an adapter is not connected.
The Weight Saver is used to fill the bay when no device is needed.
REMOVING AND INSTALLING MODULAR DEVICES
To remove and install modular devices in the Flexible Bay, you can perform either a cold-swapping or hot­swapping of the device. Cold-swapping means swapping devices while your LifeBook notebook is powered off. Hot-swapping occurs when your system is powered on
with a charged main battery or AC Adapter.
You should never leave your Flexible Bay empty when the notebook is in operation. If left empty, dust or foreign matter may accumulate inside the notebook.
Cold-swapping
To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay follow these easy steps:
1. Close any open files.
2. Shut down your LifeBook notebook.
3. Turn the system over and slide the release latch (Figure 2-18). Pull out the Flexible Bay device from the slot.
Figure 2-18 Removing a device from the Flexible Bay
Be careful when aligning and seating devices in the bay. If the fit is incorrect, you may damage the bay or the device. If the device does not move easily in the bay, remove it, and check for dirt or foreign objects. It will require a firm push to latch the device in place.
