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

Panel Setup utility will appear.
The utility window has tabs that correspond to the
application buttons on the application panel. When you
receive your notebook, these buttons are pre-configured
to launch specific programs. (See Specifications on
page 91 for more information)
The tabs in Application Panel Setup may
not be in the same order as the buttons on
your LifeBook notebook. Please select the
tab you wish to change carefully.
To change an application associated with one of the
buttons, click on the tab for the button you would like to
reconfigure. Click on the Browse button. Scroll down to
the application you want to associate with the buttons,
19

click on the application you wish to launch with this
button, and then click Open. Click OK, and the button
will now launch the new application.
One of the buttons may be preconfigured to launch your
default Internet browser. In order to reconfigure it to
launch a different program, follow these easy steps:
1. Click on the Internet tab of the application panel
utility. Click on the down-arrow in the Specify the
button action: field. Select Start Other Program
from the dropdown list.
2. Click on the Browse button.
3. Scroll down the list of applications, and click on the
application you wish to launch with this button.
Click on Open.
4. Click OK.
The button will now launch the new application. If you
want to return to launching your default Internet
browser with this button, you need only click on
“Default Internet Browser” from the dropdown list. Be
aware that you will erase the settings for the other application. If you wish to go back to launching the other
application from this button, you will need to reconfigure it as described above.
The E-mail tab can be modified in the same manner as
the Internet tab.
At the bottom of each application setup page are two
selectable options. The first will enable/disable the button
when your LifeBook notebook is in Standby mode, and
the second will enable/disable the button when your LifeBook notebook is in the pseudo-off state. You can enable/
disable either or both of these functions simply by
clicking on the option.
When you have finished with Application Panel utility,
click on OK, and the new settings will take effect. You
can reconfigure your LifeBook Application Panel as
often as you like.
If you choose to use the buttons when the
notebook is in standby, they will function
even if hit accidentally, and will turn on
your notebook even if you are not present
or using the notebook. This could deplete
your battery, and you will need to recharge
it before using the notebook.
