Display Panel Latch
Display Panel
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC contains a display panel that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environ­ments. The convertible design of your Tablet PC allows you to open the display fully, rotate it 180 degrees, and lay it face up on the keyboard. This allows you to use the system as a tablet, much as you would a pad of paper.
OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL
1. Slide the latch release to the right. This releases the locking mechanism. While holding the latch release, lift display cover.
2. Lift the display backwards, being careful not to touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable viewing angle. (Figure 2-11)
USING THE SYSTEM AS A TABLET
If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform the following steps.
Rotate the system display only in the direction indicated in the procedure.
Turning the display in the incorrect direction could cause hinge damage.
4. Push the latch towards the display (See "A" in Figure 2-12). The latch will pivot so the top latch disappears, and the bottom latch appears (See "B" in Figure 2-12). Holding the latch down, lay the display flush against the system so that the latch engages. You can now use your system as a tablet. (Figure 2-

ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS
Once you have turned on your Tablet PC, 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, keyboard and power management utility.
Using Keyboard to Adjust Brightness
Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the system setting (i.e., the settings you make via the func­tion keys automatically changes the brightness settings in the system’s Pen and Tablet Settings).
[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display.
[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the brightness of the display.
Using Power Management to Adjust Brightness
To adjust brightness with the power management utility, click Start -> Control Panel -> Tablet and Pen Settings. Select the Display tab and set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios.
Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust Brightness
To adjust brightness using the Fujitsu menu, click on the Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, select Brightness Control. The Tablet and Pen Settings window will open. Select the Display tab and set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios.
If using AC power your brightness setting is set to its highest level by default. If using battery power your brightness settings is
Figure 2-15. Display rotated completely
set to approximately mid-level by default.
The higher the brightness level, the more power the LifeBook T Series Tablet PC will consume and the faster your batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, make sure that the brightness is set as low as possible.

USING THE KEYBOARD
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC 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 2-17)
Numeric keypad: Your Tablet PC 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.
Cursor Keys
Application Key
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] key. 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 2-17)
If you are using the optional external numerical keypad, pressing the [NumLk] key will activate the external keypad. The indicator will come on, however it will not change any of the functionality of your keyboard keys.
WINDOWS KEYS
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has two Windows keys: 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.
