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.
Figure 2-14. Rotating the display
Figure 2-15. Display rotated completely
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 (or double-click the Function button). 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 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.
