Figure 2-11. Opening the display

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.Press the latch release button. 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.

In the following step, be sure to position the display perpendicular to the keyboard, otherwise the keyboard or display cover could get scratched.

(Figure 2-14). Turn the display 180 degrees so that it is facing backwards. (Figure 2-15)

3.Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard.

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- 16)

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 (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.

USING THE KEYBOARD

Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has an integral 84-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.

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)

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. 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 2-17)

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 2-17)

21

L i f e B o o k T S e r i e s T a b l e t P C - S e c t i o n T w o

FUNCTION KEYS

Your Tablet PC has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ for each application. You should refer to your software documentation to find out how these keys are used.

(Figure 2-17)

[Fn] Key

The [Fn] key provides extended functions for the Tablet PC and is always used in conjunction with another key.

[Fn+F3]: Pressing [F3] while holding [Fn] will toggle the Audio Mute on and off.

[Fn+F4]: Pressing [F4] while holding [Fn] will toggle the built-in pointing device on and off. Note that the [Fn+F4] combination only works if Manual Setting is selected in the BIOS. (See “Entering the BIOS Setup Utility” on page 36)

[Fn +F5]: Pressing [F5] while holding [Fn] allows you to toggle between video compensation and no compensation. (Video compensation controls spacing on the display. When it is enabled, displays with less than 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600 pixel resolution will still cover the entire screen.)

[Fn+F6]: Pressing [F6] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will lower the brightness of your display. Note that adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the system setting.

[Fn+F7]: Pressing [F7] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the brightness of the display.

[Fn+F8]: Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will decrease the volume of your Tablet PC.

[Fn+F9]: Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your Tablet PC.

[Fn+F10]: Pressing [F10] while holding [Fn] allows you to change your selection of where to send your display video. Each time you press the combination of keys you will step to the next choice. The choices, in order, are: built-in display panel only, both built-in display panel, and external monitor or external monitor only.

LifeBook Security/

Tablet PC Buttons

A unique feature of your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC is the array of Security and Tablet PC buttons. These buttons allow you to secure your Tablet PC from unauthorized use and to launch specific applications with the touch of a button.

If the security system is activated, upon starting your Tablet PC or resuming from Standby, Hibernate, or shutdown mode the security system will require you to enter a password code using the security buttons. After you enter the correct password, your Tablet PC will resume operation.

The five security/Tablet PC buttons are located on the bottom right-hand side of the display when it is configured to be used as a notebook. (Figure 2-18)

Security functions: All five buttons are used when implementing security functions. Four of the buttons are used to enter the password, and the fifth is used as an Enter button. See the right-hand column of Table 2-2.

Tablet PC functions: All five of the buttons have primary functions. Four of the buttons have secondary functions when used as application buttons. The secondary functions are activated by pressing the Function (Fn) button while pressing the application button. See Table 2-2 for specific functions. The secondary func-

tions of the Application A and B buttons can be changed to launch any application. See “Changing Tablet PC Button Functions” on page 24

When the system is logging on or when it is locked (i.e., when you have the Logon or Computer Locked window showing on your desktop), the A and B buttons act as [Tab] and [Enter] keys, respectively.
