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.

Pen and Active Digitizer

Using the Pen

You can use the LifeBook T Series pen to generate and create electronic “ink”, to select items, and to navigate through programs on the Tablet PC. Programs that support handwr iting recognition also allow you to write characters directly on the screen with the pen. You can also use the pen as a drawing tool.

Figure 2-24. LifeBook T Series Pen

The LifeBook T Series pen is a sophisticated, high-quality electronic instrument that can be damaged if used improperly. Treat the pen as you would any precision device. The following guidelines should be observed:

• Do not gesture with the pen, use it as a pointer, or tap it on surfaces other than the Tablet PC screen.

• Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen; it is designed for inserting and removing the pen from the pen holder.

• Never store the pen with the tip bearing the weight of the pen (e.g., sitting tip down in a pencil cup). Storing the pen tip down could distort the internal mechanism over a period of time (especially in higher temperatures), causing the tip to act as if it is always depressed. To avoid damage, the pen should be stored in the pen holder when not in use.

Tip Switch

The screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately 1/8 inch (3-5mm) from the screen. The pen has three switches: a tip switch and a barrel button toggle switch with switches at both ends. When activated, the tip s witch corresponds to the left mouse button, and the front toggle (closest to the pen tip) barrel button switch, when used in combination with the tip switch, corresponds to the right mouse button. The rear toggle of the barrel button switch is programmab le and by default, corresponds to a left-double-clic k of a mouse. You can also program it to act as an electronic ink "eraser".

The functions of the rear toggle and the tip click pressure can be changed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel, and double-clicking the Fujitsu P en Settings icon.

To change the rear toggle function, select the drop-down list to select a new function, then click [Apply]. If y ou don’t want the rear toggle to have any function, select Ignore from the list.

Adjusting the click pressure determines how much pressure must be put on the pen tip in order for the screen to react. The softer it is set, less pressure is required; the harder it is set, more pressure is required. To change the click pressure, use the slider bar to make the click pressure harder or softer, then click [Apply].

• Use only the pen provided with your T ab let PC. Do not use substitutes that were not designed for the LifeBook T Series Tablet PC.

Here are some hints that may help you use the pen more effectively:

• To activate the tip switch, tap or hold the pen tip against the screen.

• To activate the barrel button switch, press and hold the end of the button you wish to use (front toggle is the right mouse button switch; the rear toggle acts as an electronic “eraser”).

Getting to Know Your Tablet PC

• To move the cursor , hold the pen tip within 1/ 8 inch (3-5mm) from the screen and move the pen.

• To start a program, double-tap the pen tip (tap the pen tip twice rapidly) on the program icon as you would double-click a mouse.

• To select an object, tap the pen tip on the object once.

• To “double-click” an object, quickly tap the object twice.

Calibrating the Pen

In order to ensure accurate tracking between the pen and cursor, you must run the Touch Screen Calibration Utility before you use the Touch Screen for the first time, or after you change the display resolution.

To run the calibration utility:

1. Go to Start → Contr ol Panel and double-clic k on the Tab let and Pen Settings icon.

2. Click Calibrate.

3. Adjust the display of your Tablet PC to a comfortable angle.

4. Using the pen, firmly touch the screen directly on the (+) symbol; the pen tip, the (+) symbol will move to the next location.

5. Repeat step 4 in the four corners of the screen, then click OK.

Replacing the Pen Tip

With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up foreign particles that can scratch the screen. A damaged or worn tip may not move freely , causing unpredictable results when using the pen. If your pen e xhibits these problems, y ou should replace the pen tip. To do so, use the pen tip removal tool included with your pen.

. Pinch the tool together so the tip is firmly clasped, then pull it from the barrel. If the tip is worn or damaged, discard it.

To replace the tip, retrieve one of the new tips that accompanied your pen. Insert the flat end of the tip into the barrel and push it in firmly until it is seated.

(See Figure 2-

Using the Active Digitizer

The integrated Active Digitizer allows y ou to use the included pen as a pointing device. You can use the pen to click, double-click, drag items and icons, or to draw like a pen or pencil in applications that support this behavior, such as drawing or painting programs. See the documentation that came with your application for details.

Using Your Tablet PC

Starting Y our T ablet PC

Power On

The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your Tablet PC.

When you turn on your Tablet PC be sure you have a power source. This means that a battery is installed and charged, or that the AC adapter is connected and has power .

Press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to start your system. When you are done working you can either leave your Tablet PC in Standby mode, or you can turn it off.

When the system display is closed, the Suspend/Resume button is disabled. This feature prevents the system from being accidentally powered up when not in use.

When you Power On your Tablet PC, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your Tablet PC will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test (POST), your Tablet PC will load your operating system.

Boot Sequence

The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet PC’s BIOS. When your Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time y ou power up or restart your Tablet PC, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your Tablet PC is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility , the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

• You turn on the power to your Tablet PC.

• You restart your Tablet PC from the Windows

Shut Down dialog box.

• The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.

• You reset the system by pressing the three keys [Ctrl+Alt+Del].

Registering your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC

How do I register?

To register your system, visit our Web site at: www.pc-ap.fujitsu.com

Never turn off your Tablet PC during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error message to be displayed when you turn your Tablet PC on the next time.

Power Management

Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these f eatures are automatic and need no user intervention, such as those for the internal modem. Howev er , others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management f or your T ab let PC may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.

Power Mode

Fully On Mode

Standby Mode (Suspend-to-RAM)

Hibernation Mode (Suspend-to-Disk)

System Activity

System is running. CPU, system bus, and all other interfaces operate at full speed.

Resume system logic remains powered and RAM remains powered to maintain active data. All other devices are turned off.

Windows saves desktop state (including open files and documents) to hard disk. CPU stops. All other devices are turned off.

System is fully powered off except for logic components required for Suspend/Resume button and real-time clock operation.

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent y our Tablet PC battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your Tablet PC into Standby mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.

Events causing system to enter mode state

• From Standby mode: System operation resumed (Suspend/Resume button pressed, resume on modem ring, resume on time).

• From Hibernation mode: Suspend/Resume button pressed.

• From Off mode: Suspend/Resume button pressed.

• Standby timeout occurs.

• Suspend request issued by software or by pressing

the Suspend/Resume button.

• Low battery.

• Suspend timeout occurs.

• Clicking Start -> Shut Down -> Hibernate (It may be

necessary to Enable Hibernate Support from Windows Power Options.)

• Low battery condition.

• System shutdown.

• Low battery condition.

Table 3-1. System Power States

Suspend/Resume Button

When your Tablet PC is active, the Suspend/ Resume button can be used to manually put your T ablet PC into Standb y mode. Push the Suspend/ Resume button when your T ablet PC is activ e, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and your system will enter Standby mode.

If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Suspend/Resume button will return your Tablet

PC to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Standby mode by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your Tablet PC is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your Tablet PC is in Standby mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernate mode

(See

Hibernate Mode)

Using Your Tablet PC

Standby Mode

Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your Tablet PC’s system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU , the display , the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your Tablet PC can be put in Standby mode by:

• Pressing the Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.

• Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.

• Timing out from lack of activity.

• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery

Warning condition.

• Closing the system cover.

Y our T ablet PC’s system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open application(s) information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Standby mode, your Tablet PC will return to the point where it left off. To resume operation, you must use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your Tablet PC will not resume.

If you are running your Tablet PC on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your Tablet PC is in Standby mode, though not as fast as when fully operational.

Hibernate Mode

The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your T ab let PC’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. Your T ablet PC is preconfigured to perform this function. The Hibernate mode can also be configured through the system BIOS to run in other ways depending on what you need to accomplish.

 Standby or Hibernate modes should not

be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information.

 Disabling the Suspend/Resume button

prevents it from being used to put your T ablet PC in Standby or Hibernate mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled.

 If your Tablet PC is actively accessing

information when you enter Standby or Hibernate mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Standby mode or the memory is transferred to the hard drive during Hibernate mode.

 When PC Cards or external devices are

in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all peripheral devices will be reinitialized when the system restarts.

 The main advantage of using Hibernate

mode is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is very important if you will be leaving your Tablet PC in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The dra wback of using Hibernate mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.

Using Hibernate Mode

Hibernate default setting is enabled for Windows XP. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature

follow these easy steps:

1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel → Power Management.

2. Select Hibernation, and then select the box to enable or disable this feature.

To use Hibernate mode with Windows XP systems:

1. Click on the Start button, click Shut Down.

2. Select Hibernate option from the “What do you want the computer to do” list.

Display Timeout

The Video Timeout is one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically . This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows Power Management.

Hard Disk Timeout

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power b y turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows.

Windows Power Management

The Power Management icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. F or e xample , you can use the Power Management to set the timeout v alues for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the T ab let PC on battery power or one of the adapters..

Restarting the System

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.

1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

3. Click OK. Your Tablet PC will shut down and reboot.

Turning off your Tablet PC without exiting Windows or turning on your Tablet PC within 10 seconds of the Tablet PC being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time.

Power Off

Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down from the Windows Start menu, check that the Hard Drive, CD-ROM, PC Card and the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicators are all Off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To assure that your Tablet PC shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows, allows your Tablet PC to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2. Select the Shut Down option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

Using Your Tablet PC

Using fingerprint authentication*

With fingerprint authentication, you can omit entering a user name and a password by just sliding your finger onto the fingerprint sensor at the time of logging in homepages or logging on Windows. This chapter describes how to use fingerprint authentication.

* NOTE:

This is only applicable for LifeBook with Fingerprint Sensor.

To use fingerprint authentication, the user’s fingerprints must be registered.

Characteristics of fingerprint authentication

 Fingerprint authentication can be

used in the following case.

• Logging on to Windows

When the user account of Windows is password-protected, only persons who know that password can log on to Windows using that account. Ho wever , you ha ve to enter the password each time when you log on to Windows. With use of fingerprint authentication, you can log on to Windows by only authenticating fingerprints that have previously been registered, thus omitting entering a password.

• Recovery from the power-saving status

If the computer is password-protected for the recovery from power-saving status, y ou have to enter a password each time when your computer is recovered from the power-sa ving status. With use of fingerprint authentication, you can recover from the power-sa ving status by authenticating fingerprints that have previously been registered, thus omitting entering a password.

You can log on to Windows or recover from the power-saving status by authenticating the fingerprints

It is unnecessary to input a password.

• Canceling password-protected screen saver

You can lock your computer if the screen saver is password-protected. However, you have to cancel this lock when canceling the screen saver . With use of fingerprint authentication, just authenticating fingerprints that have previously been registered enables this lock to be canceled, thus omitting entering a password.

• Logging into the homepage that requires an ID (user name) and a password

To log into the homepage of which security is set up, you may have to enter log-in information such as an ID (user name) and a password. With fingerprint authentication, you can log into these homepages by just authenticating fingerprints if log-in information is previously memorized for specific homepages. Status for entering log-in information differs depending on homepages; direct entering log-in information into homepages, and indication of screens specific to entering. In either case, log-in using fingerprint authentication can be performed.

Using Your Tablet PC

User-Installable Features

Lithium ion Battery

Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your Tablet PC when no external power source is available . The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.

The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

• When used at temperatures that exceeds a

low of 41°F (5°C) or a high of 95°F (35°C). Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency , but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.

• When using a high current device such as a

modem, CD-ROM drive or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.

Do not leave a faulty battery in your Tablet PC. It may damage your A C adapter, another battery or your Tablet PC itself. It may also prevent operation of your Tablet PC by draining all available current into the bad battery.

Recharging the Batteries

If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your Tablet PC and connect the AC adapter.

Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel.

There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your T ab let PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your Tablet PC into Standby mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.

Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent CD-ROM and PCMCIA powered external devices accesses may prevent charging completely.

Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery ages. If your battery is r unning low quickly, you should replace it with a new one.

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, your Tablet PC will beep every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator will flash. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a multiple beep alarm and the Battery Level indicator will show a dead battery. Your Tablet PC will then go into Standby mode to try and protect your data for as long as possible. There is no guar antee that your data will not be lost once the Tablet PC reaches this point.

 You may not be able to hear the alarm if

the volume control is set too low or is turned off by the hardware or software. However, you will be able to see the Battery Level indicator flash. Once the low battery alarm occurs you must save all your data and put your Tablet PC into Standby mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery or AC Adapter as soon as possible.

 When you are in Standby mode there

must always be at least one pow er source active. If you remove all power sources while your Tablet PC is in Standby mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Standby mode. Once your Tablet PC goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided pow er, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your Tablet PC while an adapter is charging the battery.
