RUNNING THE NOTEBOOK ON ITS BATTERY

Recharging the battery

1. Connect the AC adapter to your notebook.

The moment you connect an AC adapter

to your notebook, the notebook begins to charge the internal standard battery pack.

The charging status ( / ) on the

Status Indicator LED turns on.

2. When the indicator turns off after the battery is completely charged, disconnect the AC adapter from the notebbok.

Before using the supplied battery pack

for the very first time after purchase, remember to charge it fully. If a charged battery has not been recharged for more than a month, charge it fully before using it.

When the battery is fully charged, the

charging status indicators

/ turns

green.

When the battery is 90% or more

charged, it cannot be recharged even if the AC adapter is connected. The battery can be recharged when its power level (i.e. remaining battery life) is 89% or less.

When a notebook is turned off, all

indicators on the status LED goes off immediately if the battery is completely charged.

The chargeability of the battery degrades

when it is used in an extremely hot or cold place.

When the battery is very hot, for

example, immediately after long usage of the notebook, the battery protection feature may be activated to prevent the battery from being recharged. When the temperature decreases, the notebook automatically begins to charge the battery.

When an optional modular bay battery

is installed, it is charged along with the internal standard battery.

Page 28

Running the notebook on its battery

This section describes the steps to run the notebook on its internal standard battery.

1. Disconnect the AC adapter from your notebook and press the power button.

(This picture is for illustration purpose only and may

look different from the actual unit)

The power level of the battery decreases

faster when it is used in a cold place.

The chargeability of the battery decreases

after it has been used over a long period of time. If the battery runs down very fast, replace it with a new battery.

When an optional modular bay battery

is installed, it is charged along with the internal standard battery.

Power button

Checking the power level of the battery

When the notebook is turned on or when the battery is being charged, the Battery Level indicators

/ turns on with different color

to show the power level of the battery.

■ Different power level of the battery

• Blue lamp is lit

Remaining battery level: 100% – 50%

• Orange lamp is lit

Remaining battery level: 49 – 13%

• Red lamp is lit

Remaining battery level: 12% or below

Due to certain characteristics of Li-ion

battery, the Battery Level Indicators may not correctly show the remaining power of the battery, especially under extreme temperature conditions.

When the battery is 90% or more charged,

it cannot be recharged even if the AC adapter is connected to the notebook. The battery can be recharged when its remaing is 89% or less.

When the battery is discharged to a very low level, the battery level indicator on the status indicator LED / turns red. If it turns red, connect the AC adapter to your notebook immediately to recharge the battery.

The use of a weak battery may result in

lost of data you are currently working on. When the battery runs low, connect the AC adapter to your notebook as soon as an external power source is available or immediately save the data you are working on, exit all applications and turn off the notebook.

Accessing data on the hard disk consumes

a lot of power. Therefore when the battery is weak, connect an AC adapter to the notebook before accessing data on the hard disk.

If a battery is weak and there is no system

activity, the notebook may go into standby (i.e. suspend) mode. However, if there is system activity, the notebook will go into standby mode only after the system activity has completed its processing.

The notebook will go into standby mode

when the indicator reaches 3%. This is the default setting of the notebook.

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.

Figure 2-12. Fully open display

Figure 2-13. Rotating the display

Page 32

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.

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 T901 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 T901 Series pen to generate and create electronic “ink”, to select items, and to navigate through programs on the Tablet PC. Programs that support handwriting recognition also allow you to write characters directly on the screen with the pen. You can also use the pen as a drawing tool.

Tip Switch

Barrel Switch

Figure 2-16. LifeBook T901 Series Pen

The LifeBook T901 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.

Eraser Button

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 switch 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 programmable and by default, corresponds to a left-double-click 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 Pen Settings icon.

To change the rear toggle function, select the drop-down list to select a new function, then click [Apply]. If you 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 Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that were not designed for the LifeBook T901 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”).

Page 34

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 exhibits these problems, you should replace the pen tip. To do so, use the pen tip removal tool included with your pen.

Figure 2-17. Tip Removal Tool

To remove the tip, position the tip in the gap between the two ends of the tool

(See Figure

2-17)

. Pinch the tool together so the tip is ﬁ rmly 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 ﬂ at end of the tip into the barrel and push it in ﬁ rmly until it is seated.

Gap

• 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 ﬁ rst time, or after you change the display resolution.

To run the calibration utility:

1. Go to Start → Control Panel and double-click on the Digitizer Properties icon.

2. Click Calibrate.

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

4. Using the pen, ﬁ rmly 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.

Page 35

Getting to Know Your Tablet PC

Using the Active Digitizer

The integrated Active Digitizer allows you 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.

(Figure 2-18)

Figure 2-18. Using the pen with the Screen

To avoid potential scratching and damage, never use anything but the included pen with the display.

Clicking

To left-click, touch the object you wish to select and then lift the pen tip immediately.

(Figure

2-19)

To right-click, press the front button on the barrel switch or touch the pen to the screen for a couple of seconds until the right mouse icon appears at the tip.

Figure 2-19. Clicking the Screen

Double-Clicking

To double-click, touch the item twice, and then immediately remove the pen tip. (Figure 2-20)

Setting Up Lifebook Security Panel

When you receive your Tablet PC, the security panel application is pre-installed without any passwords. The following sections provide detailed information on your security panel, how to set, change or remove passwords.

Numbered Buttons

Use these buttons to enter your password.

(Figure 2-21)

Enter Button

After entering the button strokes, push this button to enter the password into the Tablet PC.

(Figure 2-21)

Passwords

The user and supervisor password may be set on this Tablet PC. A supervisor password is typically the same for all tablets and notebooks in a work group, ofﬁ ce, or company to allow for system management. Individual computers in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to ﬁ ve button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta-neously.

The following are valid button strokes:

• Pushing [4] by itself

• Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time

• Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time

• Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time

The following are valid passwords. The numbers within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one button.

• {[2]+[3]}, [1], [Enter]

• [4], [enter]

• {[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [Enter]

Setting Passwords

When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting a supervisor and user password. You must set the super-visor password before the user password.

The purpose of supervisor password is to

be able to bypass the user password in case the user password is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not lock the system.

You must set the supervisor and user

passwords for the security panel to work.

Setting Supervisor Password

You must have set a supervisor password before setting any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass the user password.

1. Go to the Start menu.

2. Click on Run.

3. Type in: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\Security

Panel Application\Supervisor\ FJSECS.EXE, then press [Enter].

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the Supervisor password.

Setting User Password

1. Go to the Start menu.

2. Click on All Programs.

3. Click on Security Panel Application -> Security Panel Application.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the user password.

You may change or remove the supervisor or user password by repeating the steps deﬁ ned above.

Page 39

Getting to Know Your Tablet PC

Using Your Lifebook Security Panel

The security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off, Standby, or Hibernation state. You always need to push the Security Panel buttons to input the user password. Your system will not begin the boot sequence until you enter your supervisor/user password.

From Off State

1. Turn on your system.

2. When the Security Indicator ﬂ ashes, enter the pass-word and press Enter button.

For example, if the password is 22222, ﬁ rst

press Button 2 ﬁ ve times and press the Enter button. The Tablet PC will boot to normal operation.

From Standby/Hibernation State

1. Press your Suspend/Resume button.

2. When the Security Indicator ﬂ ashes, enter the pass-word and press Enter button.

The Tablet PC should resume normal

operation.

Incorrect Password Entry

If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will “beep” for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute (while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the Tablet PC will resume normal operation. If no password is entered or an invalid password is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (standby or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reactivate the Tablet PC after a password failure, you must press the Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password.

Remember the user password you speciﬁ ed on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The supervisor password can override the user password.

Precautions

Opening and Closing the Cover

By default, closing the cover automatically places your system into Standby mode. (You can change the action the system takes when the cover is closed by opening the Power Options Properties icon in the Control Panel, and selecting the Advanced tab. Make a choice from the drop down menu for “When I close the lid of my portable computer:” and click the [OK] button.) Opening the cover does not automatically place the Tablet PC into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Suspend/Resume button.

Low Battery Operations

If your Tablet PC has a low battery, pushing the suspend/resume button only turns on the Security Indi-cator. Your Tablet PC does not unlock, the Security Indicator turns off after one minute. To resume normal operation, ﬁ rst attach a power supply to the Tablet PC. Then you may unlock the Tablet PC.

Uninstalling The Security Panel Application

You have two options when uninstalling the security panel application:

• Remove passwords and uninstall the security panel application software. This will disable all security features.

• Uninstall the security panel application with password still active. This will not allow any changes to the password.

Uninstalling the Security Panel Application Software

Remove passwords when User wants no password protection whatsoever and doesn’t want to give anybody the utility to set a password on their computer. In this case, if passwords (supervisor, user, or both) are set, the passwords must ﬁ rst be cleared BEFORE removing the application. To clear passwords, follow same procedure in SETTING PASSWORD CODES except this time, select REMOVE, enter current password then click Next. When asked to conﬁ rm select Yes.

Page 40

Removing Security Panel Application with Passwords Still Active

Using this feature will not allow any changes to the password.

Removing the applications does not remove the password. It simply removes the utility to change/add/remove passwords. To change your password you must reinstall the application.

Page 46

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 ﬁ rst turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to ﬁ nd instructions to start up your Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you 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].

Starting Your Tablet PC

Power On

The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LifeBook T901 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 conﬁ guration 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.

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

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving proﬁ le, put your notebook into Suspend 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.

Power/Suspend/Resume Button

When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps* and your system will enter Suspend mode.

If your LifeBook is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not ﬂ ashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode.

(See Hibernation Feature)

* Only applicable for some models

Suspend Mode

Suspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your LifeBook notebook’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 notebook can be put in Suspend mode by:

• Pressing the Power/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.

Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the ﬁ le on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.

Page 48

If you are running your LifeBook notebook

on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your notebook is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully operational.

Disabling the Power/Suspend/Resume

button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled.

The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-

Disk) mode should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information. When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.

If your LifeBook notebook is actively

accessing information when you enter the Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode, changes to open ﬁ les are not lost. The ﬁ les are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Hibernation mode.

The main advantage of using the

Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) function is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leaving your LifeBook notebook in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.

Hibernation (Save-To-Disk) Feature

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.

Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature

Using Your Tablet PC

Power Off

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/ optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.

Be sure to close all ﬁ les, exit all applications, and shut down your operating system prior to turning off the power. If ﬁ les are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook 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.

3. Click OK to shut down your notebook.

If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more see Care and Maintenance Section.

Using ﬁ ngerprint authentication*

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

* NOTE:

This is only applicable for LifeBook with

Fingerprint Sensor.

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

Characteristics of ﬁ ngerprint 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. However, you have to enter the password each time when you log on to Windows.

With use of ﬁ ngerprint 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, you have to enter a password each time when your computer is recovered from the power-saving status.

With use of ﬁ ngerprint authentication, you

can recover from the power-saving status by authenticating fingerprints that have previously been registered, thus omitting entering 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 ﬁ ngerprint authentication, you can log

into these homepages by just authenticating ﬁ ngerprints if log-in information is previously memorized for speciﬁ c homepages.

Status for entering log-in information differs

depending on homepages; direct entering log-in information into homepages, and indication of screens speciﬁ c to entering. In either case, log-in using fingerprint authentication can be performed.

File and Folder Encryption

Besides managing passwords for the password-protected resources, OmniPass enables you to encrypt and decrypt ﬁ les and folders in your system. Encryption is converting your data to a form in which unauthorized user cannot read. Once a ﬁ le is encrypted, it needs to be decrypted so that the ﬁ le can be read or accessed.

To encrypt a ﬁ le or folder, right-click on it and selects OmniPass Encrypt File(s). You will be prompted to authenticate with OmniPass for the encryption.

If you choose to encrypt a folder, the folder and all the ﬁ les in this folder will be encrypted. Contents in C:\Windows and C:\Program Files and the folder where OmniPass is installed cannot be encrypted.

Encrypted ﬁ le will have the extension “.opf” whereas the encrypted folder will have the extension “.opef”.

To decrypt a ﬁ le or folder, right-click and select OmniPass Decrypt File(s). You will need to authenticate to OmniPass for the decryption process.

Page 58

As mentioned earlier, when encrypting a folder, the folder and all the ﬁ les in this folder will be encrypted. Files that are copied into this encrypted folder will also be encrypted. The ﬁ les in this folder can be read and modiﬁ ed and they will be encrypted automatically once saved and closed as long as they remain in that folder. In order to decrypt a ﬁ le in the encrypted folder, you can right-click on the ﬁ le and select Decrypt To….

You need to select a target location for the ﬁ le to be decrypted. However, the original encrypted ﬁ le will still remain in the encrypted folder.

Sample icon for encrypted ﬁ le versus icon for non-encrypted ﬁ le is shown above.

User-Installable Features

Lithium ion Battery

Your LifeBook T901 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 efﬁ ciency, 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 AC 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.

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 signiﬁ cant impact on battery life. The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery ages. If your battery is running low quickly, you should replace it with a new one.

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 signiﬁ cantly longer if your Tablet 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.

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, your Tablet PC will beep every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator will ﬂ ash. 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 guarantee that your data will not be lost once the Tablet PC reaches this point.

Page 70

Q 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 ﬂ ash. 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.

Q When you are in Standby mode there

must always be at least one power 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 power, 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 ﬂ ashing 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.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your Tablet PC.

Battery Compartment

Replacing the Battery

Your LifeBook T901 Series Tablet PC comes with one battery pack; you might want to consider purchasing a spare. By keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can immediately swap with one that is not charged. There are two ways to swap batteries: cold-swapping and warm-swapping. Cold swapping means swapping batteries when the system has been powered down; warm swapping is performed when the system is in Standby mode.

Port Replicator

An optional Port Replicator is available from Fujitsu to support your LifeBook T901 Series Tablet PC. The Port Replicator extends the functionality of your Tablet PC by providing ports to connect USB devices, an external monitor, external speaker, or a LAN device. The Port Replicator connects to the bottom of your Tablet PC.

Rear Panel Components

Following is a brief description of the optional Port Replicator’s rear panel components.

1. External DVI Port

The external Digital Video Interface (DVI) port

allows you to connect an external digital ﬂ atpanel monitor or projector. This provides a pure digital video signal for digital monitors.

2. USB 2.0 Ports

The four USB 2.0 ports allow you to

connect USB devices such as game pads, pointing devices, and keyboards. USB 2.0 is downward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices, so older USB devices will work with these ports. USB 2.0 is a much faster design, running 40 times faster than USB 1.1.

3. Display Port

You can use this port to connect to a TV with

DisplayPort for high quality video output. The DisplayPort supports both video and audio output.

4. External Monitor Port

The external monitor port allows you to

connect an external monitor. Note that if a Port Replicator is attached, you must use the external monitor port on the Port Replicator. (Figure 4-8)

5. LAN (RJ-45) Jack

The LAN jack allows you to connect a LAN

to the Port Replicator. Note that when the system is attached to the Port Replicator, the LAN Jack on the Port Replicator should be used, not the one on the system.

6. Line Out Jack

The line out jack is used for connecting an

external speaker. Note that line out does not provide power, so the speaker must be externally powered.

7. DC Power Jack

The DC power jack allows you to plug in the

AC adapter to power your Tablet PC and charge the internal Lithium ion battery.

(Figure 4-9)

Port Replicator Release Latch

Slide the Port Replicator Release Latch sideways to remove the Port Replicator from your Tablet PC.

(Figure 4-9)

Power On/Off Button

The Power On/Off button on the port replicator performs the same as the system Suspend/ Resume button. The Power On/Off button allows you to suspend Tablet PC activity without powering off, resume your Tablet PC from standby mode, and power on your system when it has been shut down from the Windows operating system.

Figure 4-10. Attaching the Port Replicator

Before docking or undocking your notebook with the port replicator, be sure to touch a grounded metal object to prevent electrostatic discharge from affecting the computer components.

Attaching the Port Replicator

To attach the Port Replicator, align the Port Replicator connector on the bottom of your Tablet PC with the connector on the Port Replicator and push together at the two corners.

(Figure 4-10)
