Recycling your battery

Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence
for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of
the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.

Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment by
recycling old batteries at no cost to you.

RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and C anada. To find the location
nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org

or call 1-800-822-8837.

If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/)
and search for a convenient disposal location.

Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should make every effort to protect it for current and future
generations.

* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com in the US or

www.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks in Canada.

** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with

Fujitsu.

Calibrating the Display

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

To run the calibration utility:

1 Go to Start -> Control Panel.
2 Double-click the Tablet PC Settings icon and select the Display tab
3 Click the [Calibrate] button, then select whether you want to calibrate pen input or touch input.
4 Adjust the display of your Tablet PC to a comfortable angle and find the (+) symbol in the upper-left corner of

the display.

5 Using the stylus or your finger (depending upon which type of input you ar e calibrating), firmly touch the screen

directly on the (+) symbol. Lift the stylus from the screen and the target will move to a different location on the
screen.

6 Repeat step 5 until you have selected all of the (+) symbols.
7 Once you have selected all the symbols, press the [OK] button.
8 Touch the stylus to various points on the screen to verify that the screen is correctly calibrated. If you are not

- Active Digitizer/Touchscreen

Using the Capacitive Touchscreen

Certain configurations of this Tablet PC have an optional dual digitizer that allows you to use either the
stylus or your finger(s) as a pointing device. This type of display also allows you to use “gestures” to
perform such actions as scroll, zoom, and rotate.

Right-clicking the touchscreen

T o perform a right-click action using two fingers, press the first finger at the location you want to perform
a right-click, then quickly tap and release the second finger on the screen.

Gesture Mode 

To initiate gesture mode, two fingers must touch the screen within 200 ms of each other. If the second
finger touches the screen after 200 ms has elapsed, the second finger is ignored. If more than two fingers
touch the screen in that time, Advanced Gesture Mode is activated instead. When Gesture Mode is
activated, no cursor movement is sent to the system.

When both fingers are removed, Gesture mode ends. When a third finger is added, gesture mode ends and
Advanced gesture mode is activated. Note that if a gesture can’t be recognized, no action is taken. In that
case, remove both fingers from the screen and try again.

Scrolling Gesture

To scroll through long documents or on a web page, place both fingers on the screen (one finger quickly
followed by the second). If at least one finger has moved at least 3 mm, a scroll is considered. If both
fingers are moving in the same direction and parallel (given a tolerance of 5 mm), Scroll Mode is
activated. If one finger is stationary, it is not considered a scroll. If either finger is lifted, Scroll Mode is
canceled.

Zoom Gesture

The zoom gesture is especially helpful when viewing pictures. T o zoom in, place two fingers on the item
you want to enlarge (one finger quickly followed by the second), then spread them away from each other.

• GESTURE SUPPORT IS DETERMINED BY THE APPLICATION IN USE.

• THE STYLUS TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER FINGER TOUCH. IF THE STYLUS IS WITHIN ACTIVE RANGE OF

THE SCREEN, FINGER TOUCH WILL BE DISABLED.

• WHEN ONE FINGER IS USED ON THE TOUCHSCREEN, IT BEHAVES IN THE SAME MANNER AS A STYLUS.

27

- Active Digitizer/Touchscreen

If at least one finger has moved at least 10 mm, a zoom event is considered. If the distance between the
fingers has changed by at least 10 mm, and both fingers have stayed on approximately the same line, Zoom
Mode is entered. If either finger strays more than 10 mm from the "zoom line" created when the fingers
first made contact, the zoom is canceled.

To zoom out, place two fingers on the item you want to reduce (one finger quickly followed by the
second), then move them towards each other.

Rotate Gesture

To change the orientation of an object on the screen, place two fingers on the image you want to rotate
(one finger quickly followed by the second), then move them in opposite directions (as if you were turning
a knob). The direction the item turns is dependant upon the direction you move your fingers.

If at least one finger moves at least 12 mm, a rotate is considered. If one finger is stationary (moving less
than 5 mm in any direction), and the other is moving, a rotate is considered. If the fingers begin moving
in the same direction, the rotation is canceled. If the distance between the fingers changes by more than
10 mm, the rotation is canceled.

Accessing the OnScreen TouchPad

Your tablet has a handy on-screen touchpad that offers a variety of helpful functions. Features of the
OnScreen TouchPad include:

• Virtual Mouse Emulator: The Virtual Mouse Emulator works in much the same manner as a

hardware mouse. With the virtual mouse, you can scroll, drag, and click, as well as perform
[Ctl]+[Click] and [Shift]+[Click] actions.

• Application Launch/Key Macro: This window provides access to five pages, each of which can

contain up to twenty buttons. Each button can be programmed to open an application, a folder,
document, or key (such as [Esc], [ Alt+X] and [Page Up]).

• Digital Keyboard: This window provides a soft keyboard for use in mathematical procedures. It

works in much the same way as the Windows standard calculator.

To access the OnScreen TouchPad, go to the Start Menu > All Programs > Fujitsu OnScreen TouchPad.
To learn more about the utility, click on Usage and Help.

learn more, click the Help icon (it looks like a question mark) in the Nuance taskbar.

Caring for the Pen

Changing the Pen Settings

There are a few changes you can make to your pen settings in order to make it more suitable to your needs
(such as changing the pressure sensitivity). T o do so, go to Start > Control Panel and select one of the icon
views from the “V iew by:” dropdown. Click on the Pen and Touch icon to open the window from which
you can change a variety of pen settings.

• ONLY USE THE PEN PROVIDED WITH YOUR TABLET PC. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE PEN TIPS THAT WERE NOT

SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR YOUR TABLET PC. REPLACE THE STYLUS TIP IF IT IS WORN. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT
COVER A SCRATCHED SCREEN.

• WHILE WRITING, DO NOT TO SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF THE DISPLAY (E.G., WITH A WRISTWATCH OR BRACELET).

T

HE PEN OF YOUR TABLET PC IS AN ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT WHICH CAN BE DAMAGED IF USED INCORRECTLY.

HANDLE THE PEN WITH CARE. THE FOLLOWING LIST CONTAINS GUIDELINES FOR PROPER PEN HANDLING:

• DO NOT GESTURE WITH THE PEN OR USE IT AS A POINTER.

• NEVER USE THE PEN ON ANY OTHER SURFACE THAN THE SCREEN OF YOUR TABLET PC.

• DO NOT TRY TO TURN THE THUMB GRIP ON THE PEN.

• NEVER STORE THE PEN WITH THE TIP BEARING THE WEIGHT OF THE PEN. IF THE PEN IS STORED WITH THE TIP

POINTING DOWN, THIS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE PEN MECHANISM (PARTICULARLY UNDER HIGH
TEMPERATURES). IN THIS CASE THE PEN TIP MAY REACT AS THOUGH IT IS CONSTANTLY BEING PRESSED DOWN.

• THE PEN CAN BE INFLUENCED BY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS (CURSOR QUIVERS OR JUMPS). THERE MAY BE A FEW

AREAS ON THE SCREEN WHERE THE CURSOR QUIVERS SLIGHTLY IN SPITE OF PRESSING THE PEN DOWN FIRMLY.

Changing the Pen Battery

Figure 11. Replacing the Battery

• DO NOT REMOVE THE TIP OF THE PEN TO REPLACE THE

BATTERY; REMOVE ONLY THE CAP ON THE TOP OF THE PEN.

• THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY IS

REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED
BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL INSTRUCTIONS.

The pen contains a AAAA-battery . Before proceeding, be sure
to have a new battery available.

1 Remove the rear Pen Cap (Figure 11).
2 Remove the battery from the pen ba rrel.
3 Insert the new battery into the pen barrel in the same orientation

as the one that was removed.

4 Close the rear Pen Cap.

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 a problem like this should occur, you
should replace the pen tip.

1 Pull the tip from the barrel.
2 Using one of the new tips that were supplied with your pen,

insert the pointed end of the tip into the barrel and push it in
firmly until it is in place
