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 Canada. 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/ 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

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

AND/OR TOUCH PANEL.
25
- Active Digitizer/Touchscreen
5 Using the stylus or your finger (depending upon which type of input you are calibrating), firmly touch the screen
directly on the (+) symbol. Lift the stylus from the screen and the target will move to a different screen location.
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
satisfied with the screen’s calibration, press the [Calibrate]) button to begin again.
Using the Capacitive Touchscreen
This Tablet PC has 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.
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.
Right-clicking the touchscreen
To 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.
Generic Gesture Mode
Your tablet has a few gestures to which it responds, as detailed below. (Note: In order to enjoy a much more robust set of gesture actions, you should install N-act™ using the Bonus Apps utility. See “Using N-act™” on page 28). 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.
26
- Active Digitizer/Touchscreen
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. To 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.
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.
27
- Active Digitizer/Touchscreen
Using N-act™
N-act™ multi-touch application allows you to interact directly with the screen. N-act lets you use 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-finger gestures to perform a number of actions that make using your tablet all the more enjoyable. To start N-act, you must first install it using the Bonus Apps utility (see “Installing Bonus Apps” on page 41). The following table explains briefly what each of the gestures does.

- Starting Your STYLISTIC Tablet PC
When you power on your STYLISTIC, 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 STYLISTIC Tablet PC will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 60. 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 POST, your Tablet PC will load your operating system.
NEVER TURN OFF YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED
WHEN YOU TURN YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC ON THE NEXT TIME.
See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 60.
Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet PC’s BIOS. When your STYLISTIC 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 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 STYLISTIC 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.

Power Management

Your Fujitsu STYLISTIC Tablet PC has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention. 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 Tablet PC 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 profile, put your Tablet PC into Sleep 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 Switch
When your Tablet PC is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume switch can be used to manually put the Tablet PC into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when the Tablet PC is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button.
If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch returns it to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your Tablet PC is fully operational. If the indicator is visible not visible, the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernation mode.
Sleep Mode

- Power Management
Your Tablet PC’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode, your Tablet PC will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume switch to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your Tablet PC will not resume.
IF RUNNING YOUR TABLET PC ON BATTERY POWER, BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DISCHARGE WHILE YOUR TABLET PC IS IN SLEEP
MODE, THOUGH NOT AS QUICKLY AS WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL.
DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME SWITCH PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THE TABLET PC INTO SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE.
T
HE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION CANNOT BE DISABLED.
IF YOUR TABLET PC IS ACTIVELY ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE, CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT
LOST. THE FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS KEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEP MODE OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE DURING HIBERNATION MODE.
THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR DATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF
YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR TABLET PC 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 Feature
The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your Tablet PC’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. Hibernation is enabled by default.
Defining Power Button Action
To determine what occurs when the power button is pressed, follow these steps:
1 From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then select the Power Options icon. 2 Select “Choose what the power button does”, then make your selections (Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut
Down).
Windows Power Management
The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the Tablet PC on battery power or one of the adapters.

- Power Management
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 move the mouse over the small arrow at the bottom right of the right-hand
pane.
2 Select Restart from the list.
TURNING OFF YOUR STYLISTIC TABLET PC WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR TABLET PC WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE SYSTEM
BEING SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU START THE NEXT TIME.
Powering Off
If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your Tablet PC shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.
B
E SURE TO CLOSE ALL FILES, EXIT ALL APPLICATIONS, AND SHUT DOWN YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE POWER. IF FILES 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 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 move the mouse over the small arrow at the bottom right of the right-hand
pane.
2 Select Shut Down from the list.

User-Installable Features

Lithium Polymer Battery

Your STYLISTIC Tablet PC has a Lithium Polymer 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 Polymer battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C (41° to 95° F). 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 an external optical 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, OPTIONAL AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER, OR YOUR TABLET PC
ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVENT OPERATION OF YOUR TABLET PC BY DRAINING ALL AVAILABLE CURRENT INTO THE BAD BATTERY.
45
ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, FEATURES, POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION
AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. 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 RUNNING LOW QUICKLY, YOU SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.
UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW IT MAY BE ILLEGAL TO DISPOSE OF BATTERIES BY PUTTING THEM IN THE TRASH. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF OUR
ENVIRONMENT AND DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY FOR DETAILS REGARDING RECYCLING OR DISPOSING OF OLD BATTERIES. IF YOU CANNOT FIND THIS INFORMATION ELSEWHERE, CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE AT 1-800-
8FUJITSU (1-800-838-5487)
Recharging the Batteries
If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium Polymer battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium Polymer battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your STYLISTIC Tablet PC and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.
M
AKE SURE THAT THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS INDICATED BY THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR ON THE STATUS INDICATOR PANEL.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium Polymer battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly 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 Sleep mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 42 for mor e information on Sleep mode and shutdown
procedure)
SING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES OR FREQUENT EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE ACCESSES MAY PREVENT CHARGING COMPLETELY.
U

- Lithium Polymer Battery
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to the low message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens, your Tablet PC will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the Tablet PC reaches this point.
ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUT YOUR TABLET PC INTO SLEEP MODE
UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY, AN AC POWER ADAPTER, OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF YOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR
STYLISTIC T
ABLET PC IS IN SLEEP 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 Sleep 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 Power/Suspend/Resume switch 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.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel indicator associated with the Battery Level indicator displays the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows a flashing red LED, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your STYLISTIC Tablet PC.
Replacing the Battery
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:
Cold-swapping Batteries

Infrastructure
A name of a wireless LAN configuration. This type of communication uses an access point. Another type of communication is called Ad Hoc.
IP Address
An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address.
Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates.
The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. Three regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following three classes.
Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks The number of unassigned Internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme called CIDR is gradually
replacing the system based on classes A, B, and C and is tied to adoption of IPv6.

In Lithium-ion batteries, the electrolyte is stored in an organic solvent; in LiPoly batteries, it is stored in a solid polymer composite. The advantages of LiPoly over Lithium-ion include lower cost, better adaptability, reliability, and ruggedness.
MAC Address
Media Access Control Address. A unique physical address of a network card. For Ethernet, the first three bytes are used as the vendor code, controlled and assigned by IEEE. The remaining three bytes are controlled by each vendor (preventing overlap), therefore, every Ethernet card is given a unique physical address in the world, being assigned with a different address from other cards. For Ethernet, frames are sent and received based on this address.

SDRAM
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory.
Serial Port
A connection to another device through which data is transferred one bit at a time on a single wire with any other wires only for control of the device not for transfer of data.
Shared key authentication
802.11 network authentication method in which the AP sends the client device a challenge text packet that the client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no key, authentication will fail and the client will not be allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentication is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the same challenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the key.
86
-
SSID
Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security to the network.

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposure have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
The wireless LAN radio device has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.

Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device
Ad Hoc Mode
“Ad Hoc Mode” refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

Access Point*
Wireless LAN
*An optional hub for a wired LAN may be required depending upon the type of access point used.
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the WLAN in order to access services, devices, and computers (e.g., file servers, printers, databases).

How to Handle This Device
The WLAN device is an optional device that may come pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The operating system that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.
The Wireless LAN devices support IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.
The WLAN devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.
Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the same 2.4 GHz
frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.
Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN devices in
IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN device.
Deactivating/Disconnecting the WLAN Device
Disconnecting the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). The WLAN device can be deactivated by using the Wireless On/Off Switch, and it can be disconnected in Windows using the WLAN icon in the system tray (Note that disconnecting via the icon in the system tray does not turn off the radio; it continues to transmit and receive even though it’s not connected.)
