Touchpad Pointing Device

Certain S7100 LifeBook notebooks are
equipped with an optional “Quick Point”
button for moving the cursor. For more
information about Quick Point, see
“Optional Quick Point Feature” on
page 17.

The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your
Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the
movement of the pointer to select items on your display
panel. The Touchpad is composed of a cursor control,
two left and two right buttons, and a scrolling button.
The purpose of the upper left and right buttons is to
facilitate use of the optional cursor control button.

Certain configurations of the LifeBook
S7100 notebook have an optional finger­print sensor instead of a scrolling button.
For information on using the optional fin­gerprint sensor, refer to “Fingerprint Sen­sor Device” on page 111.

An external mouse can be connected to
either the USB port on your LifeBook note­book or the USB or PS/2 ports on the
optional port replicator, and used simulta­neously with the Touchpad. However, if
you boot the system with an external
mouse connected the Touchpad will be
disabled or enabled depending on the
specifications in your BIOS settings.

(See
BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more
information)

CLICKING

Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left­click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select,
press the left button once, and then immediately release
it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you
wish to select, press the right button once, and then
immediately release it. You also have the option to
perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the
Touchpad once. (Figure 2-13)

The cursor control works the same way a mouse does,
and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires
light pressure with the tip of your finger. The left and
right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The
actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending
on the application that is being used. The scrolling
button allows you to navigate quickly through pages,
without having to use the scroll bars. (Figure 2-12)

DOUBLE-CLICKING

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does
not function with the right button. To double-click,
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press
the left button twice, and then immediately release it.
You also have the option to perform the double-click
operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.

(Figure 2-14)

Figure 2-14 Double-clicking

■

If the interval between clicks is too
long, the double-click will not be
executed.

■

Parameters for the Touchpad can be
adjusted from the Mouse Properties
dialog box located in the Windows
Control Panel.

TOUCHPAD CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

The Windows Control Panel allows you to customize your
Touchpad with selections made from within the Mouse
Properties dialog box.

SCROLLING

Using the Scrolling button allows you to navigate
through a document quickly without using the window’s
scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navi­gating through on-line pages. To use the Scrolling
button, press the crescent shape at the top or bottom of
the button to scroll up or down a page. When you have
reached the desired section of the page, release the

button. (Figure 2-16)

If your system configuration has an
optional fingerprint sensor instead of a
scrolling button, there is no button to click.
Instead, scrolling is performed by the sen­sor’s motion detector. For information on
using the optional fingerprint sensor, refer
to “Fingerprint Sensor Device” on
page 111.

DRAGGING

Dragging means pressing and holding the left button,
while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to
the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left
button while moving the item to its new location
and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the
Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item
you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on
the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its
new location by moving your finger across the
Touchpad, and then release your finger. (Figure 2-15)

Figure 2-15 Dragging

Figure 2-16 Scrolling

OPTIONAL QUICK POINT FEATURE

The optional Quick Point device consists of a cursor
control button at the lower center of the keyboard. It is
roughly the same size and shape as a pencil eraser. The
cursor control works the same way a mouse ball does,
and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires
light pressure to move; the more pressure you use, the
faster the cursor will move.

When used with the Quick Point button, the middle
Touchpad button allows you to scroll up and down a
screen. As noted earlier, the purpose of the upper left
and right buttons is to facilitate use of the optional
cursor control button.

Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.

Any software that contains audio files will
also contain a volume control of its own. If
you install an external audio device that
has an independent volume control, the
hardware volume control and the software
volume control will interact with each
other. It should be noted that if you set
your software volume to Off, you will
override the external volume control
setting.

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

■

The volume can be controlled in several different
ways:

■

Volume can be set from within the Volume Control
on the Taskbar.

■

Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 function
keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will
decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [F9]
repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume
of your notebook.

■

Volume can be controlled by many volume controls
that are set within individual applications.

■

Certain external audio devices you might connect to
your system may have hardware volume controls.

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the
volume level that must then be followed by the other
sources.

Volume muting can be toggled on and off by pressing
[F3] while holding the [Fn} button.

We recommend that you experiment with the various
volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.
