• CD-ROM drive
All of the software you need to run the CDROM drive is already installed on the
ST4000 series system. The drive will work
as soon as the system is docked and
powered up.
• Combo DVD/CD-RW drive
Packaged with the Tablet Dock is a CD that
contains the applications required to run the
DVD and CD/RW features. The combo drive
will only act as a CD-ROM drive until you
install the additional software. To install the
additional software, refer to the instructions
on the CD.
The instructions for installing and removing disks
is the same for both drives. For information about
the software’s features and capabilities, refer to
the help files associated with the related
applications.
Prolonged use of the media drive, such
as watching a DVD movie, will
substantially reduce your battery life if no
other power source is attached. Be sure
to attach an AC Adapter when using the
Tablet Dock for prolonged tasks.
All Fujitsu DVD players are set to play
DVD titles with region code number 3
which is specified for the Asia Pacific
market. The region number is a regional
restriction code defined by the DVD
Forum consortium. Different region codes
are recorded on video DVD titles for
publication in different areas of the world.
If the regional code of the DVD player
does not match the regional codes on the
titles, then playback is impossible.
You can change the region code on the
DVD pla yer using the Properties menu of
the DVD software. Note, however, that
you can only change the region code up
to four times. After the f ourth change, the
last region code entered becomes
permanent, and cannot be changed.
