.
Ctl-Alt-Del is the only Application button that can be used while the system is logging on or when the system is locked (i.e., when you have the Logon or Computer Locked window showing on your desktop).
Description
lows you to log on after boot, after locking the workstation, or after resuming from power manage ment.
After log-on, pressing the Ctl-Alt-Del button for two seconds launches the Windows Task Manager.
When you press the Right-click button, you pen switches its function from left mouse button to right mouse button emulation. To generate a right mouse button click, tap on the application button once and then tap on the display.
When you press the Fn + Right-click buttons at the same time, they provide a Hovering function. Hovering mode provides you with better cursor control. When hovering is enabled, the cursor can be positioned over an area of the scree without activating it. This is useful when you are attempting to read pop-up text associated with an icon, simulating mouse rollover, selecting a small icon, or beginning a paint session. Note that when Hovering Mode is active, the Hovering Mode Status Display LED is lit (see Tab le 1-2). Pressing the Fn + Right-click buttons at the same time again exits the Hovering function.

Description
When you press the Orientation button, the system screen orientation changes from portrait (vertical) to landscape (horizontal) or from landscape to portrait. When you would like to use the tablet as an eBook, for example, you would use the portrait orientation, when accessing spreadsheets, you would more typically use a landscape orientation.
The Escape application button acts the same way as an Escape key on a keyboard.
When you press the Fn + Esc buttons at the same time*, they act to invoke a pre-determined application or generate a combination keystroke, as assigned the T ablet Button Settings utility. (You can change the settings in Control Panel ->
Tablet Button Settings). By default, pressing the Fn + Esc combination acts the same
as if you had pressed Ctl + Esc on a keyboard: the Start menu is launched.
The Enter application button acts the same way as an Enter key on a keyboard.
Pressing the Fn + Ent buttons at the same time*, acts to invoke a pre-determined application or keystroke combination, as assigned the Tablet Button Settings utility. (You can change the settings in Control Panel -> Tablet Button Settings).
By default, pressing the Fn + Ent combination acts the same as if you had pressed Alt on a keyboard: it selects a main menu in the typical Windows application.
The Function button works in conjunction with the other application buttons to provide additional functionality for the buttons. Refer to specific details above.*
Pressing the Fn button twice in succession (within the “sticky time*), causes the Fujitsu menu to appear on your screen, allowing you to modify certain system settings.
Table 1-3 Application Buttons - Primary and Secondary Functions
* The Fn button has a handy “sticky” feature that allows you to press the two buttons in immediate
succession, rather than at exactly the same time. After pressing the Fn button, you have a short time (2 to 3 seconds) to press the second button. Note that this feature is not available with
the Right-Click/Hovering button.

NAVIGATION BUTTONS
Getting Started
The two navigation buttons are located on the lower right-hand side of a vertically-oriented system. Each of the buttons can be toggled by pressing either end of the button.
The buttons have dual functions. The secondary funtions are activated by pressing the Function (Fn) button while pressing the application button*.
The buttons also have separate tertiary functions that can be used while the system is

TERTIARY FUNCTIONS OF APPLICATION AND NAVIGATION BUTTONS
While you are booting up your system, the Application Buttons and Navigation buttons can be used for entering and navigating through the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS), and for invoking the Advanced Options Menu, where you can enter different modes (such as Safe Mode).
The BIOS is a program and a set of parameters that are stored in ROM which tests and operates your Pen Tablet PC from when you turn it on until
it loads your installed operating system from disk. Information from the BIOS is transferred to the operating system to provide it with information on the configuration and status of the hardware.
The system is booting up while the Fujitsu logo is displayed immediately after turning on the system. The table below indicates how the buttons act while the system is booting up and while you are in the BIOS.
Buttons/Icons
Purpose (when pressed while the system is booting up)
Pressing the Ctl-Alt-Del button while the system is booting up takes you into BIOS setup. This is the same as if you had tapped [F2] on a ke yboard.
Pressing the Right-Click button while the system is booting up opens the Boot Options menu. This is the same as if you had tapped [F12] on a keyboard.
Pressing the Orientation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the selected item (if applicable) to change to the next item. Pressing this is the same as tapping the spacebar on a keyboard.
Pressing the Esc button while the BIOS is open acts to escape from the BIOS. This is the same as if you had tapped [Esc] on a keyboard.
Pressing the Ent button while the BIOS is open acts the same as the [Ent] button on a keyboard.
Pressing the Fn button while the system is displaying the operating system boot menu opens the Advanced Operating System Options menu. This menu allows you to enter different operating system modes (such as Safe Mode). Pressing this button is the same as if you had tapped [F8] on a keyboard.
Pressing the top half of the upper navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move up. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Up on a ke yboard. This f eature is also functional in the operating system boot menu.
Pressing the bottom half of the upper navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move down. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Down on a keyboard. This feature is also functional in the operating system boot menu.
Pressing the top half of the lower navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move right. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Right on a keyboard.
Pressing the bottom half of the lower navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move left. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Left on a keyboard.
