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

ENERGY STAR® Compliance
Your Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR® qualified mobile PC. By choosing a computer with the latest energy-saving technology, you’re helping to preserve our environment for future generations.
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Energy, Natural Resources Canada, and other governments around the world
helping us save money while protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. With energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, Fujitsu is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment.
Sleep Mode:
You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of user inactivity, and the computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When going into Sleep mode, the computer also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network links. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, slide the Suspend/Resume switch.
Energy saving benefits:
Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment – saving half in utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.

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 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 keyboard.

System States

Before you begin using your Tablet PC, review the different system states (or modes) that the system can use. Being familiar with these states will help you determine whether it is appropriate to turn on, sleep, hibernate or shut down the system when you begin or end a session. System behavior for each system state is described briefly in the following, with each system state listed in decreasing order of power usage:
On state: The system is running and the display screen is on.
Idle state: Som
may be turned off. The system returns to the On state when pen activity or other input is detected.
e system functions are regulated or turned off to conserve power. The display screen
43
Sleep mode (S3): System operation is suspended. Most system functions are turned off to conserve
power. Power to memory is on, maintaining data in programs that were running before system operation was suspended. The system does not respond to the pen or other input when in Sleep mode. Refer to the “Resuming System Operation” section later in this chapter for information on returning the system to the On state.
Hibernate mode (S4): System operation is suspended. All system functions are turned off to
conserve power. Active data in programs that were running before suspending system operation is stored on the hard disk drive. The system does not respond to the pen or other input. Refer to the “Resuming System Operation” section later in this chapter for information on returning the system to the On state.
Off state: All system functions are turned off to conserve power. The system does not respond to
the pen or other input. The system boots at the next system power-on.
THE SYSTEM CONSUMES THE SAME AMOUNT OF POWER WHETHER IT IS IN HIBERNATE MODE OR THE
FF STATE.

Shutting Down

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.
BE SURE TO CLOSE ALL FILES AND EXIT ALL APPLICATIONS 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 notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:
Windows Vista: Click the [Start] button, and then move the mouse over the small arrow at the bottom right of the right-hand pane. Select Shut Down from the list.
Windows XP Tablet PC: Click the [Start] button, click Turn Off Computer, and then select the Tur n off option.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more, see the Care and Maintenance section.

Suspending System Operation

The Tablet PC allows you to suspend the system operation without closing programs or exiting the operating system. Use this feature to conserve battery power when a system shutdown is not practical or when the battery needs to be changed.
IF YOU HAVE SET YOUR SYSTEM TO TURN POWER OFF FROM THE POWER OPTIONS UTILITY IN THE
ONTROL PANEL, THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE, SINCE PRESSING THE BUTTON
C
SHUTS THE SYSTEM DOWN RATHER THAN SUSPENDING IT. TO CHANGE YOUR POWER OPTIONS, GO TO
TART -> SETTINGS -> CONTROL PANEL -> POWER OPTIONS.
S
50
- Starting the Tablet PC
To suspend system operation:
1 Slide the Suspend/Resume switch, or carry out the Sleep command from your operating system or power
management program. (If your system is configured to suspend operation using Hibernate mode, which is explained later in this procedure, a message is displayed while data is saved to your hard disk.)
2 The Power icon either flashes (Sleep) or is not displayed (Hibernate) when system operation is suspended,
depending on how your system is configured. At this point, programs that were running are stopped, active data is saved, and the system enters one of two different low-power states, or sleep modes, as explained in the following paragraphs.
IF YOU ARE REPLACING THE BATTERY, WAIT UNTIL SYSTEM OPERATION IS SUSPENDED AND THE POWER
ICON IS FLASHING BEFORE YOU REMOVE THE BATTERY. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF
YOUR UNSAVED DATA. (NOTE THAT IF THE RESUME ON LAN FUNCTION IS ENABLED IN THE BIOS SETUP, YOU SHOULD NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS SHUT DOWN. WHEN RESUME
ON LAN
IS ENABLED, THE BRIDGE BATTERY IS DISABLED IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE BATTERY LIFE.)
3 Observe the Power icon in the Status display to determine which suspend mode your system is using.
Power icon is blinking: Sleep mode.
In this mode, active data is saved by maintaining power to RAM while most other system components are powered off. The Battery Gauge icon in the Status display indicates the battery charge level.
Power icon is not displayed: Hibernate mode.
In this mode, active data is stored on the hard disk drive and power usage is reduced to the same level used in the Off state. When the system is in Hibernate mode, the Battery Gauge icon is not visible in the Status display. In this mode, there is no danger of losing data if battery power is lost.
If you have successfully performed this procedure, system operation is now suspended. Refer to “Resuming System Operation” later in this chapter to resume system operation. Also, note the following with regard to suspending system operation:
51
- Starting the Tablet PC
You can remove the battery while the system is in Sleep or Hibernate modes in order to install a
charged battery. To prevent losing unsaved data, wait until system operation has suspended before you remove the battery. Note that after you remove the battery, you have approximately five minutes to replace it with a new battery or to plug in a power supply before the bridge battery is depleted.
Your system may be configured to suspend operation automatically after a period of inactivity.
Your system may be configured to enter Hibernate mode automatically after a period of time in
Sleep mode.
The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Sleep mode. Eventually, the battery will
become fully discharged.
IF YOU WILL NOT BE USING THE SYSTEM FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM RATHER
THAN USING SLEEP MODE.
If the battery charge drops to a Low-Battery Warning level while the system is running, the system
will beep periodically. If this occurs, suspend system operation, shut down the system, or attach an external power source, such as the AC adapter, to the Tablet PC.
If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is running, the system is forced
into a Sleep or Hibernate mode. If this occurs, you must either install a charged battery, or connect an external power source such as the AC adapter before you can resume system operation. (If the charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is in Sleep mode, the system stays in that mode until power is restored or totally dissipated.)
Suspending system operation interrupts data communications; therefore, some programs may block
the system from suspending to prevent an interruption.
52
- Starting the Tablet PC
The suspend action of the Suspend/Resume switch may be disabled to prevent accidental
interruption. If this is the case, sliding the Suspend/Resume switch will not suspend system operation as described here. (In this case, sleep mode can only be achieved using the system software). Contact your local help desk or reseller if your system configuration is not suitable.
If your system is equipped with a PC Card that allows you to connect to a wired or wireless network,
you may be logged off the network after a period of inactivity while system operation is suspended. Contact a network administrator or help desk, or call Fujitsu Service and Support at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487) for details on your network log-off parameters.

Resuming Operation

To resume operation from either Sleep or Hibernate modes, slide the Suspend/Resume switch.
From Sleep mode
Status lights indicate that the system state is changing. It may take up to a minute before the system returns to the On state and system operation resumes. Note that the display turns on shortly before the pen becomes active due to the power-up sequences observed by the system.
From Hibernate mode
Active data is read from the hard disk drive, and the system returns to the On state after a short time.
NOTE THAT POWER TO SEVERAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS MUST BE RESTORED BEFORE SYSTEM
OPERATION RESUMES. ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR SYSTEM OPERATION TO RESUME BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE SYSTEM. IF YOUR SYSTEM USES HIBERNATE MODE, IT WILL TAKE LONGER TO RESUME OPERATION AS COMPARED TO USING SLEEP MODE. TIME IS NEEDED TO READ DATA FROM THE HARD DISK DRIVE.
Use the system as you normally would once system operation resumes. All programs resume at the point where execution stopped when system operation was suspended.

You can use the Stylistic ST6000 Series pen to generate and create electronic “ink”, to select items, and to navigate through programs on the Tablet PC. Programs that support handwriting recognition also allow you to write characters directly on the screen with the pen. You can also use the pen as a drawing tool.
Figure 10. Stylistic ST6000 pen
THE STYLISTIC ST6000 PEN IS A SOPHISTICATED, HIGH-QUALITY ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT THAT CAN BE DAMAGED
IF USED IMPROPERLY. TREAT THE PEN AS YOU WOULD ANY PRECISION DEVICE. THE FOLLOWING LIST CONTAINS GUIDELINES FOR PROPER PEN HANDLING:
DO NOT USE THE PEN AS A POINTER OR TAP IT ON SURFACES OTHER THAN THE TABLET SCREEN.
DO NOT TRY TO TURN THE THUMB GRIP ON THE PEN; IT IS DESIGNED FOR INSER TING AND REMOVING THE
PEN FROM THE PEN HOLDER AND FOR ATTACHING A PEN TETHER.
NEVER STORE THE PEN WITH THE TIP BEARING THE PENS WEIGHT PEN (E.G., SITTING TIP DOWN IN A PENCIL
CUP). STORING THE PEN TIP DOWN COULD DISTORT THE INTERNAL MECHANISM OVER A PERIOD OF TIME
ESPECIALLY IN HIGHER TEMPERATURES), CAUSING THE TIP TO ACT AS IF IT IS ALWAYS DEPRESSED. TO AVOID
(
DAMAGE, STORE THE PEN IN THE PEN HOLDER WHEN NOT IN USE.
The screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately 1/8 inch (3-5 mm) from the screen. The pen has four switches: a tip switch, a barrel button toggle switch with switches at both ends, and an "eraser" switch, located on the end of the barrel. By default, the tip switch corresponds to the left mouse button, and the
59
- Using the Pen
front toggle (closest to the pen tip) barrel button switch corresponds to the right mouse button (when used in combination with the tip switch). The rear toggle of the barrel button switch and the eraser switch at the end of the barrel act as electronic ink “erasers”.
The rear toggle, eraser, and tip click pressures can be changed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel, and double-clicking Fujitsu Pen Settings (XP) or Pen and Input Devices (Vista) icon. Note that the rear toggle switch and the eraser switch are both affected by the same settings; they cannot be changed individually.
To change rear toggle and eraser button functions, select the drop-down list to select a new function, then click [Apply]. If you don’t want the rear toggle and button switch to have any function, select Ignore.
Adjusting the click pressure determines how much pressure must be put on the pen tip in order for the screen to react. The softer it is set, the less pressure required; the harder it is set, the more pressure required. To change the click pressure, use the slider bar to make the click pressure harder or softer, then click [Apply].
ENSURE THAT A SCREEN PROTECTOR IS INSTALLED ON THE TABLET PC SCREEN BEFORE YOU USE THE PEN.
HE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER A SCRATCHED SCREEN.
T
USE ONLY THE PEN PROVIDED WITH YOUR TABLET PC. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTES THAT WERE NOT DESIGNED
FOR THE STYLISTIC ST6000 SERIES TABLET PC.
Here are some hints that may help you use the pen more effectively:
To activate the tip switch, tap or hold the pen tip against the screen.
To activate the barrel button switch, press and hold the end of the button you wish to use (front
toggle is the right mouse button switch; the rear toggle acts as an electronic “eraser”).
To move the cursor, hold the pen tip within 1/8 inch (3 - 5mm) from the screen and move the pen.
To start a program, double-tap the pen tip (tap the pen tip twice rapidly) on the program icon as you
would double-click a mouse.
To select an object, tap the pen tip on the object once.
To “double-click” an object, tap twice on the object quickly.
60
- Using the Pen
To move, or “drag”, an object on the screen, place the pen tip directly over the object, then as
you hold the pen tip against the screen, move the pen.

Calibrating the Pen

In order to ensure accurate tracking between the pen and cursor, you must run the Touch Screen Calibration Utility before you use the active digitizer for the first time, or after you change the display resolution.
To run the calibration utility:
1 Go to Start -> Control Panel and double-click on the Tablet and Pen Settings icon.
2 Click Calibrate....
3 Adjust the display of your Tablet PC to a comfortable angle. 4 Using the pen, firmly touch the screen directly on the (+) symbol; the (+) symbol will move to the next location. 5 Repeat step 4 in the four corners, then click OK.

Installing a Pen Tether

To prevent dropping or losing your pen, you should attach it to the system using the pen tether that is included with the system.
To attach the pen tether to your Tablet PC, perform the following steps:
1 Attach the end of the pen tether with the smaller loop to your pen. Do do so, push the end of the tether through
the hole in the pen, then thread the opposite end of the tether through the loop.
2 Attach the end of the pen tether with the larger loop to the attachment point on your pen tablet. To do so, insert
the end of the pen tether through the attachment point, then feed the pen through the large loop in the tether.

- Using the Pen
Figure 11. Installing a Pen Tether

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 your pen exhibits these problems, you should replace the pen tip. To do so, use the pen tip removal tool included with your pen.
To remove the tip, position the tip in the gap between the two ends of the tool. Pinch the tool together so the tip is firmly clasped, then pull it from the barrel. If the tip is worn or damaged, discard it.
To replace the tip, retrieve one of the new tips that accompanied your pen. Insert the flat end of the tip into the barrel and push it in firmly until it is seated.
If you need more tips, they can be ordered from the Fujitsu website at: us.fujitsu.com/computers.

Lithium ion Battery

Charging the Battery
The Stylistic ST6000 Series battery can be charged while it is installed in the Tablet PC. To charge the battery:
1 Connect a DC power source, such as the AC adapter, to the DC input connector on the Tablet PC. The DC Input
icon appears in the Status display. If the battery charge is below 90%, the battery begins charging and the Charging icon appears in the Status display. If the battery charge is 90% or higher when you connect DC power, the battery will not charge, preventing battery overcharging.
2 Look at the Battery Charge icon in the Status display to determine the percent of charge in the battery. See
“Status Display” in Chapter 1 of this manual for a description of the Battery Charge icon.
As long as DC power remains connected to the Tablet PC, the charging process continues until the battery charge reaches 100%.
Also note the following with respect to charging the battery:
You can use the system, suspend system operation, or shut down and turn off the system without
interrupting the charging process; however, using the system while the battery is charging will cause the battery to charge at a slower rate.
As noted in the procedure above, the system will not begin charging the battery if the battery charge
level is 90% or higher when the system is initially connected to external DC power. (This prevents the battery from being overcharged.)
The battery uses Lithium ion battery cells which have no “memory effect.” You do not need to
discharge the battery before you begin charging.
Removing and Installing the Battery
The battery can be removed from the Tablet PC and swapped with a charged battery. The battery can then be charged in an external charger if one is available.

Tips for Conserving Battery Power
You can extend the charge life of your battery by conserving battery power. (Your results may vary depending on your application and how the system is configured.) Here are some suggestions to help you conserve battery power:
Use an external power source such as the AC adapter whenever the system is docked.
Suspend system operation if you know that you won’t be using the system for a while.
Shut down the system if you won’t be using the system for an extended period of time.
Switch the wireless LAN switch Off when wireless LAN functionality in not needed (applicable
only for systems with optional wireless LAN).
Use power management (available from the Power Options in the Control Panel) to help you
conserve power automatically.
Reduce the brightness of the LCD.
Battery life is dependent upon the operating system, power settings, and applications in use.

Operation of the Bridge Battery

When installed in the Tablet PC, the battery provides power to some system components—even when the system is in the Off state. When the battery is removed, power is supplied to these components by a “bridge” battery that is built into the Tablet PC.
The bridge battery is not designed for long-term operation. To maintain the bridge battery properly, observe the following measures:
THE BRIDGE BATTERY FUNCTION IS DISABLED IF WAKE ON LAN IS ENABLED IN THE BIOS.
THE SYSTEM ARRIVES WITH THE BRIDGE BATTERY IN A DISCHARGED STATE. BE SURE TO CHARGE IT
SUFFICIENTLY BEFORE RELYING UPON IT TO SUPPORT THE SYSTEM IN THE EVENT OF BATTERY REMOVAL.
To prevent draining the bridge battery, always store the system with a charged battery installed.
If the bridge battery becomes drained, it takes approximately 8 hours for it to be fully recharged.
65
- User-Installable Features
The bridge battery charges when the AC Adapter is connected and the system is in On or Off states
or Sleep mode. It charges from the battery only when the system is in the On state.

Memory Stick/SD Card Slot

Your Tablet PC supports Memory Stick and SD flash memory cards on which you can store and transfer data to and from a variety of digital devices. These cards use flash memory architecture, which means they don’t need a power source to retain data.
Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed by Sony Electronics. Memory Stick allows you to record, transfer and share digital content, such as digital pictures, movies, music, voice, and computer data and applications.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory Sticks, but they are shorter. Like the Memory Stick, SD Cards allow portable storage among a variety of devices, such as cell phones, GPS systems, and digital cameras. SD Cards transfer data quickly, with low battery consumption. It uses flash memory architecture.

- Caring for your Tablet PC

Protecting the Display Screen

The Stylistic ST6000 Series Tablet PC is designed to provide you with years of service. Using a screen protector will help ensure the screen remains as clear as possible. When installed, the screen protector becomes a durable, replaceable writing surface that protects the display screen from abrasion.
/
To obtain additional screen protectors, use Fujitsu part number FPCSP24AP (6-pack) when ordering. Additional information about installation is included with the screen protectors.
DURING NORMAL USE OF THE TABLET PC, SMALL PARTICLES FROM THE ENVIRONMENT CAN BECOME
EMBEDDED IN THE PEN TIP AND SCRATCH THE SCREEN. TO PREVENT SCRATCHING THE SCREEN,
ENSURE THAT A SCREEN PROTECTOR IS INSTALLED BEFORE USING YOUR TABLET PC. THE
WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER A SCRATCHED SCREEN.
To install a new screen protector on your Tablet PC:
1 If a screen protector is already installed on the display screen, remove it before installing the new screen
protector. The screen protector is held onto the display screen surface by a thin strip of adhesive around the edges.
2 Clean the display by wiping the screen gently using a soft cotton cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure
that all residue has been removed from the screen before applying a new screen protector. Remove the protective coating from the adhesive side of the screen protector first.
THE STYLISTIC ST6000 SERIES TABLET PC IS NOT WATERPROOF. DO NOT POUR LIQUIDS ON THE SYSTEM
OR WASH IT WITH A HEAVILY SOAKED CLOTH.
DO NOT PLACE ITEMS ON THE TOP OF THE DISPLAY, OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
3 Apply the screen protector to the display screen surface. When doing so, orient the screen protector with the
adhesive side of the screen protector facing the display screen as shown in Figure 20.
4 Apply pressure to the screen protector with your finger using a continuous wiping motion along the edges. The
adhesive sets completely within 48 hours. To ensure a good seal between the screen protector and the display, do not lift the screen protector from the display once it has been applied.
5 Remove the protective plastic cover from the face of the screen protector, as shown in Figure 21.

Troubleshooting

Solutions to some common problems are described in the following sections. If you are experiencing a problem with your Tablet PC that you cannot solve by taking the actions described, contact your local help desk or reseller, or call Fujitsu Service and Support at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487) for further assistance.
System Will Not Resume Operation
If the system will not resume operation after system operation has been suspended, check the following:
The battery may either be defective, or discharged to a critically low level. When the battery reaches
a critically low level, the system is forced into Sleep mode to avoid a total system power failure. To correct this problem, either connect an external power supply (such as the AC adapter), or install a charged battery in the Tablet PC.
The system may be at the critical thermal limit. To avoid damage to heat-sensitive components, the
system enters sleep mode when it gets too hot. System operation cannot be resumed until the Tablet PC cools off to a tolerable temperature. Move the Tablet PC to a cooler location.
Display Screen Blank or Difficult to Read
If the display screen on your Tablet PC appears blank or is unreadable, confirm that the system is running (the Power icon is displayed continuously on the Status display), and check the following:
The system brightness may be set too low, causing the screen to appear too dark. To change system
brightness, press the Fn button twice to open the Fujitsu menu. Brightness can be adjusted from the menu.
The video timeout may have expired. Tap on the display screen to reactivate the display. Note that
this is a normal, power-saving feature.
Cursor Is Not Tracking Pen
If the cursor on the screen appears to be misaligned with the pen or is not accurately tracking the pen, calibrate the pen. See “Calibrating the Pen” on page 61 for more information.
76
- Troubleshooting
Infrared Data Transfer Is Not Working
If you are experiencing problems transferring data over the system’s infrared interface, note the following:
Can the IrDA port on the Tablet PC “see” the IrDA port on the other device? A direct line-of-sight
path must exist between the IrDA port on the Tablet PC and the IrDA port on the other device.
The distance between the two devices must not be more than 3 feet.
The viewing angle from the IrDA port on the Tablet PC must not be more than 15 degrees from a
center line between the IrDA port on the Tablet PC and the IrDA port on the other device.
The device with which you are trying to communicate must be compliant with the IrDA Standard
Revision 1.1 (or 1.0).
It may be necessary for both computers to be using the same network connection protocols.
Tablet PC is Not Responding to the Pen
If the Tablet PC does not respond to the pen, connect an external keyboard to the system to see if it responds to keyboard commands. If the system doesn’t respond to a keyboard, the application or system may have crashed, and it may be necessary to reboot the system. If the system responds to a keyboard but not to a pen, contact your local help desk or reseller, or call Fujitsu Service and Support at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487) for further assistance.
Speaker/Headphone Volume Too Low
If the audio volume on your Tablet PC speaker or external headphones is too low, check the following:
Ensure the speaker (or headphone output if using headphones) is enabled. To do so, open the
Control Panel and double-click on the Sounds and Audio Devices icon. Select the proper tab, and increase the volume using the slider bar. (If you aren’t getting any sound, uncheck the Mute box if it is checked.)
Press the Fn button twice to open the Fujitsu menu. Volume can be adjusted from the menu.
Ensure the mute box in the system volume control (accessible from the system tray) is not set.
Ensure any volume control in your audio software is set to an audible level.
77
- Troubleshooting
Configuring Peripheral Interfaces
Certain peripheral devices can be disabled during the BIOS Setup. If the peripheral interface you want to use does not appear to be working with your peripheral device, ensure that it is enabled in the BIOS. Contact your local help desk or reseller, or call Fujitsu Service and Support at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-
5487) if you need assistance using BIOS Setup.

Restoring the Included Software

Copies of your system images, applications, and drivers are available in three locations: Drivers and Applications Restore disc: Your system comes with a Drivers and Applications Restore
(DAR) disc that contains copies of your pre-installed drivers and applications. Hard Drive-based Factory Image: On your desktop, there is a [Make Factory Recovery DVD] icon that
allows you to make copies of your original factory image (with the possible exception of certain third­party applications which will need to be installed separately using the application media bundled with your system). Having a copy of your factory image allows you to recover your system in the event of a hard disk failure. It is vitally important that you make a DVD backup copy of the factory image when you first set up your system. Note that the factory image is stored in a hidden partition in order to ensure that it is not inadvertently damaged.
User-Configured System Backups: On your desktop, there is a [MyRecovery] icon that allows you to make backups of your current system image either to another location on your hard drive or on removable media. Backups can be made on a regular basis so that you can restore your system to a previous state.
IN ORDER TO INSTALL APPLICATIONS AND DRIVERS, AND TO MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM
IMAGES, YOU MUST HAVE AN EXTERNALLY CONNECTED DVD DRIVE.
78
- Restoring the Included Software

Drivers and Applications Restore Disc

The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) disc included with your system contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your computer configuration.
I
F YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET, VISIT THE FUJITSU SUPPORT WEBSITE AT HTTP://WWW.COMPUTERS.US.FUJITSU.COM/SUPPORT TO CHECK FOR THE MOST CURRENT INFORMATION, DRIVERS, AND SYSTEM UPDATES.
Re-installing Individual Drivers and Applications
The Drivers and Applications Restore disc can be used to selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted.
THERE MAY BE CERTAIN FREE THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS PRE-INSTALLED ON YOUR SYSTEM THAT
ARE NOT ON THE DAR DISC. THE LATEST VERSIONS OF THE APPLICATIONS CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE THIRD-PARTYS WEBSITE.
THE DAR DISC IS BOOTABLE. IF YOUR SYSTEM IS SET TO BOOT FROM THE DVD DRIVE, YOU CAN
AUTOMATICALLY BOOT TO THE RECOVERY AND UTILITIES TOOL.
To re-install drivers and/or applications:
1 Attach an external DVD drive to your system. 2 Boot up the system and insert the DAR disc into the external drive after Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer
screen is displayed after the disc is inserted.
3 After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree]. 4 A window will appear containing a list of applications, drivers, and utilities that you can install from the DAR disc.
THE COMPONENTS LISTED ARE COLOR-CODED IN TERMS OF THEIR INSTALL STATUS. BLUE INDICATES
THAT THE COMPONENT CAN BE INSTALLED. GREEN INDICATES THAT THE COMPONENT NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED SEPARATELY. GREY INDICATES A COMPONENT THAT IS ALREADY INSTALLED; GREY ITEMS CAN BE REINSTALLED, BUT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION YOU WILL RECEIVE A REMINDER THAT THE COMPONENT IS ALREADY INSTALLED.

Recovering Factory and System Images

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU STORE COPIES OF YOUR FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES ON
REMOVABLE MEDIA. THAT BEING THE CASE, YOU MUST HAVE AN EXTERNALLY CONNECTED DVD DRIVE.
The Factory Image is a near-copy of everything that was on your system when you first purchased it. Due to certain legal limitations, some third-party applications will need to be installed separately using the application media bundled with your system.
A System Image is the configuration of your system at a particular point of time. You will want to make system image backups occasionally in order to have points to which you can return without having to go all the way back to the Factory Image.
To use the factory and system recovery utilities, please follow the instructions in the “Using the Recovery Utilities” manual that is bundled separately with your system.

Automatically Downloading Driver Updates

Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to check for new updates for your system.
The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to [Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver Update; this will create the icon automatically.

Regulatory Notes and Statements

Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use
Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions, however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use by consumers because they operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN devices may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as:
On board an airplane, or
In an explosive environment, or
In situations where the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.
In cases in which the policy regarding use of Wireless LAN devices in specific environments is not clear (e.g., airports, ho
spitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, private buildings), obtain authorization to use these devices prior to operating the
equipment.

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.
Export restrictions
This product or software contains encryption code which may not be exported or transferred from the US or Canada without an approved US Department of Commerce export license.

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.

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 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.).
