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

If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform the following steps.
The display can be rotated in either direction, but when returnin g the system to notebook mode,
be sure to turn it back to its original position (i.e., the reverse of how you turned it when you opened it. T urning the display in the incor rect direction could cause hinge damage. The scr een should rotate easily; if it does not rot ate easily , you are probably attempting to turn it in the wrong direction.
In the following step, be sure to position the display perpendicular to the keyboard, otherwise
the keyboard or display cover could get scratched.
It is important to note that no matter which mode your tablet is in, the latch should always be
engaged to prevent damage to it.

- Touchpad/Active Digitizer/Touchscreen
Active Digitizer Display
NOTE: Depending upon your system configuration, in addition to the active digitizer, you may also have a capacitive touch panel that responds to finger touch and touch gestures. (This configuration is called a “Dual Digitizer”.) For more information about the touchscreen, r efer to “Using the Optional Capacitive Touchscreen” on page 51.
The integrated active digitizer allows you to use the included stylus as a pointing device. You can use the stylus to click, double-click, drag items and icons, write text, or to draw like a pen or pencil in applications that support this behavior, such as drawing or painting programs. See the documentation that came with your application for details.

50
- Touchpad/Active Digitizer/Touchscreen
Using the Optional Capacitive Touchscreen
Certain configurations of this Tablet PC have 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
T o 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.
Gesture Mode
To initiate gesture mode, two fingers must touch the screen within one 10th of a second of each other. If the second finger touches the screen after one 10th of a second has elapsed, the second finger is ignored. Gesture mode ends when both fingers are removed from the screen. 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.
Scrolling Gesture
To scroll through long documents or on a web page, place both fingers on the screen and move them in parallel in the same direction; if only one finger moves, no scrolling will occur. You can scroll vertically or horizontally, depending upon the direction of the gesture.
Zoom Gesture
The zoom gesture is especially helpful when viewing pictures. To zoom in, place two fingers on the item you want to enlarge, then spread them away from each other. To zoom out, place two fingers on the item you want to reduce, 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, 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.

Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook Tablet PC has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.
Controlling the Volume
The volume can be controlled in several different ways:
Volume can be changed or muted from within the Volume Control in the system tray.
V olume can b e controlled with the F8 and F9 functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding
[Fn] will decrease the volume of your T ablet PC. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your Tablet PC.

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.
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.
Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

Power Management

Your Fujitsu LifeBook 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, pre­bundled 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 T ablet 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 T ablet 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 T ablet PC is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, the Tablet PC is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernation mode.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display , hard drive, and all other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting.
Your Tablet PC can be put in sleep mode by:
Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when your system is turned on.
77
- Power Management
Selecting “Sleep” after clicking [Start] then clicking the small arrow at the bottom right of the
window.
Timing out from lack of activity.
Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.
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.
n
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.
n
DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME SWITCH PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THE T
ABLET PC INTO SLEEP OR HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) MODE. THE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION
CANNOT BE DISABLED.
n
THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH CERTAIN EXPRESSCARDS. CHECK
YOUR EXPRESSCARD DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE INFORMATION. WHEN EXPRESSCARDS OR EXTERNAL DEVICES ARE IN USE, HIBERNATION MODE CANNOT RETURN TO THE EXACT STATE PRIOR TO SUSPENSION, BECAUSE ALL OF THE PERIPHERAL DEVICES WILL BE RE-INITIALIZED WHEN THE SYSTEM RESTARTS.
n
IF YOUR TABLET PC IS ACTIVELY ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER THE SLEEP OR HIBER-
NATION 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.
T
HE 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.
78
- Power Management
Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Feature
The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your T ablet PC’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.
Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature
The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature 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” or “Choose what closing the lid 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.
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 LIFEBOOK 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.
79
- Power Management
Powering Off
Before turning off the power , check that the hard drive/optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn of f 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.
BE 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.

ENERGY STAR® Compliance
Your Fujitsu system is an ENERGY ST AR® 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, press the Suspend/Resume Button.
Energy saving benefits:
Fujitsu ENERGY ST AR 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.

User-Installable Features

Lithium ion Battery

Y our LifeBook T ablet PC has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your T ablet 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 ion 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 char ge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.
When using a high current device such as a modem, external optical drive, or the hard drive, using
the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.
DO NOT LEAVE A FAULTY BATTERY IN YOUR T ABLET PC. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR AC ADAPTER, OPTIONAL A
UTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER, ANOTHER BATTERY OR YOUR TABLET PC ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVENT
OPERATION OF YOUR TABLET PC BY DRAINING ALL AVAILABLE CURRENT INTO THE BAD BATTERY.
82
ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, FEATURES, POWER
MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. OPTICAL DRIVE OR 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 ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. T o recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LifeBook 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 ion 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 T ablet PC into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery . (See Power Management on page 77 for mor e
information on Sleep mode and shutdown procedure)
83
- Lithium ion Battery
USING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES OR FREQUENT EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE ACCESSES MAY PREVENT
CHARGING COMPLETELY.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low , a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to the low battery 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.
n
ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE
DATA AND PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET PC INTO SLEEP MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY, AN AC POWER ADAPTER, OR
A
UTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
n
WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF
YOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET 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 T ablet 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.
84
- Lithium ion 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 LifeBook 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:

Using Media Player on Battery Power
Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when operating the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation.
MANY MOVIE RUN-TIMES ARE LONGER THAN YOUR SYSTEM CAN SUPPORT ON A SINGLE BATTERY. IF
YOU ARE WATCHING A DVD MOVIE ON BATTERY POWER YOU MAY NEED TO SWAP IN AN ADDITIONAL, CHARGED BATTERY OR ATTACH AC POWER DURING THE MOVIE TO VIEW IT IN ITS ENTIRETY.
AN ADDITIONAL FULLY-CHARGED BATTERY IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU WILL BE WATCHING DVD
MOVIES ON BATTERY POWER. IF YOU DONT HAVE AN ADDITIONAL BATTERY, YOU MAY PURCHASE ONE EITHER ONLINE AT: HTTP://WWW.COMPUTERS.US.FUJITSU.COM OR BY CALLING 1-877-372-3473.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.
1 2 Start watching your DVD movie. 3 When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the media player.
F YOU DO NOT STOP THE MEDIA PLAYER QUICKLY AND THE LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK ATTEMPTS TO AUTO-
I
SUSPEND (CRITICAL BATTERY LOW STATE) THE LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK WILL SHUT DOWN IMPROPERLY.
I
F THIS OCCURS, YOU MAY NEED TO PERFORM A HARD RESET AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, IF ANY,
PRESENTED TO YOU BEFORE THE SYSTEM WILL REBOOT.
4 Power down your notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-charged battery. If you
do not have an additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon as you see the low battery warning.
5 Resume operation by pressing the Suspend button again. This is not required if you attached AC power without
entering standby mode.
6 Restart your media player, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching, then continue
watching your DVD movie.
OME SHORTER DVD MOVIES MAY NOT REQUIRE YOU TO SWAP BATTERIES OR ATTACH AC POWER TO
S
COMPLETE THEM. HOWEVER, IT IS BEST TO BE PREPARED SINCE ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WHILE OPERATING THE OPTICAL DRIVE CANNOT BE GUARANTEED.
