sages on page 75 for more information)

BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s BIOS. When your LifeBook notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your notebook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

■

You turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook.

■

You restart your notebook from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

■

The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.

■

You reset the system by pressing the three keys [CTRL+ALT+DEL].

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your LifeBook notebook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environment to operate your notebook.

The BIOS Setup Utility configures:

■

Device control feature parameters, such as changing I/O addresses and boot devices.

■

System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.

Entering the BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:

1. Turn on or restart your LifeBook notebook.

2. Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will open the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.

When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Registering Windows with Microsoft

In order to ensure that you receive the most benefits from the Windows operating system, it should be registered the first time you use it.

After you receive the Windows Welcome screen, you will be prompted to enter registration information in the following order.

First of all, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs). After accepting the EULAs, you will be asked if you want to enable the Automatic Updates feature. Acceptance of this feature is recommended because it allows your system to be updated automatically whenever an important change becomes available for your notebook.

You will then b e automat ically connected to the Internet, if you have an appropriate connection available. If an automatic connection is not possible, you will be asked about how you dial out from where you will be using your LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line and plan to register at a later time, you may click the Skip button.

Once you are connected to the Internet, you will be asked if you wish to continue with the registration. If you select Ye s you will then enter your name and address, and email address if desired. Click Next to complete registration.

REGISTERING YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK

How do I register my LifeBook notebook?

You can register your LifeBook by going to our Web site:

us.fujitsu.com/computers

You will need to be set up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to register online.

INSTALLING CLICK ME!

ClickMe!

The first time you boot up your system, you will see an icon called Click Me! in the Start menu. When you click the Click Me! icon, your system will automatically build the icon tray in the bottom right of the screen. These icons provide links to utilities that you will frequently access.

■

P7010.book Page 27 Wednesday, June 1, 2005 3:39 PM

Power Management

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention, such as those for the internal modem. 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 notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled 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 notebook into Suspend 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.

SUSPEND/RESUME/POWER ON BUTTON

When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Suspend/ Resume/Power On button can be used to manually put your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the button when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and your system will enter Suspend mode. (See figure 2-3 on page 6 for location)

If your LifeBook notebook is suspended, pushing the Suspend/Resume/Power On button will return your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-3 on page 6) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode.

Getting Started

■

Timing out from lack of activity.

■

Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

You can change the actions the computer takes when the lid is closed or buttons are pressed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel. Double-click the Power Options icon and select the Advanced tab.

Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open application(s) information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Suspend/Resume/Power On button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.

■

If you are running your LifeBook notebook on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your notebook is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully operational.

■

Disabling the Suspend/Resume/Power On button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend or Hibernation mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled.

■

If your LifeBook notebook is actively accessing information when you enter the Suspend or Hibernation mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Hibernation mode.

The Suspend or Hibernation mode should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information.

SUSPEND MODE

Suspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be put in Suspend mode by:

■

Pressing the Suspend/Resume/Power On button when your system is turned on.

■

Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.

When PC Cards 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.

HIBERNATION FEATURE

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.

(See figure 2-3 on page 6) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk or PC Card 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, 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.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility.

WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT

Power Management

The Power Management icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters. The settings may also be changed in the BIOS.

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:

1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2. Select the Shut Down option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.

User Installable Features

Lithium ion Battery

Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery (and possibly an optional modular battery) that provides power for operating your notebook 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 (41°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The charging indicator on the Status Indicator panel will flash red for the affected battery (battery 1 or 2) when you try to charge a battery that is outside of operating temperature range.

(See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more information)

■

When using a high current device such as a modem, DVD/CD-RW drive, or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.

Do not leave a faulty battery in your LifeBook notebook. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your notebook itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery.

RECHARGING THE BATTERIES

If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level 1 indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes. If you want to know the condition of the secondary modular Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level 2 indicator located on the Status Indicator panel.

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LifeBook notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.

Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel.

Indicators on page 12 for more information)

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 notebook is in use while the battery is charging.

If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management

on page 27 for more information)

(See Battery Charging

■

Battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences.DVD, CD-RW, CD-ROM, 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. Take care of our environment by disposing of batteries properly. Check with your local government authority for information on 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)

Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM 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 notebook will go into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point

P7010.book Page 32 Wednesday, June 1, 2005 3:39 PM

LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section Four

■

Once the low battery notification message appears, you need to save all your active data and put your system into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, AC power adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.

■

When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you turn off the power or remove all power sources while your LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

Battery Release Latches

Figure 4-1 Removing the Battery

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your notebook 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 Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.

In Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the charging 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 notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel battery charging icons will blink red to indicate a shorted battery or battery problem. This indicates that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your LifeBook notebook.

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.

Swapping Batteries when Additional Power Source is not Available

To swap batteries in your battery bay when you don’t have another power source available (such as an AC Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)

1. Have a charged battery ready to install.

2. Shut down your notebook.

3. Press and hold the battery release latches to open the bay. (Figure 4-1)

4. Remove the battery from the bay.

5. Place the new battery into the bay. (Figure 4-2)

6. Verify that the battery bay latches click into place.

Figure 4-2 Installing a battery

Swapping Batteries when another Power Source is available

LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section Four

USING THE OPTICAL DRIVE ON BATTERY POWER

Since an optical drive consumes a lot of power, your overall battery life will be shorter when operating the drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movies run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook 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.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.

2. Start watching your DVD movie.

3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the DVD/CD-RW application

■

Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as when watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your notebook’s battery life.

■

An additional fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on battery power. If you don’t have an additional battery, you may purchase one either on-line at us.fujitsu.com/computers or call 1-877-372-3473.

Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life while operating the optical drive cannot be guaranteed.

AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTION

The Auto Insert Notification function allows your LifeBook notebook to automatically start a DVD/CD as soon as it is inserted in the optical drive and the tray is closed. Your notebook will begin playing an audio DVD/CD or will start an application if the DVD/CD includes an auto run file.

To prevent a CD from playing automatically as soon as it is inserted, refer to the related help file for your specific operating system.

EMERGENCY TRAY RELEASE

In the event that your system does not have power applied, you can still open the media tray using the end of an opened paper clip. To open the tray, insert the paper clip into the emergency tray release hole on the fact of the tray (Figure 4-7). The tray will pop open.

If you do not stop the optical drive quickly and the LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the notebook will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to install a fresh power source (either a charged battery or AC Adapter).

4. Connect an AC Adapter to your system, or install a fully charged battery in the Flexible Bay (after removing any modular devices that may be present in the bay) prior to removing the main battery.

5. Manually place your notebook into suspend mode by depressing the Suspend button then replace the discharged battery with a fully-charged battery.

6. If you removed the optical drive from the Flexible Bay in step 4, reinstall it now.

7. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This step is not required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode.

8. Restart your DVD/CD-RW application and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.

9. Continue watching your DVD movie.

The memory upgrade module is not something you routinely remove from your LifeBook notebook. Once it is installed, you should leave it in place unless you want to increase system memory capacity.

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY

Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure to check that your notebook has recognized the change.

Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under “Computer:”.

There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that your system uses a video graphics chip which dynamically allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance. Up to 64 MB of memory is dynamically shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video Memor y Technology (DVMT).

User Installable Features

If the total memory displayed is incorrect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. (If the module is

properly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see Troubleshooting on page 67.



Intel PRO/Wireless LAN card ( WM3B2915ABG)



Atheros Wireless LAN card (WLL4070)

Characteristics of the WLAN Device



The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the main board of the mobile computer.



The WLAN devices operate in license-free RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to operate. The WLAN devices operate in the

2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band and in the lower and middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands.



The WLAN devices are capable of three operating modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.



Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode.



The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b mode.



The maximum communication range indoors is approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that range will increase or decrease depending on factors such as number of walls, reflective material, or interference from external RF sources.



The WLAN device supports the following encryption methods - WEP, CKIP, TKIP, and AES encryption.

WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE

Ad Hoc Mode

(See Figure 5-1)

"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.

Figure 5-1. Ad Hoc Mode Network

P7010.book Page 51 Wednesday, June 1, 2005 3:39 PM

WIreless LAN User’s Guide

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

(See Figure 5-2)

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 can communicate with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases.

How to Handle This Device

The WLAN device comes 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.

WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS

■

The Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG and Atheros AR5002X WLAN devices support IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.

■

The WLAN devices operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.

■

The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the maximum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than 80 feet, depending on factors such as access point

transmit power, number and density of obstructions, or external RF interference.

■

Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same

2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.

■

Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz frequency range may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the WLAN device.

DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Deactivation of 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.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device:

■

Using the Wireless On/Off Switch

■

In Windows, using the Intel PROSet Software or

Atheros Client Utility software.
