Figure 2-11. Opening the display

Display Panel

Your LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC contains a display
panel that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environ­ments. The convertible design of your Tablet PC allows
you to open the display fully, rotate it in either direction
180 degrees, and lay it face up on the keyboard. This
allows you to use the system as a tablet, much as you
would a pad of paper.

OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL

1. Press the latch release button. This releases the
locking mechanism. While holding the latch release,
lift display cover.

2. Lift the display backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen with your fingers, until it is at a
comfortable viewing angle. (Figure 2-11)

USING THE SYSTEM AS A TABLET

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 returning the system
to notebook mode, be sure to observe the
display rotation light. Rotate the system

display only in the direction indicated by
the light. Turning the display in the
incorrect direction could cause hinge
damage.

2. When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard,
rotate it 180 degrees in either direction (Figure 2-15)
so that it is facing backwards. (Figure 2-16)

3. Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it
forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard.

4. Push the latch towards the display (See “A” in
Figure 2-12). The latch will pivot so the top latch
disappears, and the bottom latch appears (See “B” in
Figure 2-12). Holding the latch down, lay the display
flush against the system so that the latch engages.
You can now use your system as a tablet. (Figure 2-

17)

Figure 2-12. Latching/Unlatching

5. To return the system to notebook configuration,
repeat step 3 and 2. Be sure to turn the display in the
direction indicated by the display rotation light
(Figure 2-13).

18

In the following step, be sure to position
the display perpendicular to the keyboard,
otherwise the keyboard or display cover
could get scratched.

1. Lift the display until it is perpendicular to the
keyboard. (Figure 2-14).

ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS

Once you have turned on your Tablet PC, you may want
to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more
comfortable viewing level. There are three ways to adjust
the brightness, keyboard, power management utility,
and Fujitsu Menu.

Figure 2-15. Rotating the display

Using Keyboard to Adjust Brightness

Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the
system setting (i.e., the settings you make via the func­tion keys automatically changes the brightness settings
in the system’s Pen and Tablet Settings).

■

[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness
of your display.

■

[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the
brightness of the display.

Using Power Management to Adjust Brightness

To adjust brightness with the power management utility,
click Start -> Control Panel -> Tablet and Pen Settings
(Windows XP) or Tablet PC Settings (Windows Vista).
Select the Display tab and set the screen brightness slider
for battery and AC power scenarios.

Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust Brightness

To adjust brightness using the Fujitsu menu, click on the
Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray in the lower right
corner of the screen (or double-click the Function
button). From the menu that appears, select Brightness
Control. The Tablet and Pen Settings window will open.

Select the Display tab and set the screen brightness slider
for battery and AC power scenarios.

If using AC power, your brightness setting
is set to its highest level by default. If using
battery power, your brightness settings is
set to approximately mid-level by default.

The higher the brightness level, the more
power the Tablet PC will consume and the
faster your batteries will discharge. For
maximum battery life, make sure that the
brightness is set as low as possible.

USING THE KEYBOARD

Your LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC has an integral
84-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard
functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows
keys and other special function keys. This section
describes the following keys. (Figure 2-18)

■

Numeric keypad: Your Tablet PC allows certain keys
to serve dual purposes, both as standard characters
and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to
toggle between the standard character and numerical
keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key.

■

Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow
keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the
right, left, up, or down within windows, applications
and documents.

■

Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12],
are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce
special actions that vary depending on what program
is running.

■

Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows
operating system and function the same as the
onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on
your pointing device.

NUMERIC KEYPAD

Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as
both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys.
NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] key.
Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way.
Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0
through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ),
multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal
points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function
keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the
front edge of the key to indicate their secondary func­tions. (Figure 2-18)

WINDOWS KEYS

Your LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC has two Windows
keys: a Start key and an Application key. The Start key
displays the Start menu. This button functions the same
as your onscreen Start menu button. The Application
key functions the same as your right mouse button and
displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please
refer to your Windows documentation for additional
information regarding the Windows keys.) (Figure 2-18)

CURSOR KEYS

The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard
which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left, and
right in applications. In programs such as Windows
Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up,
down, left, or right). (Figure 2-18)
