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

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 turn it back to its original position (i.e., the reverse of how you turned it when you
opened it. Turning the display in the incorrect direction could cause hinge damage.
• 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.
1Press the latch button and lift the display until it is perpendicular to the keyboard. (Figure 10).
2When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard, rotate it 180 degrees in either direction (Figure 11) so that
it is facing backwards.
3Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard.
4Push the latch towards the display (See “A” in
Figure 9). The latch will pivot so the top
disappears, and the bottom latch appears
(See
“B” in Figure 9). Holding the latch down,
lay the display flush against the system so
th
at the latch engages. You can now use your
system as a tablet. (Figure 12)

Using the Touchpad
The touchpad is built into your LifeBook Tablet PC. It is used to control the movement of the cursor to
select items on your display panel. The touchpad is composed of a cursor control below the center of the
keyboard, two buttons below it, and a scroll sensor on the right edge of the cursor control. The left button
functions the same as a left mouse button while the right button has the same function as a right mouse
button. When used with the cursor control, the scroll sensor allows you to scroll up and down a screen.
The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used.

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, refer to
“Using the Optional Capacitive Touchscreen” on
page 50.
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.

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
To 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.

LIFEBOOK TABLET PC ON THE
Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet
PC’s BIOS. When your LifeBook Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it
needs to find instructions to start up your Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time
you power up or restart your Tablet PC, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until
your operating system is loaded. During booting, your Tablet PC 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.
70
- Starting Your LifeBook Tablet PC
The boot sequence is executed when:
• You turn on the power to your LifeBook Tablet PC.

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 Button
When your Tablet PC is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put the Tablet
PC into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button when the Tablet PC is active, but not
actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button.
If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button 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 Tablet 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 button when your system is turned on.
76
- 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 button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source
available, or your Tablet PC will not resume.

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.

- Power Management
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 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.

Your LifeBook Tablet PC has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your Tablet 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 charge 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 TABLET PC. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR AC ADAPTER, OPTIONAL
UTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER, ANOTHER BATTERY OR YOUR TABLET PC ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVENT
A

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. To 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.
AKE SURE THAT THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS INDICATED BY THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR ON
M
STATUS INDICATOR PANEL.
THE
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 Tablet PC into Sleep
mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 76 for more
information on Sleep mode and shutdown procedure)

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.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your
Tablet 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 button 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.
83

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:
