PASSWORDS
The user and supervisor pas sword may be set on this Tablet PC. A supervisor password is typically the same for all Tablet PC’s and notebooks in a w ork gr oup , offic e, or company to allo w for system man agement. Indi vidual computers in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to five button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta­neously.
14
Setting Passwords
When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting a supervisor and user password. You must set the super­visor password before the user password.
The purpose of supervisor password is to be able to bypass the user password in case the user password is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not lock the system.
You must set the supervisor and user passwords for the security panel to work.
Getting Started
Setting Supervisor Password
You must have set a supervisor password before setting any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass the user password.
1. Go to the Start menu.
2. Click on Run.
3. Type in:

Using Your Stylistic ST5000
Using the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC
This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic system operation and use, and system function s of the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC. You should familiarize yourself with this information before you attempt to operate the system.
Prior to using your system, be sure to fully charge the battery if you plan to run on
battery power. Failure to do so may result in erratic performance.
SYSTEM STATES
Before you begin using the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC, review the diff er en t syst em stat es (o r modes) that the system can use. Being familiar with these states wil l help you determine whether it is appropriate to turn on, resume, suspend, 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 sys te m s t at e l isted in decreasing or de r o f po w e r usage:
On state: The system is running and the display screen is on.
Idle state: Some system functions ar e regulated or turned off to conserve power. The display screen may be turned off. The system returns to the On state when pen activity or other input is detected.
Suspend-to-RAM mode (S3): System operation is suspended. M ost system functions ar e 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 Suspend­to-RAM mode. Refer to the “Resuming System Operation” section later in this chapter for information on returning the system to the On state.
Hibernate mode (Save-to-Disk) (S4): System operation is suspended. All system functions are turned off to conserve power. Activ e data in programs that were running before suspending system operation is sto r e d o n t he ha r d dis k dri ve. 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 t o 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 pow er-on
.
The system consumes the same amount of power whether it is in Hibernate (Save-to­Disk) mode or the Off state.
Your system may be configured to enter some of these states automatically after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power.
When you use the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC, you can change the current system state in a number of ways, depending on the system ’ s curre nt state. To determine the current system state, observe the Power icon in the Status display. Table 2-1 on page 22 gives the different syst em states represented by the Power icon and describes how you can change the system state from the current state.

Table 2-1 Changing System States
* Information in Table 2-1 on page 22 is supplied to help you understand which system states your system can enter from
the current system state. Refer to the procedures on starting the system, shutting down the system, suspending system operation, and resuming system operation given later in this chapter.
Your system may be configured to use either Suspend-to-RAM mode or Hibernate mode.
POWERING UP THE TABLET PC
Follow the procedure below to start the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC. Before you begin, confirm that the system is in the Off state. To do so, observe the Status display. If the Power icon is not visible in the Status display, the system is in Off state or in Hibernate (Save­to-Disk) mode and i t is safe to perform this p roce dure. If the Powe r icon is visible (either blinking or on continu­ously), do not perform this procedure. See “System States” earlier in this chapter for details on modes repre­sented by the Power icon.
SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to shut down and turn off your system:
1. If system operation has been suspended, resume system operation. See “Resuming System Opera­tion” late r in this chapter for details.
2. Save your work and close all running programs.
3. Choose Shut Do wn from the Windows Start menu.
4. Carry out the Shut Down command.
The system is now in the Off state.
1. Ensure that the battery in your Tablet PC is sufficiently charged, or connect an external power source such as the AC adapter or auto adapter to your Tablet PC.
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 ba ttery needs to be changed.
After performing initialization, the system starts the operating system installed on the hard disk drive. Once the operating system is running, you can use the system.
22
If you have set your system to turn power off from the Power Options utility in the Control Panel, the following procedure will not be possible, since pressing the button shuts the system down rather than suspending it. To change your power options, go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Power Options.
Using Your Stylistic ST5000
To suspend system operation:
1. Press the Suspend/Resume button, or carry out the Standby command from your operating system or power manage ment program. (If your system is configured to suspend operation using Hibernate (Save-to-Disk) mod e, which is explained later in this procedure, a message is displayed while data is saved
to your hard disk.)
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.)
2. The Power icon either flashes (Suspend-to-RAM) 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 suspend modes, as explained in the following paragraphs.
3. Observe the Power icon in the Status display to deter­mine which suspend mode your system is using.
Power icon is blinking: Suspend-to-RAM 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 (Save-to-Disk) 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 su spended. Refer to “Resuming Syst em Operation ” late r in this chapter to resume system operation. Al so, note the following with regard to suspending system operation:
• You can remove the battery while the system is in Suspend-t o-RAM or Hibernate mod es in order to install a charged battery. To prevent losing unsaved data, wait until system operation has suspended before you remove the battery. Not e that after you remove the battery, you h ave a pproxim ately f ive minutes to replac e it with a ne w battery or to pl ug 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 Suspend­to-RAM mode.
• The system uses a small amount of battery power when in Suspend-to-RAM mode. Eventually, the
battery will become fully discharged.
If you will not be using the system for an extended period of time, shut down the system rather than using Suspend-to-RAM mode.
• If the battery charge drops to a Low-Battery Warning level while the system is running, the sys te m will beep periodically. If this occu rs, suspe nd sys te m operatio n, 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 pre-select ed mode (Suspend-to-RA M or Hibernate). If this occurs, you must either install a charged battery, or connect an appropriate external power source such as the A C adapter before you can resume system operation. (If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level while the system is in Suspend-to-RAM mode, the system stays in Suspend­to-RAM mode until power is restored or totally dissipated.)
• Suspending system ope ration interrupts data communications; theref ore, some programs may block the system from suspending to pr event an interruption.
• The suspend action of the Suspend/Resume button may be disabled to pr event accidental interruption. If this is the case, pressing the Suspend/Resume button will not suspend system operation as described here. (In this case, suspend 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 your network administrator or help desk, o r call Fujitsu Service and Support at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487) for details on log-off parameters for your network.
RESUMING SYSTEM OPERATION
To resume operatio n from either Susp end-to-RAM or Hibernate modes, press the Suspend/Resume button.
From Suspend-to-RAM mode Status lights indicate that the system state is changing. It may take up to a minute before the system ret urns 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 (Save-to-Disk) 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 Suspend-to-RAM mode. Time is needed to read data from the hard disk drive.
.
Use th e s ys te m as you normally would once system oper­ation resumes.
All programs resume at the point wher e execution stopped when system operation was suspended.
ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
There are three ways to adjust the brightness of your display:
Depending upon whether you are running your system on battery or AC power, the default screen brightness settings will be different. The screen brightness default for running on battery is lower than that on

USING THE PEN
You can use the Stylistic ST5000 Series pen to generate and create electronic “ink”, to select items, and to navi­gate through programs on t h e 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 2-1. Stylistic ST5000 Series Pen
The Stylistic ST5000 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 gesture with the pen, use it as a pointer, or tap it on surfaces other than the Tablet PC screen.
• Do not try to turn the thumb grip on the pen; it is designed for inserting and removing the pen from the pen holder and for attaching a pen tether.
• Never store the pen with the tip bearing the weight of the 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, the pen should be stored in the pen holder when not in use.

Gap
The screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately 1/8 inch (3-5mm) from the screen. The pen has three switches: a tip switch and a barrel button toggle switch with switches at both ends. When activated, the tip switch corresponds to the left mouse button, and the front toggle (closest to the pen tip) barrel button switch, when used in combination with the tip switch, corre­sponds to the right mouse button. The rear toggle of the barrel button switch acts as an electronic ink “eraser”.
• Ensure that a screen protector is installed on the Tablet PC screen before you use the pen. The warranty does not cover a scratched screen.
•Use only the pen provided with your Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that were not designed for the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC.
Here ar e some h int s th at ma y 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 t o 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.
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. (See Figure 2-2.)
Figure 2-2. Installing a Pen Tether
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.
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 unpredictabl e results when using the pen. If y o ur pen exhibits these problems, you should replace the pen tip. To do so, use the pen tip removal tool included with your pen.
To select an object, tap the pen tip on the object once.
To “double-click” an object, tap twice on the object quickly.
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
For information about calibrating your pen, re fer to the literature that came with the operating system.
INSTALLING A PEN TETHER
To prevent dropping or losing your pen, you should attach it to your system using the pen tether that is included with the sys tem.
To attach the pen tether to your Tablet PC, perform the following steps:
Figure 2-3. Tip Removal Tool
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 Web site at: www.fujitsupc.c om.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
The Stylistic ST5000 Series battery can be charged while it is installed in the Tablet PC.
To do so:
1. Connect a DC power source, such as the AC adapter, to the DC inpu t 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 Gauge 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 Gauge icon.
As long as DC power remains connected to the Tablet PC, the charging process continues until the battery charge reaches 100%. Charge times shown in Table 2-2, “Battery Charging Time" are for a fully discharged battery charging both while the T ablet PC is and is not in use.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BATTERY
The battery can be removed from the Tablet PC and swapped with a charg ed bat te ry. The battery can then be charged in an external charger if one is available. To remove the battery from the Tablet PC:
1. Choose one of the following:
• If a charged battery is available, you can suspend system operation. A built-in “bridge” battery will maintain the system in Suspe nd-to-R AM mode fo r about 5 minutes while the battery is removed; this allows time for replacement with a charged battery.
• If a charged battery is not available, save your work and close all running programs, then shut down the system or Hibernate (Save-to-Disk).
• Plug in an external DC power source.
2. Slide the battery release latch in the direction indicated. (See Figure 2-4 on page 26 for location).
3. Pull the battery away from the system, as shown in the illustration and remove the battery from the Tablet PC.
If you are using an external battery charger, refer to the instructions provided with the battery charger.
Under Federal, state, or local law, it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by putting them in the trash. Be sure to dispose of batteries in accordance with local government regulations.
To install the battery:
1. Orient the battery with the slides in the empty battery tray. Slide the battery into the tray and press it firmly until it is seated. When it is pro perly seate d, the battery release latch should return to position and lock the battery.
• As noted i n 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 hav e no “memory effect.” You do not need to discharge the battery before you begin charging.

Figure 2-4. Removing the Battery
Once the battery is installed, you can resume system operation or start and use your system normally.
Using Your Stylistic ST5000
TIPS FOR CONSERVING BATTERY POWER
You can extend the charge life of your b a ttery by conserving battery power. (Y our results may vary depending on your application and ho w 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.
• Use power management (available on the desktop) to help you conserve power automatically.
• 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.
MODEM CONNECTION
The internal 56 Kbps LAN/modem module installed in the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC has actual maximum transfer rates of 53 Kbps (receive), 33.6 Kbps (send), and 14.4 Kbps (fax). Download rates are limited to 53 Kbps in the United States due to FCC restrictions.
The Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC is designed to accept a standa rd R J-11 t elephone plug. C onnect the plug to the modem jack located on the left-hand side of the Tablet PC (See Figure 1-4 on page 5 for location). The tele­phone plug can be installed whether or no t the Tablet PC has power applied.
If you need assistance configuring the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC modem or LAN, con tact your local help desk or reseller.
PC CARD SLOT
The Stylistic ST5000 Series T ablet PC C ard slot allows yo u to install a Type I or Type II PCMCIA Card.
Installing a PC Card
To install a PC card, position the side with the arrow facing up (i.e., when looking at the tablet’s display side, the arrow o n the card should be visible.) Slide the card into the PC Card slot, and press it firmly to ensure proper seating. (See Figure 2-5 for location)
If you need assistance installing a PC Card in the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC, contact your corporate help desk or reseller.
• 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.
• The bridge battery charges when the AC Adapter is connected and the system is in On or Off states or Suspend mode. It charges from the battery only when the system is in th e On state.

Care and Maintenance
This chapter gives you pointers on how to care for and maintain your Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC.
PROTECTING THE DISPLAY SCREEN
The Stylistic ST5000 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 FPCSP03AP (5-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 sc reen pr ot ecto r is a lre ady insta lled on th e disp la y screen, remove it before installing the new screen protector.
.
Figure 3-1 Removing the Protective Sheet
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 and the notched corner of the screen protector oriented as shown in Figure 3-2.
The screen protector is held onto the display screen surface by a thin strip of adhesive around the edges. A notch in one corner of the screen protector allows you to slide your fingernail under the screen protector for easy removal.
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 scree n prote ctor firs t, as shown in
Figure 3-1.
The Stylistic ST5000 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.
Figure 3-2 Installing the screen protector
4. Apply pressure to th e 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 betwee n 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 3-3.

Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC User’s Guide – Section Three
6. Clean any residue left behind by the protective coating from the exposed surface of the screen protector by wiping gently with a soft cotton cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the screen protector with a soft dry cloth to remove any low­tack adhesive; this will help prevent the pen tip from squeaking.
The screen protector is now installed.
STORING THE TABLET PC
Store the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC in the Off state with a fully charged battery installed. You can store the Tablet PC in the Off state for about 30 days with a fully charged battery installed. After this period, the battery should be recharged or replaced with a charged battery.
If you inte nd to st ore the Tablet PC for a longer period of time, the small battery tha t maintains system time may need to be replaced. Replac ement of the clock battery should only be performed by au thorized technicians.
AVOIDING OVERHEATING
The Tablet PC monitors its internal t emperature. As the internal temperature approaches the tolerable limits of heat-sensitive components, system functions are auto­matically limited or turned off to prevent damage.
To avoid overheating the Tablet PC, do not obstruct the air vents on the top and bottom edges of the Tablet PC.
CLEANING THE DISPLAY SCREEN
To clean the Tablet PC display screen, wipe the screen surface gently using a soft cotton cloth slightly damp­ened with water or isopropyl alcohol.

Tablet PC or wash the Tablet PC with a heavily soaked cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Solutions to some common problems are described in the following sections. If y ou are e xperiencing a p roble m 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 1-800­8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487) for further assistance.
System Will Not Resume Operation
If the syste m will not resume operation after syst em operation has been suspended, check the following possible ca uses:
• The battery may either be defective, or discharged to
32
a critically low level. When the battery reaches a critically low level, the system is forced into Suspend­to-RAM 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 ma y be at the critical thermal limit. To avoid damage to heat-sensitive components, the system enters Suspend-to-RAM mode when it gets too hot. System operation cannot be resumed until the T a blet 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. Not e that this is a normal, power-sa ving feature.
Cursor Is Not Tracking Pen
If the cursor on the scr ee n appears t o be misaligne d with the pen or is not accurately tracking the pen, calibrate the pen. See “Calibrating the Pen” on page 25 for more information.
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 th an 15 degrees from a center line between the IrDA port on the T a blet PC and the IrDA po rt 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 nece ssary to reboot the system. If the system responds to a keyboard but not to a pen, contact your local help desk o r r eselle r, or call Fujitsu Service and Support at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487) for further assistance.
Speaker/Headph one Volume Too Low
If the audio volume on your Tablet PC speaker or external headphones is too low, check the following:
• Ensure t h e 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 t h e mute box in the system volume control (accessible from the system tray) is not set .
Care and Maintenance
In order to install applications and/or drivers from the DAR CD, you will need to connect an external CD drive to your system.
If the DAR CD is in the drive when you boot up the system, and the Boot Sequence is set in the BIOS to boot from the CD drive first (see “Creating a backup image when booting up” on page 34), a message will appear informing you that if you proceed, you will have a choice of: creating a new backup of drive C:, restor­ing a previous backup, or restoring the original factory image.
Note that creating a new backup will overwrite any previous backups, and restoring a backup or factory image will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files. If you wish to install drivers or applications only from the CD, remove the disk from the drive, reboot the system, and insert the CD

Before Using the Wireless LAN
The Integrated Wireless LAN is a standard device on Stylistic ST5000 Tablet PC’s, and an option on Stylistic ST5000D Tablet PC’s. This manual describes the ba sic operating procedures for the Wireless LAN (referred to as the “device” in this manual) and how to set up a wire­less LAN network. Before using this device, re ad this manual carefully to ensure correct operation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe plac e for reference while using the device.
Types of Wireless LANs Covered by this Document
This document is applicable to systems containing one of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are identical. Sections that differ between the two devices have been noted in the text:
Intel PROSet Wireless LAN
Athero s Wireless LAN
To determine which device is present in your syste m, click [Start] -> Control Panel. If ther e is an icon named “Intel PROSet”, you have the Intel device; if there is an icon named “Atheros Client Utility”, you have the Atheros de vice.
Characteristics of the Device
This device consists of a wireless LAN card that is attached inside the computer via a mini-PCI slot.
The main characteristics are as follows:
It operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band.
It does not require the proc urement of an FCC license to operate.
It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DS-SS), an RF modulation scheme that is resistant to noise.
This device complies with Wi-Fi, and is able to com­municate at the maximum transfer rate of 11 Mbps.
The maximum communication range is approxi­mately 80 feet (25 meters) inside a building. The range may be shorter depending upon the installation fac­tors, such as walls and c olumns.
Unauthorized access can be prevented with the use of an SSID and an encryption key (als o known as a WEP key).
Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device
Ad Hoc Mode (See Figure 1)
“Ad Hoc Mode” refers to a type of wireless network that invol v es c o nn ecti n g m ul tip le c o m put e r s withou t the us e of an Access Point. Netw ork connectivity between computers can be established using only wireless LAN cards in a peer-to-peer fashion.
Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.
In the Ad Hoc mode, you can use the function supported by Microsoft Network, such as File and Print Sharing to exch ange files and share a printer or other peripheral devices.
To use the Ad Hoc Mode, you must set the same SSID and the same encr yption key for all the computers that are connected. All connected compu t ers can communi­cate with each other within the communication range.
Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure 2)
If a number of computers are c o n nected simultaneously in the Ad Hoc mode, the tra nsfer rate ma y be reduced, communications may become unstable, or the network

connection could fail. This is because all wireless LAN cards are using the same radio frequency in the network.
To improve this situation , you can use a wireless LAN access point, which is sold separately. The wireless LAN network is in the “Access Point mode” when it uses an access point, and such a connection is called the “Access Point Network” or “Infrastructure Network”.
By using an access point, you can set and use a different communication channel for each network group. Each channel is given a different radio frequency, and it eliminates the collision of communications and provides a more stable communications environment.
How to Handle This Device
The Integrated Wire less LAN device is al ready installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you t o remove or re-install it. The LAN has been configured to support the operating system with which your system shipped.
FOR BETTER COMMUNICATIONS
This personal computer may not operate properly due to the operating environment. Strictly observe the following precautions when installing the main unit of the computer:
The recommended wireless communications distance is within a line-of-sight radius of 25 meters. For rea­sons related to the characteristics of the wireless LAN,
however, the actual communications distance depends on the structure of the building in which the wireless LAN function is to be used, the presence/absence of obstructions, the types of software to be used, installa­tion status, radio-wave status, or other operating con­ditions. Decreases in communications speed or a communications failure may also occur.
Distance the main unit of this personal computer is from other electric appliances. If the main unit of the person compute r is installed nea r a powe red-on electric appliance, the computer may not be able to communi­cate properly or trouble may occur in the electric appli­ance.
If the computer is unable to communicate properly, change the channel to be used or the installation loca­tion. During the use of a microwave oven or other equipment generating strong high-frequency energy, in particular, the personal comp ute r may be hig hl y sus­ceptible to the energy and unable to communicate properly.
If a broadcasting station or wireless c ommunications equipment is present nearby and this prevents the com­puter from communicating properly, moving the main unit of the computer is suggested. Radio interference may also occur if the intensity of ambient radio waves is too high.

Troubleshooting
Causes and countermeasures fo r troubles you may encounter while usi n g your wireless LAN are described in the following table.
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution
Unavailable network connection
Incorrect network name (SSID) or network key
Poor radio wave condition
Radio wave transmission has stopped
The computer to be connected is turned off
Active channel duplication due to multiple wireless LAN networks
Ad hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network
keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.
Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID) and network key to the same values as those of the access point.
Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if necessary.
For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the following pages:· “Assigning parameters” on page 53·
Ad hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight.
Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: Retry connection after short­ening the distance to the access point or removing any obstacles for better sight.
To check the wave condition, refer to the following pages:· “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 57.·
Check if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify “Disable Radio” is not checked in “Network setting” window. Refer to “Starting Transmis­sion” on page 52.
Check if the computer to be connected is turned ON.
If there is any other wireless LAN network nearby, change channels to avoid active channel duplication. For the method of checking active channels, refer to the following pages:· “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 57·
No right of access to the network to be connected
Incorrectly­performed network setting
Unmatched [Network authentication (shared mode)] settings in Windows XP
60
Check if you have a right of access to the network to be connected with.
Check the protocol, work group name or shared setting.
For the method of checking, refer to the following pages:· “Connection to the Network” on page 55.

Wireless LAN Glossary
Ad hoc
A designation for wireless LAN network configuration. It indicates a form of communica tion limited to those personal computers which have wireless LAN function. For details, refer to “Ad hoc connection” on page50.
Channel
The frequency band of wireless LAN to be used in communications ove r wireless LAN or at the access point.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A protocol used for automatically fetching communica­tion parameters such as IP addresses. The si de which assigns IP address is called DHCP server and the side that is assigned it is called DHCP client.
DNS (Domain Name System)
A function that controls the correspondence of IP addresses as signed to a computer with the name. Even for those computers whose IP addresses are unknown, if their names are known, it is possible to co mmunicate with them.
IEEE802.11a
One of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by the 802 committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN technology in IEEE (Institute of E lectrical and Electronic Engineers). It allows communications at the maximum speed of 54 Mbps by using a 5GHz band which can freely be used without radio communication license.
IEEE802.11b
One of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by 802 committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN technology in IEEE (Institute of E lectrical and Electronic Engineers). It allows communications at the maximum speed of 11Mbps by a band of 2.4 GHz (ISM band) which can freely be used without radio communication license.
the world. A private address is a u nique addr ess within a closed network.
LAN (Local Area Network)
An environment connecting computers within a rela­tively small range, such as the same floor and building.
MAC address (Media Access Control Address)
A physical address inher ent to a network card. For Ethernet, the t o p t hree bytes are contr o ll ed/a ss igned as a vendor code. The remaining three bytes comprise the code uniquely (to avoid duplication) controlled by each vendor. As a result, there is no Ethernet card with the same physical address in the world. In Ethernet, the frame transmission/reception is performed based on this address.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at one time in networks including the Internet. In an envi­ronment whose maximum size of data is too large to correctly receive data, normal communications can be restored b y setting the size of MTU to a smaller value.
Network authentication
The method of authentication performed by wireless LAN clients to connect with the access point. There are two types: open syst em authentication and shared key authenti cation. The type of a uthentication must be set to each client and also coincide with the setting of access point with which to communicate. Network authentica­tion is sometimes called authentication mode.
Network key
Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi­cation. The personal computer uses the same network key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore, it is necessary to set the same network key as the other side of communication.
Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)
Access point
A designation of Wireless LAN network configurations. It indicates a form of communication using an Access Point. For details, refer to “access point connection” on page 50.
IP address
An address used by computers for communicating in TCP/IP environment. IP addresses have global and private addres ses. A global a ddr ess is a u niqu e address in

When a wireless LAN network is c onfigured, grou ping is performed to avoid interference or data theft. This grouping is performed with “Network name (SSI D)”. In order to improve security, the network key is set allowing no communication unless “Network name (SSID)” coincides with the network key.
Open system authentication
One of network authentication types for wireless LAN. Since there is no check of network k ey upon authentica­tion, clients can connect to the access point without
submitting correct network keys. However, in case of actual communications, the same network key must be set. Open system authentication is sometimes called Open key authentication.
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
A method of allowing the authentic at ion protocol adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used over an Ethernet.
Protocol
A procedur e or rule of d el iv e ring da ta am ong c om pu te rs. Ordered data communication is allowed by making all conditions required for communication including the method of data transmission/rec epti on and actions upon communication errors int o procedures.
Shared key authentication
One of the network authentication types for wireless LAN. Upon authentication, the access point checks whether the same network key is set to the client. If the client uses a wrong network key or the network key itself is not set, authentication is unsuccessful, allowing no communications with the access point.
Wireless LAN User’s Guide
SSID (Security Set Identifier)
See “Network name”
Subnet mask
TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into multiple smaller networks (subnets) . IP address consists of the subnet address and the address of each computer. Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set among computers communicating with each other.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
A standard protocol of the Internet.

IP address information
IP addressing is much more complicated than can be briefly explained in this document. You are advised to consult with your network administrator for additional information.
If IP address is unkno wn, set IP address as follows: If you ha ve an access point (DHCP server) on the
network, set the IP address as follows: [Obtain an IP address automatically]
A DHCP server is a server that automatically assigns IP addresses to computers or other devices in the network. There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc network.
If the IP add ress is already assigned to the computer in the network, ask the network administrator to check the IP address to be set for the computer.
If no access point is found in the network: An IP address is expressed with four values in the range
between 1 and 255. Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren-
theses is a subnet mask. <Example> Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0) Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0) Computer C: 192.168.100.4 (255.255.255.0) : : Computer X: 192.168.100.254 (255.255.255.0)
