Technical Support

It is our foremost concern to ensure that you are always 100% satisfied with PlaneBook™, including support after the sale. Given that a computer is still a machine, however, it is foreseeable that machines will break from time to time. We ask that you please take the following steps toward obtaining technical support:

1. Ensure you’ve first checked all of the documentation

that was included with the Fujitsu FG-1620G Tablet PC,

the PlaneBook™ Quick Reference Guide, and this PlaneBook™ Owner’s Manual.

2. If you are unable to solve your problem using the docu-

mentation, contact Flight Crew Technical Information using the information on the following page.

Second Tier Technical Support

PlaneBook™ Mode

When in PlaneBook™ mode, the FG-1620G functions as an electronic document management (EDM) tool for flight crews who desire to operate in a paperless cockpit environment in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular No. 91-78, Use of Class 1 or Class 2 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), dated 07/20/07, or later approved version. In addition to providing service as an EDM, PlaneBook™ also may be loaded with additional data and/or convenience programs, such as weight and balance calculators, navigation charts, and aircraft performance planning software.

3. Hardware Modifications Made for PlaneBook™

(Refer to Fujitsu’s “User’s Guide” for the Lifebook® P1620 Notebook, page 21, USING THE LIFEBOOK APPLICATION PANEL.)

(See illustration on next page.) Two of the five application buttons (bottom left corner of the display screen) have been modified for use when in the PlaneBook™ mode. Buttons 1 and 2 have been modified to serve as BRIGHTNESS control buttons. Pushing button 2 (↑) in- creases the screen brightness. Pushing button 1 (↓) decreases the screen brightness. Whenever either button is pushed, the Brightness Min. / Max. scale is displayed. The Min. / Max. scale automatically hides a few seconds after the button is released.

The “Open PlaneBook™ Taskbar” Button

With the PlaneBook™ taskbar hidden, tapping the button shown below results in the taskbar being displayed vertically on the right edge of the PlaneBook™ desktop. With the taskbar visible (but not “pinned”), tapping this button twice results in the taskbar being hidden from view.

Note: With the taskbar visible, tapping anywhere on the

tablet screen results in the taskbar being hidden from

view (unless “pinned”). (See next Note.) Note: The feature described above works only when

the PlaneBook™ taskbar is not “pinned” in the “always displayed” position. “Pinning” the taskbar is accomplished using the Taskbar Pin Control button, located at bottom of the taskbar, which functions as follows:

“Unpinned” “Pinned”
