Keyboard

USING THE KEYBOARD

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has an integral 83-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 2-11)

■Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to

serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and

as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to tog-

gle 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] keys.

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 2-11)

WINDOWS KEYS

Your LifeBook notebook has two Windows keys,

consisting of 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 2-11)

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 2-11)

Figure 2-12 Quick Point pointing device

Quick Point

Pointing Device

The Quick Point is built into your LifeBook notebook. It

is used to control the movement of the cursor to select

items on your display panel. The Quick Point is

composed of a cursor control at the center of the

keyboard and three buttons on the palm rest of your

notebook. The cursor control works the same way a

mouse ball does, and moves the cursor around the

display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of

your finger, and the more pressure you use, the faster the

cursor will move. 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 middle button 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. (Figure 2-12)

CLICKING

Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-

click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select,

press the top button once, and then immediately release

it. To right-click, move the cursor to the item you wish

to select, press the bottom button once, and then imme-

diately release it. (Figure 2-13)

Figure 2-13 Clicking

DOUBLE-CLICKING

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the top

button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does

not function with the right button. To double-click,

move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press

and release the top button twice. (Figure 2-14)

Figure 2-14 Double-clicking

DRAGGING

Dragging means pressing and holding the top button,

while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to

the item you wish to move. Press and hold the top

button while moving the item to its new location

and then release it. (Figure 2-15)

Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume

controls which interact with each other.

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

■Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on

the Taskbar.

■Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9]

functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding

[Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Press-

ing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase

the volume of your notebook.

■Volume can be controlled by many volume controls

that are set within individual applications.

■Certain external audio devices you might connect to

your system may have hardware volume controls.

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the

volume level that must then be followed by the other

sources.

We recommend that you experiment with the various

volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

POINT

Any software that contains audio files will also contain

a volume control of its own. If you install an external

audio device that has an independent volume control,

the hardware volume control and the software volume

control will interact with each other. It should be noted

that if you set your software volume to Off, you will

override the external volume control setting.

POINT

There are seventeen levels through which the function

keys cycle.

Starting Your LifeBook

Notebook

POWER ON

Suspend/Resume/Power On button

The Suspend/Resume/Power On button is used to turn

on your LifeBook notebook from its off state. Once you

have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal

Lithium ion Battery, you can power on your notebook.

(See figure 2-7 on page 9 for location)

Press the Suspend/Resume/Power On button, which is

located below the display on the right. When you are

done working you can either leave your LifeBook note-

book in Suspend mode, (See Suspend Mode on page 29

for more information), or you can turn it off. (See Power

Off on page 30 for more information)

When you Power On your LifeBook notebook, it will

perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the

internal parts and configuration for correct functionality.

If a fault is found, your LifeBook notebook will emit an

audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed.

(See Power On Self Test Messages on page 74 for more

information) Depending on the nature of the problem,

you may be able to continue by starting the operating

system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising

the settings.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test

(POST), your notebook will load your operating system.

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.

3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key

to scroll through the other setup menus to review or

alter the current settings.

BIOS Guide

A guide to your notebook’s BIOS is available online.

Please visit our service and support Web site at

www.fujitsupc.com. Once there, select Support, then

select Notebooks under User’s Guides. Select LifeBook

BIOS Guides from the pull-down menu for your Life-

Book series. If you are unsure of your notebook’s BIOS

number, refer to your packing slip.

POINT

When you turn on your LifeBook notebook be sure you

have a power source. This means that at least one bat-

tery is installed and charged, or that the AC or Auto/

Airline adapter is connected and has power.

CAUTION

Do not carry your LifeBook notebook around with the

power on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk

damaging your notebook.

POINT

Never turn off your LifeBook notebook during the

Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error mes-

sage to be displayed when you turn your LifeBook

notebook on the next time. (See Power On Self Test

Messages on page 74 for more information)

LifeBook P2000 Notebook – Section Three

BOOTING THE SYSTEM

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external

devices and do not put a DVD/CD in your drive until

you have gone through the initial power on sequence.

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.

Designed to accommodate the needs of many users, in

many different countries, Windows needs to be config-

ured the first time you use them. Windows has three

parts:

■Getting Started: You have the opportunity to enter

custom information for your configuration file and

setup your modem so that your LifeBook notebook

will be prepared to dial out.

■Registration: Easy online registration for Windows

with Microsoft, and for your LifeBook notebook with

Fujitsu.

■Windows License Agreement and Final Settings:

You have the opportunity to review the Windows

License Agreement.

Getting Started

Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in

the information as directed. You will be asked for such

items as the language you wish to use, the country in

which you live, your first and last name, and about how

you dial out from where you will be using your LifeBook

notebook. For the modem settings, enter your current

location information where you will be using your Life-

Book notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line

and plan to register at a later time, you may click the

Getting Started

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 oper-

ating conditions, such as those for the display bright-

ness. 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 BUTTON

When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Suspend/

Resume button can be used to manually put your note-

book into Suspend mode. Push the Suspend/Resume

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 2-4 on page 6 for location)

If your LifeBook notebook is suspended, pushing the

Suspend/Resume 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 indi-

cator. (See figure 2-4 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.

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 button when your

system is turned on.

■Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.

■Timing out from lack of activity.

■Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery

Warning condition.

Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically

stores the file(s) on which you are working, open applica-

tion(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 button to resume operation, and there

must be an adequate power source available, or your

notebook will not resume.

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.

Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature

The default settings is not enabled. To enable or disable

the Hibernation feature follow these easy steps:

1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select

Control Panel.

2. From the Control Panel select Power Options.

3. Select the Hibernation tab. Select the box to enable

or disable this feature.

POINTS

■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 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 Hiber-

nation 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.

CAUTION

The Suspend or Hibernation mode should not be used

with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documenta-

tion for more information.

When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hiberna-

tion mode cannot return to the exact state prior to sus-

pension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-

initialized when the system restarts.

P2120.book Page 29 Friday, September 13, 2002 4:56 PM

LifeBook P2000 Notebook – Section Three

Using the Hibernation Feature

1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select

Control Panel.

2. From the Control Panel select Power Options.

3. Select the Advanced tab. Select Hibernate from the

pull down menu for Power buttons.

DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The Video Timeout is one of the power management

parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the

display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the

user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer

activity will cause the display to restart automatically.

This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume

button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and

BIOS setup utility.

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.

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure

that you use the following procedure.

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

2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows

Shut Down dialog box.

3. Click OK to restart your notebook. Your notebook

will shut down and then reboot.

POWER OFF

Before turning off the power, check that the Hard Drive,

DVD, CD-ROM, CD-RW, PC Card and the Floppy Disk

Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See figure 2-4 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.

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.

3. Click OK to shut down your notebook.

4. Move the power switch to the off position.

If you are going to store your notebook for a month or

more see Care and Maintenance Section.

POINT

Turning off your LifeBook notebook without exiting

Windows or turning on your notebook within 10 sec-

onds of the notebook being shut off may cause an error

when you start the next time.

CAUTION

Be sure to close all files, exit all applications, and shut

down your operating system prior to turning off the

power with the power switch. 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.

Lithium ion Battery

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion

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 exceeds 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 icon on the Status

Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a

battery that is outside its operating temperature range.

(See Battery Charging Indicator 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.

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 notebook and connect the

AC or Auto/Airline adapter.

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.

The approximate charging times follow:

■Main battery:

System off - 4.5 hours, system running - 11 hours

■High-capacity battery:

System off - 6.5 hours, system running - 17 hours

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 29 for more information on Suspend mode and

shutdown procedure)

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, a low battery notifica-

tion 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.

POINTS

■Actual battery life will vary based on screen bright-

ness, applications, features, power management set-

tings, 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.

Please take care of our environment and dispose of

batteries properly. Check with your local government

authority for details regarding 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)

CAUTION

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.

POINT

Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the

percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon

on the Status Indicator Panel.

CAUTION

Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent

DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging

completely.

CAUTIONS

■Once the low battery notification message appears,

you need to save all your active data and put your

LifeBook notebook into Suspend mode until you can

provide a new power source. You should provide a

charged battery, an AC power adapter, or Auto/Air-

line 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 with the power switch, 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.

P2120.book Page 33 Friday, September 13, 2002 4:56 PM

LifeBook P2000 Notebook – Section Four

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-

cator 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 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 notebook while an adapter is

charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the

battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display

the operating level available in that battery. (See figure 2-

10 on page 11) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it

means 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. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-

swapping and warm-swapping:

Cold-swapping Batteries

To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these

easy steps: (Figure 4-1)

USING THE DVD/CD-RW DRIVE

ON BATTERY POWER

Since a DVD/CD-RW 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 drive.

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 and replace the

discharged battery with an additional fully-charged

battery.

6. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend

button again. This step is not required if you

attached AC power without entering suspend mode.

7. Restart your DVD/CD-RW drive, locate and skip to

the chapter of the movie you were last watching.

8. Continue watching your DVD movie.

AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTION

The Auto Insert Notification function allows your Life-

Book notebook to automatically start a DVD/CD as soon

as it is inserted in the DVD/CD-RW 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.

POINT

■Media discs which do not have the Dolby Surround

5:1 symbol will not support Dolby Headphone.

■After making changes to the Dolby Headphone

feature and clicking OK, wait at least ten seconds

before making another change in order to allow the

system to stabilize.

POINT

■Prolonged use of the DVD/CD-RW drive, such as

when watching a DVD movie, will substantially

reduce your notebook’s battery life. Many movie

run-times are longer than your system 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.

■An additional fully-charged battery is highly recom-

mended 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

www.fujitsupc.com or call 1-877-372-3473.

CAUTION

If you do not stop the DVD/CD-RW 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).

POINT

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 DVD/CD-RW drive cannot be

guaranteed.

P2120.book Page 47 Friday, September 13, 2002 4:56 PM

LifeBook P2000 Notebook – Section Five

BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE

The integrated Wireless LAN is an optional device avail-

able for the LifeBook P2000 Series laptops. This chapter

describes the basic 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, read this manual carefully to ensure correct oper-

ation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for

reference while using the device.

Characteristics of the Device

This device consists of a wireless LAN card that is

attached to the computer via a mini-PCI slot.

The main characteristics are as follows:

■It uses the power saving communications system in

the 2.4 GHz band, and does not require any license for

radio communication.

■It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DS-SS),

which is resistant to noise.

■This device complies with Wi-Fi, and is able to com-

municate at the maximum transfer rate of 11 Mbps.

■The maximum communication range is approxi-

mately 80 feet (25 meters) inside a building. The

range may be shorter depending upon the installation

factors, such as walls and columns.

■Unauthorized access can be prevented with the use of

SSID and encryption key.

Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device

AdHoc Mode

The “AdHoc Mode” refers to the network connecting

two computers using wireless LAN cards. This connec-

tion is called an “AdHoc network.”

Using an AdHoc network, you can obtain a network

connection easily and at a low cost.

In the AdHoc mode, you can use the function supported

by Microsoft Network, such as File and Print Sharing to

exchange files and share a printer or other peripheral

devices.

To use the AdHoc Mode, you must set the same SSID

and the same encryption key for all the computers that

are connected. All connected computers can communi-

cate with each other within the communication range.

Infrastructure Mode

If a number of computers are connected simultaneously

in the AdHoc mode, the transfer rate may 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 “Infrastructure mode” when it uses an

access point, and such a connection is called the “Infra-

structure 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. Infrastruc-

ture mode is most suitable when you are configuring

multiple wireless LAN networks on the same floor.

To connect a wireless LAN network to a wired LAN, you

need an access point.

How to Handle This Device

The Integrated Wireless LAN device is already installed

in LifeBook computers which were purchased with the

wireless LAN option. Under normal circumstances, it

should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install

it. The LAN has been configured to support the oper-

ating system with which your system shipped.

* 40 bit and 104 bit encryption is the wireless LAN

equivalent of 64 bit and 128 bit encryption, as set by

Microsoft and wireless LAN manufacturers. This is the

same encryption rate that is used by the Windows XP

operating system, and was selected in order to align it

closer to the wireless LAN standard. For consistency, the

Windows 2000 utilities reflect the same modes.

Outside of wireless LAN environments, encryption is

generally set at either 64 bit or 128 bit. However, the

wireless LAN standard requires that 24 bits be reserved

for fixed data. As a result, the user can only use 40 bits

(64 minus 24) or 104 bits (128 minus 24) for encryption.

This requirement also fixes the number of characters

used for 128 bit encryption to 13 which is calculated as

(13 x 8 bits = 104).

POWER ON SELF TEST MESSAGES

The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-status

messages that the Phoenix BIOS and/or your operating

system can generate and an explanation of each message.

Error messages are marked with an *. If an error message

is displayed that is not in this list, write it down and

check your operating system documentation both on

screen and in the manual. If you can find no reference

to the message and its meaning is not clear, contact

your support representative for assistance.

nnnn Cache SRAM Passed

Where nnnn is the amount of system cache in kilobytes

success-fully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This can

only appear if you have an SRAM PC Card installed.)

*Diskette drive A error or Diskette drive B error

Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS Power On Self

Test diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined

with the proper diskette type in the Setup Utility, (See

BIOS Setup Utility on page 27 for more information) and

that the diskette drive is installed correctly. If the disk

drive is properly defined and installed, avoid using it and

contact your support representative.

*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn

Extended memory not working or not configured prop-

erly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module,

verify that the module is properly installed. If it is prop-

erly installed, you may want to check your Windows

Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory

until you can contact your support representative.

nnnn Extended RAM Passed

Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes

successfully tested.

*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn

This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in

System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the

memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed

bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data

if you continue. Contact your support representative.

*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller

Failure (where x = 1-4)

The fixed disk is not working or not configured properly.

This may mean that the hard drive type identified in

your setup utility does not agree with the type detected

by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to check

for the hard drive type settings and correct them if

necessary. If the settings are OK and the message appears

when you restart the system, there may be a serious fault

which might cause you to lose data if you continue.

Contact your support representative.

*Incorrect Drive A type – run SETUP

Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup.

This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in

your setup utility does not agree with the type detected

by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to

correct the inconsistency.

*Incorrect Drive B type – run SETUP

Type of floppy drive B: not correctly identified in Setup.

This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in

your setup utility does not agree with the type detected

by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to

correct the inconsistency.

*Invalid NVRAM media type

Problem with NVRAM access. In the unlikely case that

you see this message you may have some display prob-

lems. You can continue operating but should contact

your support representative for more information.

probably means your BIOS is corrupted, run the setup

utility and set all settings to the default conditions. If you

still get this error, contact your support representative.

*Operating system not found

Operating system cannot be located on either drive A: or

drive C: Enter the setup utility and see if both the fixed

disk, and drive A: are properly identified and that the

boot sequence is set correctly. Unless you have changed

your installation greatly, the operating system should be

on drive C:. If the setup utility is correctly set, your hard

drive may be corrupted and your system may have to be

re-installed from your back up media.

*Parity Check 1 nnnn

Parity error found in the system bus. BIOS attempts

to locate the address and display it on the screen. If it

cannot locate the address, it displays ????. This is a

potentially data destroying failure. Contact your

support representative.

MODEM RESULT CODES

The operating system and application software that is

factory installed detects the modem characteristics and

provides the necessary command strings to operate the

modem. The internal modem operation is controlled by

generic AT commands from the operating system and

application software. The standard long form result

codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to

keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The

operating system and application software may suppress

display of the result codes.

Examples of result codes are:

■OK

■NO CARRIER

■NO DIALTONE

■CONNECT 53000 (Connection complete

at 53,000 bps.)

■ERROR

■FAX

■RING (This means an incoming call.)

■BUSY

■NO ANSWER

When using the internal modem with applications

that are not factory installed refer to the

application documentation.

Restoring Your

Pre-installed Software

Your system has been loaded with a valuable utility that

allows you to restore your LifeBook notebook disk drive

contents as they were originally shipped from the

factory. Most often this is necessary if files or software

programs (only those files/programs that came pre-

installed) become corrupt or accidentally erased.

DRIVE IMAGE® SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)

PowerQuest® Drive Image Special Edition (DISE)

provides a way to restore your computer if you experi-

ence a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu has

used DISE to create an image of everything that was

installed on the computer at the time you purchased it.

The image is saved on a separate partition on the hard

disk. You can use DISE to restore the factory image and

return your computer to the state in which it shipped

from Fujitsu.

Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store

an additional image file that you create. For example, if

you install several applications and save data files on

your hard disk, you can create a new image file that

includes them and then save that image file on the hard

disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can

restore the image that includes the applications and data

files you use.

Fujitsu recommends that you create a DISE disk as a

backup disk. If your computer fails, you can boot and

run DISE from the backup disk.

Creating Drive Image SE Diskettes

Note: You can use a DISE disk to boot your machine and

run DISE if your machine is not bootable or if you do not

have access to Windows.

Insert a formatted floppy disk in your machine.

From the Drive Image Special Edition main window,

click Options > Create Drive Image SE Diskette.

Running DISE from Diskettes

1. Insert the Drive Image SE Disk 1 in the floppy drive.

2. Reboot your computer.

3. Insert Disk 2, type DISE, then press [Enter].

Creating a Backup Image

You can create a backup image of your C:\ drive at any

time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS

partition, and it must be directly before the backup

partition on your hard disk.

1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen,

click Options> Create New Backup.

There is also a button on the main DISE screen that

performs the same function.

2. You will be prompted to type a password. Type a

password (or leave the password fields blank), then

click OK. DISE displays a warning that it must go to

DOS to create the image.

3. Click Yes.

DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If

you created a backup image previously, the new

image overwrites the old one.

Enlarging the Backup Partition

If there is not enough unused space in the backup parti-

tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition.

DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-

mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the

size you want.

DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS

partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough

unused space in that partition to take, you will not be

able to resize the backup partition and create an image

file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS

partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.

Restoring a Backup Image

You can restore either a factory image or a backup image

you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will

replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image

you restore.

1. Disable virus protection software. If virus protection

software is enabled, DISE will hang.

2. From the DISE main window, click Options >

Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or

click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore

the factory image.

DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.

Drivers and Applications Restore CD

The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec-

tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have

been un-installed or corrupted. Please refer to installa-

tion instructions located in the Drivers and Applications

Restore CD.

POINT

Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable

disk space on your hard disk drive.

POINT

Look for and open files with the extensions .DOC .PDF

and/or .TXT.

Care and Maintenance

If you use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook carefully, you

will increase its life and reliability. This section provides

some tips for looking after the notebook and its devices.

Caring for your LifeBook notebook

■Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive

electronic device. Treat it with respect and care.

■Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying

case.

■Do not attempt to service the computer yourself.

Always follow installation instructions closely.

■Keep it away from food and beverages.

■If you accidentally spill liquid on your LifeBook note-

book:

1. Turn it off.

2. Position it so that the liquid can run out.

3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.

4. If your notebook will not boot after it has dried

out, call your support representative.

■Do not use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook in a wet

environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool).

■Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are

approved for your notebook.

■Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other

environmental hazards.

■Do not expose your notebook to direct sunlight for

long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F (60°

C) may damage your notebook.

■Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots

when they are not in use.

■Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.

■If you are carrying your LifeBook notebook in a brief-

case, or any other carrying case, make sure that there

are no objects in the case pressing on the lid.

■Never position your notebook such that the DVD/CD-

RW drive is supporting the weight of the notebook.

■Do not drop your notebook.

■Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.

Cleaning your LifeBook notebook

■Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not

the cord.)

■Clean your LifeBook notebook with a damp, lint-free

cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

■Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen.

Never use glass cleaners.

Storing your LifeBook notebook

■If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn

your LifeBook notebook off, charge the battery, then

remove and store all Lithium ion batteries.

■Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you

store your LifeBook with a battery installed, the bat-

tery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In

addition, a faulty battery might damage your Life-

Book.

Applications CD that came with your notebook when

you travel. If you experience system software problems

while traveling, you may need it to correct any prob-

lems.

■Never put your notebook through a metal detector.

Have your notebook hand-inspected by security per-

sonnel. You can however, put your notebook through a

properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems,

place your notebook close to the entrance of the

machine and remove it as soon as possible or have your

notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Secu-

rity officials may require you to turn your notebook

On. Make sure you have a charged battery on hand.

■When traveling with the hard drive removed, wrap the

drive in a non-conducting materials (cloth or paper). If

you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install

the drive if needed. Never put your hard drive through a

metal detector. Have your hard drive hand-inspected by

security personnel. You can however, put your hard

drive through a properly tuned X-ray machine.

■Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling

overseas. Check the following diagram to determine

which plug adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.

CAUTION

Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Oper-

ations of this product or similar products, must always be

supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to

the interior of any electrical products and do not permit

them to handle any cables.

interference to radio communications. However, there is

no guarantee that interference will not occur in a partic-

ular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can

be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following measures:

nReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

nIncrease the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

nConnect the equipment into an outlet that is on a
