The numbers within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one button. ■{[2]+[3]}, [1], [Enter]■[4], [enter]■{[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [Enter]Setting PasswordsWhen 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 super-visor password before the user password. Setting Supervisor PasswordYou 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:C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\Security Panel Application\Supervisor\ FJSECS.EXE, then press [Enter]4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set theSupervisor password.Setting User Password1 Go to the Start menu.2. Click on All Programs.3. Click on Security Panel Application -> Security Panel Application.4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set theuser password.USING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANELThe security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off, Standby, or Hibernation state. You always need to push the Security Panel buttons to input the user password. Your system will not begin the boot sequence until you enter your supervisor/user password.From Off State1. Turn on your system.2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-word and press Enter button.For example, if the password is 22222, first press Button 2 five times and press the Enter button. The Tablet PC will boot to normal operation.From Standby/Hibernation State1. Press your Suspend/Resume button.2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-word and press Enter button.The Tablet PC should resume normal operation.Incorrect Password EntryIf an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will “beep” for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute (while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the Tablet PC will resume normal operation. If no password is entered or an invalid password is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (standby or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reactivate the Tablet PC after a password failure, you must press the Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password.PRECAUTIONSOpening and Closing the CoverBy default, closing the cover automatically places your system into Standby mode. (You can change the action the system takes when the cover is closed by opening the Power Options Properties icon in the Control Panel, and selecting the Advanced tab. Make a choice from the drop down menu for “When I close the lid of my portable computer:” and click the [OK] button.) Opening the cover does not automatically place the Tablet PC into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Suspend/Resume button.■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.You may change or remove the supervisor or user password by repeating the steps defined above.Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The supervisor pass-word can override the user password.T Series.book Page 23 Wednesday, July 28, 2004 3:35 PM

It only requires light pressure with the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function the same as left and right mouse buttons. The scroll button allows you to navigate through pages quickly without using the scroll bars. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used. (Figure 2-19)CLICKINGClicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it.

Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will decrease the volume of your Tablet PC. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your Tablet PC.■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.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. There are twenty-six levels through which the function keys cycle.

27Getting to Know Your Tablet PCPen and Active DigitizerUSING THE PENYou can use the LifeBook T Series Tablet PC pen to generate and create electronic “ink”, to select items, and to navigate through programs on the 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 2-24. LifeBook T Series PenThe screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately 1/8 inch (3-5 mm) from the screen. The pen has three switches: a tip switch and a barrel button toggle switch with switches at both ends. By default, the tip switch corresponds to the left mouse button, and the front toggle (closest to the pen tip) barrel button switch corre-sponds to the right mouse button (when used in combi-nation with the tip switch). The rear toggle of the barrel button switch acts as an electronic ink "eraser".The functions of the rear toggle and the tip click pres-sure can be changed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel, and double-clicking the Fujitsu Pen Settings icon. To change the rear toggle function, select the drop-down list to select a new function, then click [Apply]. If you don’t want the rear toggle to have any function, select Ignore from the list. Adjusting the click pressure determines how much pres-sure must be put on the pen tip in order for the screen to react. The softer it is set, less pressure is required; the harder it is set, more pressure is required. To change the click pressure, use the slider bar to make the click pres-sure harder or softer, then click [Apply]. Here are some hints that may 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 to 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 - 5 mm) 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.•To select an object, tap the pen tip on the object once. •To double-click an object, quickly tap the object twice.CALIBRATING THE PENIn order to ensure accurate tracking between the pen and cursor, you must run the Touch Screen Calibration Utility before you use the active digitizer for the first time, or after you change the display resolution.To run the calibration utility:1. Go to Start -> Control Panel and double-click on the Table t and Pen Setting s icon. 2. Click Calibrate.3. Adjust the display of your Tablet PC to a comfort-able angle.You are advised to use a screen protector on your system display to minimize the chance of its being scratched. Screen protectors are available from the Fujitsu Web site at us.fujitsu.com/computers. The LifeBook T Series Tablet PC pen is a high-quality electronic instrument that can be damaged if used improperly. Treat the pen as you would any precision device. Observe the following guidelines:• 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.• 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. The pen should be stored in the pen holder when not in use.Tip SwitchBarrel SwitchUse only the pen provided with your Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that were not designed for the LifeBook T Series Tablet PC.T Series.book Page 27 Wednesday, July 28, 2004 3:35 PM

Repeat step 4 in the four corners, then click OK.REPLACING THE PEN TIPWith 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 unpredictable results when using the pen. If your pen exhibits these problems, you should replace the pen tip. To do so, use the pen tip removal tool included with your pen.Figure 2-25. Tip Removal ToolTo remove the tip, position the tip in the gap between the two ends of the tool (Figure 2-25). 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: us.fujitsu.com/computers.USING THE ACTIVE DIGITIZERThe integrated active digitizer allows you to use the included pen as a pointing device. You can use the pen to click, double-click, drag items and icons, or to draw like a pen or pencil in applications that support this behavior, such as drawing or painting programs. See the documentation that came with your application for details. (Figure 2-26)Figure 2-26.
