Getting to Know Your Tablet PC
Figure 2-9. Status Indicator Panel
Status Indicator Panel
The Status Indicator Panel displays symbols that corre-
spond to specific components of your LifeBook T Series
Tablet PC. These symbols tell you how each of those
components is operating. (Figure 2-9)
POWER INDICATOR
The Power indicator symbol states whether your system
is operational. It has several different states, each of
which tells you what mode your Tablet PC is in at that
time.
■Steady On: This means that there is power to your
Tablet PC and that it is ready for use.
■Flashing: This means that your Tablet PC is in Standby
mode.
■Steady Off: This means that your system is either in
Hibernate mode, or that your Tablet PC has been
turned off.
If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator
symbol will remain on even if your LifeBook T Series
Tablet PC is shut off. The Power indicator symbol will
also remain on if you have either adapter connected and
are shut down from Windows.
AC ADAPTER INDICATOR
The AC adapter indicator states whether your tablet is
operating from the AC adapter, the auto/airline adapter
or the batteries. This icon has two different states that
can tell you what power source your LifeBook Tablet PC
is using.
■On: This means that either of the adapters are
currently in use.
■Off: Power is only coming from the batteries, and
you do not have an adapter connected.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATORS
The Battery Level indicators state whether or not the
Lithium ion battery is installed and how much charge is
available within the battery. (Figure 2-10)
Additionally, this indicator displays when an overcur-
rent is detected. If an overcurrent is detected, the battery
stops charging and the Battery Level indicator blinks at
the rate of once per second. To stop the indicator from
blinking, you must disconnect the power adapter.

USING THE KEYBOARD
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC 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 2-17)
■Numeric keypad: Your Tablet PC 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] key.
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 func-
tions. (Figure 2-17)
WINDOWS KEYS
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has two Windows
keys: 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 2-17)

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 2-17)
FUNCTION KEYS
Your Tablet PC has 12 function keys, F1 through F12.
The functions assigned to these keys differ for each
application. You should refer to your software documen-
tation to find out how these keys are used.
(Figure 2-17)
[Fn] Key
The [Fn] key provides extended functions for the
Tablet PC and is always used in conjunction with
another key.
■[Fn+F3]: Pressing [F3] while holding [Fn] will toggle
the Audio Mute on and off.
■[Fn+F4]: Pressing [F4] while holding [Fn] will toggle
the built-in pointing device on and off. Note that the
[Fn+F4] combination only works if Manual Setting is
selected in the BIOS. (See “Entering the BIOS Setup
Utility” on page 34)
■[Fn +F5]: Pressing [F5] while holding [Fn] allows
you to toggle between video compensation and no
compensation. (Video compensation controls spacing
on the display. When it is enabled, displays with less
than 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600 pixel resolution will still
cover the entire screen.)
■[Fn+F6]: Pressing [F6] repeatedly while holding [Fn]
will lower the brightness of your display. Note that
adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes
the system setting.

LifeBook Security/
Tablet PC Buttons
A unique feature of your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC is
the array of Security and Tablet PC buttons. These
buttons allow you to secure your Tablet PC from
unauthorized use and to launch specific applications
with the touch of a button.
If the security system is activated, upon starting your
Tablet PC or resuming from Standby, Hibernate, or shut-
down mode the security system will require you to enter
a password code using the security buttons. After you
enter the correct password, your Tablet PC will resume
operation.
The five security/Tablet PC buttons are located on the
bottom right-hand side of the display when it is config-
ured to be used as a notebook. (Figure 2-18)
Security functions: All five buttons are used when
implementing security functions. Four of the buttons
are used to enter the password, and the fifth is used as an
Enter button. See the right-hand column of Table 2-3.
Tablet PC functions: All five of the buttons have
primary functions. Four of the buttons have secondary
functions when used as application buttons. The
secondary functions are activated by pressing the Func-
tion (Fn) button while pressing the application button.
See Table 2-3 for specific functions. The secondary func-
tions of the Application A and B buttons can be changed
to launch any application. See “Changing Tablet PC
Button Functions” on page 22

Screen Rotation / VGA-Out Button
The screen rotation feature would normally be used only
when the system is configured as a tablet. When you
would like to use the tablet as an eBook, for example,
you would use the portrait orientation; when accessing
spreadsheets or using the system as a notebook, you
would more typically use landscape orientation.
When the system is changed to tablet configuration, the
orientation automatically changes to portrait mode by
default.
When you press the Screen Rotation / VGA-Out button,
the system screen orientation changes from portrait
(vertical) to landscape (horizontal) or from landscape to
portrait.
Function / Fujitsu Menu Utility Button
The Function button works in conjunction with the
other application buttons to provide additional func-
tionality for the buttons. Refer to specific details above.
Pressing the Fn button twice in succession causes the
Fujitsu Menu Utility to appear on your screen, allowing
you to modify certain system settings.
Ctl+Alt+Del Button
Pressing and holding the Ctl-Alt-Del button for up to
750 msecs launches the Logon screen or the Windows
Task Manager (if the system hasn’t yet been configured).
CHANGING TABLET PC BUTTON FUNCTIONS
The Application A and B buttons can be changed to
launch a program or perform an action you select. By
default, the Application A button launches the Calcu-
lator, and the Application B button launches MS
Journal.
To launch different applications or cause the Application
A or B buttons to perform a specific action:
1. Double-click on the Tablet and Pen Settings icon in
the Control Panel.
2. Select the Tablet Buttons tab and select the button
you would like to change from the list.
3. Click [Change] and open the drop down list in the
Action: field.
4. Select the action you would like the button to
perform. If you want to launch a program, click on
Launch an Application then browse to the location
of the program.
5. Click [OK], then click [OK] again. The buttons will
now perform the actions you have assigned to them.
SETTING UP LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANEL
When you receive your Tablet PC, the security panel
application is pre-installed without any passwords. The
following sections provide detailed information on your
security panel, how to set, change or remove passwords.

Enter Button
After entering the button strokes, push this button to

PASSWORDS
The user and supervisor password may be set on this
Tablet PC. A supervisor password is typically the same
for all Tablet PC’s and notebooks in a work group, office,
or company to allow for system management. Individual
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 simulta-
neously.
The screen orientation default can be
changed by going to the Control Panel and
double-clicking on the Fujitsu Display
Control icon and selecting the desired
defaults from the Display Orientation
section. After changing the defaults, click
[OK].
