System in tablet configurationADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESSOnce you have turned on your notebook, you may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more comfortable viewing level. There are three ways to adjust the brightness, keyboard, power management utility, and Fujitsu menu. Using Keyboard to Adjust BrightnessAdjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the system setting (i.e., the settings you make via the func-tion keys automatically changes the brightness settings in the system’s Brightness Control settings). ■[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display.■[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase thebrightness of the display.Using Power Management to Adjust BrightnessTo adjust brightness with the power management utility, click Start -> Control Panel -> Brightness Control. Set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios.Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust BrightnessTo adjust brightness using the Fujitsu menu, click on the Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, select Brightness Control. The Brightness Control window will open. Set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios. 90oIf using AC power, your brightness setting is set to its highest level by default. If using battery power your brightness settings is set to approximately mid-level by default.The higher the brightness level, the more power the LifeBook P Series notebook will consume and the faster your batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, make sure that the brightness is set as low as possible.P Series.book Page 17 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WB0036.Users-Manual/User-Guide-568506-Page-23.png)
![18LifeBook P Series Notebook - Section TwoFigure 2-16. KeyboardKeyboardUSING THE KEYBOARDYour LifeBook P Series notebook has an integral 82-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 2-16)■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 arrowkeys 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 KEYPADCertain 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 2-16) WINDOWS KEYSYour LifeBook P Series notebook 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 func-tions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional informa-tion regarding the Windows keys.)

![24LifeBook P Series Notebook - Section TwoDraggingDragging means moving an item with the stylus by touching the screen, moving and then lifting the stylus. To drag, touch the Touch Screen with your stylus on the item you wish to move. While continuing to touch the screen with the stylus, drag the item to its new location by moving the stylus across the screen, and then lifting the stylus to release it. Dragging can also be done using your fingertip. (Figure 2-25)Figure 2-25 Dragging on the Touch ScreenCalibrating the Touch ScreenIn order to ensure accurate tracking between the stylus and cursor, you must run the Touch Screen Calibration Utility before you use the Touch Screen for the first time, or after you change the display resolution and/or orien-tation.To run the calibration utility:1. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Touch Panel and select the Calibration tab.2. Press the [Calibrate Now] button.3. Adjust the display of your notebook to a comfortable angle and find the red (+) symbol in the upper-left corner of the display.4. Using the stylus, firmly touch the screen directly on the (+) symbol.

![25Getting to Know Your Tablet PCVolume ControlYour Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other. CONTROLLING THE VOLUMEThe 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] func-tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [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.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.

![30LifeBook P Series Notebook - Section ThreeStarting Your LifeBookPOWER ONThe Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LifeBook P Series 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 2-4 on page 9 for location).Press the Suspend/Resume button to start your system. When you are done working you can either leave your notebook in Standby mode, See “Standby Mode” on page 32., or you can turn it off. See “Power Off” on page 34..When you Power On your 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 notebook will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 58. 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 SEQUENCEThe procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s BIOS. When your notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instruc-tions 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 notebook.■You restart your notebook from the Windows Shut Down dialog box.■The software initiates a system restart (e.g., when you install a new application).BIOS SETUP UTILITYThe BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOSis 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 changingI/O addresses and boot devices.■System Data Security feature parameters, suchas passwords.Entering the BIOS Setup UtilityTo enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following: 1. Turn on or restart your 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 GuideA guide to your notebook’s BIOS is available online. Please visit our service and support Web site at http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support. Once there, select LifeBook BIOS Guides from the pull-down menu for your notebook series. If you are unsure of your note-book’s BIOS number, refer to your packing slip.When you turn on your notebook, be sure you have a power source. This means that a battery is installed and charged, or that a power adapter is connected and has power.When the system display is closed, the Suspend/Resume button is disabled. This feature prevents the system from being accidentally powered up when not in use. Never turn off your notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error message to be displayed when you turn your notebook on the next time. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 58.If your data security settings require it, you may be asked for a password before the BIOS main menu will appear.P Series.book Page 30 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WB0036.Users-Manual/User-Guide-568506-Page-36.png)
