ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS
Figure 2-12. Fully open display
Once 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.

in the system’s Brightness Control settings).
■
[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness
of your display.
■
[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the
brightness of the display.
Using Power Management to Adjust Brightness
To adjust brightness with the power management utility,
click Start -> Control Panel -> Brightness Control. Set
the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power
scenarios.
Figure 2-13. Rotating the display
Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust Brightness
To 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

If 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.

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 2-19)

Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.
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.
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. Pressing
[F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the
volume of your notebook.
There are twenty-six levels through which
the function keys cycle.
■
■
■
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.

(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:
■
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.
■
■
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 UTILITY
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..
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your 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:
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.
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.
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.
BOOT SEQUENCE
The 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 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

LifeBook P Series Notebook - Section Three
Power Management
Your LifeBook P Series 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 operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. 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.
Power Mode
Fully On Mode
Besides the options available for conserving battery
power, there are also some things that you can do to
prevent your notebook battery from running down as
quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate
power saving profile, put your notebook into Standby
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
STANDBY MODE
When your notebook is active, the Suspend/Resume
button can be used to manually put your notebook into
Standby 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 Standby
mode. (See figure 2-6 on page 11 for location).
Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your
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 Standby mode by:
If your 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
Standby mode by looking at the Power indicator. See “”
on page 14. 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 Standby
mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off
or your notebook is in Hibernate mode (See Hibernate
Mode)

Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the
file(s) on which you are working, open application(s)
information, and any other data required to support the
operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation
P Series.book Page 33 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM
Getting Started
from Standby mode, your notebook will return to the
point where it left off. To resume operation, 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.
If you are running your notebook on
battery power, be aware that the battery
continues to discharge while your
notebook is in Standby mode, though not
as fast as when fully operational.
HIBERNATE MODE
The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your
notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of
the Suspend/Resume mode. Your notebook is preconfigured to perform this function. The Hibernate
mode can also be configured through the system BIOS
to run in other ways depending on what you need to
accomplish. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 30.
■
Standby or Hibernate modes should not
be used with certain PC Cards. Check
your PC Card documentation for more
information.
■
Disabling the Suspend/Resume button
prevents it from being used to put your
notebook in Standby or Hibernate
mode. The resume function of the
button cannot be disabled.
■
If your notebook is actively accessing
information when you enter Standby or
Hibernate mode, changes to open files
are not lost. The files are left open and
memory is kept active during Standby
mode or the memory is transferred to
the hard drive during Hibernate mode.
■
When PC Cards or external devices are
in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return
to the exact state prior to suspension,
because all peripheral devices will be reinitialized when the system restarts.
■
The main advantage of using Hibernate
mode is that power is not required to
maintain your data. This is very important if you will be leaving your notebook
in a suspended state for a prolonged
period of time. The drawback of using
Hibernate mode is that it lengthens the
power down and power up sequences
and resets peripheral devices.
Using Hibernate Mode
Hibernate default setting is enabled for Windows XP.
To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these
easy steps:
1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel -> Power
Options.
2. Select the Hibernate tab and then select the box to
enable or disable this feature.
To use Hibernate mode with your system:
1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel -> Power
Options.
2. Select the Power Schemes tab and in the System
hibernates boxes, select the amount of time you
want to elapse until the system goes into hibernation
(when plugged in and when running on battery
power).
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
Power Management.
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.
WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT
The Power Options icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the
Power Options 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.
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 Turn Off
Computer.
2. Select the Restart button from within the Turn Off
Computer window.

Windows or turning on your notebook
within 10 seconds of the notebook being
shut off may cause an error when you start
the next time.
POWER OFF
Before turning off the power by choosing Turn Off
Computer from the Windows Start menu, check that the
Hard Drive access indicator is off. (See Figure 2-9 on page
14) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk 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 Turn Off
Computer.
2. Select the Turn Off option from within the window.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more, see the Care and Maintenance section.
