Figure 2-11. Opening the display
Display Panel
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC contains a display
panel that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environ-
ments. The convertible design of your Tablet PC allows
you to open the display fully, rotate it 180 degrees, and
lay it face up on the keyboard. This allows you to use the
system as a tablet, much as you would a pad of paper.
OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL
1. Press the latch release button. This releases the
locking mechanism. While holding the latch release,
lift display cover.
2. Lift the display backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable viewing
angle. (Figure 2-11)
USING THE SYSTEM AS A TABLET
If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform
the following steps.
1. Lift the display until it is perpendicular to the
keyboard. (Figure 2-13).
2. When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard,
rotate it clockwise (when viewed from the top). Be
very careful to rotate it in the direction indicated.
(Figure 2-14). Turn the display 180 degrees so that it
is facing backwards. (Figure 2-15)
3. Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it
forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard.
4. Push the latch towards the display (See “A” in
Figure 2-12). The latch will pivot so the top latch
disappears, and the bottom latch appears (See “B” in
Figure 2-12). Holding the latch down, lay the display
flush against the system so that the latch engages.
You can now use your system as a tablet. (Figure 2-
16)

ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS
Once you have turned on your Tablet PC, you may want
to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more
comfortable viewing level. There are two ways to adjust
the brightness, keyboard and power management utility.
Using Keyboard to Adjust Brightness
Adjusting 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 Pen and Tablet 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 -> Tablet and Pen Settings.
Select the Display tab and set the screen brightness slider
for battery and AC power scenarios.
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 (or double-click the Function
button). From the menu that appears, select Brightness
Control. The Tablet and Pen Settings window will open.
Select the Display tab and set the screen brightness slider
for battery and AC power scenarios.
90
o
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 Tablet PC will consume and the
faster your batteries will discharge. For
maximum battery life, make sure that the
brightness is set as low as possible.

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)

2. Click on All Programs.
3. Click on Security Panel Application -> Security
Panel Application.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the
user password.
USING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANEL
The 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 State
1. 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 State
1. 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 Entry
If 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.
PRECAUTIONS
Opening and Closing the Cover
By 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.

Touchpad Pointing
Device
The Touchpad pointing device built into your Tablet PC
is used to control the movement of the cursor to select
items on your display panel. The Touchpad is composed
of a cursor control, left and right buttons, and a scroll
button.
The cursor control works the same way a mouse does,
and moves the cursor around the display. 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)
CLICKING
Clicking 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. To right-click, move the cursor to the item you wish
to select, press the right button once, and then immedi-
ately release it. (Figure 2-20)
Figure 2-20. Clicking
DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does

Volume Control
Your Fujitsu Tablet PC 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] func-
tions keys. 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.

Pen and Active Digitizer
USING THE PEN
You 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 Pen
The 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 pressure
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.
INSTALLING A PEN TETHER
To prevent dropping or losing your pen, you should
attach it to your system using the pen tether that is
included with the system.
To attach the pen tether to your Tablet PC, perform the
following steps:
1. Attach the end of the pen tether with the smaller
loop to your pen. To do so, push the end of the
tether through the hole in the pen, then thread the
opposite end of the tether through the loop. (See
Figure 2-25.)
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 tap the pen 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 Switch
Barrel Switch
Use only the pen provided with your
Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that
were not designed for the LifeBook T
Series Tablet PC.

Figure 2-25. Installing a Pen Tether
2. Attach the end of the pen tether with the larger loop
to the attachment point on your tablet. To do so,
insert the end of the pen tether through the attach-
ment point, then feed the pen through the large
loop in the tether.
CALIBRATING THE PEN
In 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 Tablet and Pe n S e t t ings icon.
2. Click Calibrate.
3. Adjust the display of your Tablet PC to a comfort-
able angle.
4. Using the pen, firmly touch the screen directly on
the (+) symbol; the (+) symbol will move to the
next location.
5. Repeat step 4 in the four corners, then click OK.
REPLACING THE PEN TIP
With 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 2-26. Tip Removal Tool
To remove the tip, position the tip in the gap between
the two ends of the tool (Figure 2-26). 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 DIGITIZER
The 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 2-27)

Lithium ion battery, you can power on your Tablet PC.
(See figure 2-4 on page 11 for location).
Press the Suspend/Resume button to start your system.
When you are done working you can either leave your
Tablet PC in Standby mode, See “Standby Mode” on
page 38, or you can turn it off. See “Power Off” on
page 40.
When you Power On your Tablet PC, 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 Tablet PC will emit an audio warning and/
or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On
Self Test Messages” on page 67. 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 Tablet PC will load your operating system.
BOOT SEQUENCE
The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed
the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet PC’s
BIOS. When your Tablet PC is first turned on, the main
system memory is empty, and it needs to find instruc-
tions to start up your Tablet PC. This information is in
the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart
your Tablet PC, it goes through a boot sequence which
displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is
loaded. During booting, your Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC.
■You restart your Tablet PC from the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
■The software initiates a system restart. Example:
When you install a new application.
BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your Tablet PC. 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 Tablet PC.
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 Tablet PC.
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 Tablet PC’s BIOS is available online.
Please visit our service and support Web site at http://
www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support. Once there,
select Support, then select Tablet PCs under User’s
Guides. Select LifeBook Tablet PC BIOS Guides from the
pull-down menu for your Tablet PC series. If you are
unsure of your Tablet PC’s BIOS number, refer to your
packing slip.
When you turn on your Tablet PC, be sure
you have a power source. This means that
a battery is installed and charged, or that
the AC or Auto/Airline 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 Tablet PC during the
Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause
an error message to be displayed when
you turn your Tablet PC on the next time.
See “Power On Self Test Messages” on
page 67

Power Management
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC
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 Tablet PC battery from running down as
quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate
power saving profile, put your Tablet PC 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.
Table 3-1. System Power States
SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON
When your Tablet PC is active, the Suspend/Resume
button can be used to manually put your Tablet PC into
Standby mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button when
your Tablet PC 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 14 for location).
If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Suspend/
Resume button will return your Tablet PC to active
operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in
Standby mode by looking at the Power indicator. See
“Power Indicator” on page 17. If the indicator is visible
and not flashing, your Tablet PC is fully operational. If
the indicator is both visible and flashing, your Tablet PC
is in Standby mode. If the indicator is not visible at all,
the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernate mode
(See Hibernate Mode)
STANDBY MODE
Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your
Tablet PC’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
Tablet PC can be put in Standby 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.
■Closing the system cover.

Getting Started
from Standby mode, your Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC will not resume.
HIBERNATE MODE
The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your
Tablet PC’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of
the Suspend/Resume mode. Your Tablet PC is pre-
configured 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 36.
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 Settings, and then select
Control Panel -> Power Options.
2. Select Hibernation, and then select the box to
enable or disable this feature.
To use Hibernate mode with your system:
1. Click on the Start button, click Shut Down.
2. Select Hibernate option from the “What do you
want the computer to do” list.
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
Tablet PC 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 Shut Down.
2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK. Your Tablet PC will shut down and
reboot.
If you are running your Tablet PC on
battery power, be aware that the battery
continues to discharge while your Tablet
PC is in Standby mode, though not as fast
as when fully operational.
■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
Tablet PC in Standby or Hibernate
mode. The resume function of the
button cannot be disabled.
■If your Tablet PC 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 re-
initialized when the system restarts.
■The main advantage of using Hibernate
mode is that power is not required to
maintain your data. This is very impor-
tant if you will be leaving your Tablet PC
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.

User-Installable Features
Lithium ion Battery
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has a Lithium ion
battery that provides power for operating your Tablet
PC when no external power source is available. The
battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be
exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemi-
cals or other hazards.
The Lithium ion battery operating time may become
shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
■When used at temperatures lower than 41° F (5° C) or
higher than 95° F (35° C). 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/ Level Indicators” on page 17.
■When using a high current device such as a modem,
CD-ROM drive, or hard drive, using the AC adapter
will conserve your battery life.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
If you want to know the condition of the 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 Tablet PC 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
longer if your Tablet PC is in use while the battery is
charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly,
put your Tablet PC into Standby mode, or turn it off
while the adapter is charging the battery. See “Power
Management” on page 38.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, your Tablet PC will
beep every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator
will flash. If you do not respond to the low battery
alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they
are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a
multiple beep alarm and the Battery Level indicator will
show a dead battery. Your Tablet PC will then go into
Standby mode to try and protect your data for as long as
possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not be
lost once the Tablet PC reaches this point.
■Do not leave a faulty battery in your
Tablet PC. It may damage your AC
adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter,
another battery or your Tablet PC itself.
It may also prevent operation of your
Tablet PC by draining all available cur-
rent into the bad battery.
■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 infor-
mation elsewhere, contact your support
representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu.
Actual battery life will vary based on
screen brightness, applications, features,
power management settings, battery
condition and other customer preferences.
CD-ROM drive 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.
Make sure that the Battery Charging
indicator and the percentage charge is
shown inside the Battery Level icon on the
Status Indicator Panel.
Using heavy current devices such as a
modem or frequent CD-ROM and
PCMCIA powered external device accesses
may prevent charging completely.
■You may not be able to hear the alarm if
the volume control is set too low or is
turned off by the hardware or software.
However, you will be able to see the
Battery Level indicator flash. Once the
low battery alarm occurs you must save
all your data and put your Tablet PC into
Standby mode until you can provide a
new power source. You should provide a
charged battery or AC or Auto/Airline
Adapter as soon as possible.
■When you are in Standby mode there
must always be at least one power
source active. If you remove all power
sources while your Tablet PC is in
Standby mode, any data that has not
been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Four
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator just like the normal Standby mode. Once your
Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC 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 on page 17) 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
Tablet PC.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC comes with one
battery pack; you might want to consider purchasing a
spare. By keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can
immediately swap with one that is not charged.
There are two ways to swap batteries: cold-swapping and
warm-swapping. Cold-swapping means swapping
batteries when the system has been powered down;
warm-swapping is performed when the system is in
Standby mode.
Cold-swapping batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery compartment,
follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)
1. Have a charged battery ready to install.
2. Shut down your tablet and disconnect the AC
adapter.
3. Press the battery release latches to open the
compartment.
4. Remove the battery from the compartment.
5. Slide the new battery into the compartment.
6. Close the compartment and the battery release
latches will click into place.
7. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.
Figure 4-1. Removing the Battery
Warm-swapping Batteries
To warm-swap batteries in your battery compartment
follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)
1. Close any open files and put your Tablet PC into
Standby mode.
2. Press the battery release latches to open the
compartment.
3. Remove the battery from the compartment.
4. Slide the new battery into the compartment.
5. Close the compartment and the battery release
latches will click into place.

You have only a few minutes to perform a
warm-swapping before the internal
bridge battery runs out of power. Have
the charged battery nearby when
performing a warm battery swap.
If the Lithium ion battery connector is not
fully seated, you may not be able to use
your Tablet PC or charge your battery.

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY
Once you have changed the system memory capacity by
either adding or removing a memory upgrade module,
be sure to check that your tablet has recognized the
change.
You can check the memory capacity by clicking [Start]
-> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon.
Select the General tab and check the amount of memory
under “Computer.”
The amount of memory displayed should be approxi-
mately the total of all memory modules installed. There
may be a discrepancy of 8 MB which is allocated for
fixed video memory.
Your Tablet PC uses Dynamic Video
Memory Technology (DVMT), which
allows the video driver to dynamically
determine the amount of memory that is
used. Your Tablet PC can use a maximum
of 128 MB of system memory for video
functions.
If the total memory displayed is incorrect,
check that your memory upgrade module
is properly installed. (If the module is
properly installed and the capacity is still
not correctly recognized, see

Device Ports
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC and the optional Port
Replicator come equipped with multiple Device Ports to
which you can connect an external device including: disk
drives, keyboards, modems, printers, etc.
MODEM (RJ-11) JACK
The modem (RJ-11) jack is used for an internal modem.

(See Figure 2-7 on page 15 for location)
1. Align the connector with the jack opening.
2. Push the connector into the jack until it is seated.
3. Plug the other end of the telephone cable into a
telephone outlet.
INTERNAL LAN (RJ-45) JACK
The internal LAN (RJ-45) jack is used for an internal 10/
100/1000 Base-T/Tx (Gigabit) Ethernet connection. You
will need to configure your Tablet PC to work with your
particular network. (Please refer to your network
administrator for information on your network
configuration.) To connect the LAN cable follow these
easy steps: (See Figure 2-7 on page 15 for location)

instructions that came with your port replicator. (See
Figure 2-8 on page 16 for location)
UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS PORTS
The two Universal Serial Bus 2.0 ports (USB) allow you
to connect USB devices such as external floppy disk
drives, external DVD drives, game pads, pointing
devices, keyboards and/or speakers. USB 2.0 is down-
ward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices, so older USB
devices will work with these ports. USB 2.0 is a much
faster design, running forty times faster than USB 1.1.
In order to connect a USB device, follow these easy steps:
(See Figure 2-7 on page 15 for location)
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
IEEE 1394 PORT
The 4-pin 1394 port allows you to connect digital
devices that are compliant with the IEEE 1394 standard
(also known as “FireWire”). The IEEE 1394 connection
is easy to use, connect, and disconnect. This port allows
up to 400 Mbps transfer rate. A third-party application
may be required to operate your device with the 1394
port.
INFRARED PORT
The Infrared IrDA 1.1 (4 Mbps) port allows for wireless
data transfer between your Tablet PC and other IrDA-
compatible devices, such as another computer or a
printer, without the use of a cable. (See Figure 2-7 on
page 15 for location)
The internal modem is not intended for
use with Digital PBX systems. Do not
connect the internal modem to a Digital
PBX as it may cause serious damage to the
internal modem or your entire LifeBook T
Series Tablet PC. Consult your PBX
manufacturer’s documentation for details.
Some hotels have Digital PBX systems. Be
sure to find out BEFORE you connect your
modem.
■The internal modem is designed to the
ITU V.90 standard. Its maximum speed
of 53000 bps is the highest allowed by
FCC, and its actual connection rate
depends on the line conditions. The
maximum speed is 33600 bps at upload.
■The internal modem on all LifeBook T
Series Tablet PC’s from Fujitsu Computer
Systems Corporation are certified for use
in the United States and Canada.
■Depending upon the configuration of
your system, your LifeBook Tablet PC
may have either a LAN jack or an IEEE
1394 jack.
Note that the optional Port Replicator is
designed to cover the LAN jack located on
the system. This design ensures that the
LAN jack on the Port Replicator is the only
one used when the Port Replicator is
installed.
The 1394 port used in this system uses a
four-pin configuration. If you intend to
interface with devices which use a six-pin
configuration, you will need to purchase
an adapter.
