![18LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PCFigure 2-16. KeyboardKeyboardUSING THE KEYBOARDYour LifeBook P Series notebook/Tablet PC has an inte-gral 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 system 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.

![25Getting to Know Your LifeBookVolume ControlYour Fujitsu LifeBook notebook/Tablet PC 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/Tablet PC. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your notebook/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.

![30LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PCStarting Your LifeBookPOWER ONThe Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LifeBook P Series notebook/Tablet PC from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your notebook/Tablet PC. (See figure 2-4 on page 9 for loca-tion).Press the Suspend/Resume button to start your system. When you are done working you can either leave your system 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 system, 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 system 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/Tablet PC will load your oper-ating system.BOOT SEQUENCEThe procedure for starting-up your notebook/Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your system’s BIOS. When your notebook/Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your notebook/Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your system, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your system 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/Tablet PC.■You restart your notebook/Tablet PC 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/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 system.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/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 GuideA guide to your system’s BIOS is available online. Please visit our service and support website at http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support. Once there, select LifeBook BIOS Guides from the pull-down menu for your notebook/Tablet PC series. If you are unsure of your system’s BIOS number, refer to your packing slip.When you turn on your notebook/Tablet PC, 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/Tablet PC during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error message to be displayed when you turn your system on the next time. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 58If 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 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WB0040.USERS-MANUAL-1/User-Guide-725292-Page-37.png)
![40LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PCCHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITYOnce you have changed the system memory capacity by either adding or removing a memory upgrade module, be sure to check that your system 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 several megabytes which are allocated for fixed video memory.Your notebook/Tablet PC uses Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT), which allows the video driver to dynamically determine the amount of memory that is used. Your system 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 Troubleshooting on page 52.P Series.book Page 40 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WB0040.USERS-MANUAL-1/User-Guide-725292-Page-47.png)
