Figure 2-10. Opening the display
Display Panel
The convertible design of your LifeBook P Series note-
book/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
Lift the display cover backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable viewing
angle. (Figure 2-10)
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 2-12).
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 2-13). Turn the display 180 degrees so that it
is facing backwards. (Figure 2-14)
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 2-11). The latch will click twice and the top
latch disappears, and the bottom latch appears (See
“B” in Figure 2-11). Lay the display flush against the

ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS
Once you have turned on your system, 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 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 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 Control Panel to Adjust Brightness
Windows XP Pro:
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.
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
To adjust brightness with the Tablet and Pen Settings
utility, click Start -> Control Panel -> Tablet and Pen
Settings, then select the Display tab.
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
power scenarios.
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/
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.

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 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

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 2-16)
WINDOWS KEYS
Your LifeBook P Series notebook/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 2-16)
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 2-16)

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/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 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.

LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PC
Starting Your LifeBook
POWER ON
The 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 SEQUENCE
The 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 UTILITY
The 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 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 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 Guide
A 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 58
If your data security settings require it, you
may be asked for a password before the
BIOS main menu will appear.

LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PC
Power Management
Your LifeBook P Series notebook/Tablet PC has many
options and features for conserving battery power. Some
of these features are automatic and need no user inter-
vention, 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 note-
book/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 system battery from running down as
quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate
power saving profile, put your system 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 notebook/Tablet PC is active, the Suspend/
Resume button can be used to manually put your system
into Standby mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button
when your notebook/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 11 for location).
If your notebook/Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the
Suspend/Resume button will return your system to
active operation. You can tell whether or not your
system is in Standby mode by looking at the Power indi-
cator. See “” on page 14. If the indicator is visible and not
flashing, your system is fully operational. If the indicator
is both visible and flashing, your system is in Standby
mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off
or your system is in Hibernate mode (See Hibernate
Mode)
STANDBY MODE
Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your
notebook/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 system 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.
Your notebook/Tablet PC’s system memory typically
stores the file(s) on which you are working, open appli-
cation(s) information, and any other data required to
support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume
Power Mode System Activity Events causing system to enter mode state
Fully On Mode System is running. CPU, system bus, and
all other interfaces operate at full speed.
■From Standby mode: System operation resumed
(Suspend/Resume button pressed, resume on
modem ring, resume on time).
■From Hibernation mode: Suspend/Resume button
pressed.
■From Off mode: Suspend/Resume button pressed.
Standby Mode
(Suspend-to-RAM)

(Suspend-to-Disk)
Windows saves desktop state (including
open files and documents) to hard disk.
CPU stops. All other devices are turned
off.
■Suspend timeout occurs.
■Clicking Start -> Shut Down -> Hibernate
(It may be necessary to Enable Hibernate Support
from Windows Power Options.)
■Low battery condition

Getting Started
operation from Standby mode, your system will return
to the point where it left off. To resume operation, you
must use the Suspend/Resume button to resume opera-
tion, and there must be an adequate power source avail-
able, or your system will not resume.
HIBERNATE MODE
The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your
notebook/Tablet PC’s system memory to the hard drive
as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. Your system 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 30.
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/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 Tur n Of f
Computer.
2. Select the Restart button from within the Turn Off
Computer window.
If you are running your notebook/Tablet
PC on battery power, be aware that the
battery continues to discharge while your
system 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
notebook/Tablet PC in Standby or
Hibernate mode. The resume function of
the button cannot be disabled.
■If your notebook/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 trans-
ferred 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 system 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 P Series notebook/Tablet PC has a
Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating
your notebook/Tablet PC when no external power
source is available. The battery is durable and long
lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme tempera-
tures, high voltages, chemicals 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 “” on page 14.
■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 notebook/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 system is in use while the battery is
charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly,
put your system into Standby mode, or turn it off while
the adapter is charging the battery. See “Power Manage-
ment” on page 32.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, the Battery Level indi-
cator will glow red. If you do not respond to the low
battery alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge
until they are too low to operate. Your notebook/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 system reaches
this point.
■Do not leave a faulty battery in your sys-
tem. It may damage your AC adapter,
optional Auto/Airline adapter, or your
notebook/Tablet PC itself. It may also
prevent operation of your notebook/
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 Battery Level indicator
icon on the Status Indicator Panel light.
Using heavy current devices such as a
modem or frequent CD-ROM and
PCMCIA powered external device accesses
may prevent charging completely.
■Once the low battery indicator appears
you must save all your data and put your
notebook/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 notebook/Tablet PC
is in Standby mode, any data that has
not been saved to the hard drive will be
lost.

LifeBook P Series Notebook/Tablet PC
Once your notebook/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 system
while an adapter is charging the battery.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Your LifeBook P Series notebook/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
hot-swapping. Cold-swapping means swapping batteries
when the system has been powered down; hot-swapping
is performed when the system is powered by AC power.

cannot be removed, you must save all of
your open files, close any open applica-
tions and shut down your notebook/Tablet

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.

your system, your LifeBook notebook/
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.
