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.

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 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

onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on

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)

Tablet PC. 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

computer. 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/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 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)

Resume system logic remains powered

and RAM remains powered to maintain

active data. All other devices are turned

off.

■Standby timeout occurs.

■Suspend request issued by software or by pressing

the Suspend/Resume button.

■Low battery.

Hibernation Mode

(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

Power Off System is fully powered off except for

logic components required for Suspend/

Resume button and real-time clock

operation.

■System shutdown.

■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.

P Series.book Page 37 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 1:44 PM

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.

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.

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.
