TERTIARY FUNCTIONS OF APPLICATION AND NAVIGATION BUTTONS
While you are booting up your system, the Application
Buttons and Navigation buttons can be used for entering
and navigating through the Basic Input-Output System
(BIOS), and for invoking the Advanced Options Menu,
where you can enter different modes (such as Safe
Mode).
The BIOS is a program and a set of parameters that are
stored in ROM, which tests and operates your Tablet PC
from when you turn it on until it loads your installed
operating system from disk. Information from the BIOS
is transferred to the operating system to provide it with
information on the configuration and status of the hard-
ware.
The system is booting up while the Fujitsu logo is
displayed immediately after turning on the system. The
table below indicates how the buttons act while the
system is booting up and while you are in the BIOS.
Table 1-5. Tertiary Functions of Application and Navigation Buttons
Buttons/icons Purpose (when pressed while the system is booting up)
Ctl-Alt-Del
Button
Pressing the Ctl-Alt-Del button while the system is booting up takes you into BIOS setup. This is the
same as if you had tapped [F2] on a keyboard.
EMail Button
Pressing the EMail button while the system is booting up opens the Boot Options menu. This is the
same as if you had tapped [F12] on a keyboard.
Orientation
Button
Pressing the Orientation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the selected item (if
applicable) to change to the next item. Pressing this is the same as tapping the spacebar on a
keyboard.
Escape Button
Pressing the Esc button while the BIOS is open acts to escape from the BIOS. This is the same as if
you had tapped [Esc] on a keyboard.
Enter Button
Pressing the Ent button while the BIOS is open acts the same as the [Ent] button on a keyboard.
Function Button
Pressing the Fn button while the system is displaying the operating system boot menu, opens the
Advanced Operating System Options menu. This menu allows you to enter different operating
system modes (such as Safe Mode). Pressing this button is the same as if you had tapped [F8] on a
keyboard.
Pressing the top half of the upper navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the
cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move up. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Up on a
keyboard. This feature is also functional in the operating system boot menu.
Pressing the bottom half of the upper navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes
the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move down. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Down
on a keyboard. This feature is also functional in the operating system boot menu.

SECURITY FUNCTIONS OF APPLICATION BUTTONS
Five buttons are used when implementing security functions. Four of the buttons are used to enter the password, and
the fifth is used as an Enter button. Instructions for using the security feature follow the table.
Table 1-6. Security Functions of Application Buttons
SETTING UP THE SECURITY PANEL
When you receive your Tablet PC, the security panel
application is pre-installed without any passwords. The
following sections provide detailed information on your

Enter Button
After entering the button strokes, push this button to
enter the password into the Tablet PC. (Figure 1-6)
PASSWORDS
The user and supervisor password may be set on this
Tablet PC. A supervisor password is typically the same
for all Tablet PC’s and notebooks in a work group, office,
or company to allow for system management. Individual
computers in a group environment should not use a
common password. A password consists of one to five
button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke
consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta-
neously.
The following are valid button strokes:
■Pushing [4] by itself
■Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time
■Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time
■Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time
The following are valid passwords. The numbers within
braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one
button.
■{[2]+[3]}, [1], [Enter]
■[4], [enter]
■{[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [Enter]
Setting Passwords
When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set.
You have a choice of having no password or setting a
supervisor and user password. You must set the super-
visor password before the user password.

Using Your Stylistic ST5000
Using the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC
This chapter covers the fundamental concepts, basic
system operation and use, and system functions of the
Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC. You should familiarize
yourself with this information before you attempt to
operate the system.
SYSTEM STATES
Before you begin using the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet
PC, review the different system states (or modes) that the
system can use. Being familiar with these states will help
you determine whether it is appropriate to turn on,
resume, suspend, hibernate or shut down the system
when you begin or end a session. System behavior for
each system state is described briefly in the following,
with each system state listed in decreasing order of power
usage:
•On state: The system is running and the display
screen is on.
•Idle state: Some system functions are regulated or
turned off to conserve power. The display screen may
be turned off. The system returns to the On state
when pen activity or other input is detected.
•Suspend-to-RAM mode (S3): System operation is
suspended. Most system functions are turned off to
conserve power. Power to memory is on, maintaining
data in programs that were running before system
operation was suspended. The system does not
respond to the pen or other input when in Suspend-
to-RAM mode. Refer to the “Resuming System
Operation” section later in this chapter for
information on returning the system to the On state.
•Hibernate mode (Save-to-Disk) (S4): System
operation is suspended. All system functions are
turned off to conserve power. Active data in programs
that were running before suspending system
operation is stored on the hard disk drive. The system
does not respond to the pen or other input. Refer to
the “Resuming System Operation” section later in this
chapter for information on returning the system to
the On state.
•Off state: All system functions are turned off to
conserve power. The system does not respond to the
pen or other input. The system boots at the next
system power-on.
Your system may be configured to enter some of these
states automatically after a period of inactivity to
conserve battery power.
When you use the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC, you
can change the current system state in a number of ways,
depending on the system’s current state. To determine the
current system state, observe the Power icon in the Status
display. Table 2-1 on page 22 gives the different system
states represented by the Power icon and describes how
you can change the system state from the current state.
Prior to using your system, be sure to fully
charge the battery if you plan to run on
battery power. Failure to do so may result
in erratic performance.
The system consumes the same amount of
power whether it is in Hibernate (Save-to-
Disk) mode or the Off state.

Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC User’s Guide – Section Two
Table 2-1 Changing System States
*Information in Table 2-1 on page 22 is supplied to help you understand which system states your system can enter from
the current system state. Refer to the procedures on starting the system, shutting down the system, suspending system
operation, and resuming system operation given later in this chapter.
†Your system may be configured to use either Suspend-to-RAM mode or Hibernate mode.
POWERING UP THE TABLET PC
Follow the procedure below to start the Stylistic ST5000
Series Tablet PC. Before you begin, confirm that the
system is in the Off state. To do so, observe the Status
display. If the Power icon is not visible in the Status
display, the system is in Off state or in Hibernate (Save-
to-Disk) mode and it is safe to perform this procedure. If
the Power icon is visible (either blinking or on continu-
ously), do not perform this procedure. See “System
States” earlier in this chapter for details on modes repre-
sented by the Power icon.
1. Ensure that the battery in your Tablet PC is
sufficiently charged, or connect an external power
source such as the AC adapter or auto adapter to
your Tablet PC.
2. Press the Power On/Suspend/Resume button to start
the system.
After performing initialization, the system starts the
operating system installed on the hard disk drive. Once
the operating system is running, you can use the system.
SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to shut down and turn off your
system:
1. If system operation has been suspended, resume
system operation. See “Resuming System Opera-
tion” later in this chapter for details.
2. Save your work and close all running programs.
3. Choose Shut Down from the Windows Start menu.
4. Carry out the Shut Down command.
The system is now in the Off state.
SUSPENDING SYSTEM OPERATION
The Tablet PC allows you to suspend the system opera-
tion without closing programs or exiting the operating
system. Use this feature to conserve battery power when
a system shutdown is not practical or when the battery
needs to be changed.

to your hard disk.)
2. The Power icon either flashes (Suspend-to-RAM) or
is not displayed (Hibernate) when system operation
is suspended, depending on how your system is
configured. At this point, programs that were
running are stopped, active data is saved, and the
system enters one of two different low-power states,
or suspend modes, as explained in the following
paragraphs.
3. Observe the Power icon in the Status display to deter-
mine which suspend mode your system is using.
■Power icon is blinking: Suspend-to-RAM mode.
In this mode, active data is saved by maintaining power
to RAM while most other system components are
powered off. The Battery Gauge icon in the Status
display indicates the battery charge level.
■Power icon is not displayed: Hibernate (Save-to-Disk)
mode.
In this mode, active data is stored on the hard disk
drive and power usage is reduced to the same level used
in the Off state. When the system is in Hibernate mode,
the Battery Gauge icon is not visible in the Status
display. In this mode, there is no danger of losing data
if battery power is lost.
If you have successfully performed this procedure,
system operation is now suspended. Refer to
“Resuming System Operation” later in this chapter to
resume system operation. Also, note the following with
regard to suspending system operation:
■You can remove the battery while the system is in
Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate modes in order to
install a charged battery. To prevent losing unsaved
data, wait until system operation has suspended before
you remove the battery. Note that after you remove the
battery, you have approximately five minutes to replace
it with a new battery or to plug in a power supply
before the bridge battery is depleted.
■Your system may be configured to suspend operation
automatically after a period of inactivity.
■Your system may be configured to enter Hibernate
mode automatically after a period of time in Suspend-
to-RAM mode.
■The system uses a small amount of battery power when
in Suspend-to-RAM mode. Eventually, the battery will
become fully discharged.
■If the battery charge drops to a Low-Battery Warning
level while the system is running, the system will beep
periodically. If this occurs, suspend system operation,
shut down the system, or attach an external power
source, such as the AC adapter, to the Tablet PC.
■If the battery charge drops to a Critically Low level
while the system is running, the system is forced into a
Suspend-to-RAM or Hibernate mode. If this occurs,
you must either install a charged battery, or connect an
external power source such as the AC adapter before
you can resume system operation. (If the charge drops
to a Critically Low level while the system is in Suspend-
to-RAM mode, the system stays in that mode until
power is restored or totally dissipated.)
■Suspending system operation interrupts data commu-
nications; therefore, some programs may block the
system from suspending to prevent an interruption.
■The suspend action of the Suspend/Resume button
may be disabled to prevent accidental interruption. If
this is the case, pressing the Suspend/Resume button
will not suspend system operation as described here.
(In this case, suspend mode can only be achieved using
the system software). Contact your local help desk or
reseller if your system configuration is not suitable.
■If your system is equipped with a PC Card that allows
you to connect to a wired or wireless network, you may
be logged off the network after a period of inactivity
while system operation is suspended. Contact your
network administrator or help desk, or call Fujitsu
Service and Support at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-
5487) for details on your network log-off parameters.
If you are replacing the battery, wait until
system operation is suspended and the
power icon is flashing before you remove
the battery. Failure to do so could result in
loss of your unsaved data. (Note that if the
Resume On LAN function is enabled in the
BIOS setup, you should not remove the
battery unless the system is shut down.
When Resume ON LAN is enabled, the
bridge battery is disabled in order to
optimize battery life.) If you will not be using the system for an
extended period, shut down the system
rather than using Suspend-to-RAM mode.

RESUMING SYSTEM OPERATION
To resume operation from either Suspend-to-RAM or
Hibernate modes, press the Suspend/Resume button.
■From Suspend-to-RAM mode
Status lights indicate that the system state is changing.
It may take up to a minute before the system returns to
the On state and system operation resumes. Note that
the display turns on shortly before the pen becomes
active due to the power-up sequences observed by the
system.
■From Hibernate (Save-to-Disk) mode
Active data is read from the hard disk drive, and the
system returns to the On state after a short time.
Use the system as you normally would once system oper-
ation resumes.
All programs resume at the point where execution
stopped when system operation was suspended.
ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
There are four ways to adjust your display’s brightness:
■Click the Tablet icon in the system tray at the bottom
right of the screen. (When the cursor is on top of the
icon, a message stating “Change tablet and pen set-
tings” is displayed.) When the Tablet and Pen Settings
window appears, select the Display tab, and move the
Screen Brightness slider to change the brightness.
■Click Start -> Control Panel -> Tablet and Pen Set-
tings. Select the Display tab, and move the Screen
Brightness slider to change the brightness.
■Click the Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray at the
bottom right of the screen. (When the cursor is on top
of the icon, a message stating “Fujitsu Menu...” is dis-
played.) Select Tablet and Pen Settings and select the
Display tab. Move the Screen Brightness slider to
change the brightness.
■Press the Fn key twice to invoke the Fujitsu menu and
select Tablet and Pen Settings.
USING THE PEN
You can use the Stylistic ST5000 Series pen to generate
and create electronic “ink”, to select items, and to navi-
gate 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 2-1. Stylistic ST5000 Series Pen
The screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately 1/8
inch (3-5mm) from the screen. The pen has three
switches: a tip switch and a barrel button toggle switch
with switches at both ends. When activated, the tip
switch corresponds to the left mouse button, and the
front toggle (closest to the pen tip) barrel button switch,
when used in combination with the tip switch, corre-
sponds to the right mouse button. The rear toggle of the
barrel button switch acts as an electronic ink “eraser”
when it is so configured in the Control Panel. Note that
the erasing feature is application-dependent.
Note that power to several system
components must be restored before
system operation resumes. Allow sufficient
time for system operation to resume
before attempting to use the system. If
your system uses Hibernate mode, it will
take longer to resume operation as
compared to using Suspend-to-RAM
mode. Time is needed to read data from
the hard disk drive.
Depending upon whether you are running
your system on battery or AC power, the
default screen brightness settings will be
different. The screen brightness default for
running on battery is lower than that on
AC power in order to optimize battery life.
The Stylistic ST5000 pen is a sophisticated,
high-quality electronic instrument that can
be damaged if used improperly. Treat the
pen as you would any precision device.
The following list contains guidelines for
proper pen handling:
• Do not gesture with the pen, use it as a
pointer, or tap it 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
and for attaching a pen tether.
• 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. To avoid damage, the pen
should be stored in the pen holder
when not in use.

Using Your Stylistic ST5000
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 - 5mm) 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, tap twice on the object
quickly.
•To move, or “drag”, an object on the screen, place the
pen tip directly over the object, then as you hold the
pen tip against the screen, move the pen.
CALIBRATING THE PEN
For information about calibrating your pen, refer to the
literature that came with the operating system.
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. Do 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 2-2.)
Figure 2-2. Installing a Pen Tether
2. Attach the end of the pen tether with the larger loop
to the attachment point on your pen 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.
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 2-3. Tip Removal Tool
To remove the tip, position the tip in the gap between the
two ends of the tool. 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.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The Stylistic ST5000 Series battery can be charged while
it is installed in the Tablet PC.
To d o s o:
1. Connect a DC power source, such as the AC adapter,
to the DC input connector on the Tablet PC. The DC
Input icon appears in the Status display. If the battery
• Ensure that a screen protector is installed
on the Tablet PC screen before you use
the pen. The warranty does not cover a
scratched screen.
•Use only the pen provided with your
Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that
were not designed for the Stylistic
ST5000 Series Tablet PC.

charge is below 90%, the battery begins charging
and the Charging icon appears in the Status display.
If the battery charge is 90% or higher when you
connect DC power, the battery will not charge,
preventing battery overcharging.
2. Look at the Battery Gauge icon in the Status display
to determine the percent of charge in the battery. See
“Status Display” in Chapter 1 of this manual for a
description of the Battery Gauge icon.
As long as DC power remains connected to the Tablet PC,
the charging process continues until the battery charge
reaches 100%.
Also note the following with respect to charging the
battery:
• You can use the system, suspend system operation, or
shut down and turn off the system without
interrupting the charging process; however, using the
system while the battery is charging will cause the
battery to charge at a slower rate.
• As noted in the procedure above, the system will not
begin charging the battery if the battery charge level
is 90% or higher when the system is initially
connected to external DC power. (This prevents the
battery from being overcharged.)
• The battery uses Lithium ion battery cells which have
no “memory effect.” You do not need to discharge
the battery before you begin charging.
REMOVING AND INSTALLING THE BATTERY
The battery can be removed from the Tablet PC and
swapped with a charged battery. The battery can then be
charged in an external charger if one is available. To
remove the battery from the Tablet PC:
1. Choose one of the following:
• If a charged battery is available, you can suspend
system operation. A built-in “bridge” battery will
maintain the system in Suspend-to-RAM mode for
about 5 minutes while the battery is removed; this
allows time for replacement with a charged battery.
• If a charged battery is not available, save your work
and close all running programs, then shut down
the system or Hibernate (Save-to-Disk).
• Plug in an external DC power source.
2. Slide the battery release latch in the direction
indicated. (See Figure 2-4 on page 26 for location).
3. Pull the battery away from the system, as shown in
the illustration and remove the battery from the
Tablet PC.
If you are using an external battery charger, refer to the
instructions provided with the battery charger.
To install the battery:
1. Orient the battery with the slides in the empty
battery tray. Slide the battery into the tray and press
it firmly until it is seated. When it is properly seated,
the battery release latch should return to position
and lock the battery.
Figure 2-4. Removing the Battery
Once the battery is installed, you can resume system
operation or start and use your system normally.
TIPS FOR CONSERVING BATTERY POWER
You can extend the charge life of your battery by
conserving battery power. (Your results may vary
depending on your application and how the system is
configured.) Here are some suggestions to help you
conserve battery power:
• Use an external power source such as the AC adapter
whenever the system is docked.
• Suspend system operation if you know that you
won’t be using the system for a while.
• Shut down the system if you won’t be using the
system for an extended period of time.
• Switch the wireless LAN switch Off when wireless
LAN functionality in not needed (applicable only for
systems with optional wireless LAN).
• Use power management (available on the desktop) to
help you conserve power automatically.
• Reduce the brightness of the LCD.
• Battery life is dependent upon the operating system,
power settings, and applications in use.
Under Federal, state, or local law, it may
be illegal to dispose of batteries by putting
them in the trash. Be sure to dispose of
batteries in accordance with local
government regulations.

Using Your Stylistic ST5000
Operation of the Bridge Battery
When installed in the Tablet PC, the battery provides
power to some system components—even when the
system is in the Off state. When the battery is removed,
power is supplied to these components by a “bridge”
battery that is built into the Tablet PC.
The bridge battery is not designed for long-term opera-
tion. To maintain the bridge battery properly, observe the
following measures:
• To prevent draining the bridge battery, always store
the system with a charged battery installed.
• If the bridge battery becomes drained, it takes
approximately 8 hours for it to be fully recharged.
• The bridge battery charges when the AC Adapter is
connected and the system is in On or Off states or
Suspend mode. It charges from the battery only when
the system is in the On state.
MODEM CONNECTION
The Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC is designed to
accept a standard RJ-11 telephone plug. Connect the plug
to the modem jack located on the left-hand side of the
Tablet PC (See Figure 1-5 on page 6 for location). The tele-
phone plug can be inserted whether or not the Tablet PC
has power applied.
If you need assistance configuring the Stylistic ST5000
Series Tablet PC modem or LAN, contact your local help
desk or reseller.
MEMORY STICK/SD CARD SLOT
Your Tablet PC supports Memory Stick and SD flash
memory cards on which you can store and transfer data
to and from a variety of digital devices. These cards use
flash memory architecture, which means they don’t need
a power source to retain data.
Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed by
Sony Electronics. Memory Stick allows you to record,
transfer and share digital content, such as digital pictures,
movies, music, voice, and computer data and applica-
tions.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory
Sticks, but they are shorter. Like the Memory Stick, SD
Cards allow portable storage among a variety of devices,
such as cell phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, and
PDAs. SD Cards transfer data quickly, with low battery
consumption. Like the memory stick, it uses flash
memory architecture.
Figure 2-5. Memory Stick and Secure Digital Card
Inserting Memory Stick/SD Cards
Memory Sticks and SD Cards are inserted in the Memory
Stick/SD Card slot (Figure 1-4). To insert a Memory Stick
or SD Card, follow these steps:
1. See your Memory Stick or SD Card manual for
instructions on the insertion of your card. Some
cards may require that your system is off while
inserting them.
2. Make sure there is no card currently in the slot. If
there is, see Removing a Memory Stick/SD Card.
3. Insert your card into the slot with the product label
facing up.
4. Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in
the connector.
• The bridge battery function is disabled if
Wake On LAN is enabled in the BIOS.
• The system arrives with the bridge
battery in a discharged state. Be sure to
charge it sufficiently before relying upon
it to support the system in the event of
battery removal.
The internal 56 Kbps LAN/modem module
installed in the Stylistic ST5000 Series
Tablet PC has actual maximum transfer
rates of 53 Kbps (receive), 33.6 Kbps
(send), and 14.4 Kbps (fax). Download
rates are limited to 53 Kbps in the United
States due to FCC restrictions.
Note that MagicGate functions are not
supported by this slot.
■Inserting or removing a Memory Stick
or SD Card during your system’s shut-
down or bootup process may damage
the card and/or your computer.
■Do not insert a card into a slot if there is
water or any other substance on the card
as you may permanently damage the
card, your Tablet PC, or both.

Care and Maintenance
This chapter gives you pointers on how to care for and
maintain your Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC.
CARING FOR YOUR TABLET PC
Please note the following information regarding proper
treatment of your Tablet PC:
■Your Tablet PC is a durable but sensitive electronic device.
Treat it with respect and care.
■Make a habit of transporting the system in a suitable car-
rying case.
■Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always
follow installation and operation instructions closely.
■If you accidentally spill liquid on your Tablet PC:
1. Turn it off.
2. Position it so that the liquid can run out.
3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.
4. If your Tablet PC will not boot up after it has dried
out, call your support representative.
■Do not use your Tablet PC in a wet environment (near a
bathtub, swimming pool).
■Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are
approved for your system.
■Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental
hazards.
■Do not expose your Tablet PC to direct sunlight for long
periods of time as excessive temperatures may damage
your system.
■Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.
■Do not carry your system in a bag or briefcase while it is
running; doing so could result in overheating or hard disk
drive problems.
■If you are carrying your system in a briefcase, or any other
carrying case, make sure that there are no objects in the
case pressing on the display.
■Do not drop your Tablet PC or touch the screen with any
sharp objects.
PROTECTING THE DISPLAY SCREEN
The Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC is designed to
provide you with years of service. Using a screen
protector will help ensure the screen remains as clear as
possible. When installed, the screen protector becomes a
durable, replaceable writing surface that protects the
display screen from abrasion.
To obtain additional screen protectors, use Fujitsu part
number FPCSP08AP (6-pack) when ordering. Additional
information about installation is included with the
screen protectors.
To install a new screen protector on your Tablet PC:
1. If a screen protector is already installed on the display
screen, remove it before installing the new screen
protector.
The screen protector is held onto the display screen
surface by a thin strip of adhesive around the edges. A
notch in one corner of the screen protector allows
you to slide your fingernail under the screen
protector for easy removal.
2. Clean the display by wiping the screen gently using a
soft cotton cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
Ensure that all residue has been removed from the
screen before applying a new screen protector.
Remove the protective coating from the adhesive side
of the screen protector first, as shown in Figure 3-1.
.
Figure 3-1. Removing the Protective Sheet
3. Apply the screen protector to the display screen
surface. When doing so, orient the screen protector
with the adhesive side of the screen protector facing
the display screen and the notched corner of the
screen protector oriented as shown in Figure 3-2.
During normal use of the Tablet PC, small
particles from the environment can become
embedded in the pen tip and scratch the
screen. To prevent scratching the screen,
ensure that a screen protector is installed
before using your Tablet PC. The warranty
does not cover a scratched screen.
■The Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC is
not waterproof. Do not pour liquids on
the system or wash it with a heavily
soaked cloth.
■Do not place items on the top of the dis-
play, or damage may occur.

Figure 3-2. Installing the screen protector
4. Apply pressure to the screen protector with your
finger using a continuous wiping motion along the
edges. The adhesive sets completely within 48 hours.
To ensure a good seal between the screen protector
and the display, do not lift the screen protector from
the display once it has been applied.
5. Remove the protective plastic cover from the face of
the screen protector, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3. Removing the protective cover
6. Clean any residue left behind by the protective
coating from the exposed surface of the screen
protector by wiping gently with a soft cotton cloth
dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the screen
protector with a soft dry cloth to remove any low-
tack adhesive; this will help prevent the pen tip from
squeaking.
STORING THE TABLET PC
Store the Stylistic ST5000 Series Tablet PC in the Off
state with a fully charged battery installed. You can store
the Tablet PC in the Off state for about 30 days with a
fully charged battery installed. After this period, the
battery should be recharged or replaced with a charged
battery.
If you intend to store the Tablet PC for a longer period of
time, the small battery that maintains system time may
need to be replaced. Replacement of the clock battery
should only be performed by authorized technicians.
AVOIDING OVERHEATING
The Tablet PC monitors its internal temperature. As the
internal temperature approaches the tolerable limits of
heat-sensitive components, system functions are auto-
matically limited or turned off to prevent damage.
To protect your notebook from damage and to optimize
performance, keep all air all vents unobstructed, clean,
and clear of debris. This may require periodic cleaning,
depending upon the system environment.
Do not operate the notebook in areas where the air vents
can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or on soft
surfaces like a bed or cushion.
CLEANING THE DISPLAY SCREEN
To clean the Tablet PC display screen, wipe the screen
surface gently using a soft cotton cloth slightly damp-
ened with water or isopropyl alcohol.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Solutions to some common problems are described in
the following sections. If you are experiencing a problem
with your Tablet PC that you cannot solve by taking the
actions described, contact your local help desk or
reseller, or call Fujitsu Service and Support at 1-800-
8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487) for further assistance.
System Will Not Resume Operation
If the system will not resume operation after system
operation has been suspended, check the following:
• The battery may either be defective, or discharged to
a critically low level. When the battery reaches a
critically low level, the system is forced into Suspend-
to-RAM mode to avoid a total system power failure.
To correct this problem, either connect an external
power supply (such as the AC adapter), or install a
charged battery in the Tablet PC.
• The system may be at the critical thermal limit. To
avoid damage to heat-sensitive components, the
system enters Suspend-to-RAM mode when it gets
too hot. System operation cannot be resumed until
the Tablet PC cools off to a tolerable temperature.
Move the Tablet PC to a cooler location.
Do not expose your Tablet PC to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time. High
temperatures could damage your tablet.
The Tablet PC is not waterproof. Do not

Care and Maintenance
Display Screen Blank or Difficult to Read
If the display screen on your Tablet PC appears blank or
is unreadable, confirm that the system is running (the
Power icon is displayed continuously on the Status
display), and check the following:
• The system brightness may be set too low, causing the
screen to appear too dark. To change system
brightness, press the Fn button twice to open the
Fujitsu menu. Brightness can be adjusted from the
menu.
• The video timeout may have expired. Tap on the
display screen to reactivate the display. Note that this
is a normal, power-saving feature.
Cursor Is Not Tracking Pen
If the cursor on the screen appears to be misaligned with
the pen or is not accurately tracking the pen, calibrate the
pen. See “Calibrating the Pen” on page 25 for more infor-
mation.
Infrared Data Transfer Is Not Working
If you are experiencing problems transferring data over
the system’s infrared interface, note the following:
• Can the IrDA port on the Tablet PC “see” the IrDA
port on the other device? A direct line-of-sight path
must exist between the IrDA port on the Tablet PC
and the IrDA port on the other device.
• The distance between the two devices must not be
more than 3 feet.
• The viewing angle from the IrDA port on the Tablet
PC must not be more than 15 degrees from a center
line between the IrDA port on the Tablet PC and the
IrDA port on the other device.
• The device with which you are trying to communicate
must be compliant with the IrDA Standard Revision
1.1 (or 1.0).
• It may be necessary for both computers to be using
the same network connection protocols.
Tablet PC is Not Responding to the Pen
If the Tablet PC does not respond to the pen, connect an
external keyboard to the system to see if it responds to
keyboard commands. If the system doesn’t respond to a
keyboard, the application or system may have crashed,
and it may be necessary to reboot the system. If the
system responds to a keyboard but not to a pen, contact
your local help desk or reseller, or call Fujitsu Service and
Support at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487) for further
assistance.
Speaker/Headphone Volume Too Low
If the audio volume on your Tablet PC speaker or
external headphones is too low, check the following:
• Ensure the speaker (or headphone output if using
headphones) is enabled. To do so, open the Control
Panel and double-click on the Sounds and Audio
Devices icon. Select the proper tab, and increase the
volume using the slider bar. (If you aren’t getting any
sound, uncheck the Mute box if it is checked.)
• Press the Fn button twice to open the Fujitsu menu.
Volume can be adjusted from the menu.
• Ensure the mute box in the system volume control
(accessible from the system tray) is not set.
• Ensure any volume control in your audio software is
set to an audible level.
Configuring Peripheral Interfaces
Certain peripheral devices can be disabled during the
BIOS Setup. If the peripheral interface you want to use
does not appear to be working with your peripheral
device, ensure that it is enabled in the BIOS. Contact
your local help desk or reseller, or call Fujitsu Service and
Support at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487) if you need
assistance using BIOS Setup.
RESTORING THE PRE-INSTALLED SOFTWARE
The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) DVD
contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in
specific directories) that are unique to your computer
configuration for use as documented below.
Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications
The Drivers and Applications CD can be used to
selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may
have been un-installed or corrupted.
To re-install drivers and/or applications:
1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after
Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is
displayed after the CD is inserted.
2. After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree].
If you have access to the internet, visit the
Fujitsu Support web site at: http://
www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support to
check for the most current information,
drivers and hints on how to perform
recovery and system updates.
There may be certain free third-party
applications pre-installed on your system
that are not on the DAR CD. The latest
versions of the applications can be
downloaded from the third-party’s website.

3. A window will appear containing a list of applica-
tions, drivers, and utilities that you can install from
the Drivers and Applications CD.
4. In the list, check off all the components you want to
install. If you want to install all components, click
[Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the
blue-coded components; you must select grey and
green components separately.
5. Once you have selected the components you wish to
install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the
components will be installed.
6. After the components are installed, click [OK], then
click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the
system.
RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE
The Restore Disc that came with your system contains
two utilities:
■The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original
contents of the C: drive.
■The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used
to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from
being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete
utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want
to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.
BOOT Priority Change
Before restoring an image, you must first verify that your
system is set up to boot from the DVD drive. To verify/
change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up
from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive),
perform the following steps:
1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the
Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup
Utility.
2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.
3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu.
Press [Enter].
4. If “Optical Media Drive” or “CD-ROM Drive” is not
at the top of the list, arrow down to the drive in the
list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move it
to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot
from the devices in the order in which they are
listed.). Note that the BIOS for some systems will
indicate “CD-ROM Drive”, even when a DVD drive
is connected.
5. If you have an external DVD drive connected,
proceed to the next step; otherwise, proceed to
step 7.
6. If you have an external DVD drive connected:
• Select the Advanced menu in the BIOS window.
• Scroll down to the USB Features submenu and
press the Enter key to open it.
• If Legacy USB Support is disabled, press the space
bar to enable it.
• Scroll down to SCSI SubClass Support and press
the space bar to enable it.
7. Press [F10], then click on [Yes] to exit the BIOS
Setup Utility and return to the boot process.
After you have changed the boot priority, you can restore
a backup image when you are booting up.
Procedure
1. Turn on the power to your system.
2. Ensure that you have a device that can read DVDs
either installed in your system or attached exter-
nally to it.
3. Insert the Restore Disc into the drive tray.
4. Reboot your system.
5. After the system reboots, follow the instructions
that appear to either restore your system image or
erase all data from your hard disk.
The components listed are color-coded in
terms of their install status. Blue indicates
that the component can be installed. Green
indicates that the component needs to be
installed separately. Grey indicates a
component that is already installed; grey
items can be reinstalled, but prior to
installation you will receive a reminder that
the component is already installed.
The Restore Disc only restores the primary
hard disk drive. If you have an optional
second hard disk drive installed, it will not
be restored using these utilities.
• The use of this disc requires that you have
a device capable of reading DVDs
attached to your system. If you do not
have a built-in DVD player, you will need
to attach an external player. For more
information on available external devices,
visit our Web site at: us.fujitsu.com/
computers.
• This disc can only be used with the system
with which it was purchased.

AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING
DRIVER UPDATES
Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu
Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose
to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to
check for new updates for your system.
The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at
the bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the
icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not
appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to
[Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver
Update; this will create the icon automatically.
To invoke the FDU menu, right-click on the FDU icon.
The menu contains the following items:
■Check for updates now
Allows for manual driver update search. The first time
it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user agree-
ment. After clicking on the icon, the FDU automati-
cally connects with the Fujitsu site to check for updates
and downloads them. While downloading, the icon
has a red bar through it, indicating that it cannot be
used while the download is in process. When the
update is complete, a message appears informing you
of the fact.
■Enable Automatic Update Notifications
Automatically searches for new updates on a regular
basis (approximately every 3 days).
■Show update history
Brings up a screen that displays a history of updates
that have been made via the FDU.
■About Fujitsu Driver Update
Displays the FDU version number and copyright
information
■Fujitsu Driver Update Readme
Displays the FDU readme.
