The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your
LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement
of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The
Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, a left and
right button, and a scrolling button. The cursor control
works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor
around the display. It only requires light pressure with
the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function
the same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of
the buttons may vary depending on the application that
is being used. The scrolling button allows you to navi-
gate quickly through pages, without having to use the
scroll bars. (Figure 2-15)
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-
click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select,
press the left button once, and then immediately release
it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you
wish to select, press the right button once, and then
immediately release it. You also have the option to
perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the
Touchpad once. (Figure 2-12)

Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook 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]
functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding
[Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Press-
ing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase
the volume of your notebook.
■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 external volume control settings.
There are 26 levels through which the
function keys cycle.

Getting Started
Power Management
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has many options and
features for conserving battery power. Some of these
features are automatic and need no user intervention,
such as those for the internal modem. However, others
depend on the parameters you set to best suit your oper-
ating conditions, such as those for the display bright-
ness. Internal power management for your notebook
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 battery from running down as quickly.
For example, you can create an appropriate power saving
profile, put your notebook into Suspend 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.
SUSPEND/RESUME/POWER ON BUTTON
When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Suspend/
Resume/Power On button can be used to manually put
your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the button
when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing
anything, and immediately release the button. You will
hear two short beeps and your system will enter
Suspend mode. (See figure 2-3 on page 6 for location)
If your LifeBook notebook is suspended, pushing the
Suspend/Resume/Power On button will return your
notebook to active operation. You can tell whether or
not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the
Power indicator. (See figure 2-3 on page 6) If the indi-
cator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully
operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing,
your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is
not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in
Hibernation mode.
ECO BUTTON
The ECO button is located to the right of the status indi-
cator panel. The button is designed to extend system
power by reducing the LCD brightness, shutting down
the optical drive, PC Card, and IEEE 1394 functionality,
and enabling the hard disk drive’s auto power off mode.
Pressing the button again restores those functions.
The settings for the ECO button can be changed in the
Power Saving Utility Setup window. To open the
window, use one of the three following methods:
■Click [Start] -> [All Programs] -> [Power Saving
Utility] -> [Setup - Power Saving Utility], or,
■Click [Start] -> [Control Panel] -> [Performance and
Maintenance] -> [Power Options]. Click the Power
Saving Utility tab and click [Change Settings] button,
or,
■Double-click the Power Saving Utility icon in the
system tray at the bottom right of the screen. The
Power Saving Utility Setting window will appear.
SUSPEND MODE
Suspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the
contents of your LifeBook notebook’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 notebook can be
put in Suspend mode by:
■Pressing the Suspend/Resume/Power On 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.
You can change the actions the computer takes when the
lid is closed or buttons are pressed by clicking [Start] ->
Control Panel. Double-click the Power Options icon and
select the Advanced tab.
Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically
stores the file(s) on which you are working, open applica-
tion(s) information, and any other data required to
support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume
operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will
return to the point where it left off. You must use the
Suspend/Resume/Power On button to resume operation,
and there must be an adequate power source available, or
your notebook will not resume.
■If you are running your LifeBook note-
book on battery power, be aware that
the battery continues to discharge while
your notebook is in Suspend mode,
though not as fast as when fully opera-
tional.
■Disabling the Suspend/Resume/Power
On button prevents it from being used
to put your LifeBook notebook in
Suspend or Hibernation mode. The
resume function of the button cannot
be disabled.
■If your LifeBook notebook is actively
accessing information when you enter
the Suspend or Hibernation mode,
changes to open files are not lost. The
files are left open and memory is kept
active during Suspend mode or the
memory is transferred to the internal
hard drive during Hibernation mode.

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 and
BIOS setup utility.
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 and BIOS setup utility.
WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT
The Power Management icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the
Power Management to set the timeout values for turning
off the display and hard disks whether you are running
the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.
The settings may also be changed in the BIOS.
RESTARTING THE SYSTEM
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure
that you use the following procedure.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to restart your notebook. Your notebook
will shut down and then reboot.
POWER OFF
Before turning off the power, check that the Hard Drive,
DVD, CD-ROM, CD-RW, PC Card and the Floppy Disk
Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See figure 2-3 on
page 6) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk
or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that
your notebook shuts down without error, use the
Windows shut down procedure.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows
allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The
proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Shut Down option from within the
Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to shut down your notebook.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.
The Suspend or Hibernation mode should
not be used with certain PC Cards. Check
your PC Card documentation for more
information.
When PC Cards or external devices are in
use, Hibernation mode cannot return to
the exact state prior to suspension,
because all of the peripheral devices will be
re-initialized when the system restarts.
You can also enter Hibernate mode by
clicking Start -> Shut Down..., then select-
ing Hibernate from the dropdown menu.
Turning off your LifeBook notebook with-
out exiting Windows or turning on your
notebook within 10 seconds of the note-
book being shut off may cause an error
when you start the next time.
Be sure to close all files, exit all applica-
tions, and shut down your operating sys-
tem prior to turning off the power. If files
are open when you turn the power off,
you will lose any changes that have not
been saved, and may cause disk errors.

User Installable Features
Lithium ion Battery
Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery (and
possibly an optional modular battery) that provides
power for operating your notebook when no external
power source is available. The battery is durable and
long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme
temperatures, 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 that exceed a low of 5°C
(41°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme temperatures
not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause
battery deterioration. The charging indicator on the
Status Indicator panel will flash red for the affected
battery (battery 1 or 2) when you try to charge a
battery that is outside of operating temperature range.
(See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more
information)
■When using a high current device such as a modem,
DVD/CD-RW drive, or the hard drive, using the AC
adapter will conserve your battery life.
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
If you want to know the condition of the primary
Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level 1 indicator
located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator
changes as the battery level changes. If you want to know
the condition of the secondary modular Lithium ion
battery, check the Battery Level 2 indicator located on
the Status Indicator panel.
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 LifeBook notebook 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
significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the
battery is charging.
If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your
notebook into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the
adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management
on page 27 for more information)
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notifica-
tion message will appear. If you do not respond to the
low battery message, the batteries will continue to
discharge until they are too low to operate. When this
happens, your notebook will go into Suspend mode.
There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once
the notebook reaches this point.
Do not leave a faulty battery in your
LifeBook notebook. It may damage your
AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter,
another battery or your notebook itself. It
may also prevent operation of your
notebook by draining all available current
into the bad battery.
■Battery life will vary based on screen
brightness, applications, features, power
management settings, battery condition
and other customer preferences. DVD,
CD-RW, CD-ROM, or hard drive usage
may also have a significant impact on
battery life. The battery charging capac-
ity is reduced as the battery ages. If your
battery is running low quickly, you
should replace it with a new one.
■Under federal, state, or local law it may
be illegal to dispose of batteries by put-
ting them in the trash. Take care of our
environment by disposing of batteries
properly. Check with your local govern-
ment authority for information on recy-
cling or disposing of old batteries. If you
cannot find this information elsewhere,
contact your support representative at
1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487)
Make sure that the Battery Charging indica-
tor and the percentage charge is shown
inside the Battery Level icon on the Status
Indicator Panel. (See Battery Charging
Indicators on page 12 for more informa-
tion)
Using heavy current devices such as Modem
or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM
accesses may prevent charging completely.

LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section Four
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your
notebook 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 Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be main-
tained for some time, but if a power source is not
provided promptly, the charging 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 notebook while an adapter is
charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel battery charging icons will
blink red to indicate a shorted battery or battery
problem. This indicates that the battery is damaged and
must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts
of your LifeBook notebook.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have
a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged.
Swapping Batteries when Additional Power Source
is not Available
To swap batteries in your battery bay when you don’t
have another power source available (such as an AC
Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy
steps: (Figure 4-1)
1. Have a charged battery ready to install.
2. Shut down your notebook.
3. Press and hold the battery release latches to open the
bay. (Figure 4-1)
Figure 4-1 Removing the Battery
4. Remove the battery from the bay.
5. Place the new battery into the bay. (Figure 4-2)
6. Verify that the battery bay latches click into place.
Figure 4-2 Installing a battery
Swapping Batteries when another Power Source is
available
To swap batteries in your battery bay when you have an
additional power source (such as an AC Adapter or
charged modular battery), follow these easy steps:
(Figure 4-1)
1. Plug in an AC Adapter or install a fully charged
modular battery in the Flexible Bay to ensure power
is supplied to the system.
2. Slide and hold the battery release latches to open the
bay.
3. Remove the battery from the bay.
4. Slide the new battery into the bay.
5. Verify that the battery bay latches click into place.
■Once the low battery notification mes-
sage appears, you need to save all your
active data and put your system into
Suspend mode until you can provide a
new power source. You should provide a
charged battery, AC power adapter, or
Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.
■ When you are in Suspend mode there
must always be at least one power
source active. If you turn off the power
or remove all power sources while your
LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode,
any data that has not been saved to the
hard drive will be lost.
If the Lithium ion battery connector is not
fully seated, you may not be able to use
your notebook or charge your battery.

tion. This preparation is called formatting or initializing
a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless they are
preformatted. (Please refer to your operating system
manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a disk)
To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a
disk, slide the “write protect” tab until a small hole is
exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where
nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or
remove data on a protected disk, slide the “write
protect” tab to close the small hole. (Figure 4-4)
Figure 4-4 Floppy Disk Write Protect
Eject Button
Your LifeBook notebook is preconfigured
to boot from a floppy drive. Reference the
BIOS manual for further information on
changing the default boot drive.
If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk
Drive Access indicator is active, there is a
risk of damaging the data on the disk, the

LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section Four
USING THE OPTICAL DRIVE
ON BATTERY POWER
Since an optical drive consumes a lot of power, your
overall battery life will be shorter when operating the
drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than
during standard operation. Many movies run-times are
longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a
single battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on
battery power you may need to swap in an additional,
charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to
view it in its entirety.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC
adapter ready for use.
2. Start watching your DVD movie.
3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately
stop the movie and exit the DVD/CD-RW
application.
4. Connect an AC Adapter to your system, or install a
fully charged battery in the Flexible Bay (after
removing any modular devices that may be present
in the bay) prior to removing the main battery.
5. Manually place your notebook into suspend mode
by depressing the Suspend button then replace the
discharged battery with a fully-charged battery.
6. If you removed the optical drive from the Flexible
Bay in step 4, reinstall it now.
7. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend
button again. This step is not required if you
attached AC power without entering suspend mode.
8. Restart your DVD/CD-RW application and skip to
the chapter of the movie you were last watching.
9. Continue watching your DVD movie.
AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTION
The Auto Insert Notification function allows your Life-
Book notebook to automatically start a DVD/CD as soon
as it is inserted in the optical drive and the tray is closed.
Your notebook will begin playing an audio DVD/CD or
will start an application if the DVD/CD includes an auto
run file.
To prevent a CD from playing automatically as soon as it
is inserted, refer to the related help file for your specific
operating system.
EMERGENCY TRAY RELEASE
In the event that your system does not have power
applied, you can still open the media tray using the end
of an opened paper clip. To open the tray, insert the
paper clip into the emergency tray release hole on the
fact of the tray (Figure 4-7). The tray will pop open.
Figure 4-7 Using the Emergency Tray Release
■Prolonged use of the optical drive,
such as when watching a DVD movie,
will substantially reduce your note-
book’s battery life.
■An additional fully-charged battery is
highly recommended if you will be
watching DVD movies on battery
power. If you don’t have an additional
battery, you may purchase one either
on-line at us.fujitsu.com/computers
or call 1-877-372-3473.
If you do not stop the optical drive quickly
and the LifeBook notebook attempts to
auto-suspend (critical battery low state)
the notebook will shut down improperly. If
this occurs, you will need to install a fresh
power source (either a charged battery or
AC Adapter).
Some shorter DVD movies may not require
you to swap batteries or attach AC power
to complete them. However, it is best to be
prepared since actual battery life while
operating the optical drive cannot be
guaranteed.

Figure 4-9. Installing a Memory Stick/SD/xD Card
Memory Stick/
Secure Digital/xD Slot
Your LifeBook notebook supports the following
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.
■SD Memory Card
■Memory Stick Media
■Memory Stick Select Media
■Memory Stick Duo Media
■Memory Stick PRO Media
■xD Picture Cards
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
applications.
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.
xD Cards work the same as Memory Sticks and SD
Cards, but they are much smaller than either one. Using
an xD Card in the slot requires an adapter. xD Cards are
primarily used to store and transfer images with devices
such as cell phones.
Figure 4-10. Memory Stick, Secure Digital, xD Cards
INSTALLING MEMORY STICK/SD/XD CARDS
Memory Sticks, SD Cards, and xD Cards are inserted in

Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook notebook can be upgraded to include up
to 1 GB of in-slot high speed Double Data Rate (DDR2)
Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM). To increase
your LifeBook notebook’s memory capacity, you may
install a larger memory upgrade module.
Your LifeBook notebook has two micro DIMM slots. One
of them is accessible via the memory compartment on the
bottom of the system; the other is located under the
keyboard and should not be accessed. If you have less than
1GB pre-installed, and you would like to increase it, you
will need add a new module to the empty slot. The
memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (micro DIMM)
SDRAM module. To ensure 100% compatibility,
purchase the memory module only from the Fujitsu web
store at us.fujitsu.com/computers.
ACCESSING THE MEMORY COMPARTMENT
To gain access to the memory compartment, follow these
steps:
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook, and
remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline),
battery pack, and modem connection.
2. Place your LifeBook notebook with the bottom
facing up on a clean work surface.
3. Remove the two screws from the holes in the
memory compartment cover. (Figure 4-11)
Figure 4-11. Removing memory compartment cover
REMOVING A MEMORY MODULE
1. Perform steps 1 through 3 of Accessing the Memory
Compartment.
2. Pull the module clips sideways away from each side
of the memory module simultaneously. (Figure 4-
12)
Figure 4-12. Removing a memory module
3. While holding the clips out, remove the module
from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the
back of your LifeBook notebook.
4. Store the memory upgrade module in a static
guarded sleeve.
5. Install a new memory module as detailed in the
procedure below.
6. Replace the memory compartment cover.
The memory upgrade module can be
severely damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Be sure you are properly
grounded when handling and installing the
module.
You must turn off power and remove any
modem connection before installing the
memory upgrade module.
The memory module which came with
your system is installed under the
keyboard, and should not be replaced. To
increase the amount of memory, either
install a new module in the DIMM slot, or
remove a smaller module from the DIMM
slot and replace with a larger one.

(Figure 4-13)
CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY
Once you have changed the system memory capacity by
replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure
to check that your notebook has recognized the change.
Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] ->
Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the
System icon. Select the General tab and check the
amount of memory under “Computer:”.
There may be a variation between the actual memory
size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that
your system uses a video graphics chip which dynami-
cally allocates system memory to accelerate graphics
performance. Up to 128 MB of memory is dynamically
shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video
Memory Technology (DVMT).
The memory upgrade module is not
something you routinely remove from
your LifeBook notebook. Once it is
installed, you should leave it in place
unless you want to increase system
memory capacity.
Module Clip
If the total memory displayed is incorrect,
check that your memory upgrade module
is properly installed. (If the module is
properly installed and the capacity is still
not correctly recognized, see Trouble-
shooting on page 65.
