Recycling your batteryOver time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org or call 1-800-822-8837.If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/)and search for a convenient disposal location.Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com in the US orwww.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks in Canada.** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with Fujitsu.

The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys. •Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to toggle between the standard character and numerical keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key.EndHomeFn Key Start KeyFunction KeysNumeric Keypad Application Key Cursor Keys(surrounded by heavy line)
28•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 KeypadCertain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys. 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 functions. Windows KeysYour LifeBook notebook has two Windows keys, consisting of 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.) Cursor KeysThe 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).
29Function KeysYour LifeBook notebook has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ for each application.

56 - Power ManagementPower ManagementYour 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 operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. 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 Sleep 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.Power/Suspend/Resume ButtonWhen your notebook is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put the notebook into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button when the notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and the system will enter Sleep mode. If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible andflashing, your notebook is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode. (See Hibernation Feature)Sleep ModeSleep mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display, hard drive, and all other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting.
57 - Power ManagementYour notebook can be put in Sleep mode by:•Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.•Selecting Sleep from the Windows Shut Down menu.•Timing out from lack of activity.•Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.■IF RUNNING YOUR NOTEBOOK ON BATTERY POWER,BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TODISCHARGE WHILE YOUR NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE,THOUGH NOT AS FAST AS WHEN FULLY OPER-ATIONAL.■DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THENOTEBOOK INTO SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE. THE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION CAN’TBEDISABLED.■THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH CERTAIN PC CARDS. CHECK YOURPC CARD DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE INFORMATION. WHEN PC CARDS OR EXTERNAL DEVICES AREIN USE, HIBERNATION MODE CANNOT RETURN TO THE EXACT STATE PRIOR TO SUSPENSION,BECAUSEALL OF THE PERIPHERAL DEVICES WILL BE RE-INITIALIZED WHEN THE SYSTEM RESTARTS.■IF YOUR NOTEBOOK IS ACTIVELY ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER THE SLEEP OR HIBER-NATION MODE,CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT LOST. THE FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY ISKEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEP MODE OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVEDURING HIBERNATION MODE.THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOURDATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR NOTEBOOK IN A SUSPENDEDSTATE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT ITLENGTHENS THE POWER UP/DOWN SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.
58 - Power ManagementHibernate FeatureThe Hibernate feature saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode.

60 Chapter 3 User-Installable FeaturesLithium ion BatteryYour LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion 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 or a high of 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 “Battery Charging Indicators” on page 25.•When using a high current device such as a modem, Multi-Format DVD Writer, CD-ROM drive, DVD/CD-RW combo drive, or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.DO NOT LEAVE A FAULTY BATTERY IN YOUR NOTEBOOK. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR AC ADAPTER,OPTIONALAUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER,ANOTHER BATTERY OR YOUR NOTEBOOK ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVENTOPERATION OF YOUR NOTEBOOK BY DRAINING ALL AVAILABLE CURRENT INTO THE BAD BATTERY.
61 - Lithium ion BatteryRecharging the BatteriesIf you want to know the condition of the primary 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 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 Sleep mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 56 for more information on Sleep mode and shutdown procedure)•ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS,APPLICATIONS,FEATURES,POWERMANAGEMENT SETTINGS,BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. CD-ROM DRIVE, MULTI-FORMAT DVD WRITER, DVD/CD-RW DRIVE COMBO,OR HARD DRIVE USAGE MAY ALSOHAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON BATTERY LIFE. THE BATTERY CHARGING CAPACITY IS REDUCED ASTHE BATTERY AGES. IF YOUR BATTERY IS RUNNING LOW QUICKLY,YOU SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH ANEW ONE.•UNDER FEDERAL,STATE,OR LOCAL LAW IT MAY BE ILLEGAL TO DISPOSE OF BATTERIES BY PUTTINGTHEM IN THE TRASH. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT AND DISPOSE OF BATTERIESPROPERLY. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY FOR DETAILS REGARDINGRECYCLING 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 INDICATOR AND THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS SHOWNINSIDE THE BATTERY LEVEL ICON ON THE STATUS INDICATOR PANEL.
62 - Lithium ion BatteryLow Battery StateWhen the battery is running low, a low battery notification 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 Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point.Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep 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 Power/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 notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.USING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES SUCH AS THE MODEM OR FREQUENT DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM ACCESSES MAY PREVENT CHARGING COMPLETELY.•ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS,YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVEDATA AND PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK INTO SLEEP MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEWPOWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY,AN AC POWER ADAPTER,ORAUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.• WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IFYOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE,ANY DATATHAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.
63 - Lithium ion BatteryShorted BatteriesThe Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage 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.

167 Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceIntroducing the Optional Fingerprint Sensor DeviceYour system may have an optional fingerprint sensor device below the Touchpad, between the left and right buttons. This also serves as a scroll button. Fingerprint sensorALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM MAY HAVE A FINGERPRINT SENSOR IN PLACE OF A SCROLL BUTTON,THEFINGERPRINT SENSOR CAN BE USED FOR SCROLLING. SIMPLY MOVE YOUR FINGERPRINT OVER THESENSOR THE SAME AS YOU WOULD USE A SCROLL BUTTON.
168 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceWith a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter a username and password every time you want to:•Log onto Windows•Resume from sleep mode•Cancel a password-protected screen saver•Log into homepages that require a username and passwordAfter you have “enrolled” - or registered - your fingerprint, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the sensor for the system recognize you. The fingerprint sensor uses Softex OmniPass which provides password management capabilities to Microsoft Windows operating systems. OmniPass enables you to use a "master password" for all Windows, applications, and on-line passwords. OmniPass requires users to authenticate themselves using the fingerprint sensor before granting access to the Windows desktop. This device results in a secure authentication system for restricting access to your computer, applications, web sites, and other password-protected resources.OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface, through which you can securely manage passwords, users, and multiple identities for each user.Getting StartedThis section guides you through the preparation of your system for the OmniPass fingerprint recognition application. You will be led through the OmniPass installation process. You will also be led through the procedure of enrolling your first user into OmniPass. Installing OmniPassIf OmniPass has already been installed on your system, skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on page 171. You can determine whether OmniPass has already been installed by checking to see if the following are present:•The gold key-shaped OmniPass icon in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.•The Softex program group in the Programs group of the Start menu
169 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceSystem RequirementsThe OmniPass application requires space on your hard drive; it also requires specific Operating Systems (OS’s). The minimum requirements are as follows:•Windows XP Professional operating system•At least 35 MB available hard disk spaceInstalling the OmniPass ApplicationIf OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to “User Enrollment” on page 171. Otherwise continue with this section on software installation.To install OmniPass on your system you must:1Insert the installation media for the OmniPass application into the appropriate drive. If you are installing from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, you must find and launch the OmniPass installation program (setup.exe) from the media.2Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass installation program. Specify a location to which you would like OmniPass installed.It is recommended that you NOT install OmniPass in the root directory (e.g. C:\). 3Once OmniPass has completed installation you will be prompted to restart you system. Once your system has rebooted you will be able to use OmniPass. If you choose not to restart immediately after installation, OmniPass will not be available for use until the next reboot.4The installation program automatically places an icon (Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well as a golden key shaped icon in the taskbar. FOR INSTALLATION, OMNIPASS REQUIRES THAT THE USER INSTALLING OMNIPASS HAVEADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES TO THE SYSTEM. IF YOUR CURRENT USER DOES NOT HAVEADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES,LOG OUT AND THEN LOG IN WITH AN ADMINISTRATOR USER BEFOREPROCEEDING WITH OMNIPASS INSTALLATION.
170 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceVerifying Information about OmniPassAfter you have completed installing OmniPass and restarted your system, you may wish to check the version of OmniPass on your system.To check the version information of OmniPass:1From the Windows Desktop, double-click the key-shaped OmniPass icon in the taskbar (usually located in the lower right corner of the screen), or, Click the Start button, select Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click Softex OmniPass in the Control Panel, and the OmniPass Control Center will appear. If it does not appear, then the program is not properly installed, or, Click the Start button, select Programs, and from the submenu select the Softex program group, from that submenu click OmniPass Control Center.2Select the About tab at the top of the OmniPass Control Panel.

Select Settings, and then Control Panel.2Double-click Add/Remove Programs.3Select OmniPass, and then click Change/Remove.4Follow the directions to uninstall the OmniPass application.5Once OmniPass has finished uninstalling, reboot your system when prompted.FOR UNINSTALLATION, OMNIPASS REQUIRES THAT THE USER UNINSTALLING OMNIPASS HAVEADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES TO THE SYSTEM. IF YOUR CURRENT USER DOES NOT HAVEADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES,LOG OUT AND THEN LOG IN WITH AN ADMINISTRATOR USER BEFOREPROCEEDING WITH OMNIPASS UNINSTALLATION.
171 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceUser EnrollmentBefore you can use any OmniPass features you must first enroll a user into OmniPass.Master Password ConceptComputer resources are often protected with passwords. Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing your email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing network resources, you often have to supply credentials to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of credentials that you have to remember.During user enrollment a "master password” is created for the enrolled user. This master password “replaces” all other passwords for sites you register with OmniPass. Example: A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system (his home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with username “John_01” and password “freq14”. He then goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He inputs his webmail credentials as usual (username “John_02” and password “lifebook”), but instead of clicking [Submit], he directs OmniPass to Remember Password. Now whenever he returns to that site, OmniPass will prompt him to supply access credentials. John enters his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and “freq14”) in the OmniPass authentication prompt, and he is allowed into his webmail account. He can do this with as many web sites or password protected resources he likes, and he will gain access to all those sites with his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and “freq14”). This is assuming he is accessing those sites with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass user. OmniPass does not actually change the credentials of the password protected resource. If John were to go to another computer without he OmniPass account to access his webmail, he would need to enter his original webmail credentials (“John_02” and “lifebook”) to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass user credentials on a system other than a system he’s enrolled on, he will not gain access.THE ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE ASSUMES YOU HAVE NO HARDWARE AUTHENTICATION DEVICES ORALTERNATE STORAGE LOCATIONS THAT YOU WISH TO INTEGRATE WITH OMNIPASS. IF YOU DESIRESUCH FUNCTIONALITY,CONSULT THE APPROPRIATE SECTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT.
172 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceBasic EnrollmentThe Enrollment Wizard will guide you through the process of enrolling a user. Unless you specified otherwise, after OmniPass installation the Enrollment Wizard will launch on Windows login. If you do not see the Enrollment Wizard, you can bring it up by clicking Start on the Windows taskbar; select Programs; select Softex; click OmniPass Enrollment Wizard.1Click Enroll to proceed to username and password verification. By default, the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard enters the credentials of the currently logged in Windows user.2Enter the password you use to log in to Windows. This will become the “master password” for this OmniPass user. In most cases, the Domain: value will be your Windows computer name. In a corporate environment, or when accessing corporate resources, the Domain: may not be your Windows computer name. Click [Next] to continue.3In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint. Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 172 for additional information.4Next, choose how OmniPass notifies you of various events. We recommend you keep Taskbar Tips onBeginner mode taskbar tips and Audio Tips on at least Prompt with system beeps only until you get accustomed to how OmniPass operates. Click [Next] to proceed with user enrollment. You will then see a Congratulations screen indicating your completion of user enrollment.5Click [Done] to exit the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. You will be asked if you’d like to log in to OmniPass with your newly enrolled user; click [Yes].Enrolling a FingerprintEnrolling a fingerprint will increase the security of your system and streamline the authentication procedure. You enroll fingerprints in the OmniPass Control Center. With an OmniPass user logged in, double-click the system tray OmniPass icon. Select the User Settings tab and click Enrollment under the User Settings area. Click Enroll Authentication Device and authenticate at the authentication prompt to start device enrollment.
173 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor Device1During initial user enrollment, you will be prompted to select the finger you wish to enroll. Fingers that have already been enrolled will be marked by a green check. The finger you select to enroll at this time will be marked by a red arrow. OmniPass will allow you re-enroll a finger. If you choose a finger that has already been enrolled and continue enrollment, OmniPass will enroll the fingerprint, overwriting the old fingerprint. Select a finger to enroll and click [Next].2It is now time for OmniPass to capture your selected fingerprint. It may take a several capture attempts before OmniPass acquires your fingerprint. Should OmniPass fail to acquire your fingerprint, or if the capture screen times out, click [Back] to restart the fingerprint enrollment process. Your system has a “swipe” fingerprint sensor. A swipe sensor is small and resembles a skinny elongated rectangle. To capture a fingerprint, gently swipe or pull your fingertip over the sensor (starting at the second knuckle) towards yourself. Swiping too fast or too slow will result in a failed capture. The Choose Fingerscreen has a [Practice] button; click it to practice capturing your fingerprint. When you are comfortable with how your fingerprint is captured, proceed to enroll a finger.33. Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the fingerprint, the Verify Fingerprint screen will automatically appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint, place your fingertip on the sensor and hold it there as if you were having a fingerprint captured. Successful fingerprint verification will show a green fingerprint in the capture window and the text Verification Successful under the capture window.Using OmniPassYou are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regularly, OmniPass will streamline your authentications.Password ReplacementYou will often use the password replacement function. When you go to a restricted access website (e.g., your bank, your web-based email, online auction or payment sites), you are always prompted to enter your login credentials. OmniPass can detect these prompts and you can teach OmniPass your login credentials. The next time you go to that website, you can authenticate with your fingerprint to gain access.
174 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceOmniPass Authentication ToolbarAfter installing OmniPass and restarting, you will notice a dialog you have not seen before at Windows Logon. This is the OmniPass Authentication Toolbar, and it is displayed whenever the OmniPass authentication system is invoked. The OmniPass authentication system may be invoked frequently: during Windows Logon, during OmniPass Logon, when unlocking your workstation, when resuming from sleep or hibernate, when unlocking a password-enabled screensaver, during password replacement for remembered site or application logins, and more. When you see this toolbar, OmniPass is prompting you to authenticate.The Logon Authentication window indicates what OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting. The icons in the lower left (fingerprint and key) show what authentication methods are available to you. Selected authentication methods are highlighted while unselected methods are not. When you click the icon for an unselected authentication method, the authentication prompt associated with that method is displayed.When prompted to authenticate, you must supply the appropriate credentials: an enrolled finger for the fingerprint capture window or your master password for the master password prompt (the key icon).Remembering a PasswordOmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or password protected resource that has a password prompt.Using the following procedure, you can store a set of credentials into OmniPass. These credentials will then be linked to your “master password” or fingerprint.Go to a site that requires a login (username and password), but do not log in yet. At the site login prompt, enter your username and password in the prompted fields, but do not enter the site (do not hit [Enter], [Submit], [OK], or Login). Right-click the OmniPass system tray icon and select Remember Passwordfrom the submenu. The Windows arrow cursor will change to a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click the OmniPass cursor in the login prompt area, but don’t click [Login] or [Submit].
175 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceAssociating a Friendly NameAfter clicking the OmniPass key cursor near the login prompt, OmniPass will prompt you to enter a “friendly name” for this site. You should enter something that reminds you of the website, the company, or the service you are logging into. In its secure database, OmniPass associates this friendly name with this website.Additional Settings for Remembering a SiteWhen OmniPass prompts you to enter a “friendly name” you also have the opportunity to set how OmniPass authenticates you to this site. There are three effective settings for how OmniPass handles a remembered site.The default setting is Automatically click the “OK” or “Submit” button for this password protected site once the user is authenticated. With this setting, each time you navigate to this site OmniPass will prompt you for your master password or fingerprint authentication device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass, you will automatically be logged into the site.Less secure is the option to Automatically enter this password protected site when it is activated. Do not prompt for authentication. Check the upper box to get this setting, and each time you navigate to this site OmniPass will log you into the site without prompting you to authenticate.If you uncheck both boxes in Settings for this Password Site, OmniPass will prompt you for your master password or fingerprint authentication device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass your credentials will be filled in to the site login prompt, but you will have to click the website [OK], [Submit], or [Login] button to gain access to the site.THIS SETTING IS MORE CONVENIENT IN THAT WHENEVER YOU GO TO A SITE REMEMBERED WITH THISSETTING,YOU WILL BYPASS ANY AUTHENTICATION PROCEDURE AND GAIN INSTANT ACCESS TO THESITE. BUT SHOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR SYSTEM UNATTENDED WITH YOUR OMNIPASS USER LOGGED IN,ANYONE USING YOUR SYSTEM CAN BROWSE TO YOUR PASSWORD PROTECTED SITES AND GAINAUTOMATIC ACCESS.
176 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceClick Finish to complete the remember password procedure. The site location, the credentials to access the site, and the OmniPass authentication settings for the site are now stored in the OmniPass secure database. The OmniPass authentication settings (Settings for this Password Site) can always be changed in Vault Management.Logging in to a Remembered SiteWhether or not OmniPass prompts you to authenticate when you return to a remembered site is determined by Settings for this Password Site and can be changed in Vault Management.The following cases are applicable to using OmniPass to login to: Windows, remembered web sites, and all other password protected resources.With Master PasswordOnce you return to a site you have remembered with OmniPass, you may be presented with a master password prompt. Enter your master password and you will be allowed into the site.Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint DeviceWhen logging into Windows with a fingerprint device, the fingerprint capture window will now appear next to the Windows Login screen. Place your enrolled fingertip on the sensor to authenticate. You will be simultaneously logged into Windows and OmniPass. The capture window will also appear if you have used Ctrl-Alt-Del to lock a system, and the fingerprint device can be used to log back in as stated above.Password ManagementOmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage your passwords. To access this GUI, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Management; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you gain access to Vault Management, click Manage Passwords under Vault Settings. You will see the Manage Passwords interface, with a list of friendly names.IF A MACHINE IS LOCKED AND OMNIPASS DETECTS A DIFFERENT USER LOGGING BACK IN WITH AFINGERPRINT,THE FIRST USER WILL BE LOGGED OUT AND THE SECOND USER LOGGED IN.
177 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceYou can view the credentials stored for any remembered website by highlighting the desired resource under Password Protected Dialog and clicking Unmask Values. Should a password be reset, or an account expire, you can remove stored credentials from OmniPass. Highlight the desired resource underPassword Protected Dialog and click Delete Page. You will be prompted to confirm the password deletion.The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or directly logs you into the remembered site.OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an already remembered site. The exception to the above rule is when resetting the Windows password. If your password is reset in Windows, the next time you login to Windows, OmniPass will detect the password change and prompt you to “Update” or “Reconfirm” the password with OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the prompt and click OK. Your OmniPass "master password" will still be your Windows password.OmniPass User IdentitiesIdentities allow OmniPass users to have multiple accounts to the same site (e.g., bob@biblomail.com and boballen@biblomail.com). If OmniPass did not provide you identities, you would be limited to remembering one account per site.To create and manage identities, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Management; OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Once you gain access to Vault Management,click Manage Identities under Vault Settings. You can only manage the identities of the currently logged in OmniPass userTo add a new identity, click New Identity or double-click Click here to add a new identity. Name the new identity and click [OK], then click [Apply]. You can now switch to the new identity and start remembering passwords.To delete an identity, highlight the identity you want to delete and click [Delete Identity], then click [Apply].
178 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceTo set the default identity, highlight the identity you want as default and click [Set as Default]; click [Apply] to ensure the settings are saved. If you log in to OmniPass with a fingerprint device, you will automatically be logged in to the default identity for that OmniPass user. You can choose the identity with which you are logging in if you login using "master password".Choosing User Identity during LoginTo choose your identity during login, type your username in the User Name: field. Press [Tab] and see that the Domain: field self-populates. Click the Password: field to bring the cursor to it, and you will see the pull-down menu in the Identity: field. Select the identity to login as, then click OK.Switch User IdentityTo switch identities at any time, right-click the OmniPass system tray icon and click Switch User Identityfrom the submenu. The Switch Identity dialog will appear. Select the desired identity and then click OK.Identities and Password ManagementOn the Manage Passwords interface of the Vault Management tab of the OmniPass Control Center, there is a pull-down selection box labeled, Identity. This field lets you choose which identity you are managing passwords for. When you select an identity here, only those password protected dialogs that are associated with that identity are shown. You can perform all the functions explained in “PasswordManagement” on page 176.WHEN YOU DELETE AN IDENTITY,ALL OF ITS ASSOCIATED REMEMBERED SITES AND PASSWORDPROTECTED DIALOGS ARE LOST.
179 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceConfiguring OmniPassThis section gives an overview of both the Export/Import function and the OmniPass Control Center. Exporting and Importing UsersUsing OmniPass Control Center, you can export and import users in and out of OmniPass. The export process backs up all remembered sites, credentials, and enrolled fingerprints for an OmniPass user. All OmniPass data for a user is backed up to a single encrypted database file. During the import process, the Windows login of the exported user is required. If the proper credentials cannot be supplied, the user profile will not be imported.Exporting an OmniPass User ProfileTo export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center, and click Import/Export User under Manage Users.Click Exports an OmniPass user profile. OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Upon successfully authentication, you must name the OmniPass user profile and decide where to save it. An .opi file is generated, and you should store a copy of it in a safe place.YOU CANNOT IMPORT A USER INTO OMNIPASS IF THERE ALREADY IS A USER WITH THE SAME NAMEENROLLED IN OMNIPASS.•YOU SHOULD PERIODICALLY EXPORT YOUR USER PROFILE AND STORE IT IN A SAFE PLACE. IFANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR SYSTEM,YOU CAN IMPORT YOUR OMNIPASS PROFILE TO A NEWSYSTEM AND HAVE ALL YOUR REMEMBERED SETTINGS AND FINGERPRINTS INSTANTLY.•YOU DON'T FORGET THE WINDOWS LOGIN CREDENTIALS WHEN EXPORTING. WHEN YOU EXAMINETHE IMPORTATION,YOU ARE PROMPTED FOR AUTHENTICATION. THE CREDENTIALS THAT WILLALLOW A USER PROFILE TO BE IMPORTED ARE THE WINDOWS LOGIN CREDENTIALS OF THEEXPORTED USER. THEY ARE THE CREDENTIALS THAT HAD TO BE SUBMITTED WHEN THE USERPROFILE WAS EXPORTED. YOU WILL NEED USER NAME, PASSWORD,AND DOMAIN.
180 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceThis .opi file contains all your user specific OmniPass data, and it is both encrypted and password protected. This user profile does NOT contain any of your encrypted data files.Importing an OmniPass User ProfileTo import an OmniPass user open the OmniPass Control Center, and click Import/Export User under Manage Users. Click Imports a new user into OmniPass and then select OmniPass Import/Export File (*.opi) and click Next. OmniPass will then prompt you to browse for the file you had previously exported (.opi file). When you select the .opi file for importation, OmniPass will prompt you for authentication. The credentials that will allow a user profile to be imported are the Windows login credentials of the exported user. They are the credentials that had to be submitted when the user profile was exported. You will need User Name, Password, and Domain. If you don’t remember the value for Domain, in a PC or SOHO environment Domain should be your computer name.OmniPass will notify you if the user was successfully imported.Things to Know Regarding Import/Export•Assume you export a local Windows User profile from OmniPass. You want to import that profile to another machine that has OmniPass. Before you can import the profile, a Windows user with the same login credentials must be created on the machine importing the profile. Example: I have a Windows user with the username “Tom” and the password “Sunshine” on my system. I have enrolled Tom into OmniPass and remembered passwords. I want to take all my passwords to new system. I export Tom’s OmniPass user profile. I go to my new system and using the Control Panel I create a user with the username "Tom" and the password "Sunshine". I can now successfully import the OmniPass user data to the new system.•If you export an OmniPass-only user, you can import that user to any computer running OmniPass, provided that a user with that name is not already enrolled in OmniPass. •If you attempt to import a user profile who has the same name as a user already enrolled in OmniPass, the OmniPass import function will fail.
181 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceOmniPass Control CenterThis section will serve to explain functions within the OmniPass Control Center that weren’t explained earlier. You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of three ways:•Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in the Windows taskbar (typically in the lower-right corner of the desktop)•Click the Start button; select the Programs group; select the Softex program group; and click the OmniPass Control Center selection.•Open the Windows Control Panel (accessible via Start button --> Settings --> Control Panel) and double-click the Softex OmniPass icon.User ManagementThe User Management tab has two major interfaces: Add/Remove User and Import/Export User.Import/Export User functionality is documented in “Exporting and Importing Users” on page 179.Add/Remove User functionality is straightforward. If you click Adds a new user to OmniPass you will start the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. The Enrollment Wizard is documented in “User Enrollment” on page 171.If you click Removes a user from OmniPass, OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Authenticate with the credentials (or enrolled fingerprint) of the user you wish to remove. OmniPass will prompt you to confirm user removal. Click OK to complete user removal.REMOVING A USER WILL AUTOMATICALLY DESTROY ALL OMNIPASS DATA ASSOCIATED WITH THAT USER.ALL IDENTITIES AND CREDENTIALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USER WILL BE LOST.IFYOU’RE SURE YOU WANT TO REMOVE THE USER,WE RECOMMEND YOU EXPORT THE USER PROFILE.
182 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceUser SettingsThe User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings,Taskbar Tips, and Enrollment. User settings allow users to customize OmniPass to suit their individual preferences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied, etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips interfaces are self-explanatory.The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll fingerprints. For the procedure to enroll and authentication device refer to Chapter 2.3. To enroll additional fingerprints, click Enroll Authentication Device, and authenticate with OmniPass. Select the fingerprint recognition device in the Select Authentication Device screen (it should already be marked by a green check if you have a finger enrolled) and click Next.System SettingsThe OmniPass Startup Options interface can be found in the System Settings tab. With these options you can specify how your OmniPass Logon is tied to your Windows Logon.The first option, Automatically log on to OmniPass as the current user, will do just as it says; during Windows login, you will be logged on to OmniPass using your Windows login credentials. If the user logging into Windows was never enrolled into OmniPass, upon login no one will be logged on to OmniPass. This setting is appropriate for an office setting or any setting where users must enter a username and password to log into a computer. This is the default setting.With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you have logged on to Windows.With the third option, Do not log on to OmniPass at startup, OmniPass will not prompt for a user to be logged on.You can manually log on to OmniPass by right-clicking the OmniPass taskbar icon and clicking Log in User from the right-click menu.
183 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceTroubleshootingYou cannot use OmniPass to create Windows users. You must first create the Windows user, and you will need administrative privileges to do that. Once the Windows user is created, you can add that user to OmniPass using the same username and passwordCannot add Windows users to OmniPassIf you experience difficulties adding a Windows user to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local security settings. You can do this by going to Start, Control Panel,Administrative Tools, and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand Security Options, and double-click Network Access: Sharing and Security Model for Local Accounts. The correct setting should be Classic - Local Users Authenticate as Themselves.Cannot add a User with a Blank Password to OmniPasIf you experience difficulties adding a user with a blank password to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local security settings. First attempt the procedure explained in the Cannot add Windows user to OmniPass section. If the difficulties persist, then try the following procedure.Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies,expand Security Options, and double-click Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only. This setting should be set to Disabled.Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during Windows LogonAfter installing OmniPass on your system, you can choose to logon to Windows using OmniPass. You authenticate with OmniPass (via master password, or an enrolled security device) and OmniPass logs you into Windows. You may, during this OmniPass authentication, see a Login Error dialog box.This dialog box occurs when OmniPass was unable to log you into Windows with the credentials supplied (username and password). This could happen for any of the following reasons:•Your Windows password has changed•Your Windows account has been disabled
184 - Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor DeviceIf you are having difficulties due to the first reason, you will need to update OmniPass with your changed Windows account password. Click Update Password and you will be prompted with a dialog to reconfirm your password.Enter the new password to your Windows user account and click OK. If the error persists, then it is unlikely the problem is due to your Windows user account password changing.
