There are two ways to adjust the brightness, keyboard and power management utility. Using Keyboard to Adjust BrightnessAdjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the system setting (i.e., the settings you make via the func-tion keys automatically changes the brightness settings in the system’s Pen and Tablet Settings). ■[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display.■[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase thebrightness of the display.Using Power Management to Adjust BrightnessTo adjust brightness with the power management utility, click Start -> Control Panel -> Tablet and Pen Settings. Select the Display tab and set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios.Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust BrightnessTo adjust brightness using the Fujitsu menu, click on the Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, select Brightness Control. The Tablet and Pen Settings window will open. Select the Display tab and set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios. If using AC power your brightness setting is set to its highest level by default. If using battery power your brightness settings is set to approximately mid-level by default.The higher the brightness level, the more power the LifeBook T Series Tablet PC will consume and the faster your batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, make sure that the brightness is set as low as possible.T Series.book Page 18 Thursday, July 31, 2003 10:49 AM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WL0002.EUT-Host-User-Manual/User-Guide-350497-Page-24.png)
![19Getting to Know Your Tablet PCFigure 2-17. KeyboardKeyboardUSING THE KEYBOARDYour LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has an integral 83-key keyboard. 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. (Figure 2-17)■Numeric keypad: Your Tablet PC allows certain keys to serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to tog-gle between the standard character and numerical keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key.■Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrowkeys 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] key. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ),multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary func-tions. (Figure 2-17) WINDOWS KEYSYour LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has two Windows keys: a Start key and an Application key. The Start key displays the Start menu.

If a valid password is entered within a minute (while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the Tablet PC will resume normal operation. If no password is entered or an invalid password is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (standby or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reactivate the Tablet PC after a password failure, you must press the Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password.PRECAUTIONSOpening and Closing the CoverBy default, closing the cover automatically places your system into Standby mode. (You can change the action the system takes when the cover is closed by opening the Power Options Properties icon in the Control Panel, and selecting the Advanced tab. Make a choice from the drop down menu for “When I close the lid of my portable computer:” and click the [OK] button.) Opening the cover does not automatically place the Tablet PC into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Suspend/Resume button.■The purpose of supervisor password is to be able to bypass the user password in case the user password is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not lock the system.■You must set the supervisor and user passwords for the security panel to work.You may change or remove the supervisor or user password by repeating the steps defined above.Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The supervisor pass-word can override the user password.T Series.book Page 23 Thursday, July 31, 2003 10:49 AM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WL0002.EUT-Host-User-Manual/User-Guide-350497-Page-29.png)
![27Getting to Know Your Tablet PCPen and Active DigitizerUSING THE PENYou can use the LifeBook T Series Tablet PC pen to generate and create electronic “ink”, to select items, and to navigate 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 2-24. LifeBook T Series PenThe screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately 1/8 inch (3-5 mm) from the screen. The pen has three switches: a tip switch and a barrel button toggle switch with switches at both ends. By default, the tip switch corresponds to the left mouse button, and the front toggle (closest to the pen tip) barrel button switch corre-sponds to the right mouse button (when used in combi-nation with the tip switch). The rear toggle of the barrel button switch acts as an electronic ink "eraser".The functions of the rear toggle and the tip click pres-sure can be changed by clicking [Start] -> Control Pane, and double-clicking the Fujitsu Pen Settings icon. To change the rear toggle function, select the drop-down list to select a new function, then click [Apply]. If you don’t want the rear toggle to have any function, select Ignore from the list. Adjusting the click pressure determines how much pres-sure must be put on the pen tip in order for the screen to react. The softer it is set, less pressure is required; the harder it is set, more pressure is required. To change the click pressure, use the slider bar to make the click pres-sure harder or softer, then click [Apply]. 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 - 5 mm) 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, quickly tap the object twice.CALIBRATING THE PENIn order to ensure accurate tracking between the pen and cursor, you must run the Touch Screen Calibration Utility before you use the active digitizer for the first time, or after you change the display resolution.To run the calibration utility:1. Go to Start -> Control Panel and double-click on the Tabl et and Pen Sett ings icon. 2. Click Calibrate.3. Adjust the display of your Tablet PC to a comfort-able angle.You are advised to use a screen protector on your system display to minimize the chance of its being scratched. Screen protectors are available from the Fujitsu Web site at www.fujitsupc.com. The LifeBook T Series Tablet PC pen is a high-quality electronic instrument that can be damaged if used improperly. Treat the pen as you would any precision device. Observe the following guidelines:• 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.• 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. The pen should be stored in the pen holder when not in use.Tip SwitchBarrel SwitchUse only the pen provided with your Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that were not designed for the LifeBook T Series Tablet PC.T Series.book Page 27 Thursday, July 31, 2003 10:49 AM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WL0002.EUT-Host-User-Manual/User-Guide-350497-Page-33.png)
![29Getting to Know Your Tablet PCVolume ControlYour Fujitsu Tablet PC has multiple volume controls which interact with each other. CONTROLLING THE VOLUMEThe volume can be controlled in several different ways:■Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on the Taskbar.■Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9] func-tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will decrease the volume of your Tablet PC. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your Tablet PC.■Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications.■Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume controls.■Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.Any software that contains audio files will also contain a volume control of its own. If you install an external audio device that has an independent volume control, the hardware volume control and the software volume control will interact with each other. It should be noted that if you set your software volume to Off, you will override the external volume control setting. There are twenty-six levels through which the function keys cycle.

When your Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instruc-tions to start up your Tablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your Tablet PC, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your Tablet PC is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.The boot sequence is executed when:■You turn on the power to your Tablet PC.■You restart your Tablet PC from the WindowsShut Down dialog box.■The software initiates a system restart. Example:When you install a new application.BIOS SETUP UTILITYThe BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your Tablet PC. Your BIOSis set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environment to operate your Tablet PC.The BIOS Setup Utility configures:■Device control feature parameters, such as changingI/O addresses and boot devices.■System Data Security feature parameters, suchas passwords.Entering the BIOS Setup UtilityTo enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following: 1. Turn on or restart your Tablet PC.2. Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appearson the screen. This will open the main menuof the BIOS Setup Utility with the currentsettings displayed.3.

Replace the screws.CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITYOnce you have changed the system memory capacity by either adding or removing a memory upgrade module, be sure to check that your notebook has recognized the change.You can check the memory capacity by clicking [Start]-> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under “Computer.”The amount of memory displayed should be approxi-mately the total of all memory modules installed. There may be a discrepancy of 8 MB which is allocated for fixed video memory.Your Tablet PC uses Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT), which allows the video driver to dynamically determine the amount of memory that is used. Your Tablet PC can use a maximum of 64 MB of system memory for video functions. 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 Troubleshooting on page 54.T Series.book Page 44 Thursday, July 31, 2003 10:49 AM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WL0002.EUT-Host-User-Manual/User-Guide-350497-Page-50.png)

![63TroubleshootingRestoring Your Pre-installed SoftwareThe Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD contains:■Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your LifeBook note-book configuration for use as documented below.■A link to the Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) utility on your hard disk drive.■Read-me files that provide additional use information for items on this CD-ROM.DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) provides a way to restore your computer if you experi-ence a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu has used DISE to create an image of everything installed on the computer at the time you purchased it. The image is saved on a separate partition on the hard disk. You can use DISE to restore the factory image and return your computer to the state in which it was shipped from Fujitsu.Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store additional image files you create. For example, if you install several applications and save data files on your hard disk, you can create a new image that includes them and then save that image file on the hard disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can restore the image that includes the applications and data files you use.Creating a Backup ImageYou can create a system backup image of your C:\ drive at any time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition, and it must be directly before the backup partition on your hard disk.There are two ways to implement the DISE utility: when booting up the system, or from the desktop. Creating a backup image when booting upBefore creating an image at boot-up, you must first change the boot-up priority in the BIOS so that the system will go to the media drive first, rather than trying to boot-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive.To c h a n g e t h e b o o t - u p p r i o r i t y :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 and press [Enter].4. Arrow down to the CD-ROM drive in the list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move the CD-ROM drive to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot from the devices in the order in which they are listed.)5. 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 create a backup image when you are booting up:1. Install the DAR CD in the drive prior to booting up. When bootup begins, a message appears informing you that if you proceed, you will be able to: ■Create a new backup of drive C■Restore a previous backup, or,■Restore the original factory image. Note that creating a new backup will overwrite any previous backups, and restoring a backup or factory image will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files. ■In order to install applications and/or drivers from the DAR CD, you will need to connect an external CD drive to your system.■If the DAR CD is in the drive when you boot up the system, and the Boot Sequence is set in the BIOS to boot from the CD drive first (see “Creating a backup image when booting up” on page 63), a message will appear informing you that if you proceed, you will have a choice of: creating a new backup of drive C:, restor-ing a previous backup, or restoring the original factory image. Note that creating a new backup will overwrite any previous backups, and restoring a backup or factory image will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files. If you wish to install drivers or applications only from the CD, remove the disk from the drive, reboot the system, and insert the CD after Windows has started.If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu Support web site at www.fujitsupc.com to check for the most current information, drivers and hints on how to perform recovery and system updates.Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable disk space on your hard disk drive.T Series.book Page 63 Thursday, July 31, 2003 10:49 AM](https://usermanual.wiki/Fujitsu-Client-Computing/WL0002.EUT-Host-User-Manual/User-Guide-350497-Page-69.png)
![64LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Four2. After you click [Y]es. You will be presented with two options: [Create New Backup] and [Restore Backup].After you click [Create New Backup], follow the on-screen instructions. By selecting [Create New Backup], a new image will be written to your backup partition. This will overwrite any previously created image. Creating a backup image from the desktopTo create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary to create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD performs the same function.1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen, click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a warning that it must go to DOS to create the image.2. Click Ye s .DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If you created a backup image previously, the new image overwrites the old one.Enlarging the Backup PartitionIf there is not enough unused space in the backup parti-tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition. DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the size you want.DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough unused space in that partition to take, you will not be able to resize the backup partition and create an image file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.Restoring a Backup ImageYou can restore either a factory image or a backup image you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image you restore.1. Disable virus protection software. If virus protection software is enabled, DISE will lock up.2. From the DISE main window, click Options > Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore the factory image.DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec-tively 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 Welcome screen is displayed after the CD is inserted.2. From the left frame of the Welcome screen, “System Components” and “3rd Party Applications” can be selected. System Components are those drivers and utilities that have been developed by Fujitsu; 3rd Party Applications are applications developed by other vendors.Installing System Components1. To install system components, click on “System Components” in the left frame of the Welcome screen. A list of utilities and drivers will be displayed.

![90LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - AppendixBefore Using the Wireless LANThe Integrated Wireless LAN is an optional device avail-able for Fujitsu mobile computers. This manual describes the basic operating procedures for the Wireless LAN (referred to as the “device” in this manual) and how to set up a wireless LAN network. Before using this device, read this manual carefully to ensure correct oper-ation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for reference while using the device.Types of Wireless LANs Covered by this DocumentThis document is applicable to systems containing one of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are identical. Sections that differ between the two devices have been noted in the text:■Intel PROSet Wireless LAN■Broadcom Wireless LANTo determine which device is present in your system, click [Start] -> Control Panel. If there is an icon named “Intel PROSet”, you have the Intel device; if there is an icon named “Broadcom Wireless Utility”, you have the Broadcom device. Characteristics of the DeviceThis device consists of a wireless LAN card that is attached inside the computer via a mini-PCI slot.The main characteristics are as follows:■It operates in the 2.4 GHz radio frequency band.■The FCC does not require the user to obtain a license to operate this WLAN device.■It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), an RF modulation scheme that is resistant to noise.■This device is Wi-Fi compliant, and operates at a max-imum data rate of 11 Mbps, as specified by Wi-Fi.■The maximum communication range is approxi-mately 80 feet (25 meters) inside a building. The range may be shorter or longer, depending upon the installation factors, such as walls and columns.■Unauthorized access can be prevented with the use of an SSID and an encryption key (also known as a WEP key).Wireless LAN Modes Using this DeviceAd Hoc Mode (See Figure A-1)The “Ad Hoc Mode” refers to the network connecting two computers using wireless LAN cards. This connec-tion is called an “Ad Hoc network.”Using an Ad Hoc network, you can obtain a network connection easily and at a low cost.In the Ad Hoc mode, you can use the function supported by Microsoft Network, such as File and Print Sharing to exchange files and share a printer or other peripheral devices.To use the Ad Hoc Mode, you must set the same SSID and the same encryption key for all the computers that are connected. All connected computers can communi-cate with each other within the communication range. Infrastructure Mode (See Figure A-2)If a number of computers are connected simultaneously in the Ad Hoc mode, the transfer rate may be reduced, communications may become unstable, or the network connection could fail. This is because all wireless LAN cards are using the same radio frequency in the network.To improve this situation, you can use a wireless LAN access point, which is sold separately. The wireless LAN network is in the “Infrastructure mode” when it uses an Figure A-1.
