ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS
Once you have turned on your Tablet PC, you may want
to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more
comfortable viewing level. There are two ways to adjust
the brightness, keyboard and power management utility.
Using Keyboard to Adjust Brightness
Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the
system setting (i.e., the settings you make via the function keys automatically changes the brightness settings
in the system’s Pen and Tablet Settings).
Figure 2-14. Rotating the display
■
[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness
of your display.
■
[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the
brightness of the display.
Using Power Management to Adjust Brightness
To 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 Brightness
To adjust brightness using the Fujitsu menu, click on the
Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray in the lower right
corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, select
Brightness Control. The Tablet and Pen Settings window
will open. Select the Display tab and set the screen
brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios.
Figure 2-15. Display rotated completely
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.

If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three
times in succession, the system will “beep” for about one
minute. 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.
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 password can override the user password.
PRECAUTIONS
Opening and Closing the Cover
By 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

Touchpad Pointing
Device
The Touchpad pointing device built into your Tablet PC
is used to control the movement of the cursor to select
items on your display panel. The Touchpad is composed
of a cursor control, left and right buttons, and a scroll
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 left and right
mouse buttons. The scroll button allows you to navigate
through pages quickly without using the scroll bars. The
actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending
on the application that is being used. (Figure 2-19)
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To leftclick, 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 cursor to the item you wish
to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. (Figure 2-20)
DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does
not function with the right button. To double-click,
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press
and release the left button twice. (Figure 2-21)
Figure 2-21. Double-clicking
■
If the interval between clicks is too long,
the double-click will not be executed.

Pen and Active Digitizer
sponds to the right mouse button (when used in combination with the tip switch). The rear toggle of the barrel
button switch acts as an electronic ink "eraser".
USING THE PEN
The functions of the rear toggle and the tip click pressure can be changed by clicking [Start] -> Control Pane,
and double-clicking the Fujitsu Pen Settings icon.
You 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.
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.

Barrel Switch
Figure 2-24. LifeBook T Series Pen
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.
The 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-
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 pressure 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 pressure harder or softer, then click [Apply].
Use only the pen provided with your
Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that
were not designed for the LifeBook T
Series Tablet PC.
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 PEN
In 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 Tablet and Pen Settings icon.
2. Click Calibrate.
3. Adjust the display of your Tablet PC to a comfortable angle.

4. Using the pen, firmly touch the screen directly on
the (+) symbol; the (+) symbol will move to the
next location.
5. Repeat step 4 in the four corners, then click OK.
REPLACING THE PEN TIP
With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up
foreign particles that can scratch the screen. A damaged
or worn tip may not move freely, causing unpredictable
results when using the pen. If your pen exhibits these
problems, you should replace the pen tip. To do so, use
the pen tip removal tool included with your pen.
To avoid potential scratching and damage,
never use anything but the included pen
with the display.
To purchase additional or replacement
pens, visit the Fujitsu accessories Web site
at: http://www.fujitsupc.com.
Clicking
To left-click, touch the object you wish to select and then
lift the pen tip immediately. (Figure 2-27)
To right-click, press the front button on the barrel
switch or touch the pen to the screen for a couple of
seconds until the right mouse icon appears at the tip.
Gap
Figure 2-25. Tip Removal Tool
To remove the tip, position the tip in the gap between
the two ends of the tool (Figure 2-25). Pinch the tool
together so the tip is firmly clasped, then pull it from the
barrel. If the tip is worn or damaged, discard it.
To replace the tip, retrieve one of the new tips that
accompanied your pen. Insert the flat end of the tip into
the barrel and push it in firmly until it is seated.
If you need more tips, they can be ordered from the
Fujitsu Web site at: www.fujitsupc.com.
USING THE ACTIVE DIGITIZER
Figure 2-27. Clicking the screen
Double-Clicking
To double-click, touch the item twice, and then immediately remove the pen tip. (Figure 2-28)
The integrated active digitizer allows you to use the
included pen as a pointing device. You can use the pen
to click, double-click, drag items and icons, or to draw
like a pen or pencil in applications that support this
behavior, such as drawing or painting programs. See the
documentation that came with your application for
details. (Figure 2-26)

Volume Control
Your Fujitsu Tablet PC has multiple volume controls
which interact with each other.
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.
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 Tablet PC. Pressing
[F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the
volume of your Tablet PC.
There are twenty-six levels through which
the function keys cycle.
■
■
■
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.

Power Management
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC
may be controlled from settings made in your operating
system, pre-bundled power management application, or
from settings made in BIOS setup utility.
Power Mode
Fully On Mode
Besides the options available for conserving battery
power, there are also some things that you can do to
prevent your Tablet PC battery from running down as
quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate
power saving profile, put your Tablet PC into Standby
mode when it is not performing an operation, and you
can limit the use of high power devices. As with all
mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off
between performance and power savings.

your Tablet PC is active, but not actively accessing
anything, and immediately release the button. You will
hear two short beeps and your system will enter Standby
mode. (See figure 2-6 on page 12 for location).
Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your
Tablet PC’s system memory during periods of inactivity
by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will
turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of
the other internal components except those necessary to
maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your

If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Suspend/
Resume button will return your Tablet PC to active
operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in
Standby mode by looking at the Power indicator. See
“Power Indicator” on page 15. If the indicator is visible
and not flashing, your Tablet PC is fully operational. If
the indicator is both visible and flashing, your Tablet PC

from Standby mode, your Tablet PC will return to the
point where it left off. To resume operation, you must
use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation,
and there must be an adequate power source available,
or your Tablet PC will not resume.
If you are running your Tablet PC on
battery power, be aware that the battery
continues to discharge while your Tablet
PC is in Standby mode, though not as fast
as when fully operational.
HIBERNATE MODE
The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your
Tablet PC’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of
the Suspend/Resume mode. Your Tablet PC is preconfigured to perform this function. The Hibernate
mode can also be configured through the system BIOS
to run in other ways depending on what you need to
accomplish. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 34.
■
Standby or Hibernate modes should not
be used with certain PC Cards. Check
your PC Card documentation for more
information.
■
Disabling the Suspend/Resume button
prevents it from being used to put your
Tablet PC in Standby or Hibernate
mode. The resume function of the
button cannot be disabled.
■
If your Tablet PC is actively accessing
information when you enter Standby or
Hibernate mode, changes to open files
are not lost. The files are left open and
memory is kept active during Standby
mode or the memory is transferred to
the hard drive during Hibernate mode.
■
When PC Cards or external devices are
in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return
to the exact state prior to suspension,
because all peripheral devices will be reinitialized when the system restarts.
■
The main advantage of using Hibernate
mode is that power is not required to
maintain your data. This is very important if you will be leaving your Tablet PC
in a suspended state for a prolonged
period of time. The drawback of using
Hibernate mode is that it lengthens the
power down and power up sequences
and resets peripheral devices.
Using Hibernate Mode
Hibernate default setting is enabled for Windows XP.
To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow
these easy steps:
1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select
Control Panel -> Power Options.
2. Select Hibernation, and then select the box to
enable or disable this feature.
To use Hibernate mode with Windows XP systems:
1. Click on the Start button, click Shut Down.
2. Select Hibernate option from the “What do you
want the computer to do” list.
DISPLAY TIMEOUT
The Video Timeout is one of the power management
parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer
activity will cause the display to restart automatically.
This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume
button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows
Power Management.
HARD DISK TIMEOUT
The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power
management parameters. This feature saves power by
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart
automatically. This feature is independent of the
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows.
WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT
The Power Options icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the
Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off
the display and hard disks whether you are running the
Tablet PC on battery power or one of the adapters.
RESTARTING THE SYSTEM
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure
that you use the following procedure.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK. Your Tablet PC will shut down and

Lithium ion Battery
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has a Lithium ion
battery that provides power for operating your Tablet
PC 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 lower than 41° F (5° C) or
higher than 95° F (35° C). Extreme temperatures not
only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause
battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status
Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a
battery that is outside its operating temperature range.
See “Battery Charging Indicator” on page 16.
When using a high current device such as a modem,
CD-ROM drive, or hard drive, using the AC adapter
will conserve your battery life.
■
■
Do not leave a faulty battery in your
Tablet PC. It may damage your AC
adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter,
another battery or your Tablet PC itself.
It may also prevent operation of your
Tablet PC by draining all available current into the bad battery.
Under federal, state, or local law it may
be illegal to dispose of batteries by
putting them in the trash. Please take
care of our environment and dispose of
batteries properly. Check with your local
government authority for details
regarding recycling or disposing of old
batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support
representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu.
Actual battery life will vary based on
screen brightness, applications, features,
power management settings, battery
condition and other customer preferences.
CD-ROM drive or hard drive usage may
also have a significant impact on battery
life. The battery charging capacity is
reduced as the battery ages. If your
battery is running low quickly, you should
replace it with a new one.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
If you want to know the condition of the Lithium ion
battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the
Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the
battery level changes.
The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using
the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the
battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged
is installed in your Tablet PC and connect the AC or
Auto/Airline adapter.
Make sure that the Battery Charging
indicator and the percentage charge is
shown inside the Battery Level icon on the
Status Indicator Panel.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery,
therefore you do not need to discharge the battery
completely before recharging. The charge times will be
longer if your Tablet PC is in use while the battery is
charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly,
put your Tablet PC into Standby mode, or turn it off
while the adapter is charging the battery. See “Power
Management” on page 36.
Using heavy current devices such as a
modem or frequent CD-ROM and
PCMCIA powered external device accesses
may prevent charging completely.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, your Tablet PC will
beep every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator
will flash. If you do not respond to the low battery
alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they
are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a
multiple beep alarm and the Battery Level indicator will
show a dead battery. Your Tablet PC will then go into
Standby mode to try and protect your data for as long as
possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not be
lost once the Tablet PC reaches this point.
■
You may not be able to hear the alarm if
the volume control is set too low or is
turned off by the hardware or software.
However, you will be able to see the
Battery Level indicator flash. Once the
low battery alarm occurs you must save
all your data and put your Tablet PC into
Standby mode until you can provide a
new power source. You should provide a
charged battery or AC or Auto/Airline
Adapter as soon as possible.
■
When you are in Standby mode there
must always be at least one power
source active. If you remove all power
sources while your Tablet PC is in
Standby mode, any data that has not
been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Four
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Standby mode. Once your
Tablet PC goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you
will be unable to resume operation until you provide
a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged
battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to
press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be
maintained for some time, but if a power source is not
provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop
flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data
that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can
continue to use your Tablet PC while an adapter is
charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the
battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display
the operating level available in that battery.
(See figure on page 15) If this display shows a Shorted
Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must
be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your
Tablet PC.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC comes with one
battery pack; you might want to consider purchasing a
spare. By keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can
immediately swap with one that is not charged.
There are two ways to swap batteries: cold-swapping and
warm-swapping. Cold-swapping means swapping
batteries when the system has been powered down;
warm-swapping is performed when the system is in
Standby mode.
Cold-swapping batteries

drive C: Enter the setup utility and see if both the fixed
disk, and drive A: are properly identified and that the
boot sequence is set correctly. Unless you have changed
your installation greatly, the operating system should be
on drive C:. If the setup utility is correctly set, your hard
drive may be corrupted and your system may have to be
re-installed from your back up media.
*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn
This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in
System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the
memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed
bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data
if you continue. Contact your support representative.

Restoring Your
Pre-installed Software
The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD
contains:
■
■
■
Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific
directories) that are unique to your LifeBook notebook 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.
■
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:, restoring 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.
DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE)
PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE)
provides a way to restore your computer if you experience 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.
Using the DISE feature will reduce the
amount of usable disk space on your hard
disk drive.
Creating a Backup Image
You 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 up
Before 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 change the boot-up priority:
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 CDROM 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.

LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Four
2. 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 onscreen 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 desktop
To 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 Yes.
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 Partition
If there is not enough unused space in the backup partition on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition.
DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recommended 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 Image
You 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.
64
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 selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have
been un-installed or corrupted.
To re-install drivers and/or applications:
1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after
Windows has started. A Fujitsu 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 Components
1. 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.
Select one or more items from the list, or click
[Select All] to select all items in the list. (To de-select
your choices, click the [Clear All] button.
2. Click [Install Selected Subsystems] to install the
selected items.
Installing 3rd Party Applications
1. To install 3rd party applications, click on “3rd Party
Applications” in the left frame of the Welcome
screen. A list of applications will be displayed.
2. Select one of the items from the list, and follow the
instructions that appear on the screen. Note that
only one application may be installed at a time.
3. Repeat step 2 to install additional applications.

KEYBOARD
Caring for your Keyboard
The keyboard of your computer is a very sensitive
instrument. It is made up of many switches that are
activated when you press on the keys. The keyboard is a
major component of the heat dissipation system in a
Tablet PC. Due to heat and size considerations the
keyboard is not sealed. Because the keys are so close
together, it is not easy for the user to see when liquids
have fallen onto the circuitry below the keys.
Attempting to clean the keyboard with a spray on
cleaner or rag soaked with cleaner the liquid can drip
onto the circuitry sight unseen. Once the liquid seeps
between the layers of circuitry, it can cause corrosion or
other damage to the circuits. This can result in keys
which no longer operate, or which, when pressed, record
the wrong characters and other similar failures.
There is no repair for this problem other than replacement. The solution is to become aware of the issue and
take appropriate steps to protect your keyboard.
To clean the keyboard, use a rag dampened slightly with
cleaning solution. Use extreme care to prevent liquid
from dripping between the keys. Spraying directly on the
keys should be avoided. The spray should be applied first
to the cloth, and then the cloth wiped over the keys.
OPTIONAL FLOPPY DISK DRIVE AND
FLOPPY DISKS
Caring for your Floppy Disks
■
Avoid using the floppy disks in damp and
dusty locations.

whether the same network key is set to the client. If the
client uses a wrong network key or the network key itself
is not set, authentication is unsuccessful, allowing no
communications with the access point.
SMART
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology
(SMART) is an emerging technology that provides nearterm failure predictions for hard drives. When SMART
is enabled the hard drive monitors pre-determined drive
attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time.
If a failure is likely to occur, SMART makes a status
report available so that the Tablet PC can prompt the

Before Using the Wireless LAN
The Integrated Wireless LAN is an optional device available 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 operation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for
reference while using the device.
Types of Wireless LANs Covered by this Document
This 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 LAN
To 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 Device
This 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 maximum data rate of 11 Mbps, as specified by Wi-Fi.
Figure A-1. Ad Hoc Mode Network
90
■
The maximum communication range is approximately 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 Device
Ad Hoc Mode (See Figure A-1)
The “Ad Hoc Mode” refers to the network connecting
two computers using wireless LAN cards. This connection 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 communicate 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

access point, and such a connection is called the “Infrastructure Network.”
By using an access point, you can set and use a different
communication channel for each network group. Each
channel is given a different radio frequency, and it
eliminates the collision of communications and provides
a more stable communications environment.
on the structure of the building in which the wireless
LAN function is to be used, the presence/absence of
obstructions, the types of software to be used, installation status, radio-wave status, or other operating conditions. Decreases in communications speed or a
communications failure may also occur.
■
Distance the main unit of this personal computer is
from other electric appliances. If the main unit of the
person computer is installed near a powered-on electric appliance, the computer may not be able to communicate properly or trouble may occur in the electric
appliance.
■
If the computer is unable to communicate properly,
change the channel to be used or the installation location. During the use of a microwave oven or other
equipment generating strong high-frequency energy,
in particular, the personal computer may be highly
susceptible to the energy and unable to communicate
properly.
■
If a broadcasting station or wireless communications
equipment is present nearby and this prevents the
computer from communicating properly, moving the
main unit of the computer is suggested. Radio interference may also occur if the intensity of ambient
radio waves is too high.
How to Handle This Device
The Integrated Wireless LAN device is already installed
in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances,
it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install
it. The LAN has been configured to support the operating system with which your system shipped.
FOR BETTER COMMUNICATIONS
This personal computer may not operate properly due to
the operating environment. Strictly observe the
following precautions when installing the main unit of
the computer:
■
Since this personal computer and equipment compliant with IEEE 802.11a differ in operation frequency, it
is not possible to communicate between both.

FLOW OF OPERATIONS
■
Wireless channels 1 to 11 are used for
the IEEE802.11b-compliant wireless LAN
adopted by this personal computer. If
you are to use infrastructure connection
(network connection via an access
point), a channel number greater than
11 may have been preassigned or automatically assigned to the wireless channel to be used for the access point. In
that case, set the channel of the access
point to a channel number from 1 to 11.
For further details of the setting method,
refer to the manual of the access point
you are using.
■
To use infrastructure connection, refer to
the access point manual for the access
point-setting procedure.
■
You do not need to set the channel (frequency band). The channel being used
for the intended wireless LAN network is
detected automatically and your personal computer communicates through
that channel. When a new ad hoc wireless LAN network is constructed
between the main units of personal
computers, channel 11 is preassigned as
the default.
■
If it is necessary to change the channel,
change the setting of the access point.
For the setting procedure, refer to the
manual of the access point. In the case
of infrastructure connection, to use
ADSL (PPPoE) for accessing the Internet,
the MTU size of this personal computer
may need to be changed. For further
details, refer to the manual of the access
point.
The wireless LAN connection procedure contained in
this section is outlined below.
1.
Make sure the mobile computer is ready for the
transmission of radio waves from the wireless LAN.
For further details, see (See Starting Transmission
on page 92 for more information).
2.
Assign the parameters required for wireless LAN
connection. (See Preparation for wireless LAN connection on page 93 for more information).
3.
■
Enter the network name (SSID) and other data.
■
Enter the network key (the Wired Equivalent
Privacy or WEP key used to encode 802.11b
communications data).
Perform setting operations relating to network connection. (See Connection to the network on page 95
for more information)
■
Specify TCP/IP as the protocol, and confirm the name
of the work group and other settings.
■
Enter the data required for file/printer sharing on the
network. Perform this operation as required.
■
For infrastructure connection, enter data for the access
point. Refer to the manual of the access point for further details.
