Getting to Know Your Tablet PC
Figure 2-11. Opening the display
Display Panel
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC contains a display
panel that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environ-
ments. The convertible design of your Tablet PC allows
you to open the display fully, rotate it 180 degrees, and
lay it face up on the keyboard. This allows you to use the
system as a tablet, much as you would a pad of paper.
OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL
1. Slide the latch release to the right. This releases the
locking mechanism. While holding the latch release,
lift display cover.
2. Lift the display backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable viewing
angle. (Figure 2-11)
USING THE SYSTEM AS A TABLET
If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform
the following steps.
1. Lift the display until it is perpendicular to the
keyboard. (Figure 2-13).
2. When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard,
rotate it clockwise (when viewed from the top). Be
very careful to rotate it in the direction indicated.
(Figure 2-14). Turn the display 180 degrees so that it
is facing backwards. (Figure 2-15)
3. Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it
forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard.
4. Push the latch towards the display (See "A" in
Figure 2-12). The latch will pivot so the top latch
disappears, and the bottom latch appears (See "B" in
Figure 2-12). Holding the latch down, lay the display
flush against the system so that the latch engages.
You can now use your system as a tablet. (Figure 2-
16)
Figure 2-12. Latching/Unlatching
5. To return the system to notebook configuration,
repeat step 3 and 2. Be sure to turn the display in the
opposite direction when performing step 2.

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 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 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.
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.

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.

Getting to Know Your Tablet PC
Pen and Active Digitizer
USING THE PEN
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.
Figure 2-24. LifeBook T Series Pen
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-
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 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 Tabl et and Pen S ettin gs 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 Switch
Barrel Switch
Use only the pen provided with your
Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that
were not designed for the LifeBook T
Series Tablet PC.

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.
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
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)
Figure 2-26. Using the pen with the screen
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.

Getting to Know Your Tablet PC
Volume Control
Your Fujitsu Tablet PC has multiple volume controls
which interact with each other.
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME
The volume can be controlled in several different ways:
■Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on
the Taskbar.
■Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9] 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.

Press the Suspend/Resume button to start your system.
When you are done working you can either leave your
Tablet PC in Standby mode, See “Standby Mode” on
page 36, or you can turn it off. See “Power Off” on
page 38
When you Power On your Tablet PC, it will perform a
Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts
and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is
found, your Tablet PC will emit an audio warning and/
or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On
Self Test Messages” on page 61 Depending on the nature
of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting
the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup
utility and revising the settings.
After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test
(POST), your Tablet PC will load your operating system.
BOOT SEQUENCE
The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed
the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet PC’s
BIOS. 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 Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
■The software initiates a system restart. Example:
When you install a new application.
BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your Tablet PC. Your BIOS
is 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 changing
I/O addresses and boot devices.
■System Data Security feature parameters, such
as passwords.
Entering the BIOS Setup Utility
To 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 appears
on the screen. This will open the main menu
of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current
settings displayed.
3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key
to scroll through the other setup menus to review or
alter the current settings.
BIOS Guide
A guide to your Tablet PC’s BIOS is available online.
Please visit our service and support Web site at
www.fujitsupc.com. Once there, select Support, then
select Tablet PCs under User’s Guides. Select LifeBook
Tablet PC BIOS Guides from the pull-down menu for
your Tablet PC series. If you are unsure of your Tablet
PC’s BIOS number, refer to your packing slip.
BOOTING THE SYSTEM
We strongly recommend that you not attach any external
devices until you have gone through the initial power-on
sequence.
When you turn on your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC for
the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen.
When you turn on your Tablet PC be sure
you have a power source. This means that
a battery is installed and charged, or that
the AC or Auto/Airline adapter is
connected and has power.
Never turn off your Tablet PC during the
Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause
an error message to be displayed when
you turn your Tablet PC on the next time.
See “Power On Self Test Messages” on
page 61

LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Three
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 oper-
ating conditions, such as those for the display bright-
ness. 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.
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.
Table 3-1. System Power States
SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON
When your Tablet PC is active, the Suspend/Resume
button can be used to manually put your Tablet PC into
Standby mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button when
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).
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
is in Standby mode. If the indicator is not visible at all,
the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernate mode
(See Hibernate Mode)
STANDBY MODE
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
Tablet PC can be put in Standby mode by:
■Pressing the Suspend/Resume button when your
system is turned on.
■Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down
menu.
■Timing out from lack of activity.
■Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery
Warning condition.
■Closing the system cover.
Your Tablet PC’s system memory typically stores the
file(s) on which you are working, open application(s)
information, and any other data required to support the
operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation

Getting Started
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.
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 pre-
configured 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.
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
reboot.
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.
■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 re-
initialized when the system restarts.
■The main advantage of using Hibernate
mode is that power is not required to
maintain your data. This is very impor-
tant 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.

User-Installable Features
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, chemi-
cals 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.
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.
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.
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.
■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 cur-
rent 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 infor-
mation 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.
Make sure that the Battery Charging
indicator and the percentage charge is
shown inside the Battery Level icon on the
Status Indicator Panel.
Using heavy current devices such as a
modem or frequent CD-ROM and
PCMCIA powered external device accesses
may prevent charging completely.
■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.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator 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
Tabl e t 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

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

MODEM RESULT CODES
The operating system and application software that is
factory installed detects the modem characteristics and
provides the necessary command strings to operate the
modem. The internal modem operation is controlled by
generic AT commands from the operating system and
application software. The standard long form result
codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to
keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The
operating system and application software may suppress
display of the result codes.
Examples of result codes are:
■OK
■NO CARRIER
■NO DIALTONE
■CONNECT 53000 (Connection complete
at 53,000 bps.)
■ERROR
■FAX
■RING (This means an incoming call.)
■BUSY
■NO ANSWER

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 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 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 c ha ng e th e b oo t - u p p r i or 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.

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 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 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 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 Partition
If 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 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.
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 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.

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.

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 replace-
ment. 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.
BATTERIES
Caring for your Batteries
■Always handle batteries carefully.
■Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they
may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects.
Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
■Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery.
■Recharge batteries only as described in this manual
and only in ventilated areas.
■Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
■Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6
months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
■Keep brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
■Set the power management for maximum battery life.
■Put your Tablet PC in Standby mode when it is turned
on and you are not actually using it.
■Limit your CD-ROM access.
■Disable the Windows CD auto insert function.

your Tablet PC and a peripheral device such as a digital
camera. Also known as "Firewire" or "iLINK".
IEEE802.11a
One of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by the 802
committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN
technology in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Elec-
tronic Engineers). This standard allows communica-
tions at the maximum speed of 54 Mbps by using a 5
GHz band which can freely be used without radio
communication license.
IEEE802.11b
One of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by 802
committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN
technology in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Elec-
tronic Engineers). It allows communications at the
maximum speed of 11 Mbps by a band of 2.4 GHz (ISM
band) which can freely be used without radio communi-
cation license.
IEEE802.11g
One of the wireless LAN standards prescribed by 802
committee in charge of establishing standards of LAN
technology in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Elec-
tronic Engineers). It allows communications at the
maximum speed of 54 Mbps by a band of 2.4 GHz (ISM
band) which can freely be used without radio communi-
cation license.
Infrared
Light just beyond the red portion of the visible light
spectrum which is invisible to humans.
Infrastructure
A designation of Wireless LAN network configurations.
It indicates a form of communication using an Access
Point. For details, refer to "Infrastructure connection"
on page 90.
IP Address
An address used for computers to communicate in the
TCP/IP environment.
Current IPv4 (version 4) uses four values in the range
between 1 and 255. (Example: 192.168.100.123).
There are two types of IP address: global address and
private address.
The global address is an only address in the world. It is
controlled by JPNIC (Japan Network Information
Center). A private address is an only address in the
closed network.
IR
An abbreviation for infrared.
IrDA
Infrared Data Association. An organization which
produces standards for communication using infrared
as the carrier.
IRQ

Ethernet, the first three bytes are used as the vendor
code, controlled and assigned by IEEE. The remaining
three bytes are controlled by each vendor (preventing
overlap), therefore, every Ethernet card is given a unique
physical address in the world, being assigned with a
different address from other cards. For Ethernet, frames
are sent and received based on this address.

MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit
The maximum data size that can be transferred at a time
through the Internet or other networks. You can set a
smaller MTU size to obtain successful communication,
if you have difficulty transferring data due to the fact
that the maximum size is too large.
Network authentication
The method of authentication performed by wireless
LAN clients to connect with the access point. There are
two types: open system authentication and shared key
authentication. The type of authentication must be set
to each client and also coincide with the setting of access
point with which to communicate. Network authentica-
tion is sometimes called authentication mode.
Network key
Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi-
cation. The personal computer uses the same network
key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore,
it is necessary to set the same network key as the other
side of communication.
Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)
When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is
performed to avoid interference or data theft. This
grouping is performed with "Network name (SSID)". In
order to improve security, the network key is set
allowing no communication unless "Network name
(SSID)" coincides with the network key.
NTSC
National TV Standards Commission. The standard for
TV broadcast and reception for the USA.
Open system authentication
One of network authentication types for wireless LAN.
Since there is no check of network key upon authentica-
tion, clients can connect to the access point without
submitting correct network keys. However, in case of
actual communications, the same network key must be
set. Open system authentication is sometimes called
Open key authentication.
Operating System
A group of control programs that convert application
commands, including driver programs, into the exact
form required by a specific brand and model of micro-
processor in order to produce the desired results from
that particular equipment.
Partition

refers to returning to active operation after having been
in one of the suspension states.
ROM
Read Only Memory. A form of memory in which infor-
mation is stored by physically altering the material. Data
stored in this way can not be changed by your Tablet PC
and does not require power to maintain it.
SDRAM

Serial Port
A connection to another device through which data is
transferred one bit at a time on a single wire with any
other wires only for control of the device not for transfer
of data.
Shared key authentication
One of the network authentication types for wireless
LAN. Upon authentication, the access point checks
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 near-
term 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
user to back up the data on the drive. Naturally not all
failures are predictable. SMART predictability is limited
to those attributes which the drive can self-monitor. In
those cases where SMART can give advance warning, a
considerable amount of precious data can be saved.
SRAM
