The optional Quick Point device consists of a cursor
control button at the lower center of the keyboard. It is
roughly the same size and shape as a pencil eraser. The
cursor control works the same way a mouse ball does,
and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires
light pressure to move; the more pressure you use, the
faster the cursor will move.
When used with the Quick Point button, the middle
Touchpad button allows you to scroll up and down a
screen.

Getting to Know Your LifeBook
Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME
The volume can be controlled in several different ways:
■Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on
the Taskbar.
■Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 function
keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will
decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [F9]
repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume
of your notebook.
■Volume can be controlled by many volume controls
that are set within individual applications.
■Certain external audio devices you might connect to
your system may have hardware volume controls.
Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the
volume level that must then be followed by the other
sources.
We recommend that you experiment with the various
volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.
Any software that contains audio files will
also contain a volume control of its own. If
you install an external audio device that
has an independent volume control, the
hardware volume control and the software
volume control will interact with each
other. It should be noted that if you set
your software volume to Off, you will
override the external volume control
setting.
There are 26 levels through which the
function keys cycle.

Getting Started
Starting Your
LifeBook Notebook
POWER ON
Power/Suspend/Resume Button
The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on
your LifeBook notebook from its off state. Once you
have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal
Lithium ion battery, you can power on your LifeBook
notebook. (See figure 2-4 on page 6 for location)
To turn on your LifeBook notebook from its off state,
press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, located above
the keyboard. When you are done working you can
either leave your LifeBook notebook in Suspend mode,
(See Suspend Mode on page 32 for more information), or
you can turn it off (See Power Off on page 33 for more
information).
When you power on your LifeBook, 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 LifeBook notebook will emit an audio warning and/
or an error message will be displayed. (See Power On Self
Test Messages on page 64 for more information)
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 notebook will load your operating system.
BOOT SEQUENCE
The procedure for starting up your notebook is called
the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s
BIOS. When your LifeBook notebook is first turned on,
the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find
instructions to start up your notebook. This information
is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or
restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence
which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system
is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing
a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test
(POST). If the 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 LifeBook notebook.
■You restart your notebook from the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
■The software initiates a system restart. Example:
When you install a new application.
■You reset the system by pressing [CTRL+ALT+DEL].
BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your LifeBook notebook.
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 notebook.
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 LifeBook notebook.
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 notebook’s BIOS is available online.
Please visit our service and support Web site at http//
www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support. Once there,
select Support, then select Notebooks under User’s
Guides. Select LifeBook BIOS Guides from the pull-
down menu for your LifeBook series. If you are unsure
of the notebook BIOS number, refer to the packing slip.
When you turn on your LifeBook
notebook be sure you have a power
source. This means that at least one
battery is installed and charged, or that the
AC or Auto/Airline adapter is connected
and has power.
Do not carry your LifeBook notebook
around with the power on or subject it to
shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging
your notebook.
Never turn off your LifeBook notebook
during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it
will cause an error message to be displayed
when you turn your LifeBook notebook on
the next time. (See Power On Self Test
Messages on page 64 for more
information)

BOOTING THE SYSTEM
We strongly recommend that you do not attach any
external devices and do not put a DVD/CD in any drive
until you have gone through the initial power on
sequence.
When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first
time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you
do nothing the system will load the operating system,
and then the Windows Welcome will begin.
Designed to accommodate the needs of users in many
different countries, Windows needs to be configured the
first time you use it. Windows has three parts:
■Getting Started: You have the opportunity to enter
custom information for your configuration file and
setup your modem so that your LifeBook notebook
will be prepared to dial out.
■Registration: Easy online registration for Windows
with Microsoft, and for your LifeBook notebook with
Fujitsu.
■Windows License Agreement and Final Settings:
You have the opportunity to review the Windows.
Getting Started
Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in
the information as directed. You will be asked for such
items as the language you wish to use, the country in
which you live, your first and last name, and about how
you dial out from where you will be using your note-
book. For the modem settings, enter your current
location information where you will be using your
LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a phone
line and plan to register at a later time, you may click the
Skip button, and you will go directly to the condition of
use page.
Once you have set up your notebook to dial out,
Windows will make a free telephone call which will test
these settings. If the call is unsuccessful, you will be
returned to the phone settings page where you may try
to fix them. If you are unable to fix the settings please
contact Fujitsu Service and Support. (See Fujitsu Contact
Information on page 1 for more information) If you would
simply like to move on, and register at a later time, you
may click the Skip button, and you will go directly to the
Condition of Use page.
Registration
If your connection is successful, you will go to the
Registration Confirmation page. On this page simply
enter the requested information, and then check the
box at the bottom to register your copy of Windows with
Microsoft. Once you have finished, click the Next button
to continue.
You will then go through the Fujitsu registration process.
Follow the instructions on the screens, and enter all of
the necessary information. Be as specific as possible so
that if you need help the service and support team will
be able to serve you better.
Final Settings
The first part of your final settings is the Windows End
User License Agreement. Read the agreement carefully.
When you finish reading you must accept or reject the
terms of the agreement and then click on the Next button.
WINDOWS PRODUCT ACTIVATION
Windows XP has already been pre-installed and pre-
activated when you receive the system.
In the event you need to re-install Windows XP (e.g.,
after making significant configuration changes), it may
be necessary to reactivate the operating system. To do so,
use the following information.
■After re-installing Windows XP, you have thirty days to
activate it. Product activation ensures that you are the
authorized owner of the Windows XP operating sys-
tem.
■Until you activate the product, you will be prompted
whenever you turn on the system that activation is
required. Follow the on-screen directions to activate
your operating system. The product only needs to be
activated once, unless significant hardware changes are
made to your system.
■Note that Product Activation and Registration are not
the same thing. Registration is optional, whereas Prod-
uct Activation is a required procedure.
If your data security settings require it, you
may be asked for a password before the
BIOS main menu will appear.
Make sure you have connected a phone
line to your modem before you use E-
Registration.
If you do not register at this time you can
do it later simply by double-clicking on the
LifeBook Registration icon on your
desktop and following the instructions.
If you reject the terms of the license
agreement you will be asked to review the
license agreement for information on
returning to Windows or to shut down
your LifeBook notebook.

LifeBook S7000 Notebook
Power Management
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has many options and
features for conserving battery power. Some of these
features are automatic and need no user intervention,
such as those for the internal modem. However, others
depend on the parameters you set to best suit your oper-
ating conditions, such as those for the display bright-
ness. Internal power management for your notebook
may be controlled from settings made in your operating
system, pre-bundled power management application, or
from settings made in BIOS setup utility.
Besides the options available for conserving battery
power, there are also some things that you can do to
prevent your battery from running down as quickly.
For example, you can create an appropriate power saving
profile, put your notebook into Suspend mode when it
is not performing an operation, and you can limit the
use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery
powered computers, there is a trade-off between
performance and power savings.
POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON
When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Power/
Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put
your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the Power/
Suspend/Resume button when your notebook is active,
but not actively accessing anything, and immediately
release the button. You will hear two short beeps and
your system will enter Suspend mode. (See figure 2-4 on
page 6 for location)
If your LifeBook is suspended, pushing the Power/
Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active
operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended
by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-4 on
page 6) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your
notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible
and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the
indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook
is in Hibernation mode. (See Hibernation Feature)
SUSPEND MODE
Suspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the
contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory
during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to
critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the
display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal
components except those necessary to maintain system
memory and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be
put in Suspend mode by:
■Pressing the Power/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.
Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file
on which you are working, open application informa-
tion, and any other data required to support operations
in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend
mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left
off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to
resume operation, and there must be an adequate power
source available, or your notebook will not resume.
■If you are running your LifeBook note-
book on battery power, be aware that
the battery continues to discharge while
your notebook is in Suspend mode,
though not as fast as when fully opera-
tional.
■Disabling the Power/Suspend/Resume
button prevents it from being used to
put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend
or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode.
The resume function of the button can-
not be disabled.
■The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-
Disk) mode should not be used with cer-
tain PC Cards. Check your PC Card doc-
umentation for more information. When
PC Cards or external devices are in use,
Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode cannot
return to the exact state prior to suspen-
sion, because all of the peripheral
devices will be re-initialized when the
system restarts.
■If your LifeBook notebook is actively
accessing information when you enter
the Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-
Disk) mode, changes to open files are
not lost. The files are left open and
memory is kept active during Suspend
mode or the memory is transferred to
the internal hard drive during Hiberna-
tion mode.
The main advantage of using the
Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) function is that
power is not required to maintain your
data. This is particularly important if you
will be leaving your LifeBook notebook in
a suspended state for a prolonged period
of time. The drawback of using
Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the
power down and power up sequences and
resets peripheral devices.

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 Power/Suspend/
Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in
Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility
on page 29 for more information)
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 Power/
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS
Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)
WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT
Power Management
The Power Management icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some power
management settings. For example, you can use Power
Management to set the timeout values for turning off the
display and hard disks whether you are running the
notebook on battery power or one of the adapters. The
settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See BIOS
Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)
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

Before turning off the power, check that the Hard Drive,
optical drive, PC Card, and Floppy Disk indicators are
all Off. (See figure 2-4 on page 6). If you power-off while
accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To
ensure that the notebook shuts down without error, use
the Windows shutdown procedure.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows
allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The
proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down or
Tur n Of f Computer.
2. Select the Shut Down option from within the
Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to shut down your notebook.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.
Turning off your notebook without exiting
Windows, or turning it on within 10
seconds of being shut off may cause an
error when you start the next time.
Be sure to close all files, exit all
applications, and shut down your
operating system prior to turning off the
power. If files are open when you turn the
power off, you will lose any changes that
have not been saved, and may cause disk
errors.
