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

Display Panel
Your LIFEBOOK T731 Tablet PC contains an LED display panel that is backlit for easier viewing in
bright environments. The convertible design of your Tablet PC allows you to open the display fully, rotate
it in either direction 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
Press the display latch to release it, then lift the display backwards, being careful not to touch the screen
with your fingers, until it is at a comfortable viewing angle. (Figure 8)

Claw T731 UG.book Page 34 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:50 PM
Using the System as a Tablet
If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform the following steps.
• The display can be rotated in either direction, but when returning the system to notebook mode,
be sure to turn it back to its original position (i.e., the reverse of how you turned it when you
opened it. Turning the display in the incorrect direction could cause hinge damage. The screen
should rotate easily; if it does not rotate easily, you are probably attempting to turn it in the wrong
direction.
• In the following step, be sure to position the display perpendicular to the keyboard, otherwise
the keyboard or display cover could get scratched.
• It is important to note that no matter which mode your tablet is in, the latch should always be
engaged to prevent damage to it.
Press the latch button and lift the display until it is perpendicular to the keyboard. (Figure 10).
Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard.
When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard, rotate it 180 degrees in either direction (Figure 11) so that
it is facing backwards.
Push the latch towards the display (See “A” in
Figure 9). The latch will pivot so the top latch
disappears, and the bottom latch appears
(See “B” in Figure 9). 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 12)

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 three ways to adjust the brightness: keyboard, power
management utility, and Fujitsu Menu.
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).
• [Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display.
• [Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the brightness of the display.
Note that changing the brightness with the [Fn] key is temporary. When you resume or restart, you will
need to reset them if you used this method.

Using the Optional Capacitive Touchscreen
Certain configurations of this Tablet PC have an optional dual digitizer that allows you to use either the
stylus or your finger(s) as a pointing device. This type of display also allows you to use “gestures” to
perform such actions as scroll, zoom, and rotate.
• GESTURE SUPPORT IS DETERMINED BY THE APPLICATION IN USE.
• THE STYLUS TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER FINGER TOUCH. IF THE STYLUS IS WITHIN ACTIVE RANGE OF
THE SCREEN, FINGER TOUCH WILL BE DISABLED.
• WHEN ONE FINGER IS USED ON THE TOUCHSCREEN, IT BEHAVES IN THE SAME MANNER AS A STYLUS.
Right-clicking the touchscreen
To perform a right-click action using two fingers, press the first finger at the location you want to perform
a right-click, then quickly tap and release the second finger on the screen.
Gesture Mode 
To initiate gesture mode, two fingers must touch the screen within one 10th of a second of each other. If
the second finger touches the screen after one 10th of a second has elapsed, the second finger is ignored.
Gesture mode ends when both fingers are removed from the screen. Note that if a gesture can’t be
recognized, no action is taken. In that case, remove both fingers from the screen and try again.
Scrolling Gesture
To scroll through long documents or on a web page, place both fingers on the screen and move them in
parallel in the same direction; if only one finger moves, no scrolling will occur. You can scroll vertically
or horizontally, depending upon the direction of the gesture.
Zoom Gesture
The zoom gesture is especially helpful when viewing pictures. To zoom in, place two fingers on the item
you want to enlarge, then spread them away from each other. To zoom out, place two fingers on the item
you want to reduce, then move them towards each other.
Rotate Gesture
To change the orientation of an object on the screen, place two fingers on the image you want to rotate,
then move them in opposite directions (as if you were turning a knob). The direction the item turns is
dependant upon the direction you move your fingers.

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 changed or muted from within the Volume Control in the system tray.
• 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.
• Volume can be muted by pressing the [F3] key while holding down the [Fn] key. To restore audio,
repeat the [Fn+F3] procedure.
• 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 Fujitsu LIFEBOOK Tablet PC has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some
of these features are automatic and need no user intervention. 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, prebundled 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 Tablet PC into Sleep mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can
limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off
between performance and power savings.
Power/Suspend/Resume Switch
When your Tablet PC is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume switch can be used to manually put the Tablet
PC into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when the Tablet PC is active, but not
actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button.
If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch returns it to active operation.
You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible
and not flashing, your Tablet PC is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, the Tablet PC
is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernation mode.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inactivity by
maintaining power to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display, hard drive, and all other internal
components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting.
Your Tablet PC can be put in sleep mode by:
• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when your system is turned on.
77 - Power Management
Claw T731 UG.book Page 78 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:50 PM
• Selecting “Sleep” after clicking [Start] then clicking the small arrow at the bottom right of the
window.
• Timing out from lack of activity.
• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.
Your Tablet PC’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application
information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation
from Sleep mode, your Tablet PC will return to the point where it left off. You must use the
Power/Suspend/Resume switch to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source
available, or your Tablet PC will not resume.
■
IF RUNNING YOUR TABLET PC ON BATTERY POWER, BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO
DISCHARGE WHILE YOUR TABLET PC IS IN SLEEP MODE, THOUGH NOT AS QUICKLY AS WHEN FULLY
OPERATIONAL.
■
DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME SWITCH PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THE
TABLET PC INTO SLEEP OR HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) MODE. THE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION
CANNOT BE DISABLED.
■
THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH CERTAIN EXPRESSCARDS. CHECK
YOUR EXPRESSCARD DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE INFORMATION. WHEN EXPRESSCARDS OR
EXTERNAL DEVICES ARE IN USE, HIBERNATION MODE CANNOT RETURN TO THE EXACT STATE PRIOR TO
SUSPENSION, BECAUSE ALL OF THE PERIPHERAL DEVICES WILL BE RE-INITIALIZED WHEN THE SYSTEM
RESTARTS.
■
IF YOUR TABLET PC IS ACTIVELY ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE, CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT LOST. THE FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS
KEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEP MODE OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE
DURING HIBERNATION MODE.
THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR
DATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR TABLET PC 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.

Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Feature
The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your Tablet PC’s system memory to the hard drive as a part
of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.
Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature
The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:
From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then select the Power Options icon.
Select “Choose what the power button does” or “Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your selections
(Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).
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.
Click the [Start] button, and then move the mouse over the small arrow at the bottom right of the right-hand
pane.
Select Restart from the list.
TURNING OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET PC WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR
TABLET PC WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE SYSTEM BEING SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU
START THE NEXT TIME.

Powering Off
Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off
the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your Tablet PC shuts down
without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.
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.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your Tablet PC to complete its operations
and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:
Click the [Start] button, and then move the mouse over the small arrow at the bottom right of the right-hand
pane.
Select Shut Down from the list.

You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of user
inactivity, and the computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When going into
Sleep mode, the computer also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network links. To “wake” the
computer from Sleep mode, press the Suspend/Resume Button.
Energy saving benefits:
Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment –
saving half in utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the
environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas
emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher,
or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So
the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and
the risks of global warming.

Recharging the Batteries
If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator
located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge
the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LIFEBOOK Tablet PC and
connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.
MAKE SURE THAT THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS INDICATED BY THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR ON
STATUS INDICATOR PANEL.
THE
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery
completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your Tablet PC is in use
while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your Tablet PC into Sleep
mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 77 for more
information on Sleep mode and shutdown procedure)

Claw T731 UG.book Page 84 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:50 PM
USING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES OR FREQUENT EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE ACCESSES MAY PREVENT
CHARGING COMPLETELY.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to
the low battery message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When
this happens, your Tablet PC will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved
once the Tablet PC reaches this point.
■
■
ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE
DATA AND PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET PC INTO SLEEP MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW
POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY, AN AC POWER ADAPTER, OR
AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF
LIFEBOOK TABLET PC IS IN SLEEP MODE, ANY
DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.
YOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep 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 Power/Suspend/Resume switch 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 indicator associated with the Battery Level indicator displays the operating
level available in that battery. If this display shows a flashing red LED, it means the battery is damaged
and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your LIFEBOOK Tablet PC.
Replacing the Battery
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:
Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay, follow these easy steps (Figure 35):
Have a charged battery ready to install.
Shut down your Tablet PC and disconnect the AC adapter.
While pushing the battery bay release latches towards each other, slide the battery out of the bay.
Insert a new battery into the bay, and press it in firmly so that the latches click into place.
Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.
Hot-swapping Batteries
To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps:
BE SURE TO PLUG IN AN AC ADAPTER PRIOR TO REMOVING THE BATTERY. THERE IS NO BRIDGE
BATTERY PRESENT TO SUPPORT THE SYSTEM WHILE THE BATTERY IS BEING REPLACED. IF YOU DO NOT
USE AN
AC ADAPTER YOU WILL LOSE ANY UNSAVED FILES.
Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet.

Audio Problems
There is no sound coming
from the built-in speaker.
Possible Cause
Possible Solutions
The volume is turned too low.
Adjust the volume control on your Tablet PC and operating
system. Use the [Fn+F9] key combination on your keyboard.
Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the
volume of your Tablet PC.
The software volume control
is set too low.
Manually adjusting the volume (i.e., keyboard "hot keys")
should dynamically adjust the volume of the operating system (see above). If that doesn’t work, adjust the sound volume control settings in your software or application.
Headphones are plugged into
your Tablet PC.
Plugging in headphones disables the built-in speakers.
Remove the headphones.
BIOS audio settings are incorrect.
Set the BIOS setup utility to the default values within the Multimedia Device Configuration menu. See “BIOS Setup Utility”
on page 73.
Software driver is not 
configured correctly.
The audio driver may be installed or reinstalled using the
Drivers and Applications CD that came with your Fujitsu
LIFEBOOK. Refer to your application and operating system
documentation for help.
The speakers have been
muted using the Volume icon
in the system tray.
Click the Volume icon in the system tray on the bottom right
of the screen. (It looks like a speaker). If the Mute box has a
red circle on it, click on it to unselect it. You can also use the

Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image before beginning to use your
system. To do so, follow the instructions below in the “Saving Your Factory Image” section.
Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other
important procedures, such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system
images, managing your images, and restoring the partitions on a hard drive.
•
IN ORDER TO INSTALL APPLICATIONS AND DRIVERS, MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES, AND BURN
DRIVERS AND APPLICATION RESTORE DISCS, APPLICATION MEDIA, AND BOOTABLE DISCS YOU MUST HAVE AN
INTERNAL OR EXTERNALLY CONNECTED WRITABLE DVD DRIVE.
•
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COPY YOUR FACTORY IMAGE TO REMOVABLE MEDIA (E.G., DVD DISCS).
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN AN INABILITY TO RESTORE THE IMAGE AT A FUTURE DATE.
• WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE DVD-R OR DVD+R DISCS FOR YOUR BACKUP, BUT SUPPORTED MEDIA* FOR
IMAGE BACKUPS INCLUDE:
FOR FACTORY IMAGE, DAR, APPLICATION DATA, AND BOOTABLE DISC: DVD-R/+R.
FOR USER-CREATED BACKUP IMAGE: DVD-R/+R, DVD-RW/+RW, DVD-DL. 

* DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE
FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKUPS.
DUE TO CERTAIN LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, SOME THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED
SEPARATELY USING THE APPLICATION MEDIA BUNDLED WITH YOUR SYSTEM.
Saving your Factory Image
When you purchased your system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden
partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that
in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.
119 - Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
Claw T731 UG.book Page 120 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:50 PM
After you launch the ClickMe! utility when you first start up your system, you should make a copy of the
Factory Image to DVD discs. You will need several blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are
recommended) in order to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them
in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.
Creating Backup Images of Factory Image, DAR, and Discs
SOME CONFIGURATIONS OF CERTAIN LIFEBOOK MODELS DO NOT HAVE APPLICATIONS LOADED ON THE HARD
DRIVE; RATHER, THEY ARE LOADED ON THE DAR DISC. PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN READING THE
FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.
Using the [Manage/Change] button, you can create backup images of the Factory Image, DAR,
Application Disc, or Bootable Disc.
Launch My Recovery from the desktop icon.
Select Recovery Disc, then click [Make DVD]
The message “Recovery Disc #1. will be created. Enter your comments and number of media on the DVD”.
Click [YES] to burn the Factory Image.
Select [Manage/Create] -> [Backup Images] 
The Backup Images menu displays a list from which you can choose which type of disc you want to burn:
Bootable Disc, Drivers and Applications Restore Disc, Application Disc, or Recovery Disc.
Confirm that the # box has “2” (Note that in some cases the box may display a larger number for the factory
image, depending upon its size.)
IN THE FOLLOWING STEP, DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE COPY IS COMPLETE.
While the copy is being made, a “Writing to the media” screen displays a progress bar. When the copy is
complete, a dialog will appear informing you of the successful completion of the backup.
120 - Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
Claw T731 UG.book Page 121 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:50 PM
Repeat the process for the remaining three images on disc (Bootable Disc, Drivers and Applications Restore
Disc, and Application Disc). The number of images available may vary depending on your system model; some
models do not have the applications loaded on the hard drive.
Recovering Your Factory Image
In the event you need to restore your original Factory Image, perform the following steps. Note that there
may be some third-party applications that need to be installed from the application media bundled with
your system.
ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.
In order to recover your Factory Image, perform the steps outlined in “Running Recovery and Utility from
hard disk” on page 3.
Backing Up a System Image
User-Configured System Backups: On your desktop, there is a [MyRecovery] icon that
allows you to make backups of your current system image either to another location on your My Recovery
hard drive or on removable media. A system image is the configuration of your C: drive at a
particular point of time. You may want to make system image backups occasionally in order to have points
to which you can return without having to go all the way back to the Factory Image.
By default, system images are saved in the D: drive in the MyRecovery folder. You can also elect to save
the image to an external hard drive.
Click the [MyRecovery] icon on your desktop.
Click the [OK] button and the system will reboot.
Click the [Backup] button on the MyRecovery screen.
On the next screen that appears, you can enter up to 200 characters of information about the backup file. This
information will help you to identify the image at a later date.
121 - Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
Claw T731 UG.book Page 122 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:50 PM
After rebooting, the “Creating of the backup image” window appears, in which you can either click [Create the
image on D drive] or [Select the drive] if you want to save to an external hard disk drive.
An image appears showing you graphically how the image will be stored. Click the [Next] button.
Click [Execute] to start the backup.
122 - Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
Claw T731 UG.book Page 123 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:50 PM
Managing Your Backup Images
With the MyRecovery tool you can also make copies of backup images, archive them on DVD, or delete
them from your hard drive.
To begin, click the [MyRecovery] icon on your desktop.
Click the [Manage/Create] button in the MyRecovery window.
When the MyRecovery Manager window appears, click [Manage Backup Images].
In the next window, a list of your backup images appears. Below the list are three buttons allowing you to [Make
DVD], [Copy], or [Delete] your backup images.
Select an image title from the list, then click the action button you would like to perform.
Note that if you copy an image to an external hard drive, both the original and the copy will appear in the [Backup
Images] window with identical names, dates, and file sizes, but with the different drive letter to distinguish them.
Before you select [Make DVD], be sure you have a recordable DVD drive connected and blank DVDs available.
Note that you need to have an external disk drive connected for the [Copy] button to be enabled. If you elect to
copy the image, you will be prompted to enter the destination. If you are ready to copy, click [OK] to proceed.
A progress screen appears while the backup copy is being made.
Using the Recovery and Utility Tools
The Recovery and Utility tools consist of a variety of tools that will help you recover your Factory Image,
recover system images, and delete the data from your hard disk.
Methods for accessing the utilities
Recovery and Utility Tools are preinstalled in a hidden partition by the factory, or they can be accessed by
using the bootable disc. Please note that you can delete Recovery and Utility tools from your hard disk
drive if you modify the partitions. In this case you will not be able to use the hidden partition for booting
to Recovery and Utility Tools, but you will still be able to boot from the disc.
Determining whether Recovery and Utility is pre-loaded
Turn on or reboot your system. When the Fujitsu logo appears, press [F12] key.
123 - Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
Claw T731 UG.book Page 124 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:50 PM
