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 using the volume dial above the keyboard on the right-hand side. (See Figure 2-8 on page 14 for location). Volume can be set from within the Volume Control Properties which are located either in the system tray or from Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices in the Control Panel. 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. 18 cygnus.book Page 19 Tuesday, September 30, 2003 4:22 PM G e t t i n g t o K n o w Yo u r L i f e B o o k 1 4 2 3 Figure 2-10. Touchpad Pointing Device 1 Cursor Control 2 Scroll Buttons 3 Right Button 4 Left Button TouchPad Pointing Device The TouchPad pointing device is built into your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The TouchPad is composed of a cursor control, a left and right button, and an up-and-down 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, and the more pressure you use, the faster the cursor will move. The left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used. The upand down scroll buttons allow you to quickly navigate up and down a screen. (Figure 2-10) An external mouse can be connected to the USB port on your LifeBook notebook, and be used simultaneously with the TouchPad. However, if you boot the system with an external mouse connected the TouchPad will be disabled or enabled depending on your BIOS settings.

This shouldn't be used as the normal means of shutdown, however.) You can also turn off your notebook by choosing Shut Down from the Windows Start menu. 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 LifeBook notebook will load your operating system. 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 notebook on the next time. (See Power On Self Test Messages on page 57 for more information) BOOT SEQUENCE The procedure for starting-up your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook's BIOS. When your 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). 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: Figure 3-3 Powering Up the System Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion Battery, you can press this button to Power On your LifeBook notebook. (Figure 3-3) When you turn on your LifeBook notebook be sure you have a power source. This means that the battery is installed and charged, or that the AC adapter is connected and has power. You turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook. You restart your LifeBook 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 the three keys [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 LifeBook notebook. The BIOS Setup Utility also allows you to configure such features as the System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords. Do not carry your LifeBook notebook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging your notebook. When you Power On your notebook, 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 notebook will emit an audio warning and/ or an error message will be displayed. (See Power On Self Test Messages on page 57 for more information) Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be 25 cygnus.book Page 26 Tuesday, September 30, 2003 4:22 PM LifeBook N Series User's Guide Entering the BIOS Setup Utility To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following: 1.

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. Make sure you have connected a phone line to your modem and you have Internet access before you use E-Registration. You may also register on our Web site: www.us.fujitsu.com/computers. You will need to be set up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to use this option. After re-installing Windows XP, you have thirty days to activate it. Product activation ensures that you are the only authorized user of this copy of Windows. 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 Product Activation is a required procedure. INSTALLING CLICK ME! The first time you boot up your system, you will see an icon called Click Me! on the desktop. When you click the icon, your system will automatically build the icon tray in the bottom right of the screen. These icons provide links to utilities that you will frequently access. The icon is automatically deleted after you launch Click Me! and restart the system. REGISTERING YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK What are the benefits of registering? You will receive an identification label for your LifeBook notebook, which, if your notebook is ever lost, may help in getting it returned to you. You also receive technical support access and useful product mailings. Proof of purchase is not required if you register within 30 days of your purchase. How do I register? With Windows, it is a part of the Windows Welcome process. If you do not register during the Welcome process you can double-click on the LifeBook Registration icon on your desktop and then follow the instructions. 27 cygnus.book Page 28 Tuesday, September 30, 2003 4:22 PM LifeBook N Series User's Guide Power Management Your 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 operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your LifeBook notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system. 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. Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition. Your LifeBook notebook'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 from Suspend mode, your LifeBook notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power and Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your LifeBook notebook will not resume. If you are running your notebook 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 operational. Disabling the Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend or Saveto-Disk mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled. The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-toDisk) mode should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation 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 suspension because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system re-starts. If your 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 Hibernation 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. Your system is set to use the Max Battery power scheme when running on battery power. If you change the power scheme to a different profile, your battery life may vary. POWER AND SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Power and Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the Power and 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. If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Power and Suspend/Resume button will return your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator. (See Figure 2-8 on page 14 for location) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your LifeBook notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in Save-to-Disk (Hibernation) mode. (See Hibernation (Save-to-disk) Feature on page 29 for more information) SUSPEND MODE Suspend or Standby mode 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 LifeBook 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. 28 cygnus.book Page 29 Tuesday, September 30, 2003 4:22 PM
