Keyboard Keyboard USING THE KEYBOARD Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has an integral 83-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys. (Figure 2-17) NUMERIC KEYPAD Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] key. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions. (Figure 2-17) If you are using the optional external numerical keypad, pressing the [NumLk] key will activate the external keypad. The indicator will come on, however it will not change any of the functionality of your keyboard keys. Numeric keypad: Your Tablet PC allows certain keys to serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to toggle between the standard character and numerical keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key. Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the right, left, up, or down within windows, applications and documents. Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12], are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce special actions that vary depending on what program is running. Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows operating system and function the same as the onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on your pointing device. WINDOWS KEYS Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC has two Windows keys: a Start key and an Application key. The Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The Application key functions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional information regarding the Windows keys.) (Figure 2-17) 19 LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Two CURSOR KEYS The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left, and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the "focus" (selects the next item up, down, left, or right). (Figure 2-17) FUNCTION KEYS Your Tablet PC has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ for each application. You should refer to your software documentation to find out how these keys are used.

LifeBook T Series Tablet PC Security/Tablet PC Buttons LifeBook Security/ Tablet PC Buttons A unique feature of your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC is the array of Security and Tablet PC buttons. These buttons allow you to secure your Tablet PC from unauthorized use and to launch specific applications with the touch of a button. If the security system is activated, upon starting your Tablet PC or resuming from Standby, Hibernate, or shutdown mode the security system will require you to enter a password code using the security buttons. After you enter the correct password, your Tablet PC will resume operation. The five security/Tablet PC buttons are located on the bottom right-hand side of the display when it is configured to be used as a notebook. (Figure 2-18) Security functions: All five buttons are used when implementing security functions. Four of the buttons are used to enter the password, and the fifth is used as an Enter button. See the right-hand column of Table 2-3. Tablet PC functions: All five of the buttons have primary functions. Four of the buttons have secondary functions when used as application buttons. The secondary functions are activated by pressing the Function (Fn) button while pressing the application button. See Table 2-3 for specific functions. The secondary functions of the Application A and B buttons can be changed to launch any application.

Numbered Buttons Use these buttons to enter your password.(Figure 2-18) Enter Button After entering the button strokes, push this button to enter the password into the Tablet PC. (Figure 2-18) PASSWORDS The user and supervisor password may be set on this Tablet PC. A supervisor password is typically the same for all Tablet PC's and notebooks in a work group, office, or company to allow for system management. Individual computers in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to five button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simultaneously. When you press the Screen Rotation / VGA-Out button, the system screen orientation changes from portrait (vertical) to landscape (horizontal) or from landscape to portrait. Function / Fujitsu Menu Utility Button The Function button works in conjunction with the other application buttons to provide additional functionality for the buttons. Refer to specific details above. 22 G e t t i n g t o K n o w Yo u r Ta b l e t P C The following are valid button strokes: USING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANEL The security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off, Standby, or Hibernation state. You always need to push the Security Panel buttons to input the user password. Your system will not begin the boot sequence until you enter your supervisor/user password. From Off State 1. Turn on your system. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the password and press Enter button. For example, if the password is 22222, first press Button 2 five times and press the Enter button. The Tablet PC will boot to normal operation. From Standby/Hibernation State 1. Press your Suspend/Resume button. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the password and press Enter button. The Tablet PC should resume normal operation.

Any software that contains audio files will also contain a volume control of its own. If you install an external audio device that has an independent volume control, the hardware volume control and the software volume control will interact with each other. It should be noted that if you set your software volume to Off, you will override the external volume control setting. CONTROLLING THE VOLUME The volume can be controlled in several different ways: Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on the Taskbar. Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9] functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will decrease the volume of your Tablet PC. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your Tablet PC. There are twenty-six levels through which the function keys cycle. Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications. Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume controls. Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level. 29 LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Two 30 3 Using Your Tablet PC 31 LifeBook T Series Tablet PC - Section Three 32 Getting Started DC Power Plug DC Output Cable AC Cable
