other special function keys. This section describes the
following keys. (Figure 2-11)
■Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to
serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and
as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to tog-
gle 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

Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device comes 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 a scrolling button. The cursor
control works the same way a mouse does, and moves
the cursor around the display. It only requires light pres-
sure with the tip of your finger. 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 scrolling button
allows you to navigate quickly through pages, without
having to use the scroll bars. (Figure 2-12)
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-
click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select,
press the left button once, and then immediately release
it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you
wish to select, press the right button once, and then
immediately release it. You also have the option to
perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the
Touchpad once. (Figure 2-13)
Figure 2-13 Clicking
DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does
not function with the right button. To double-click,
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press
the left button twice, and then immediately release it.

Figure 2-16 Scrolling
OPTIONAL QUICK POINT FEATURE
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.
■If the interval between clicks is too long,
the double-click will not be executed.
■Parameters for the Touchpad can be
adjusted from the Mouse Properties
dialog box located in the Windows
Control Panel.

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 func-
tions 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.

LAUNCHING APPLICATIONS WITH
THE SECURITY/APPLICATION PANEL
The security panel also enables you to launch applications
with the touch of a button when your system is on.
Pressing any of the buttons will launch a user-defined
application. Your notebook is pre-installed with software
utilities that let you operate and configure your LifeBook
Security /Application Panel. These utilities are found in
the Start menu, under Settings -> Control Panel ->
Application Panel. (For Windows XP users, go to Start ->
Control Panel -> Other Control Panel Settings ->
Application Panel. They include two Application Panel
Setup tabs, E-mail Setup, and Internet Setup.
Configuring your LifeBook Application Panel
When you start Windows, the LifeBook Application
Panel is automatically activated. An icon resembling a
finger pressing a button will appear on the system tray
(the indented portion of the status bar where the clock is
displayed). When you see this icon you will know that
LifeBook Application Panel is active.
As an application launcher, the LifeBook Application
Panel is very flexible, giving you a variety of options. To
set up the Panel to best suit your needs, we have
provided the Application Panel Setup utility that quickly
and easily helps you make the most of this valuable
feature.
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with
Application Panel Setup:
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Click on LifeBook Application Panel.

are tabs that correspond to the application buttons on
the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your
notebook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch
specific programs, as referenced in Chapter 7 of this
document.
Removing the applications does not
remove the password. It simply removes
the utility to change/add/remove
passwords. To change your password you
must reinstall the application.
The tabs in Application Panel Setup may
not be in the same order as the buttons on
your LifeBook notebook, please select the
tab you wish to change carefully.

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 2-3 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 when the Fujitsu logo appears on
the screen. This will open the main menu of the
BIOS Setup Utility with 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
us.fujitsu.com/computers. Once there, select Support,
then select Notebooks under User’s Guides. Select Life-
Book BIOS Guides from the pull-down menu for your
LifeBook series. If you are unsure of your notebook’s
BIOS number, refer to your 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 how you
dial out from where you will be using your notebook.
For the modem settings, enter your current location
information where you will be using your 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
Your system has Windows XP as an operating system,
and it 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 30 days to
activate it. Activation ensures that you are the autho-
rized owner of the Windows XP operating system.
■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.

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 2-3 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 2-3 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.
33
G e t t i n g S t a r t e d
HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE
The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your
LifeBook notebook’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 is not enabled. To enable or disable
the Hibernation feature follow these easy steps:
1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select
Control Panel.
2. From the Control Panel select Power Options.
3. Select the Hibernation tab. Select the box to enable
or disable this feature.
Using the Hibernation Feature
1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select
Control Panel.
2. From the Control Panel select Power Options.
3. Select the Advanced tab. Select Hibernate from the
pull down menu for Power buttons.
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
Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to restart your notebook. Your notebook
will shut down and then reboot.
POWER OFF
Before turning off the power, check that the Hard Drive,
optical drive, PC Card, and Floppy Disk indicators are
all Off. (See figure 2-3 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
Turn Off 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.

Lithium ion Battery
Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery that
provides power for operating your notebook when no
external power source is available. The battery is durable
and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme
temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.
The Lithium ion battery operating time may become
shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
■When used at temperatures that exceeds a low of 5°C
or a high of 35°C. Extreme temperatures not only
reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery
deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indi-
cator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery
that is outside its operating temperature range.
(See Battery Charging Indicators on page 13 for more
information)
■When using a high current device such as a modem,
Super-Multi DVD drive, CD-ROM drive, DVD/CD-
RW combo drive, or the hard drive, using the AC
adapter will conserve your battery life.
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 notebook 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
significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the
battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery
more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode,
or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.
(See Power Management on page 32 for more information
on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure)
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notifica-
tion 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 notebook will go into Suspend mode.
There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once
the notebook reaches this point.
Do not leave a faulty battery in your
LifeBook notebook. It may damage your
AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter,
another battery or your notebook itself. It
may also prevent operation of your
notebook by draining all available current
into the bad battery.
■Actual battery life will vary based on
screen brightness, applications, fea-
tures, power management settings, bat-
tery condition and other customer
preferences. CD-ROM drive, Super-
Multi DVD drive, DVD/CD-RW drive
combo, 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.
■Under federal, state, or local law it may
be illegal to dispose of batteries by put-
ting them in the trash. Please take care
of our environment and dispose of bat-
teries properly. Check with your local
government authority for details regard-
ing recycling or disposing of old batter-
ies. If you cannot find this information
elsewhere, contact your support repre-
sentative at 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800-
838-5487)
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
Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-
ROM accesses may prevent charging
completely.
■Once the low battery notification mes-
sage appears, you need to save all your
active data and put your LifeBook note-
book into Suspend 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 Suspend mode there
must always be at least one power
source active. If you remove all power
sources while your LifeBook notebook is
in Suspend mode, any data that has not
been saved to the hard drive will be lost.
38
L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your
notebook 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 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 notebook 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 2-
10 on page 12) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it
means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it
does not damage other parts of your LifeBook notebook.
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:

Figure 4-2. Optical Drive
Optical Drive
There is a variety of media available to use with your
system, depending upon the system configuration you
have selected. Super-Multi DVD drives, DVD/CD-RW
Combo drives, and CD-ROM drives are collectively
known as “optical drives”.
A CD-R or DVD-R disc can only be written to once;
CD-RW or DVD-RW discs can be written to over and
over. CD-R and CD-RW discs hold up to 700MB of data.
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs hold up to 4.7 GB of data.
Depending upon the configuration of your LifeBook
notebook, you may have one of the following drives:
■Super-Multi DVD: The Super-Multi DVD drive com-
bines seven recordable formats in a single drive (DVD-
R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R,
and CD-RW), making it the most versatile drive to
date.
■DVD/CD-RW combo: A DVD/CD-RW combo drive
allows you to access movie, software, data, or audio
DVD/CDs, and to write data onto recordable CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
■CD-ROM: A CD-ROM drive allows you to access soft-
ware, data, or audio CDs.
MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE
Super-Multi DVD model only: With the Super-Multi
DVD drive and media player software you can play DVD
movies and music CDs on your LifeBook notebook. The
media player includes controls which allow you to take
full advantage of the features of a DVD movie, as well as
standard features such as fast forward, fast reverse,
pause, etc. With this drive you can also burn onto
recordable DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/RW
discs.
DVD/CD-RW Combo model only: With the combo drive,
you can play DVD movies, read audio CDs, and write
data onto recordable CD-R or CD-RW discs.
CD-ROM model only: With the CD-ROM drive, you can
read software, audio, or data CD discs.
LOADING MEDIA ON YOUR DRIVE
To load a disc into your optical drive:
1. Push and release the eject button on the front of the
optical drive to open the holder tray. The tray will
come out of the LifeBook notebook a short distance.
2. Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily
be placed in the tray.
Media Holder Tray
Media Tray Eject Button
Install your media player software before
first using the DVD, DVD/CD-RW, or CD-
ROM media drives. Refer to the applicable
readme file on the Driver Applications CD-
ROM.
■Do not operate your optical drive
unless your LifeBook notebook is
sitting on a flat surface. Using a drive
when the system is not level may
damage the drive or prevent proper
operation.
■Prolonged use of the optical drive,
such as watching a DVD movie, will
substantially reduce your battery life if
no other power source is attached.
There may be a protective sheet in the tray
from when it was shipped; please make
sure it is removed before operating the
drive.

REMOVING MEDIA

the optical drive. This will stop the drive and the
holder tray will come out of the LifeBook notebook
a short distance.
2. Gently pull the tray out until the disc can easily be
removed from the tray.
3. Carefully remove the media disc from the holder
tray.
4. Gently push the holder tray back in until you

USING THE MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE
Starting a DVD Movie (DVD Models only)
1. Insert the DVD movie into the optical drive of your
notebook. If the CD AutoRun feature activates,
skip Step 2.
2. The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-
RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you
want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g.,
start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you
make a selection, you will receive the same prompt
whenever you insert a disc.
3. Click OK to close the About DVD Player
Performance dialog box and the movie will begin.
Opening the Media Player Control Panel
With most DVD-ROMs, you have the option of altering
how the movie should play and what you wish to view.
You can do this by using the media player control panel
and the mouse.
1. Right-click on the movie screen to open a dropdown
menu for options.
2. Select View, then Player for all the controls available.
This will open the control panel into the bottom of
the screen.
Using the Media Player Control Panel
The media player software allows you to watch the
movie much like a VCR player. You can pause, rewind,
fast-forward and stop the movie at any point.
1. To Pause the movie, click the on-screen button.
2. To Rewind the movie, click the button to rewind
to a specific portion of the movie, or the button
to return to the opening screen.
■You should periodically check the
Fujitsu web site at us.fujitsu.com/
computers for current updated drivers.
■All LifeBook DVD players are set to
play DVD titles with region code
number 1 which is specified for the
North American market. The region
number is a regional restriction code
defined by the DVD Forum acting on
Hollywood requirements. Different
region codes are recorded on video
DVD titles for publication in different
areas of the world. If the regional code
of the DVD player does not match the
regional codes on the titles, then play-
back is impossible.
■You can change the region code on
the DVD player using the Properties
menu of the DVD software. Note,
however, that you can only change
the region code up to four times.
After the fourth change, the last
region code entered becomes perma-
nent, and cannot be changed.
If you have disabled the Auto Insert
Notification Function, you will have to
start the drive from your desktop, since
your LifeBook notebook will not
automatically recognize that media has
been loaded.

Depending upon its configuration, your
system may not have the media player
software pre-installed. If it is not installed,
reference the documentation that
accompanies the media application.
