Status Indicator Panel Status Indicator Panel The Status Indicator displays symbols that correspond with a specific component of your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. These symbols tell you how each of those components are operating. (Figure 2-8) POWER INDICATOR The Power indicator symbol states whether your system is operational. It has several different states, each of which tells you the mode your notebook is in. Steady On: This means that there is power to your LifeBook notebook and that it is ready for use. Flashing: This means that your LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode. Steady Off: This means that your system is either in Save-to-Disk mode, or that your LifeBook notebook has been turned off. If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator will remain on even if your notebook is shut off. The Power indicator will also remain on if you have either adapter connected and are shut down from Windows. AC ADAPTER INDICATOR The AC Adapter indicator states whether your notebook is operating from the AC adapter, the Auto/Airline adapter or the batteries. This icon has two different states that can tell you what power source your LifeBook notebook is using. On: This means that either of the adapters are currently in use. Off: Power is only coming from the batteries, and you do not have an adapter connected. BATTERY LEVEL INDICATORS The two Battery Level indicators state whether or not the primary Lithium ion battery and/or the optional second Lithium ion battery are installed (Battery 1 refers to the primary Lithium ion battery, while Battery 2 refers to the Flexible Bay optional second battery). In addition, this symbol states how much charge is available within each installed battery. The symbol will only be displayed for a battery that is currently installed in your LifeBook note-
book. (Figure 2-9) 76%100% Charging 76%100%

ROM drive. The default setting is the Auto Insert Notifi-
cation function active. The DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM Auto Insert Notification function will periodically check for a DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM installed in the drive, causing the DVD/CD-RW/CD-
ROM Access indicator to flash. The DVD/
CD-RW/CD-ROM Auto Insert Notification function allows your system to automatically start a DVD/CD-RW/CD-
ROM as soon as it is inserted in the drive and the tray is closed. It will begin playing an audio DVD/CD or will start an application if the DVD/CD has an auto-
run file HARD DRIVE OR REMOVABLE MEDIA DRIVE ACCESS INDICATOR The Hard Drive Access indicator states whether your internal hard drive is being accessed.

(surrounded by heavy line) Application Key Cursor Keys Figure 2-10 Keyboard Keyboard USING THE KEYBOARD Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has an integral 84-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 2-10) 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 operating system and function the same as the onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on your pointing device. 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] keys. 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 2-10) WINDOWS KEYS Your LifeBook notebook has two Windows keys, consisting of 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 2-10) 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.

Touchpad pointing device Touchpad Pointing Device Certain E8000 LifeBook notebooks are equipped with an optional Quick Point button for moving the cursor. For more information about Quick Point, see Optional Quick Point Feature on page 16. 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 2-11) An external mouse can be connected to either the USB port on your LifeBook note-
book or the USB or PS/2 ports on the optional port replicator, and used simulta-
neously with the Touchpad. However, if you boot the system with an external mouse connected the Touchpad will be disabled or enabled depending on the specifications in your BIOS settings. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information) 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 2-12) Figure 2-12 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. You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.
(Figure 2-13) Figure 2-13 Double-clicking 15 E Series.book Page 16 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k 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. DRAGGING Dragging means pressing and holding the left button, while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its new location and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger across the Touchpad, and then release your finger. (Figure 2-14) Figure 2-14 Dragging TOUCHPAD CONTROL ADJUSTMENT The Windows Control Panel allows you to customize your Touchpad with selections made from within the Mouse Properties dialog box. SCROLLING Using the Scrolling button allows you to navigate through a document quickly without using the windows scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navi-
gating through on-line pages. To use the Scrolling button, press the crescent shape at the top or bottom of the button to scroll up or down a page. When you have reached the desired section of the page, release the button. (Figure 2-15) Figure 2-15 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. 16 E Series.book Page 17 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM Volume Control Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other. 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 func-
tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]
G e t t i n g t o K n o w Y o u r L i f e B o o k will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing
[F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your notebook. There are 26 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. 17 E Series.book Page 18 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Flexible Bay Eject Lever Flexible Bay Figure 2-16 Flexible Bay Flexible Bay Devices Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay. The Flexible Bay can house an optical drive, a Lithium ion battery, and a weight saver. (Figure 2-16) Your Flexible Bay will have one of the following devices installed. Modular Super-Multi DVD drive: This allows you to access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs and record to DVD, CD, and DVD-RAM discs. Modular DVD/CD-RW combo drive: This allows you to access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs as well as to write to CDs. Modular CD-ROM drive: This allows you to access software, data, or audio CDs. Modular Lithium ion battery: This is a rechargeable battery that can be used to power your LifeBook note-
book when an adapter is not connected. Weight Saver: This is used to fill the bay when no device is needed. REMOVING AND INSTALLING MODULAR DEVICES There are two ways to remove and install modular devices in the Flexible Bay:
Cold-swapping: swapping devices while your LifeBook notebook is powered off. Hot-swapping: swapping devices while your system is active using the Unplug/Eject icon from your taskbar. Note that if the weight saver is installed rather than a modular device, it is not necessary to use BayManager when removing it. You should never leave your Flexible Bay empty when the notebook is in operation. If left empty, dust or foreign matter may accumulate inside the notebook. 18 Cold-swapping To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 2-17) 1. Close any open files. 2. Shut down your LifeBook notebook. 3. Pull out the Flexible Bay eject lever. This will push your device out slightly, allowing you to remove the device. 4.

Application Panel A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the Security/Application Panel that allows you to secure your notebook from unauthorized use. The Security/Applica-
tion Panel also allows you to launch applications with the touch of a button when your system is on. If the security system is activated, upon starting your notebook or resuming from suspend mode the security system requires you to enter a password code using the buttons on the Security/Application Panel. After entering a correct password, your notebook resumes system operation. (Figure 2-18) SETTING UP YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANEL When you receive your LifeBook notebook, the security panel application is pre-installed without any passwords. The following sections provide detailed information on your security panel, and how to set, change or remove passwords. 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 LifeBook notebook.
(Figure 2-18) PASSWORDS The user and supervisor password may be set on this notebook. A supervisor password is typically the same for all LifeBook notebooks in a working group, office, or company to allow for system management. Individual LifeBook notebooks in a group environment should not 20 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 simulta-
neously. The following are valid button strokes:
n Pushing [4] by itself n Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time n Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time n Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time The following are valid passwords. The numbers within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one button. n {[2]+[3]}, [1], [enter]
n [4], [enter]
n {[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [enter]
Setting Passwords When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting a supervisor and user password. You must set the super-
visor password before the user password. n The purpose of supervisor password is to be able to bypass the user password in case the user password is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not lock the system. n You have to set both the supervisor and user passwords for the security panel to work. Setting Supervisor Password You must have set a supervisor password before setting any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass the user password. 1. Go to the Start menu. 2. Click on Run. E Series.book Page 21 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM 3. Type in:

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the Supervisor password. Setting User Password 1 Go to the Start menu. 2. Click on Programs. 3. Click on Security Panel Application and Set User Password. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the user password. You may change or remove the supervisor or user password by repeating the steps defined above. OPERATING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY/
APPLICATION PANEL The security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off or suspend state. You always need to push the Suspend /Resume button to input the user pass-
word. Your system will not begin the boot sequence without entering your supervisor/user password. From Off State 1. Turn on your system. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-
word and press Enter button. For example, if the password is 22222, Press Button Number 2 five times and press Enter button. The LifeBook notebook will boot to normal opera-
tion. From Suspend State 1. Press your Power/Suspend/Resume button. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-
word and press Enter button. The notebook should resume normal operation. Incorrect Password Entry If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will beep for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute
(while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the note-
book will resume normal operation. If no password (or an invalid one) is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (suspend or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reacti-
G e t t i n g t o K n o w Y o u r L i f e B o o k vate the notebook after a password failure, you must press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password. Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The super-visor password can override the user password. PRECAUTIONS Opening and Closing the Cover Closing the cover automatically places the notebook into suspend mode. Opening the cover does not automati-
cally place the notebook into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button. Low Battery Operations If your LifeBook notebook has low battery, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button only turns on the Secu-
rity Indicator. Your notebook does not unlock, the Secu-
rity Indicator turns off after one minute. To resume normal operation, first attach a power supply to the notebook. Then you may unlock the notebook. UNINSTALLING THE SECURITY PANEL APPLICATION You have two options when uninstalling the security panel application:
n Uninstall the security panel application software. This will disable all security feature. n Uninstall the security panel application with password still active. This will not allow any changes to the password. Uninstalling the Security Panel Application Software Remove passwords when User wants no password protection whatsoever and doesnt want to give anybody the utility to set a password on their computer. In this case, if passwords (supervisor, user, or both) are set, the passwords must first be cleared BEFORE removing the application. To clear passwords, follow same procedure in SETTING PASSWORD CODES except this time, select REMOVE, enter current password then click Next. When asked to confirm select Yes. 21 E Series.book Page 22 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Removing Security Panel Application with Passwords Still Active Using this feature will not allow any changes to the password.

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 notebooks 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. 32 Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition. Your notebooks 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. E Series.book Page 33 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your LifeBook notebooks 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) G e t t i n g S t a r t e d 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. 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. 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. 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 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. 33 E Series.book Page 34 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k 34 E Series.book Page 35 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM 4 User-Installable Features 35 E Series.book Page 36 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k 36 E Series.book Page 37 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM 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 5C or a high of 35C. 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 12 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. 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) U s e r I n s t a l l a b l e F e a t u r e s 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. Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel. 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) Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-
ROM accesses may prevent charging completely. 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. 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. 37 Hot-swapping Batteries To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1) 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. 1. Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet. Latch Release Battery Bay Release Latch Battery Pack Lift Slot Figure 4-1. Removing a Battery 2. Follow steps 3 through 5 in Cold Swapping Batteries. If the Lithium ion battery connector is not fully seated, you may not be able to use your notebook or charge your battery. E Series.book Page 38 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM 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-
9 on page 11) 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:
Cold-swapping Batteries To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1) 1. Have a charged battery ready to install. 2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter. 3. Unlock the battery bay release latch by pushing the latch release away from the battery pack and sliding the battery bay release latch towards the latch release
(Figure 4-1). 4. Continue to press the latch release button away from the battery pack, and lift the battery out of the bay by inserting a thumbnail under the edge of the battery at the lift slot. 5. Slide a new battery into the bay. 6. Slide the battery bay release latch back to its original position to lock the battery into place. 8. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on. 38 E Series.book Page 39 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM U s e r I n s t a l l a b l e F e a t u r e s Media Eject Button Media Holder Tray 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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. 3. Place the media into the tray, label side up, with the hole in the center of the disc. Snap the disc onto the raised circle in the center of the tray. 4. Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a click. (Figure 4-3) 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.

channel sound sources with realistic surround sound using your conventional stereo headphones. Dolby Headphone is a signal processing system that enables your stereo headphones to realistically portray the sound of a five-speaker playback system. U s e r I n s t a l l a b l e F e a t u r e s an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety. Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will greatly reduce your notebooks battery life. Many movie run-times are longer than your system can support on a single battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety. An additional fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on battery power. If you dont have an additional battery, you may purchase one either online at us.fujitsu.com/computers or by calling 1-877-372-3473. Media discs which do not have the Dolby Surround 5:1 symbol will not support Dolby Headphone. After making changes to the Dolby Headphone feature and clicking OK, wait at least ten seconds before making another change in order to allow the system to stabilize. To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use. 2. Start watching your DVD movie. 3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the media player. To use the Dolby Headphone feature, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the disc in the media player tray. When you do so, WinDVD will start automatically. 2. Click on the Fujitsu logo on the WinDVD control panel. If the disc supports Dolby Surround 5.1, a drop down menu appears. 3. Verify that Dolby headphones is checked on the menu. If you do not want it active, select Disable. USING MEDIA PLAYER ON BATTERY POWER Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when operating the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movies run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a single charged battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in If you do not stop the media player quickly and the LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the LifeBook notebook will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to perform a hard reset and follow the instruction, if any, presented to you before the system will reboot. 4. Power down your LifeBook notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-
charged battery. If you do not have an additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon as you see the low battery warning. 5. Resume your LifeBook notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This is not required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode. 6. Restart your media player, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching. 7. Continue watching your DVD movie. Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life while operating the optical drive cannot be guaranteed. 41 E Series.book Page 42 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Eject Button Figure 4-4.Loading/Ejecting a 3.5 Floppy Disk External USB Floppy Disk Drive An external USB floppy disk drive is available as an option for your LifeBook notebook.

Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] ->
Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under Computer:. There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that your system uses a video graphics chip which dynami-
cally allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance. Up to 64 MB of memory is dynamically shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). If the total memory displayed is incorrect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. (If the module is properly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see Trouble-

If you can find no reference to the message and its meaning is not clear, contact your support representative for assistance. nnnn Cache SRAM Passed Where nnnn is the amount of system cache in kilobytes success-fully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This can only appear if you have an SRAM PC Card installed.)
*Diskette drive A error or Diskette drive B error Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS Power On Self Test diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined with the proper diskette type in the Setup Utility, (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information) and that the diskette drive is installed correctly. If the disk drive is properly defined and installed, avoid using it and contact your support representative.
*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn Extended memory not working or not configured prop-
erly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module, verify that the module is properly installed. If it is prop-
erly installed, you may want to check your Windows Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory until you can contact your support representative. nnnn Extended RAM Passed Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes successfully tested.
*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative.
*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller Failure (where x = 1-4) The fixed disk is not working or not configured properly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified in your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to check for the hard drive type settings and correct them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message appears when you restart the system, there may be a serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative. 64

Straighten one side of a paper clip and push it gently into the hole. The tray will pop out a short distance. MODEM RESULT CODES The operating system and application software that is factory installed detects the modem characteristics and provides the necessary command strings to operate the modem. The internal modem operation is controlled by generic AT commands from the operating system and application software. The standard long form result codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The operating system and application software may suppress display of the result codes. Examples of result codes are:
OK NO CARRIER NO DIALTONE CONNECT 53000 (Connection complete at 53,000 bps.) ERROR FAX RING (This means an incoming call.) BUSY NO ANSWER When using the internal modem with applications that are not factory installed refer to the application documentation. 65 E Series.book Page 66 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k RESTORING YOUR PRE-INSTALLED SOFTWARE The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) CD contains:
Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your LifeBook note-
book configuration for use as documented below. A link to the Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) utility on your hard disk drive. Read-me files that provide additional use information for items on this CD-ROM. If the DAR CD is in the drive when you boot up the system, a message will appear informing you that continuing to boot from the CD will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files, and restore the hard drive to its factory configuration. If you wish to install drivers or applications only from the CD, remove the disk from the drive, reboot the system, and insert the CD after Windows has started. If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu Support web site at us.fujitsu.com/
computers to check for the most current information, drivers and hints on how to perform recovery and system updates. DRIVE IMAGE SPECIAL EDITION (DISE) PowerQuest Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) provides a way to restore your computer if you experi-
ence a hard disk crash or other system failure. Fujitsu has used DISE to create an image of everything installed on the computer at the time you purchased it. The image is saved on a separate partition on the hard disk. You can use DISE to restore the factory image and return your computer to the state in which it was shipped from Fujitsu. Although it is not necessary, you can use DISE to store additional image files that you create. For example, if you install several applications and save data files on your hard disk, you can create a new image file that includes them and then save that image file on the hard disk. Then, in the event of a hard disk failure, you can restore the image that includes the applications and data files you use. Using the DISE feature will reduce the amount of usable disk space on your hard disk drive. 66 Creating a Backup Image You can create a backup image of your C:\ drive at any time. The C:\ partition must be a FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition, and it must be directly before the backup partition on your hard disk. There are two ways to implement the DISE utility: When booting up the system, or from the desktop. Creating a backup image when booting up Before creating a backup image at boot-up, you must first change the boot-up priority in the BIOS so that the system will go to the CD drive first, rather than trying to boot-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive. To change the boot-up priority:
1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup Utility. 2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu. 3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu and press [Enter]. 4. Arrow down to the CD-ROM drive in the list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move the CD-
ROM drive to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot from the devices in the order in which they are listed.) 5. Press [F10], then click on [Yes] to exit the BIOS Setup Utility and return to the boot process. After you have changed the boot priority, you can create a backup image when you are booting up:
1. Install the DAR CD in the drive prior to booting up. When bootup begins, a message will appear informing you that continuing to boot from the CD will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files, and restore the hard drive to its factory configuration. 2. When you are asked if you want to restore the factory image, click [Y]es. Creating a backup image from the desktop To create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary to create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD performs the same function. 1. At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen, click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a warning that it must go to DOS to create the image. 3. Click Yes. DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If you created a backup image previously, the new image overwrites the old one. E Series.book Page 67 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM Enlarging the Backup Partition If there is not enough unused space in the backup parti-
tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition. DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom-
mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the size you want. DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough unused space in that partition to take, you will not be able to resize the backup partition and create an image file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition to create more unused space on the hard disk. Restoring a Backup Image You can restore either a factory image or a backup image you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image you restore. 1. Disable virus protection software. If virus protection software is enabled, DISE will hang. 2. From the DISE main window, click Options >
Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore the factory image. DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file. Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec-
tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted. To re-install drivers and/or applications:
1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after Windows has started. The LifeBook Easy Installation screen appears. T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING DRIVER UPDATES Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to check for new updates for your system. The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to
[Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver Update; this will create the icon automatically. To invoke the FDU menu, you can either right-click on the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a couple of seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the following items:
Check for updates now Allows for manual driver update search. The first time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU auto-
matically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for updates and downloads them. While downloading, the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it cannot be used while the download is in process. When the update is complete, a message appears informing you of the fact. Enable Automatic Update Notifications Automatically searches for new updates on a regular basis (approximately every 3 days). Show update history Brings up a screen that displays a history of updates that have been made via the FDU. 2. Select the drivers and applications you want to About Fujitsu Driver Update install from the list that is displayed. 3. Click [Start]. Follow the prompts that appear to complete installation of the selected drivers and/or applications. Displays the FDU version number and copyright information Fujitsu Driver Update Readme Displays the FDU readme. 67 E Series.book Page 68 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k 68 E Series.book Page 69 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM 6 Care and Maintenance 69 E Series.book Page 70 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k 70 E Series.book Page 71 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM Care and Maintenance If you use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook carefully, you will increase its life and reliability. This section provides some tips for looking after the notebook and its devices. Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operations of this product or simi-
lar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical products and do not permit them to handle any cables. Caring for your LifeBook notebook Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive elec-
tronic device. Treat it with respect and care. Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying case. C a r e a n d M a i n t e n a n c e Cleaning your LifeBook notebook Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not the cord.) Clean your LifeBook notebook with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen. Never use glass cleaners. Storing your LifeBook notebook If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn your LifeBook notebook off, fully charge the battery(s), then remove and store all Lithium ion batter-
ies. Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you store your LifeBook with a battery installed, the battery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addi-
tion, a faulty battery might damage your LifeBook. Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Store your Fujitsu LifeBook in a cool, dry location. Always follow installation instructions closely. Keep it away from food and beverages. If you accidentally spill liquid on your LifeBook note-
book:
1. Turn it off. 2. Position it so that the liquid can run out. 3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed. 4. If your notebook will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative. Do not use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook in a wet environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool). Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for your notebook. Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental hazards. Do not expose your notebook to direct sunlight for long periods of time as temperatures above 140 F (60 C) may damage your notebook. Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots when they are not in use. Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer. If you are carrying your LifeBook notebook in a brief-
case, or any other carrying case, make sure that there are no objects in the case pressing on the lid. Never position your notebook such that the optical drive is supporting the weight of the notebook. Do not drop your notebook. Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects. Temperatures should remain between 13F (-25C) and 140F (60C). Traveling with your LifeBook notebook Do not transport your notebook while it is turned on. It is recommended that you carry your notebook with you while travelling, rather than checking it in as bag-
gage. Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with your notebook when you travel. If you experience sys-
tem software problems while traveling, you may need it to correct any problems. Never put your notebook through a metal detector. Have your notebook hand-inspected by security per-
sonnel. You can however, put your notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems, place your notebook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possible or have your notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Secu-
rity officials may require you to turn your notebook On. Make sure you have a charged battery on hand. When traveling with the hard drive removed, wrap the drive in a non-conducting materials (cloth or paper). If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive if needed. Never put your hard drive through a metal detector. Have your hard drive hand-inspected by security personnel. You can however, put your hard drive through a properly tuned X-ray machine. Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling over-
seas. Check the following diagram to determine which plug adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent. 71 E Series.book Page 72 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E 8 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Outlet Type Location United States, Canada, parts of Latin America, Mexico, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), most of Europe, parts of Latin America, the Middle East, parts of Africa, Hong Kong, India, most of South Asia United Kingdom, Ireland, Malaysia, Singapore, parts of Africa China, Australia, New Zealand BATTERIES Caring for your Batteries Always handle batteries carefully. Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire. Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery. Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas. Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life. Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it. Increasing Battery Life Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible. If your notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight to recharge the battery. Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable. Set the power management for maximum battery life. Put your notebook in Suspend mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it. Limit your media drive access. 72 Disable the Media Player auto insert notification function. Always use fully charged batteries. Eject PCMCIATM cards when not in use. FLOPPY DISKS AND DRIVES Caring for your Floppy Disks Avoid using the floppy disks in damp and dusty locations. Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic field. Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label. Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature changes.

SMART Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology
(SMART) is an emerging technology that provides near-
G l o s s a r y term failure predictions for hard drives. When SMART is enabled the hard drive monitors pre-determined drive attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If a failure is likely to occur, SMART makes a status report available so that the LifeBook notebook can prompt the user to back up the data on the drive. Natu-
rally not all failures are predictable. SMART predict-
ability is limited to those attributes which the drive can self-monitor. In those cases where SMART can give advance warning, a considerable amount of precious data can be saved. SRAM Static random access memory. A specific technology of making RAM which does not require periodic data refreshing. SSID Service Set Identifier Specifies which network you are joining.

erly setup and configure the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN device, read this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK ) when the WLAN device is operating in IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Divi-
sion Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode. W ireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document T his document is applicable to systems containing one of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are identical. Sections that differ between the two devices have been noted in the text:
Intel PROSet Wireless LAN (WM3B2915ABG)
Atheros Wireless LAN ( WLL4030) If your system is an E8020, your wireless module is the Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is an E8020D, your wireless module is the Atheros wireless LAN. Characteristics of the W LAN Device
T he WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the mainboard of the mobile computer.
It is a dual-band radio that operates in two license-free RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to operate. It operates in the 2.4GH z Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band. Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower and middle bands of the 5GH z Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands.
The Atheros WLAN is capable of three operating modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, wireless LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Insti-
tute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers). T he Intel WLAN is capable of two operating modes, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g. Figure 5-1. Ad Hoc Mode Network
The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b mode.
The maximum communication range indoors is approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that range will increase or decrease depending on factors such as number of walls, reflective material, or inter-
ference from external RF sources.
The WLAN device supports the following encryption methods - WEP, TK IP, and AES encryption. W IRELESS LAN MO DES USING THIS DEVICE Ad Hoc M ode
(See Figure 5-1)
"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. T hat is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authenti-
cation, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network. 96 E Series.book Page 97 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode
(See Figure 5-2) Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network archi-
tecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases. How to Handle This Device The WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Oper-
ating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device. WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS The Intel WLAN device is a dual-mode wireless net-
work card (supports IEEE802.11b/g); the Atheros device supports IEEE802.11a/b/g. The Intel WLAN device operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band; the Atheros WLAN device also operates in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands. The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the max-
imum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than Figure 5-2. Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode Network W I r e l e s s L A N U s e r s G u i d e 80 feet, depending on factors such as access point transmit power, number and density of obstructions, or external RF interference. Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same 2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band. Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz fre-
quency range may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the WLAN device. DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device, 1) the Wireless On/Off Switch and 2) in Windows using the Intel PROSet Software or Atheros Client Utility software. Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off Switch The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and effi-
ciently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off position. (Figure 5-3) Internet ADSL modem, cable modem, or similar Wired LAN Access Point*

Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution Unavailable network connection Incorrect network name (SSID) or network key Ad hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSIDs) and network keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured correctly. SSIDs and WEP key values must be identical on each machine. Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID) and network key to the same values as those of the access point. Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if necessary. For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the following page:Assigning parameters on page 100 Ad hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight. Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: Retry connection after short-
ening the distance to the access point or removing any obstacles for better sight. To check the wave condition, refer to the following page: Confirming the status of the radio waves on page 105. Weak received signal strength and/or link quality The WLAN device has been deactivated or disabled Check if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify Disable Radio is not checked in Network setting window. Refer to Starting Transmis-
sion on page 98. The computer to be connected is turned off Check if the computer to be connected is turned ON. RF interference from Access Points or other wireless networks The use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering device. Wireless network authentication has failed Re-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly typed WEP key, a mis-configured LEAP username, or an incorrectly chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate but not authenticate to the wireless network. Incorrectly configured network settings Recheck the configuration of your network settings. For the method of checking, refer to the following page:Connection to the Network on page 103. Incorrect IP address configuration This only applies to networks using static IP addresses. Please contact your network administrator for the correct settings. 106 E Series.book Page 107 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM Wireless LAN Glossary W I r e l e s s L A N U s e r s G u i d e Ad Hoc Mode MAC address (Media Access Control Address) Ad Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Points. Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to Ad hoc connection on page 96. A MAC address (also called an Ethernet address or IEEE MAC address) is the 48-bit address (typically written as twelve hexadecimal digits, 0 through 9 and A through F, or as six hexadecimal numbers separated by periods or colons, e.g., 0080002012ef, 0:80:0:2:20:ef) which uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet interface. Channel MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) Range of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22 MHz wide channels. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at one time in networks including the Internet. In an envi-
ronment whose maximum size of data is too large to correctly receive data, normal communications can be restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value. A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network. Network key DNS (Domain Name System) A data query service that provides a mechanism with which to translate host names into Internet addresses. IEEE802.11a Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands. IEEE802.11b Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Access point Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and wired network traffic. IP address The logical 32-bit host address defined by the Internet Protocol that uniquely identifies a computer on a network. The IP address is usually expressed in dotted decimal notation. LAN (Local Area Network) A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or data communications network) which is confined to a limited geographical area. Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi-
cation. The personal computer uses the same network key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore, it is necessary to set the same network key as the other side of communication. Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier) When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is performed to avoid interference or data theft. This grouping is performed with Network name (SSID). In order to improve security, the network key is set allowing no communication unless Network name
(SSID) coincides with the network key. Open system authentication Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan-
dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire-
less client before allowing it to associate. PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) A method of allowing the authentication protocol adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used over an Ethernet. Protocol A procedure or rule of delivering data among computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by making all conditions required for communication including the method of data transmission/reception and actions upon communication errors into proce-
dures. 107 E Series.book Page 108 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM L i f e B o o k E S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n F i v e Shared key authentication 802.11 network authentication method in which the AP sends the client device a challenge text packet that the client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no key, authentication will fail and the client will not be allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentica-
tion is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the same chal-
lenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP key. SSID (Service Set Identifier) Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security to the network. Subnet mask TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists of the subnet address and the address of each computer. Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set among computers communicating with each other. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A standard protocol of the Internet. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a set of standards for wire-
less local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. Certified products can use the official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is interoperable with any other product also showing that logo. 108 W I r e l e s s L A N U s e r s G u i d e E Series.book Page 109 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM IP address information IP addressing is much more complicated than can be briefly explained in this document. You are advised to consult with your network administrator for additional information. If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows:
If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the network, set the IP address as follows:
[Obtain an IP address automatically]
A DHCP server is a server that automatically assigns IP addresses to computers or other devices in the network. There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc network. If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in the network, ask the network administrator to check the IP address to be set for the computer. If no access point is found in the network:
An IP address is expressed with four values in the range between 1 and 255. Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren-
theses is a subnet mask.
