Be sure to turn the display in the opposite direction when performing step 2. Display Panel The convertible design of your LifeBook P Series note-

book allows you to open the display fully, rotate it 180 degrees, and lay it face up on the keyboard. This allows you to use the system as a tablet, much as you would a pad of paper. OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL Lift the display cover backwards, being careful not to touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable viewing angle. (Figure 2-10) USING THE SYSTEM AS A TABLET If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform the following steps. Rotate the system display only in the direction indicated in the procedure. Turning the display in the incorrect direction could damage the hinge. In the following step, be sure to position the display perpendicular to the keyboard, otherwise the keyboard or display cover could get scratched. 1. Lift the display until it is perpendicular to the keyboard. (Figure 2-12). 2. When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard, rotate it clockwise (when viewed from the top). Be very careful to rotate it in the direction indicated.

(Figure 2-13). Turn the display 180 degrees so that it is facing backwards. (Figure 2-14) 3. Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard. 16 P Series.book Page 17 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM G e t t i n g t o K n o w Y o u r T a b l e t P C 90o Figure 2-12.

System in tablet configuration ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS Once you have turned on your notebook, you may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more comfortable viewing level. There are three ways to adjust the brightness, keyboard, power management utility, and Fujitsu menu. Using Keyboard to Adjust Brightness Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the system setting (i.e., the settings you make via the func-

tion keys automatically changes the brightness settings in the systems Brightness Control settings).

[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display.

[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the brightness of the display. Using Power Management to Adjust Brightness To adjust brightness with the power management utility, click Start -> Control Panel -> Brightness Control. Set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios. Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust Brightness To adjust brightness using the Fujitsu menu, click on the Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, select Brightness Control. The Brightness Control window will open. Set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios. If using AC power, your brightness setting is set to its highest level by default. If using battery power your brightness settings is set to approximately mid-level by default. The higher the brightness level, the more power the LifeBook P Series notebook will consume and the faster your batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, make sure that the brightness is set as low as possible. 17 P Series.book Page 18 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n T w o Function Keys Back Space Fn Key Start Key Numeric Keypad

(outlined with thick black line) Figure 2-16. Keyboard Application Key Cursor Keys Keyboard USING THE KEYBOARD Your LifeBook P Series notebook has an integral 82-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 2-16) 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] key. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary func-

tions. (Figure 2-16) WINDOWS KEYS Your LifeBook P Series notebook has two Windows keys:

a Start key and an Application key. The Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The Application key func-

tions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional informa-

tion regarding the Windows keys.) (Figure 2-16) CURSOR KEYS The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left, and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the focus (selects the next item up, down, left, or right).

Touchpad pointing device Quick Point Pointing Device/Touch Screen The Quick Point is built into your LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement of the cursor to select items on your display panel. The Quick Point is composed of a cursor control at the center of the keyboard and three buttons on the palm rest of your notebook. The cursor control works the same way a mouse ball does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of your finger, and the more pressure you use, the faster the cursor will move. The left button functions the same as a left mouse button while the right button has the same function as a right mouse button. When used with the cursor control, the middle button allows you to scroll up and down a screen. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used. (Figure 2-19) 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 cursor to the item you wish to select, press the bottom button once, and then imme-

diately release it. (Figure 2-19) 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 and release the left button twice. (Figure 2-20) Figure 2-20 Double-clicking If the interval between clicks is too long, the double-click will not be executed. Parameters for the Quick Point can be adjusted from the Mouse 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. (Figure 2-21) Figure 2-19 Clicking 22 Figure 2-21 Dragging P Series.book Page 23 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM QUICK POINT CONTROL ADJUSTMENT The Windows Control Panel allows you to customize your Quick Point with selections made from within the Mouse Properties dialog box. There are three aspects of Quick Point operation, which you can adjust:

Buttons: This tab lets you set up the buttons for right or left handed operation, in addition to setting up the time interval allowed between clicks in double-click-

ing. Pointers: This tab lets you set up the scheme for the cursor depending on its functionality. Pointer Options: This tab lets you set up a relation between the speed of your finger motion and the speed of the cursor. It also allows you to enable a Pointer Trail for the cursor arrow. TOUCH SCREEN The integrated Touch Screen allows you to use either the included stylus or your fingertip, as a pointing device. Do not use excessive force when tapping or writing on the screen with the stylus or your finger. Use of excessive force could result in damage to the LCD and/or Touch Screen. You can use the stylus to click, double-click, drag items and icons, or to draw like a pen or pencil in applications that support this behavior, such as drawing or painting programs. See the documentation that came with your application for details.

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]

will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing

[F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your notebook. There are twenty-six levels through which the function keys cycle. Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications. Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume controls. Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level. 25 P Series.book Page 26 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n T w o 26 P Series.book Page 27 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM 3 Using Your LifeBook 27 P Series.book Page 28 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n T h r e e 28 P Series.book Page 29 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM G e t t i n g S t a r t e d DC Power Plug DC Output Cable AC Adapter AC Cable Figure 3-1. Connecting the AC Adapter Power Sources Your LifeBook P Series notebook has three possible power sources: a primary Lithium ion battery, an AC adapter or an optional Auto/Airline adapter. CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTERS The AC adapter or optional Auto/Airline adapter provides power for operating your notebook and charging the battery. Connecting the AC Adapter 1.

Initially, you will need to connect either the AC adapter or the Auto/Airline adapter to use your notebook. 29 P Series.book Page 30 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n T h r e e Starting Your LifeBook POWER ON The Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LifeBook P Series notebook from its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your notebook.

(See figure 2-4 on page 9 for location). When you turn on your notebook, be sure you have a power source. This means that a battery is installed and charged, or that a power adapter is connected and has power. Press the Suspend/Resume button to start your system. When you are done working you can either leave your notebook in Standby mode, See Standby Mode on page 32., or you can turn it off. See Power Off on page 34.. When the system display is closed, the Suspend/Resume button is disabled. This feature prevents the system from being accidentally powered up when not in use. When you Power On your notebook, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your notebook will emit an audio warning and/

or an error message will be displayed. See Power On Self Test Messages on page 58. 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. Never turn off your notebook during the Power On Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error message to be displayed when you turn your notebook on the next time. See Power On Self Test Messages on page 58. BOOT SEQUENCE The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your notebooks BIOS. When your notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instruc-

tions 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 30 displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test

(POST). When the boot sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating systems opening screen. The boot sequence is executed when:

You turn on the power to your notebook. You restart your notebook from the Windows Shut Down dialog box. The software initiates a system restart (e.g., when you install a new application). BIOS SETUP UTILITY The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your 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 notebook. 2. Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will open the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with the 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 notebooks BIOS is available online. Please visit our service and support Web site at http://

www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support. Once there, select LifeBook BIOS Guides from the pull-down menu for your notebook series. If you are unsure of your note-

books BIOS number, refer to your packing slip. If your data security settings require it, you may be asked for a password before the BIOS main menu will appear. P Series.book Page 31 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM BOOTING THE SYSTEM We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices 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. Registering Windows with Microsoft In order to ensure that you receive the most benefits from the Windows operating system, it should be registered the first time you use it. After you receive the Windows Welcome screen, you will be prompted to enter registration information in the following order. First of all, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs). After accepting the EULAs, you will be asked if you want to enable the Auto-

matic Updates feature. Acceptance of this feature is recommended because it allows your system to be updated automatically whenever an important change becomes available for your notebook. If you reject the terms of the license agreement you will be asked to review the license agreement for information on returning Windows or to shut down your LifeBook notebook. You cannot use your LifeBook notebook until you have accepted the License Agreement. If you stop the process your notebook will return to the beginning of the Windows Welcome Process, even if you shut your notebook down and start it up again. Several additional windows will appear, prompting you to enter a name and description for your computer, an Administrator password, and a domain name. Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in the infor-

mation as directed. You will then be automatically connected to the Internet, if you have an appropriate connection avail-

able. If an automatic connection is not possible, you will be asked about how you dial out from where you will be using your LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line and plan to register at a later time, you may click the Skip button. Once you are connected to the Internet, you will be asked if you wish to continue with the registration. If you select Yes you will then enter your name and address, and email address if desired. Click Next to complete registration. G e t t i n g S t a r t e d REGISTERING YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK How do I register my LifeBook notebook?

You can register your LifeBook by going to our Web site:

http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support You will need to be set up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to register online. ClickMe!

INSTALLING CLICK ME!

The first time you boot up your system, you will see an icon called Click Me! in the Start menu. When you click the Click Me! icon, your system will automatically build the icon tray in the bottom right of the screen. These icons provide links to utilities that you will frequently access. 31 P Series.book Page 32 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n T h r e e Power Management Your LifeBook P Series 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 notebook battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your notebook into Standby 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 Mode Fully On Mode Standby Mode

(Suspend-to-RAM) Hibernation Mode

(Suspend-to-Disk) Power Off System Activity Events causing system to enter mode state System is running. CPU, system bus, and all other interfaces operate at full speed. Resume system logic remains powered and RAM remains powered to maintain active data. All other devices are turned off. From Standby mode: System operation resumed

(Suspend/Resume button pressed, resume on modem ring, resume on time). From Hibernation mode: Suspend/Resume button pressed. From Off mode: Suspend/Resume button pressed. Standby timeout occurs. Suspend request issued by software or by pressing the Suspend/Resume button. Low battery. Windows saves desktop state (including open files and documents) to hard disk. CPU stops. All other devices are turned off. Suspend timeout occurs. Clicking Start -> Shut Down -> Hibernate

(It may be necessary to Enable Hibernate Support from Windows Power Options.) System is fully powered off except for logic components required for Suspend/

Resume button and real-time clock operation. Low battery condition System shutdown. Low battery condition Table 3-1. System Power States SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON When your notebook is active, the Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put your notebook into Standby mode. Push the 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 Standby mode. (See figure 2-6 on page 11 for location). If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Suspend/

Resume button will return your notebook to active oper-

ation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Standby mode by looking at the Power indicator. See on page 14. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook is in Standby mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernate mode (See Hibernate Mode) 32 STANDBY MODE Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your 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 Standby mode by:

Pressing the 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. Closing the system cover. Your notebooks system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open application(s) information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation P Series.book Page 33 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM from Standby mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. To resume operation, you must use the 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 notebook on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your notebook is in Standby mode, though not as fast as when fully operational. HIBERNATE MODE The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your notebooks system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. Your notebook is pre-

configured to perform this function. The Hibernate mode can also be configured through the system BIOS to run in other ways depending on what you need to accomplish. See BIOS Setup Utility on page 30. Standby or Hibernate modes should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information. Disabling the Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put your notebook in Standby or Hibernate mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled. If your notebook is actively accessing information when you enter Standby or Hibernate mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Standby mode or the memory is transferred to the hard drive during Hibernate mode. When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all peripheral devices will be re-

initialized when the system restarts. The main advantage of using Hibernate mode is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is very impor-

tant if you will be leaving your notebook in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernate mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices. G e t t i n g S t a r t e d Using Hibernate Mode Hibernate default setting is enabled for Windows XP. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these easy steps:

1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel -> Power Options. 2. Select the Hibernate tab and then select the box to enable or disable this feature. To use Hibernate mode with your system:

1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel -> Power Options. 2. Select the Power Schemes tab and in the System hibernates boxes, select the amount of time you want to elapse until the system goes into hibernation

(when plugged in and when running on battery power). 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 Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows Power Management. 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 Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows. WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters. RESTARTING THE SYSTEM If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure. 1. Click the Start button, and then click Turn Off Computer. 2. Select the Restart button from within the Turn Off Computer window. 33 P Series.book Page 34 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n T h r e e Turning off your notebook without exiting Windows or turning on your notebook within 10 seconds of the notebook being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time. POWER OFF Before turning off the power by choosing Turn Off Computer from the Windows Start menu, check that the Hard Drive access indicator is off. (See Figure 2-9 on page 14) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down proce-

dure. Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its opera-

tions and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

1. Click the Start button, and then click Turn Off Computer. 2. Select the Turn Off option from within the window. If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more, see the Care and Maintenance section. 34

book when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemi-

cals or other hazards. The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

When used at temperatures lower than 41 F (5 C) or higher than 95 F (35 C). Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range. See on page 14. When using a high current device such as a modem, CD-ROM drive, or hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life. Do not leave a faulty battery in your notebook. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, or your notebook itself. It may also pre-

vent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery. Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by putting them in the trash. Please take care of our environment and dispose of batteries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regarding recycling or disposing of old batteries. If you cannot find this infor-

mation elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu. Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive 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. RECHARGING THE BATTERY If you want to know the condition of the Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes. U s e r - I n s t a l l a b l e F e a t u r e s 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 notebook and connect the AC or Auto/

Airline adapter. Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the Battery Level indicator icon on the Status Indicator Panel light. 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 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 Standby mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. See Power Management on page 32. Using heavy current devices such as a modem or frequent CD-ROM and PCMCIA powered external device accesses may prevent charging completely. Low Battery State When the battery is running low, the Battery Level indi-

cator will glow red. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. Your notebook will then go into Standby mode to try and protect your data for as long as possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not be lost once the notebook reaches this point. Once the low battery indicator appears you must save all your data and put your notebook into Standby mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery or AC or Auto/Airline Adapter as soon as possible. When you are in Standby mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you remove all power sources while your notebook is in Standby mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost. 37 P Series.book Page 38 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n F o u r 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 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. REPLACING THE BATTERY Your LifeBook P Series notebook comes with one battery pack; you might want to consider purchasing a spare. By keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can immedi-

ately swap with one that is not charged. There are two ways to swap batteries: cold-swapping and hot-swapping. Cold-swapping means swapping batteries when the system has been powered down; hot-swapping is performed when the system is powered by AC power. Cold-swapping batteries To cold-swap batteries in your battery compartment, 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. Lift the display enough to pull the display latch from the slot. 4. Press the battery release latches to open the compartment. 5.

The Suspend/Resume button is disabled from the Advanced submenu of the Power menu of the setup utility. You did not hold the button in long enough. There may be a conflict with the application software. Enable the button from the setup utility. Hold the button longer. This may need to be a few seconds if your application is preventing the CPU from checking for button pushes. Close all applications and try the button again. The system powers up, and displays power-on information, but fails to load the operating system. The boot sequence settings of the setup utility are not compatible with your configuration. Set the operating source by pressing the [F2] key while the Fujitsu logo is on screen, entering the setup utility and adjusting the source settings from the Boot menu. See BIOS Setup Utility on page 30. You have a secured system requiring a password to load your operating system. Make sure you have the right password. Enter the setup utility and verify the Security settings and modify them as accordingly.

Your system display wont turn on when the system is turned on or when the system has resumed. Your notebook appears to change setup parameters when you start it. Power On Self Test (POST) has detected a problem. The system may be password-

protected. BIOS setup changes were not saved when you made them and exited the BIOS setup utility returning it to previous settings. See the Power On Self Test (POST) messages to determine the meaning and severity of the problem. Not all messages are errors; some are simply status indicators. See Power On Self Test Messages on page 58. Check the status indicator panel to verify that the Security icon is blinking. If it is blinking, enter your password. Make sure you select Save Changes And Exit when exiting the BIOS setup utility. The BIOS CMOS back-up battery has failed. Contact your support representative for repairs. This is not a user-serviceable part. Video Problems The built-in display is blank when you turn on your notebook. The angle of the display and the brightness settings are not adequate for your lighting conditions. The optional Port Replicator is attached, an external monitor is plugged in, and the note-

book is set for an external monitor only. The power management timeouts may be set for very short intervals and you failed to notice the display come on and go off again. The notebook turned on with a series of beeps and your built-in display is blank. Power On Self Test (POST) has detected a failure which does not allow the display to operate. Move the display and the brightness control until you have adequate visibility. Pressing [F10] while holding down the [Fn] key allows you to change your selection of where to send your display video. Each time you press the combination of keys you will step to the next choice. The choices, in order are: built-in display only, external monitor only, both built-in display and external monitor. Press any button the keyboard, or move the mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push the Suspend/

Resume button. (The display may be shut off by Standby mode, Auto Suspend or Video Timeout) Contact your support representative. Your system display wont turn on when the system is turned on or when the system has resumed. The display goes blank by itself after you have been using it. The system may be password-

protected. Check the status indicator panel to verify that the Security icon is blinking. If it is blinking, enter your password. The notebook has gone into Video Timeout, Standby Mode, or Hibernate Mode because you have not used it for a period of time. Press a button on the keyboard, or move the mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push the Suspend/

Resume button. Check your power management settings, or close your applications and go to the Power Savings menu of the setup utility to adjust the timeout values to better suit your operation needs. See BIOS Setup Utility on page 30. 56 P Series.book Page 57 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g Problem Possible Cause Possible Solutions The display goes blank by itself after you have been using it.

(continued) The display does not close. The display has bright or dark spots. The application display uses only a portion of your screen and is surrounded by a dark frame. The power management time-

outs may be set for very short intervals and you failed to notice the display come on and go off again. A foreign object, such as a paper clip, is stuck between the display and the keyboard. If the spots are very tiny and few in number, this is normal for a large LCD display. If the spots are numerous or large enough to interfere with your operation needs. You are running an application that does not support 800 x 600/1024 x 768 pixel resolution display and display compres-

sion is enabled. You have connected an external monitor and it does not display any information. Your BIOS setup is not set to enable your external monitor. Press any button on the keyboard, or move the mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push the Suspend/

Resume button. (The display may be shut off by Standby Mode, Auto Suspend or Video Timeout) Remove all foreign objects from the keyboard. This is normal; do nothing. The display needs technical diagnosis; contact your support representative. When compensation is disabled, a clearer but smaller display for applications that do not support 800 x 600/1024 x 768 pixel resolution will result. You can fill the screen but have less resolution by changing your compensation setting. (See the Video Features submenu, located within the Advanced menu of the BIOS. See BIOS Setup Utility on page 30. Try toggling the video destination by pressing [Fn]

and [F10] together, or check your BIOS setup and enable your external monitor. (See the Video Features submenu, located within the Advanced Menu of the BIOS. See BIOS Setup Utility on page 30. Your external monitor is not properly installed. Reinstall your device. See External Video Port on page 47. Your operating system soft-

ware is not set up with the correct software driver for that device. Check your device and operating system documentation and activate the proper driver. You have connected an external monitor and it does not come on. Your external monitor may not be compatible with your note-

book. See your monitor documentation and the External Monitor Support portions of the Specifications section. See Specifications on page 71. Miscellaneous Problems An error message is displayed on the screen during the operation of an application. Application software often has its own set of error message displays. See your application manual and help displays screens for more information. Not all messages are errors some may simply be status. 57 P Series.book Page 58 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P 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 POWER ON SELF TEST MESSAGES The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-status messages that Phoenix BIOS and/or your operating system can generate and an explanation of each message. Error messages are marked with an *. If an error message is displayed that is not in this list, write it down and check your operating system documentation both on screen and in the manual. 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 successfully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This can only appear if you have an SRAM PC Card installed.)

*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.

*Keyboard controller error The keyboard controller test failed. You may have to replace your keyboard or keyboard controller but may be able to use an external keyboard until then. Contact your support representative.

*Keyboard error Keyboard not working. You may have to replace your keyboard or keyboard controller but may be able to use an external keyboard until then. Contact your support representative.

*Keyboard error nn BIOS discovered a stuck key and displays the scan code for the stuck key. You may have to replace your keyboard but may be able to use an external keyboard until then. Contact your support representative.

*Operating system not found Operating system cannot be located on either drive A: or drive C: Enter the setup utility and see if both the fixed disk, and drive A: are properly identified and that the boot sequence is set correctly. Unless you have changed your installation greatly, the operating system should be on drive C:. If the setup utility is correctly set, your hard drive may be corrupted and your system may have to be re-installed from your back up media.

*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.

*Parity Check 1 nnnn Parity error found in the system bus. BIOS attempts to locate the address and display it on the screen. If it cannot locate the address, it displays ????. This is a potentially data destroying failure. 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.

*Invalid NVRAM media type Problem with NVRAM access. In the unlikely case that you see this message you may have some display prob-

lems. You can continue operating but should contact your support representative for more information.

BUSY NO ANSWER When using the internal modem with applications that are not factory installed refer to the application documentation. 59 P Series.book Page 60 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P 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 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 notebook configuration for use as documented below. If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu Support web site at http://

www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support to check for the most current information, drivers and hints on how to perform recovery and system updates. See Automatically Downloading Driver Updates on page 61. Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications The Drivers and Applications CD can be used to selec-

tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted. There may be certain free third-party applications pre-installed on your system that are not on the DAR CD. The latest versions of the applications can be downloaded from the third-partys website. To re-install drivers and/or applications:

1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR CD after Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is displayed after the CD is inserted. 2. After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree]. 3. A window will appear containing a list of applica-

tions, drivers, and utilities that you can install from the Drivers and Applications CD. The components listed are color-coded in terms of their install status. Blue indicates that the component can be installed. Green indicates that the component needs to be installed separately. Grey indicates a component that is already installed; grey items can be reinstalled, but prior to installation you will receive a reminder that the component is already installed. 4. In the list, check off all the components you want to install. If you want to install all components, click

[Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the blue-coded components; you must select grey and green components separately. 60 5. Once you have selected the components you wish to install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the components will be installed. 6. After the components are installed, click [OK], then click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the system. RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE The Restore Disc that came with your system contains two utilities:

The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original contents of the C: drive. The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.

The use of this disc requires that you have a device capable of reading CDs attached to your system. If you do not have a built-in CD player, you will need to attach an external player. For more information on available external devices, visit our Web site at:

www.shopfujitsu.com.

This disc can only be used with the system with which it was purchased. BOOT Priority Change Before restoring an image, you must first verify that your system is set up to boot from the CD drive. To verify/

change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive), perform the following steps:

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. Press [Enter]. If Optical Media Drive or CD-ROM Drive is not at the top of the list, arrow down to the drive in the list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move it to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot from the devices in the order in which they are listed.). Note that the BIOS for some systems will indicate CD-ROM Drive, even when a DVD drive is connected. If you have an external drive connected, proceed to step 6; otherwise, proceed to step 7. If you have an external drive connected:

nally to it. Insert the Restore Disc into the drive tray. Reboot your system. 3. 4. 5. After the system reboots, follow the instructions that appear to either restore your system image or erase all data from your hard disk. 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, right-click on the FDU icon. 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).

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 similar 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. LIFEBOOK P SERIES NOTEBOOK Caring for your LifeBook Your notebook is a durable but sensitive electronic device. Treat it with care. Do not use excessive force when tapping or writing on the screen with the stylus or your finger. Use of excessive force could result in damage to the LCD and/or Touch Screen. Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying case. To protect your notebook from damage and to opti-

mize system performance, be sure to keep all air all vents unobstructed, clean, and clear of debris. This may require periodic cleaning, depending upon the environment in which the system is used. Do not operate the notebook in areas where the air vents can be obstructed, such as in tight enclosures or on soft surfaces like a bed or cushion. Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Any unauthorized service performed on the computer will void the warranty. Always follow installation instructions closely. Keep it away from food and beverages. If you accidentally spill liquid on your notebook:

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. If your notebook will not boot after it has dried 4. out, call your support representative. Do not use your 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. C a r e a n d M a i n t e n a n c e 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 notebook in a briefcase, or any other carrying case, make sure that there are no objects in the case pressing on the lid. Do not drop your notebook. Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects. Cleaning your LifeBook Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not the cord.) Clean your 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 If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn the notebook off, fully charge the battery, then remove and store all Lithium ion batteries. Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you store your notebook with a battery installed, the bat-

tery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addition, a faulty battery might damage the notebook. Store your notebook in a cool, dry location. Temperatures should remain between 13 F (-25 C) and 140 F (60 C). Traveling with your LifeBook Do not transport your notebook while it is turned on. Do not check your notebook as baggage. Carry it with you. 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 overseas. Check the following diagram to determine which adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent. 65 P Series.book Page 66 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n S i x Outlet Type Location United States, Canada, Mexico, parts of Latin America, 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 Figure 6-1. Outlet types KEYBOARD Caring for your Keyboard The keyboard of your computer is a very sensitive instrument. It is made up of many switches that are activated when you press on the keys. The keyboard is a major component of the heat dissipation system in a notebook. Due to heat and size considerations the keyboard is not sealed. Because the keys are so close together, it is not easy for the user to see when liquids have fallen onto the circuitry below the keys. Attempting to clean the keyboard with a spray on cleaner or rag soaked with cleaner the liquid can drip onto the circuitry sight unseen. Once the liquid seeps between the layers of circuitry, it can cause corrosion or other damage to the circuits. This can result in keys which no longer operate, or which, when pressed, record the wrong characters and other similar failures. There is no repair for this problem other than replace-

ment. The solution is to become aware of the issue and take appropriate steps to protect your keyboard. To clean the keyboard, use a rag dampened slightly with cleaning solution. Use extreme care to prevent liquid from dripping between the keys. Spraying directly on the keys should be avoided. The spray should be applied first to the cloth, and then the cloth wiped over the keys. 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 66 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 six months without recharging it. Increasing Battery Life Keep brightness to the lowest comfortable level. Set the power management for maximum battery life. Put your notebook in Standby mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it. Disable the Windows CD auto insert function. Always use fully charged batteries. OPTIONAL FLOPPY DISK DRIVE AND FLOPPY DISKS Caring for your Floppy Disks Avoid using 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. Store at temperatures between 50 F (10 C) and 125 F (52 C). Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the metal shutter. Caring for your Optional Floppy Disk Drive To clean, wipe the floppy disk drive clean with a dry soft cloth, or with a soft cloth dampened with water or a solution of neutral detergent. Never use benzene, paint thinner or other volatile material. Avoid storing the floppy disk drive in extremely hot or cold locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature changes. Store at temperatures between 50 F (10 C) and 125 F (52 C). Keep the floppy disk drive out of direct sunlight and away from heating equipment. Avoid storing the floppy disk drive in locations subject to shock and vibration. Never use the floppy disk drive with any liquid, metal, or other foreign matter inside the drive or disk. Never disassemble or dismantle your floppy disk drive. P Series.book Page 67 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM OPTIONAL OPTICAL DRIVE AND DISCS Caring for your discs CDs and DVD discs are precision devices and will func-

tion reliably if given reasonable care. Always store your discs in their case when not in use. Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the surface. Avoid storing any discs in extreme temperatures. Do not bend discs or set heavy objects on them. Do not spill liquids on discs. Do not scratch discs. Do not put a label on discs. Do not get dust on discs. Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen. If a disc is subjected to a sudden change in tempera-

ture, cold to warm condensation may form on the sur-

face. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or heater to dry discs. If a disc is dirty, use only a disc cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping to the outer edge. C a r e a n d M a i n t e n a n c e Caring for your Optional Optical Drive Your optical drive is durable but you must treat it with care. Please pay attention to the following points:

The drive rotates the compact disk at a very high speed. Do not carry it around or subject it to shock or vibration with the power on. Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be exposed to extreme temperatures. Avoid using or storing the drive where it is damp or dusty. Use of a commercially-available lens cleaner kit is recommended to maintain the drive lens. Avoid using or storing the drive near magnets or devices that generate strong magnetic fields. Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be subjected to shock or vibration. Do not disassemble or dismantle the optical drive. CF CARDS Caring for your CF Cards CF Cards are durable, but you must treat them with care. The documentation supplied with your CF Cards provides specific information for caring for the cards. When you dont have a CF Card installed in your system, you should be sure to install the CF Card slot inserts that came with your system. These will help to keep dust and dirt out of your system. 67 P Series.book Page 68 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n S i x 68 P Series.book Page 69 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM 7 Specifications 69 P Series.book Page 70 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - S e c t i o n S e v e n 70 P Series.book Page 71 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM S p e c i f i c a t i o n s Specifications This section provides the hardware and environmental specifications for your LifeBook P Series notebook.

Network authentication The method of authentication performed by wireless LAN clients to connect with the access point. There are two types: open system authentication and shared key authentication. The type of authentication must be set to each client and also coincide with the setting of access point with which to communicate. Network authentica-

tion is sometimes called authentication mode. Network key 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. NTSC National TV Standards Commission. The standard for TV broadcast and reception for the USA. Open system authentication One of network authentication types for wireless LAN. Since there is no check of network key upon authentica-

tion, clients can connect to the access point without submitting correct network keys. However, in case of 80 actual communications, the same network key must be set. Open system authentication is sometimes called Open key authentication. Operating System A group of control programs that convert application commands, including driver programs, into the exact form required by a specific brand and model of micro-

processor in order to produce the desired results from that particular equipment. Partition A block of space on a hard drive which is set aside and made to appear to the operating system as if it were a separate disk, and addressed by the operating system accordingly.

mation is stored by physically altering the material. Data stored in this way can not be changed by your notebook and does not require power to maintain it. SDRAM Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory. Serial Port A connection to another device through which data is transferred one bit at a time on a single wire with any other wires only for control of the device not for transfer of data. Shared key authentication One of the network authentication types for wireless LAN. Upon authentication, the access point checks whether the same network key is set to the client. If the client uses a wrong network key or the network key itself is not set, authentication is unsuccessful, allowing no communications with the access point. SMART Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology

(SMART) is an emerging technology that provides near-

term failure predictions for hard drives. When SMART G l o s s a r y 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 notebook can prompt the user to back up the data on the drive. Naturally not all failures are predictable. SMART predictability 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. Some systems allow you to specify any SSID as an option so you can join any network. Standby To make inoperative for a period of time.

Regulatory Notes and Statements Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions, however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use by consumers because they operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN devices may be restricted in some situations or envi-

ronments, such as:

On board an airplane, or

In an explosive environment, or In situations where the interference risk to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful. In cases in which the policy regarding use of Wireless LAN devices in specific environments is not clear (e.g., airports, hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, private build-

ings), obtain authorization to use these devices prior to operating the equipment. Regulatory Information/Disclaimers Installation and use of this Wireless LAN device must be in strict accordance with the instructions included in the user documentation provided with the product. Any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer may void the users authority to operate the equipment. The manufacturer is not respon-

sible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized modification of this device, or the substitu-

tion or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than those specified by the manufacturer. It is the responsibility of the user to correct any interference caused by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attach-

ment. The manufacturer and its authorized resellers or distributors will assume no liability for any damage or violation of government regulations arising from failure to comply with these guidelines. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunc-

tion with any other antenna or transmitter. For operation within 5.15~5.25 GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environments, and the antenna of the device must be integral. Federal Communications Commission statement This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference, and, (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device. FCC Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-

able protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 2. 3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. different from the one the receiver is connected to. 4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wilreless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high level of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-

level RF exposure have not found any biological effects, Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The wireless LAN radio device has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equip-

ment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The maximum SAR value measured from the devices are:

2.4GHz - band: 0.337 W/kg

5.25GHz - band: 1.171 W/kg

erly setup and configure the optional 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 opera-

tion. Keep this manual in a safe place for future refer-

ence. Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document This document is applicable to systems containing an Atheros AR5006XS (WLL4070) Mini-PCI wireless network card Characteristics of the WLAN Device The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the main board 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 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band. Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower, middle, and upper bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands. The Atheros Super AG WLAN is capable of three oper-

ating modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, wireless LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engi-

neers). 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. 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. Figure A-1. Ad Hoc Mode Network 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, TKIP, CKIP, and AES encryption. WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE Ad Hoc Mode

(See Figure A-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. That 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 (service set identi-

fier), network authentication, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network. Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

(See Figure A-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 with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infra-

structure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases. 86 P Series.book Page 87 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r s G u i d e 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. 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:

WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS The Atheros WLAN device supports IEEE802.11a/b/g and operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz 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 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. Figure A-2. Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode Network Using the Wireless On/Off Switch, or, In Windows, using the 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 A-3) The wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wire-

less LAN models

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. 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 on page 92. Check if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify Disable Radio is not checked in Network setting window. Check if the computer to be connected is turned ON. Weak received signal strength and/or link quality The WLAN device has been deactivated or disabled The computer to be connected is turned off 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 misconfigured 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 90. Incorrect IP address configuration This only applies to networks using static IP addresses. Please contact your network administrator for the correct settings. 93 P Series.book Page 94 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - A p p e n d i x A Wireless LAN Glossary GLOSSARY Ad Hoc Mode 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 86. Channel 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) A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network. 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. 94 MAC address (Media Access Control Address) 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. MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) 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. Network key 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: Service 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. W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r s G u i d e P Series.book Page 95 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM 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. 95 P Series.book Page 96 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k P S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - A p p e n d i x A IP address information ABOUT IP ADDRESSES 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, or, 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.

tion shown in the figure below. Figure A-1 Fingerprint sensor With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter a username and password every time you want to:

Log onto Windows Recover from suspend mode Cancel a password-protected screen saver Log into homepages that require a username and pass-

word After you have enrolled - or registered - your finger-

print, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the sensor for the system recognize you. The fingerprint sensor uses Softex OmniPass which provides password management capabilities to Microsoft Windows operating systems. OmniPass enables you to use a "master password" for all Windows, applications, and on-line passwords. OmniPass requires users to authenticate themselves using the fingerprint sensor before granting access to the Windows desktop. This device results in a secure authentication system for restricting access to your computer, applications, web sites, and other password-

protected resources. OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface, through which you can securely manage passwords, users, and multiple identities for each user. GETTING STARTED This section guides you through the preparation of your system for the OmniPass fingerprint recognition application. You will be led through the OmniPass installation process. You will also be led through the procedure of enrolling your first user into OmniPass. F I n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r U s e r s G u i d e INSTALLING OMNIPASS If OmniPass has already been installed on your system, skip this section and go directly to User Enrollment on page 102. You can determine whether OmniPass has already been installed by checking to see if the following are present:

The presence of the gold key-shaped OmniPass icon in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen. The presence of the Softex program group in the Programs group of the Start menu System Requirements The OmniPass application requires space on your hard drive; it also requires specific Operating Systems (OSs). The minimum requirements are as follows:

Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Profes-

sional or Windows 2000 operating system At least 35 MB available hard disk space Installing the OmniPass Application If OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to User Enrollment on page 102. Otherwise continue with this section on software installation. For installation, OmniPass requires that the user installing OmniPass have administrative privileges to the system. If your current user does not have administrative privileges, log out and then log in with an administrator user before proceeding with OmniPass installation. To install OmniPass on your system you must:

1. Insert the installation media for the OmniPass appli-

cation into the appropriate drive. If you are installing from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, you must find and launch the OmniPass installation program

(setup.exe) from the media. 2. Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass installation program. Specify a location to which you would like OmniPass installed. It is recom-

mended that you NOT install OmniPass in the root directory (e.g. C:\). 3. Once OmniPass has completed installation you will be prompted to restart you system. Once your system has rebooted you will be able to use OmniPass. If you choose not to restart immediately after installation, OmniPass will not be available for use until the next reboot. The installation program automatically places an icon

(Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well as a golden key shaped icon in the taskbar. 101 P Series.book Page 102 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k T S e r i e s T a b l e t P C - A p p e n d i x B Verifying Information about OmniPass After you have completed installing OmniPass and restarted your system, you may wish to check the version of OmniPass on your system. To check the version information of OmniPass:

1. From the Windows Desktop, double-click the key-

shaped OmniPass icon in the taskbar (usually located in the lower right corner of the screen), or, Click the Start button, select Settings, and click Control Panel (if you are using Windows XP you will see the Control Panel directly in the Start menu;

click it, then click Switch to Classic View). Double-

click Softex OmniPass in the Control Panel, and the OmniPass Control Center will appear. If it does not appear, then the program is not properly installed, or, Click the Start button, select Programs, and from the submenu select the Softex program group, from that submenu click OmniPass Control Center. 2. Select the About tab at the top of the OmniPass Control Panel. The About tab window appears with version information about OmniPass. Uninstalling OmniPass For uninstallation, OmniPass requires that the user uninstalling OmniPass have administrative privileges to the system. If your current user does not have administrative privileges, log out and then log in with an administrator user before proceeding with OmniPass uninstallation. To remove the OmniPass application from your system:

1. Click Start on the Windows taskbar. Select Settings, and then Control Panel. 2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs. 3. Select OmniPass, and then click Change/Remove. 4. Follow the directions to uninstall the OmniPass application. 5. Once OmniPass has finished uninstalling, reboot your system when prompted. USER ENROLLMENT Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first enroll a user into OmniPass. Master Password Concept Computer resources are often protected with passwords. Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing your email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing network resources, you often have to supply credentials 102 to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of creden-

tials that you have to remember. During OmniPass user enrollment a "master password is created for the enrolled user. This master password replaces all other passwords for sites you register with OmniPass. Example: A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system

(his home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with username John_01 and password freq14. He then goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He inputs his webmail credentials as usual (username John_02 and password tablet), but instead of clicking [Submit], he directs OmniPass to Remember Password. Now whenever he returns to that site, OmniPass will prompt him to supply access credentials. John enters his OmniPass user credentials (John_01 and freq14) in the OmniPass authentication prompt, and he is allowed into his webmail account. He can do this with as many web sites or password protected resources he likes, and he will gain access to all those sites with his OmniPass user credentials (John_01 and freq14). This is assuming he is accessing those sites with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass user. OmniPass does not actually change the credentials of the password protected resource. If John were to go to an Internet cafe to access his webmail, he would need to enter his original webmail credentials (John_02 and tablet) to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass user credentials on a system other than where he enrolled that OmniPass user, he will not gain access. The basic enrollment procedure assumes you have no hardware authentication devices or alternate storage locations that you wish to integrate with OmniPass. If you desire such functionality, consult the appropriate sections after reviewing this section. Basic Enrollment The Enrollment Wizard will guide you through the process of enrolling a user. Unless you specified other-

wise, after OmniPass installation the Enrollment Wizard will launch on Windows login. If you do not see the Enrollment Wizard, you can bring it up by clicking Start on the Windows taskbar; select Programs; select Softex;

click OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. 1. Click Enroll to proceed to username and password verification. By default, the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard enters the credentials of the currently logged in Windows user. 2. Enter the password you use to log in to Windows. This will become the master password for this OmniPass user. In most cases, the Domain: value P Series.book Page 103 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM will be your Windows computer name. In a corpo-

rate environment, or when accessing corporate resources, the Domain: may not be your Windows computer name. Click [Next] to continue. In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint. Refer to Enrolling a Fingerprint on page 103 for additional information. 3. 4. Next, choose how OmniPass notifies you of various events. We recommend you keep Taskbar Tips on Beginner mode taskbar tips and Audio Tips on at least Prompt with system beeps only until you get accustomed to how OmniPass operates. Click [Next]

to proceed with user enrollment. You will then see a Congratulations screen indicating your completion of user enrollment. 5. Click [Done] to exit the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. You will be asked if youd like to log in to OmniPass with your newly enrolled user; click [Yes]. Enrolling a Fingerprint Enrolling a fingerprint will increase the security of your system and streamline the authentication procedure. You enroll fingerprints in the OmniPass Control Center. With an OmniPass user logged in, double-click the system tray OmniPass icon. Select the User Settings tab and click Enrollment under the User Settings area. Click Enroll Authentication Device and authenticate at the authentication prompt to start device enrollment. 1. During initial user enrollment, you will be prompted to select the finger you wish to enroll. Fingers that have already been enrolled will be marked by a green check. The finger you select to enroll at this time will be marked by a red arrow. OmniPass will allow you re-enroll a finger. If you choose a finger that has already been enrolled and continue enrollment, OmniPass will enroll the fingerprint, overwriting the old fingerprint. Select a finger to enroll and click [Next]. It is now time for OmniPass to capture your selected fingerprint. It may take a several capture attempts before OmniPass acquires your fingerprint. Should OmniPass fail to acquire your fingerprint, or if the capture screen times out, click [Back] to restart the fingerprint enrollment process. 2. Your system has a swipe fingerprint sensor. A swipe sensor is small and resembles a skinny elon-

gated rectangle. To capture a fingerprint, gently swipe or pull your fingertip over the sensor (starting at the second knuckle) towards yourself. Swiping too fast or too slow will result in a failed capture. The Choose Finger screen has a [Practice] button; click it to practice capturing your fingerprint. When you are comfortable with how your fingerprint is captured, proceed to enroll a finger. F I n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r U s e r s G u i d e 3. Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the finger-

print, the Verify Fingerprint screen will automati-

cally appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint, place your fingertip on the sensor and hold it there as if you were having a fingerprint captured. Successful fingerprint verification will show a green fingerprint in the capture window and the text Veri-

fication Successful under the capture window. USING OMNIPASS You are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regularly, OmniPass will streamline your authentication procedures. Password Replacement You will often use the password replacement function. When you go to a restricted access website (e.g., your bank, your web-based email, online auction or payment sites), you are always prompted to enter your login credentials. OmniPass can detect these prompts and you can teach OmniPass your login credentials. The next time you go to that website, you can authenticate with your fingerprint to gain access. OmniPass Authentication Toolbar After installing OmniPass and restarting, you will notice a dialog you have not seen before at Windows Logon. This is the OmniPass Authentication Toolbar, and it is displayed whenever the OmniPass authentication system is invoked. The OmniPass authentication system may be invoked frequently: during Windows Logon, during OmniPass Logon, when unlocking your workstation, when resuming from standby or hibernate, when unlocking a password-enabled screensaver, during pass-

word replacement for remembered site or application logins, and more. When you see this toolbar, OmniPass is prompting you to authenticate. The Logon Authentication window indicates what OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting. The icons in the lower left (fingerprint and key) show what authentication methods are available to you. Selected authentication methods are highlighted while unselected methods are not. When you click the icon for an unse-

lected authentication method, the authentication prompt associated with that method is displayed. When prompted to authenticate, you must supply the appropriate credentials: an enrolled finger for the finger-

print capture window or your master password for the master password prompt (the key icon). Remembering a Password OmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or pass-

word protected resource that has a password prompt. Using the following procedure, you can store a set of credentials into OmniPass. These credentials will then be linked to your master password or fingerprint. 103 P Series.book Page 104 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k T S e r i e s T a b l e t P C - A p p e n d i x B Go to a site that requires a login (username and pass-

word), but do not log in yet. At the site login prompt, enter your username and password in the prompted fields, but do not enter the site (do not hit [Enter],

[Submit], [OK], or Login). Right-click the OmniPass system tray icon and select Remember Password from the submenu. The Windows arrow cursor will change to a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click this OmniPass cursor in the login prompt area, but do not click the

[Login] or [Submit] button. Associating a Friendly Name After clicking the OmniPass key cursor near the login prompt, OmniPass will prompt you to enter a friendly name for this site. You should enter something that reminds you of the website, the company, or the service you are logging into. In its secure database, OmniPass associates this friendly name with this website. Additional Settings for Remembering a Site When OmniPass prompts you to enter a friendly name you also have the opportunity to set how OmniPass authenticates you to this site. There are three effective settings for how OmniPass handles a remembered site. The default setting is Automatically click the OK or Submit button for this password protected site once the user is authenticated. With this setting, each time you navigate to this site OmniPass will prompt you for your master password or fingerprint authentication device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass, you will automatically be logged into the site. Less secure is the option to Automatically enter this password protected site when it is activated. Do not prompt for authentication. Check the upper box to get this setting, and each time you navigate to this site OmniPass will log you into the site without prompting you to authenticate. This setting is more convenient in that whenever you go to a site remembered with this setting, you will bypass any authentication procedure and gain instant access to the site. But should you leave your system unattended with your OmniPass user logged in, anyone using your system can browse to your password protected sites and gain automatic access. If you uncheck both boxes in Settings for this Password Site, OmniPass will prompt you for your master pass-

word or fingerprint authentication device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass your credentials will be filled in to the site login prompt, but you will have to click the website [OK], [Submit], or [Login] button to gain access to the site. 104 Click Finish to complete the remember password proce-

dure. The site location, the credentials to access the site, and the OmniPass authentication settings for the site are now stored in the OmniPass secure database. The OmniPass authentication settings (Settings for this Pass-

word Site) can always be changed in Vault Management. Logging in to a Remembered Site Whether or not OmniPass prompts you to authenticate when you return to a remembered site is determined by Settings for this Password Site and can be changed in Vault Management. The following cases are applicable to using OmniPass to login to: Windows, remembered web sites, and all other password protected resources. With Master Password Once you return to a site you have remembered with OmniPass, you may be presented with a master pass-

word prompt. Enter your master password and you will be allowed into the site. Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint Device When logging into Windows with a fingerprint device, the fingerprint capture window will now appear next to the Windows Login screen. Place your enrolled fingertip on the sensor to authenticate. You will be simultaneously logged into Windows and OmniPass. The capture window will also appear if you have used Ctrl-Alt-Del to lock a system, and the fingerprint device can be used to log back in as stated above. If a machine is locked and OmniPass detects a different user logging back in with a fingerprint, the first user will be logged out and the second user logged in. In Windows XP, your login options must be set either for classic login, or for fast user switching and logon screen to be enabled to use your fingerprint to log on to Windows. To change this go to Control Panel, select User Accounts and then click Change the way users log on or off. If your Windows screensaver is password protected, the fingerprint capture window will now appear next to screensaver password dialog during resume. You can authenticate to your screensaver pass-

word prompt with your enrolled finger. Password Management OmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage your passwords. To access this GUI, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Manage-

ment; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you gain access to Vault Management, click Manage Pass-

words under Vault Settings. You will see the Manage Passwords interface, with a list of friendly names. P Series.book Page 105 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM You can view the credentials stored for any remembered website by highlighting the desired resource under Pass-

word Protected Dialog and clicking Unmask Values. Should a password be reset, or an account expire, you can remove stored credentials from OmniPass. Highlight the desired resource under Password Protected Dialog and click Delete Page. You will be prompted to confirm the password deletion. The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or directly logs you into the remembered site. OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an already remembered site. The exception to the above rule is the resetting of your Windows password. If your password is reset in Windows, then the next time you login to Windows, OmniPass will detect the password change and prompt you to Update or Reconfirm your password with OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the prompt(s) and click OK and your OmniPass "master password" will still be your Windows password. OmniPass User Identities Identities allow OmniPass users to have multiple accounts to the same site (e.g., bob@biblomail.com and boballen@biblomail.com). If OmniPass did not provide you identities, you would be limited to remembering one account per site. To create and manage identities, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Manage-

ment; OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Once you gain access to Vault Management, click Manage Identities under Vault Settings. You can only manage the identities of the currently logged in OmniPass user To add a new identity, click New Identity or double-click Click here to add a new identity. Name the new identity and click [OK], then click [Apply]. You can now switch to the new identity and start remembering passwords. To delete an identity, highlight the identity you want to delete and click [Delete Identity], then click [Apply]. When you delete an identity, all of its associated remembered sites and password protected dialogs are lost. To set the default identity, highlight the identity you want as default and click [Set as Default]; click [Apply]

to ensure the settings are saved. If you log in to OmniPass with a fingerprint device, you will automati-

cally be logged in to the default identity for that OmniPass user. You can choose the identity with which you are logging in if you login using "master password". F I n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r U s e r s G u i d e Choosing User Identity during Login To choose your identity during login, type your user-

name in the User Name: field. Press [Tab] and see that the Domain: field self-populates. Click the Password:

field to bring the cursor to it, and you will see the pull-

down menu in the Identity: field. Select the identity you wish to login as and then click OK to login. Switch User Identity To switch identities at any time, right-click the OmniPass system tray icon and click Switch User Iden-

tity from the submenu. The Switch Identity dialog will appear. Select the desired identity and then click OK. Identities and Password Management On the Manage Passwords interface of the Vault Management tab of the OmniPass Control Center, there is a pull-down selection box labeled, Identity. This field lets you choose which identity you are managing pass-

words for. When you select an identity here, only those password protected dialogs that are associated with that identity are shown. You can perform all the functions explained in Password Management on page 104. CONFIGURING OMNIPASS This section gives an overview of both the Export/

Import function and the OmniPass Control Center. Exporting and Importing Users Using the OmniPass Control Center, you can export and import users in and out of OmniPass. The export process backs up all remembered sites, credentials, and any enrolled fingerprints for an OmniPass user. All OmniPass data for a user is backed up to a single encrypted database file. During the import process, the Windows login of the exported user is required. If the proper credentials cannot be supplied, the user profile will not be imported. You should periodically export your user profile and store it in a safe place. If anything happens to your system, you can import your OmniPass profile to a new system and have all your remem-

bered settings and fingerprints instantly. You don't forget the Windows login credentials when exporting. When you examine the importation, you are prompted for authentication. The credentials that will allow a user profile to be imported are the Windows login credentials of the exported user. They are the credentials that had to be submitted when the user profile was exported. You will need User Name, Password, and Domain. 105 P Series.book Page 106 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM L i f e B o o k T S e r i e s T a b l e t P C - A p p e n d i x B Exporting an OmniPass User Profile To export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center, and click Import/Export User under Manage Users. Click Exports an OmniPass user profile. OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Upon successfully authenti-

cation, you must name the OmniPass user profile and decide where to save it. An .opi file is generated, and you should store a copy of it in a safe place. This .opi file contains all your user specific OmniPass data, and it is both encrypted and password protected. This user profile does NOT contain any of your encrypted data files. Importing an OmniPass User Profile You cannot import a user into OmniPass if there already is a user with the same name enrolled in OmniPass. To import an OmniPass user open the OmniPass Control Center, and click Import/Export User under Manage Users. Click Imports a new user into OmniPass and then select OmniPass Import/Export File (*.opi) and click Next. OmniPass will then prompt you to browse for the file you had previously exported (.opi file). When you select the .opi file for importation, OmniPass will prompt you for authentication. The credentials that will allow a user profile to be imported are the Windows login credentials of the exported user. They are the credentials that had to be submitted when the user profile was exported. You will need User Name, Password, and Domain. If you dont remember the value for Domain, in a PC or SOHO environment Domain should be your computer name. OmniPass will notify you if the user was successfully imported. Things to Know Regarding Import/Export Assume you export a local Windows User profile from OmniPass. You want to import that profile to another machine that has OmniPass. Before you can import the profile, a Windows user with the same login cre-

dentials must be created on the machine importing the profile. Example: I have a Windows user with the username Tom and the password Sunshine on my system. I have enrolled Tom into OmniPass and remembered passwords. I want to take all my passwords to new sys-

tem. I export Toms OmniPass user profile. I go to my new system and using the Control Panel I create a user with the username "Tom" and the password "Sun-

shine". I can now successfully import the OmniPass user data to the new system. 106 If you export an OmniPass-only user, you can import that user to any computer running OmniPass, pro-

vided that a user with that name is not already enrolled in OmniPass. If you attempt to import a user profile who has the same name as a user already enrolled in OmniPass, the OmniPass import function will fail. OMNIPASS CONTROL CENTER This section will serve to explain functions within the OmniPass Control Center that werent explained earlier. You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of three ways:

Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in the Windows taskbar (typically in the lower-right cor-

ner of the desktop) Click the Start button; select the Programs group;

select the Softex program group; and click the OmniPass Control Center selection. Open the Windows Control Panel (accessible via Start button --> Settings --> Control Panel) and double-

click the Softex OmniPass icon. User Management The User Management tab has two major interfaces:

Add/Remove User and Import/Export User. Import/

Export User functionality is documented in Exporting and Importing Users on page 105. Add/Remove User functionality is straightforward. If you click Adds a new user to OmniPass you will start the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. The Enrollment Wizard is documented in User Enrollment on page 102. If you click Removes a user from OmniPass, OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Authenticate with the credentials (or enrolled fingerprint) of the user you wish to remove. OmniPass will prompt you to confirm user removal. Click OK to complete user removal. Removing a user will automatically destroy all OmniPass data associated with that user. All identities and credentials associated with the user will be lost. If you are sure about removing the user, we recommend you export the user profile. User Settings The User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings, Taskbar Tips, and Enrollment. User settings allow users to customize OmniPass to suit individual preferences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips) P Series.book Page 107 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 10:43 AM you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied, etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips interfaces are self-explanatory. The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll finger-

prints. For the procedure to enroll and authentication device refer to Chapter 2.3. To enroll additional finger-

prints, click Enroll Authentication Device, and authen-

ticate with OmniPass. Select the fingerprint recognition device in the Select Authentication Device screen (it should already be marked by a green check if you have a finger enrolled) and click Next. System Settings The OmniPass Startup Options interface can be found in the System Settings tab. With these options you can specify how your OmniPass Logon is tied to your Windows Logon. The first option, Automatically log on to OmniPass as the current user, will do just as it says; during Windows login, you will be logged on to OmniPass using your Windows login credentials. If the user logging into Windows was never enrolled into OmniPass, upon login no one will be logged on to OmniPass. This setting is appropriate for an office setting or any setting where users must enter a username and password to log into a computer. This is the default setting. With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you have logged on to Windows. With the third option, Do not log on to OmniPass at startup, OmniPass will not prompt for a user to be logged on. You can manually log on to OmniPass by right-clicking the OmniPass taskbar icon and clicking Log in User from the right-click menu. TROUBLESHOOTING You cannot use OmniPass to create Windows users. You must first create the Windows user, and you will need administrative privileges to do that. Once the Windows user is created, you can add that user to OmniPass using the same username and password Cannot add Windows users to OmniPass If you experience difficulties adding a Windows user to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local secu-

rity settings. You can do this by going to Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand Security Options, and double-click Network Access:

Sharing and Security Model for Local Accounts. The F I n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r U s e r s G u i d e correct setting should be Classic - Local Users Authen-

ticate as Themselves. Cannot add a User with a Blank Password to OmniPass If you experience difficulties adding a user with a blank password to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local security settings. First attempt the proce-

dure explained in the Cannot add Windows user to OmniPass section. If the difficulties persist, then try the following procedure. Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand Security Options, and double-click Accounts: Limit local account use of blank pass-

words to console login only. This setting should be set to Disabled. Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during Windows Logon After installing OmniPass on your system, you can choose to logon to Windows using OmniPass. You authenticate with OmniPass (via master password, or an enrolled security device) and OmniPass logs you into Windows. You may, during this OmniPass authentication, see a Login Error dialog box. This dialog box occurs when OmniPass was unable to log you into Windows with the credentials supplied

(username and password). This could happen for any of the following reasons:
