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

ROM drive. The default setting is the Auto Insert Notifi-
cation function active. The DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM Auto Insert Notification function will periodically check for a DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM installed in the drive, causing the DVD/CD-RW/CD-
ROM Access indicator to flash. The DVD/
CD-RW/CD-ROM Auto Insert Notification function allows your system to automatically start a DVD/CD-RW/CD-
ROM as soon as it is inserted in the drive and the tray is closed. It will begin playing an audio DVD/CD or will start an application if the DVD/CD has an auto-

(surrounded by heavy line) Figure 2-10 Keyboard Application Key Cursor Keys Keyboard USING THE KEYBOARD Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has an integral 84-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys. (Figure 2-10) Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to tog-
gle between the standard character and numerical keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key. Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the right, left, up, or down within windows, applications and documents. Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12], are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce special actions that vary depending on what program is running. Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows operating system and function the same as the onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on your pointing device. NUMERIC KEYPAD Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.
(Figure 2-10) WINDOWS KEYS Your LifeBook notebook has two Windows keys, consisting of a Start key and an Application key. The Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The Application key functions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional information regarding the Windows keys.)
(Figure 2-10) CURSOR KEYS The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the focus (selects the next item up, down, left, or right).

Touchpad pointing device Touchpad Pointing Device Certain S7000 LifeBook notebooks are equipped with an optional Quick Point button for moving the cursor. For more information about Quick Point, see Optional Quick Point Feature on page 16. The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, a left and right button, and a scrolling button. Certain configurations of the LifeBook S7000 notebook have an optional finger-
print sensor instead of a scrolling button. For information on using the optional fin-
gerprint sensor, refer to Fingerprint Sen-
sor Device on page 111. The cursor control works the same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending on the application that is being used. The scrolling button allows you to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the scroll bars. (Figure 2-11) An external mouse can be connected to either the USB port on your LifeBook note-
book or the USB or PS/2 ports on the optional port replicator, and used simulta-
neously with the Touchpad. However, if you boot the system with an external mouse connected the Touchpad will be disabled or enabled depending on the specifications in your BIOS settings. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information) CLICKING Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-
click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad once. (Figure 2-12) Figure 2-12 Clicking 15 TOUCHPAD CONTROL ADJUSTMENT The Windows Control Panel allows you to customize your Touchpad with selections made from within the Mouse Properties dialog box. SCROLLING Using the Scrolling button allows you to navigate through a document quickly without using the windows scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navi-
gating through on-line pages. To use the Scrolling button, press the crescent shape at the top or bottom of the button to scroll up or down a page. When you have reached the desired section of the page, release the button. (Figure 2-15) Figure 2-15 Scrolling OPTIONAL QUICK POINT FEATURE The optional Quick Point device consists of a cursor control button at the lower center of the keyboard. It is roughly the same size and shape as a pencil eraser. The cursor control works the same way a mouse ball does, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure to move; the more pressure you use, the faster the cursor will move. When used with the Quick Point button, the middle Touchpad button allows you to scroll up and down a screen. S7010.book Page 16 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k DOUBLE-CLICKING Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button twice, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.
(Figure 2-13) Figure 2-13 Double-clicking If the interval between clicks is too long, the double-click will not be executed. Parameters for the Touchpad can be adjusted from the Mouse Properties dialog box located in the Windows Control Panel. DRAGGING Dragging means pressing and holding the left button, while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its new location and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger across the Touchpad, and then release your finger. (Figure 2-14) Figure 2-14 Dragging 16 S7010.book Page 17 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM Volume Control Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other. Any software that contains audio files will also contain a volume control of its own. If you install an external audio device that has an independent volume control, the hardware volume control and the software volume control will interact with each other. It should be noted that if you set your software volume to Off, you will override the external volume control setting. CONTROLLING THE VOLUME The volume can be controlled in several different ways:
Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on the Taskbar. Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 func-
tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]
G e t t i n g t o K n o w Y o u r L i f e B o o k will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing
[F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your notebook. There are 26 levels through which the function keys cycle. Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications. Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume controls. Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level. 17 S7010.book Page 18 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Flexible Bay Eject Lever Flexible Bay Figure 2-16 Flexible Bay Flexible Bay Devices Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay.

Application Panel A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the Security/Application Panel that allows you to secure your notebook from unauthorized use. The Security/Applica-
tion Panel also allows you to launch applications with the touch of a button when your system is on. If the security system is activated, upon starting your notebook or resuming from suspend mode the security system requires you to enter a password code using the buttons on the Security/Application Panel. After entering a correct password, your notebook resumes system operation. (Figure 2-18) SETTING UP YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY PANEL When you receive your LifeBook notebook, the security panel application is pre-installed without any passwords. The following sections provide detailed information on your security panel, and how to set, change or remove passwords. Numbered Buttons Use these buttons to enter your password.(Figure 2-18) Enter Button After entering the button strokes, push this button to enter the password into the LifeBook notebook.
(Figure 2-18) LifeBook notebooks in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to five button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta-
neously. The following are valid button strokes:
n Pushing [4] by itself n Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time n Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time n Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time The following are valid passwords. The numbers within braces ({ }) are button strokes using more than one button. n {[2]+[3]}, [1], [enter]
n [4], [enter]
n {[1]+[3]}, {[2]+[3]+[4]}, [1], [4], [2], [enter]
Setting Passwords When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting a supervisor and user password. You must set the super-
visor password before the user password. n The purpose of supervisor password is to be able to bypass the user password in case the user password is forgotten. The supervisor password alone will not lock the system. n You have to set both the supervisor and user passwords for the security panel to work. PASSWORDS The user and supervisor password may be set on this notebook. A supervisor password is typically the same for all LifeBook notebooks in a working group, office, or company to allow for system management. Individual Setting Supervisor Password You must have set a supervisor password before setting any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass the user password. 1. Go to the Start menu. 20 S7010.book Page 21 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM 2. Click on Run. 3. Type in:

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the Supervisor password. Setting User Password 1 Go to the Start menu. 2. Click on Programs. 3. Click on Security Panel Application and Set User Password. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the user password. You may change or remove the supervisor or user password by repeating the steps defined above. OPERATING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY/
APPLICATION PANEL The security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off or suspend state. You always need to push the Suspend /Resume button to input the user pass-
word. Your system will not begin the boot sequence without entering your supervisor/user password. From Off State 1. Turn on your system. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-
word and press Enter button. For example, if the password is 22222, Press Button Number 2 five times and press Enter button. The LifeBook notebook will boot to normal opera-
tion. From Suspend State 1. Press your Power/Suspend/Resume button. 2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-
word and press Enter button. The notebook should resume normal operation. Incorrect Password Entry If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will beep for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute
(while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the note-
book will resume normal operation. If no password (or an invalid one) is entered while the system beeps, the G e t t i n g t o K n o w Y o u r L i f e B o o k system will return to its previous locked state (suspend or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reacti-
vate the notebook after a password failure, you must press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password. Remember the user password you specified on the Security Panel Application. If you forget the password you will not be able to use your computer. The super-visor password can override the user password. PRECAUTIONS Opening and Closing the Cover Closing the cover automatically places the notebook into suspend mode. Opening the cover does not automati-
cally place the notebook into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button. Low Battery Operations If your LifeBook notebook has low battery, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button only turns on the Secu-
rity Indicator. Your notebook does not unlock, the Secu-
rity Indicator turns off after one minute. To resume normal operation, first attach a power supply to the notebook. Then you may unlock the notebook. UNINSTALLING THE SECURITY PANEL APPLICATION You have two options when uninstalling the security panel application:
n Uninstall the security panel application software. This will disable all security feature. n Uninstall the security panel application with password still active. This will not allow any changes to the password. Uninstalling the Security Panel Application Software Remove passwords when User wants no password protection whatsoever and doesnt want to give anybody the utility to set a password on their computer. In this case, if passwords (supervisor, user, or both) are set, the passwords must first be cleared BEFORE removing the application. To clear passwords, follow same procedure in SETTING PASSWORD CODES except this time, select REMOVE, enter current password then click Next. When asked to confirm select Yes. 21 S7010.book Page 22 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Removing Security Panel Application with Passwords Still Active Using this feature will not allow any changes to the password.

BOOTING THE SYSTEM We strongly recommend that you do not attach any external devices and do not put a DVD/CD in any drive until you have gone through the initial power on sequence. When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin. Designed to accommodate the needs of users in many different countries, Windows needs to be configured the first time you use it. Windows has three parts:
Getting Started: You have the opportunity to enter custom information for your configuration file and setup your modem so that your LifeBook notebook will be prepared to dial out. Registration: Easy online registration for Windows with Microsoft, and for your LifeBook notebook with Fujitsu. Windows License Agreement and Final Settings:
You have the opportunity to review the Windows. Getting Started Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in the information as directed. You will be asked for such items as the language you wish to use, the country in which you live, your first and last name, and about how you dial out from where you will be using your note-
book. For the modem settings, enter your current location information 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, and you will go directly to the condition of use page. Make sure you have connected a phone line to your modem before you use E-
Registration. Once you have set up your notebook to dial out, Windows will make a free telephone call which will test these settings. If the call is unsuccessful, you will be returned to the phone settings page where you may try to fix them. If you are unable to fix the settings please contact Fujitsu Service and Support. (See Fujitsu Contact Information on page 1 for more information) If you would simply like to move on, and register at a later time, you 30 may click the Skip button, and you will go directly to the Condition of Use page. Registration If your connection is successful, you will go to the Registration Confirmation page. On this page simply enter the requested information, and then check the box at the bottom to register your copy of Windows with Microsoft. Once you have finished, click the Next button to continue. If you do not register at this time you can do it later simply by double-clicking on the LifeBook Registration icon on your desktop and following the instructions. You will then go through the Fujitsu registration process. Follow the instructions on the screens, and enter all of the necessary information. Be as specific as possible so that if you need help the service and support team will be able to serve you better. Final Settings The first part of your final settings is the Windows End User License Agreement. Read the agreement carefully. When you finish reading you must accept or reject the terms of the agreement and then click on the Next button. If you reject the terms of the license agreement you will be asked to review the license agreement for information on returning to Windows or to shut down your LifeBook notebook. WINDOWS PRODUCT ACTIVATION Windows XP has already been pre-installed and pre-
activated when you receive the system. In the event you need to re-install Windows XP (e.g., after making significant configuration changes), it may be necessary to reactivate the operating system. To do so, use the following information. After re-installing Windows XP, you have thirty days to activate it. Product activation ensures that you are the authorized owner of the Windows XP operating sys-
tem. Until you activate the product, you will be prompted whenever you turn on the system that activation is required. Follow the on-screen directions to activate your operating system. The product only needs to be activated once, unless significant hardware changes are made to your system. Note that Product Activation and Registration are not the same thing. Registration is optional, whereas Prod-
uct Activation is a required procedure. G e t t i n g S t a r t e d S7010.book Page 31 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM REGISTERING YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK How do I register?
To register, visit our Web site at:
us.fujitsu.com/computers INSTALLING CLICK ME!
The first time you boot up your system, you will see an icon called Click Me!. (The icon is located 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. Click Me! will install additional system utilities to maxi-
mize the performance of your system. 31 S7010.book Page 32 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Power Management Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention, such as those for the internal modem. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your oper-
ating conditions, such as those for the display bright-
ness. Internal power management for your notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility. Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your notebook into Suspend mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings. POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Power/
Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the Power/
Suspend/Resume button when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and your system will enter Suspend mode. (See figure 2-3 on page 6 for location) If your LifeBook is suspended, pushing the Power/
Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-3 on page 6) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode. (See Hibernation Feature) SUSPEND MODE Suspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your LifeBook notebooks system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be put in Suspend mode by:
Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on. Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu. Timing out from lack of activity. 32 Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition. Your notebooks system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application informa-
tion, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume. If you are running your LifeBook note-
book on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your notebook is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully opera-
tional. Disabling the Power/Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode. The resume function of the button can-
not be disabled. The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-
Disk) mode should not be used with cer-
tain PC Cards. Check your PC Card doc-
umentation for more information. When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspen-
sion, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts. If your LifeBook notebook is actively accessing information when you enter the Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-
Disk) mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Hiberna-
tion mode. The main advantage of using the Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) function is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leaving your LifeBook notebook in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices. S7010.book Page 33 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your LifeBook notebooks system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature. Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature The default settings is not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these easy steps:
1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel. 2. From the Control Panel select Power Options. 3. Select the Hibernation tab. Select the box to enable or disable this feature. Using the Hibernation Feature 1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel. 2. From the Control Panel select Power Options. 3. Select the Advanced tab. Select Hibernate from the pull down menu for Power buttons. DISPLAY TIMEOUT The Video Timeout is one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Power/Suspend/
Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information) HARD DISK TIMEOUT The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Power/
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information) WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT Power Management The Power Management icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some power management settings. For example, you can use Power Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters. The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information) G e t t i n g S t a r t e d RESTARTING THE SYSTEM If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure. 1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down. 2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box. 3. Click OK to restart your notebook. Your notebook will shut down and then reboot. Turning off your notebook without exiting Windows, or turning it on within 10 seconds of being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time. POWER OFF Before turning off the power, check that the Hard Drive, optical drive, PC Card, and Floppy Disk indicators are all Off. (See figure 2-3 on page 6). If you power-off while accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that the notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shutdown procedure. Be sure to close all files, exit all applications, and shut down your operating system prior to turning off the power. If files are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors. Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down or Turn Off Computer. 2. Select the Shut Down option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box. 3. Click OK to shut down your notebook. If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more see Care and Maintenance Section. 33 S7010.book Page 34 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k 34

Optical Drive Optical Drive There is a variety of media available to use with your system, depending upon the system configuration you have selected. Multi-Format DVD Writer, DVD/CD-RW Combo drives, and CD-ROM drives are known as optical drives. A CD-R or DVD-R disc can only be written to once;
CD-RW or DVD-RW discs can be written to over and over. CD-R and CD-RW discs hold up to 700MB of data. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs hold up to 4.7 GB of data. Depending upon the configuration of your LifeBook notebook, you may have one of the following drives:
Multi-Format DVD Writer: The Multi-Format DVD Writer combines seven recordable formats in a single drive (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-
RAM, CD-R, and CD-RW), making it the most versa-
tile drive to date. DVD/CD-RW combo: A DVD/CD-RW combo drive allows you to access movie, software, data, or audio DVD/CDs, and to write data onto recordable CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-ROM: A CD-ROM drive allows you to access soft-
ware, data, or audio CDs. MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE Multi-Format DVD Writer model only: With the Multi-
Format DVD Writer and media player software you can play DVD movies and music CDs on your LifeBook notebook. The media player includes controls which allow you to take full advantage of the features of a DVD movie, as well as standard features such as fast forward, fast reverse, pause, etc. With this drive you can also burn onto recordable DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/
RW discs. The Multi-Format DVD Writer also supports burning and reading DVD-RAM. Windows XP supports burning and reading of DVD-RAM as a standard feature. DVD/CD-RW Combo model only: With the combo drive, you can play DVD movies, read audio CDs, and write data onto recordable CD-R or CD-RW discs. CD-ROM model only: With the CD-ROM drive, you can read software, audio, or data CD discs. Do not operate your optical drive unless your LifeBook notebook is sitting on a flat surface. Using a drive when the system is not level may damage the drive or prevent proper operation. Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your battery life if no other power source is attached. LOADING MEDIA ON YOUR DRIVE To load a disc into your optical drive:
1. Push and release the eject button on the front of the optical drive to open the holder tray. The tray will come out of the LifeBook notebook a short distance. 2. Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily be placed in the tray. There may be a protective sheet in the tray from when it was shipped; please make sure it is removed before operating the drive. 37 S7010.book Page 38 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k You should periodically check the Fujitsu web site at us.fujitsu.com/
computers for current updated drivers. All LifeBook DVD players are set to play DVD titles with region code number 1 which is specified for the North American market. The region number is a regional restriction code defined by the DVD Forum acting on Hollywood requirements. Different region codes are recorded on video DVD titles for publication in different areas of the world. If the regional code of the DVD player does not match the regional codes on the titles, then play-
back is impossible. You can change the region code on the DVD player using the Properties menu of the DVD software. Note, however, that you can only change the region code up to four times. After the fourth change, the last region code entered becomes perma-
nent, and cannot be changed. 3. Place the media into the tray, label side up, with the hole in the center of the disc. Snap the disc onto the raised circle in the center of the tray. 4. Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a click. (Figure 4-2) If you have disabled the Auto Insert Notification Function, you will have to start the drive from your desktop, since your LifeBook notebook will not automatically recognize that media has been loaded.

Gently pull the tray out until the disc can easily be removed from the tray. 3. Carefully remove the media disc from the holder tray. 4. Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a click. USING THE MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE Depending upon its configuration, your system may not have the media player software pre-installed. If it is not installed, reference the documentation that accompanies the media application. Starting a DVD Movie (DVD Models only) 1. Insert the DVD movie into the optical drive of your notebook. If the CD AutoRun feature activates, skip Step 2. 2. The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-
RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g., start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you make a selection, you will receive the same prompt whenever you insert a disc. 3. Click OK to close the About DVD Player Performance dialog box and the movie will begin. Opening the Media Player Control Panel With most DVD-ROMs, you have the option of altering how the movie should play and what you wish to view. You can do this by using the media player control panel and the mouse. 1. Right-click on the movie screen to open a dropdown menu for options. 2. Select View, then Player for all the controls available. This will open the control panel into the bottom of the screen. Using the Media Player Control Panel The media player software allows you to watch the movie much like a VCR player. You can pause, rewind, fast-forward and stop the movie at any point. 1. To Pause the movie, click the on-screen button. 2. To Rewind the movie, click the button to rewind to a specific portion of the movie, or the button to return to the opening screen. S7010.book Page 39 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM 3. To Fast-forward the movie, click the button to forward to a specific portion of the movie, or the button to jump to the ending credits. 4. To Stop the movie, click the button. Exiting the Media Player 1. Click the located in the upper right corner of the title bar. This will open a media player dialog box. 2. Click Yes to stop and exit the movie, or No to close the media player dialog box and return to the movie. USING DOLBY HEADPHONE The Dolby Headphone utility lets you enjoy multi-
channel sound sources with realistic surround sound using your conventional stereo headphones. Dolby Headphone is a signal processing system that enables your stereo headphones to realistically portray the sound of a five-speaker playback system. U s e r I n s t a l l a b l e F e a t u r e s an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety. Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will greatly reduce your notebooks battery life. Many movie run-times are longer than your system can support on a single battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety. An additional fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on battery power. If you dont have an additional battery, you may purchase one either online at us.fujitsu.com/computers or by calling 1-877-372-3473. Media discs which do not have the Dolby Surround 5:1 symbol will not support Dolby Headphone. After making changes to the Dolby Headphone feature and clicking OK, wait at least ten seconds before making another change in order to allow the system to stabilize. To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use. 2. Start watching your DVD movie. 3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the media player. To use the Dolby Headphone feature, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the disc in the media player tray. When you do so, WinDVD will start automatically. 2. Click on the Fujitsu logo on the WinDVD control panel. If the disc supports Dolby Surround 5.1, a drop down menu appears. 3. Verify that Dolby headphones is checked on the menu. If you do not want it active, select Disable. USING MEDIA PLAYER ON BATTERY POWER Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when operating the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movies run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a single charged battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in If you do not stop the media player quickly and the LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the LifeBook notebook will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to perform a hard reset and follow the instruction, if any, presented to you before the system will reboot. 4. Power down your LifeBook notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-
charged battery. If you do not have an additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon as you see the low battery warning. 5. Resume your LifeBook notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This is not required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode. 6. Restart your media player, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching. 7. Continue watching your DVD movie. Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life while operating the optical drive cannot be guaranteed. 39 S7010.book Page 40 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Lithium ion Battery Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards. The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
When used at temperatures that exceeds a low of 5C or a high of 35C. Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indi-
cator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.
(See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more information) When using a high current device such as a modem, Multi-Format DVD Writer, CD-ROM drive, DVD/
CD-RW combo drive, or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life. Do not leave a faulty battery in your LifeBook notebook. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your notebook itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery. Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, fea-
tures, power management settings, bat-
tery condition and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive, Multi-For-
mat DVD Writer, DVD/CD-RW drive combo, or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery ages. If your battery is running low quickly, you should replace it with a new one. Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by put-
ting them in the trash. Please take care of our environment and dispose of bat-
teries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regard-
ing recycling or disposing of old batter-
ies. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support repre-
sentative at 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800-
838-5487) 40 RECHARGING THE BATTERIES If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes. The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LifeBook notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter. Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel. There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.
(See Power Management on page 32 for more information on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure) Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-
ROM accesses may prevent charging completely. Low Battery State When the battery is running low, a low battery notifica-
tion message will appear. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook will go into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point. Once the low battery notification mes-
sage appears, you need to save all your active data and put your LifeBook note-
book into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, an AC power adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible. When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you remove all power sources while your LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost. S7010.book Page 41 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery. Shorted Batteries The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. (See figure 2-
9 on page 11) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your LifeBook notebook. REPLACING THE BATTERY With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-
swapping and hot-swapping:
Cold-swapping Batteries To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-3) 1. Have a charged battery ready to install. 2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter. 3. Unlock the battery bay release latch by pushing the latch release away from the battery pack and sliding the battery bay release latch towards the latch release
(Figure 4-3). 4. Continue to press the latch release button away from the battery pack, and lift the battery out of the bay by inserting a thumbnail under the edge of the battery at the lift slot. 5. Slide a new battery into the bay. 6. Slide the battery bay release latch back to its original position to lock the battery into place. 8. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on. U s e r I n s t a l l a b l e F e a t u r e s Hot-swapping Batteries To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-3) Be sure to plug in an AC Adapter prior to removing the battery. There is no bridge battery present to support the system while the battery is being replaced. If you do not use an AC Adapter you will lose any unsaved files. 1. Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet. Latch Release Battery Bay Release Latch Battery Pack Lift Slot Figure 4-3. Removing a Battery 2. Follow steps 3 through 5 in Cold Swapping Batteries. If the Lithium ion battery connector is not fully seated, you may not be able to use your notebook or charge your battery. 41 S7010.book Page 42 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Eject Button Figure 4-4.Loading/Ejecting a 3.5 Floppy Disk External USB Floppy Disk Drive An external USB floppy disk drive is available as an option for your LifeBook notebook. The external floppy disk drive can read and write information on removable 1.44MB and 720KB floppy disks. Your LifeBook notebook is preconfigured to boot from a USB floppy drive. Refer-
ence the BIOS manual for further informa-
tion on changing the default boot drive. The BIOS manual can be found on the Fujitsu Computer Systems web site:
us.fujitsu.com/computers, under Support. LOADING A DISK To load a disk into your disk drive, follow these easy steps:
1. Orient the disk so that its label is facing upwards and the shutter side is pointing towards the drive.
(Figure 4-4) 2. Push the disk into the drive until the Eject button pops out and you hear a click. When there is no disk in the drive, the Eject button is flush with your notebook. EJECTING A DISK To eject a disk from the disk drive, follow these easy steps:
1. Check that the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator is inactive. 2. Press the Eject button. This will push your disk partially out of the drive. 3. Remove the disk. 42 If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator is active, there is a risk of damaging the data on the disk, the disk itself or even the disk drive. PREPARING A DISK FOR USE Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared so your LifeBook notebook knows where to store infor-
mation. This preparation is called formatting or initial-
izing a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless they are preformatted. (Please refer to your operating system manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a disk) To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a disk, slide the write protect tab until a small hole is exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or remove data on a protected disk, slide the write protect tab to close the small hole.

Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] ->
Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under Computer:. There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that your system uses a video graphics chip which dynami-
cally allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance. Up to 64 MB of memory is dynamically shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). Intel Extreme Graphics allocates 8 MB of the system memory for use as default video memory. If your system is config-
ured with 512 MB of system memory, for example, only 504 MB will be dis-
played in your system information. If the total memory displayed is incor-
rect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. (If the mod-
ule is properly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see Troubleshooting on page 55. 46 S7010.book Page 47 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM U s e r I n s t a l l a b l e F e a t u r e s Power On/Suspend/Resume Button Anti-theft Lock Slot USB Ports PS/2 Port Parallel Port External Monitor Port DVI-D Port Serial Port LAN (RJ-45)Port Figure 4-11.

BUSY NO ANSWER When using the internal modem with applications that are not factory installed refer to the application documentation. 65 S7010.book Page 66 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Restoring Your Pre-installed Software The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) DVD contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your computer configuration for use as documented below. In order to install applications and/or drivers from the DAR DVD, you will need to connect a DVD drive either in your system or attached externally. 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. Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications The Drivers and Applications DVD can be used to selectively 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 DVD after Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is displayed after the DVD 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 DVD. 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. 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 4. 66 blue-coded components; you must select grey and green components separately. 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 DVD 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 DVDs attached to your system. If you do not have a built-in DVD player, you will need to attach an external player. For more information on available external devices, visit our Web site at: us.fujitsu.com/
computers.
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 DVD 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. 4. 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. S7010.book Page 67 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM 5. 6. If you have an external DVD drive connected, proceed to the next step; otherwise, proceed to step 7.

After you have changed the boot priority, you can restore a backup image when you are booting up. Procedure 1. 2. Turn on the power to your system. Ensure that you have a device that can read DVDs either installed in your system or attached exter-
nally to it. Insert the Restore DVD 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, you can either right-click on the FDU icon or hold the pen on the icon for a couple of seconds until the menu appears. The menu contains the following items:
Check for updates now Allows for manual driver update search. The first time it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user agreement. After clicking on the icon, the FDU auto-
matically connects with the Fujitsu site to check for updates and downloads them. While downloading, the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it cannot be used while the download is in process. When the update is complete, a message appears informing you of the fact. Enable Automatic Update Notifications Automatically searches for new updates on a regular basis (approximately every 3 days). Show update history Brings up a screen that displays a history of updates that have been made via the FDU.

This section provides some tips for looking after the notebook and its devices. Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operations of this product or simi-
lar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical products and do not permit them to handle any cables. Caring for your LifeBook notebook Your LifeBook notebook is a durable but sensitive elec-
tronic device. Treat it with respect and care. Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying case. C a r e a n d M a i n t e n a n c e Cleaning your LifeBook notebook Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not the cord.) Clean your LifeBook notebook with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen. Never use glass cleaners. Storing your LifeBook notebook If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn your LifeBook notebook off, fully charge the battery(s), then remove and store all Lithium ion batter-
ies. Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you store your LifeBook with a battery installed, the battery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addi-
tion, a faulty battery might damage your LifeBook. Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Store your Fujitsu LifeBook in a cool, dry location. Always follow installation instructions closely. Keep it away from food and beverages. If you accidentally spill liquid on your LifeBook note-
book:
1. Turn it off. 2. Position it so that the liquid can run out. 3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed. 4. If your notebook will not boot after it has dried out, call your support representative. Do not use your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook in a wet environment (near a bathtub, swimming pool). Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for your notebook. Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental hazards. Do not expose your notebook to direct sunlight for long periods of time as temperatures above 140 F (60 C) may damage your notebook. Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots when they are not in use. Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer. If you are carrying your LifeBook notebook in a brief-
case, or any other carrying case, make sure that there are no objects in the case pressing on the lid. Never position your notebook such that the optical drive is supporting the weight of the notebook. Do not drop your notebook. Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects. Temperatures should remain between 13F (-25C) and 140F (60C). Travelling with your LifeBook notebook Do not transport your notebook while it is turned on. It is recommended that you carry your notebook with you while travelling, rather than checking it in as bag-
gage. Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with your notebook when you travel. If you experience sys-
tem software problems while traveling, you may need it to correct any problems. Never put your notebook through a metal detector. Have your notebook hand-inspected by security per-
sonnel. You can however, put your notebook through a properly tuned X-ray machine. To avoid problems, place your notebook close to the entrance of the machine and remove it as soon as possible or have your notebook hand-inspected by security personnel. Secu-
rity officials may require you to turn your notebook On. Make sure you have a charged battery on hand.

Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so may cause an explosion or fire. Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery. Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated areas. Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life. Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without recharging it. Increasing Battery Life Power your LifeBook notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible. If your notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight to recharge the battery. Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable. Set the power management for maximum battery life. Put your notebook in Suspend mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it. Limit your media drive access. 72 Disable the Media Player auto insert notification function. Always use fully charged batteries. Eject PCMCIATM cards when not in use. FLOPPY DISKS AND DRIVES Caring for your Floppy Disks Avoid using the floppy disks in damp and dusty locations. Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic field. Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label. Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature changes. Store at temperatures between 50 F (10C) and 125F (52C). Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the metal shutter. Never use the floppy disk drive with any liquid, metal, or other foreign matter inside the floppy disk drive or disk. Never disassemble your floppy disk drive. MEDIA CARE Caring for your Media (DVD/CD/CD-R) Media discs are precision devices and will function reli-
ably if given reasonable care. Always store your media disc in its case when it is not in use. Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the surface. Avoid storing any media discs in extreme temperatures. Do not bend media discs or set heavy objects on them. Do not spill liquids on media discs. Do not scratch media discs. Do not get dust on media discs. Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen. If a media disc is subjected to a sudden change in tem-
perature, cold to warm condensation may form on the surface. 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 media discs. If a disc is dirty, use only a DVD/CD cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping to the outer edge.

However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates. The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. Three regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following three classes. Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks G l o s s a r y replacing the system based on classes A, B, and C and is tied to adoption of IPv6.

A way of referring to parallel interface ports because historically line printers were the first and latter the most common device connected to parallel ports. MAC Address Media Access Control Address A unique physical address of a network card. For Ethernet, the first three bytes are used as the vendor code, controlled and assigned by IEEE. The remaining three bytes are controlled by each vendor (preventing overlap), therefore, every Ethernet card is given a unique physical address in the world, being assigned with a different address from other cards. For Ethernet, frames are sent and received based on this address. The number of unassigned Internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme called CIDR is gradually MB Megabyte. 85 S7010.book Page 86 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k Megahertz 1,000,000 cycles per second.

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

erly setup and configure the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN device, read this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Divi-
sion Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode. Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document
The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at This document is applicable to systems containing one of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are identical. Sections that differ between the two devices have been noted in the text:
Intel PROSet Wireless LAN (WM3B2915ABG and WM3B2200BG)
Atheros Wireless LAN (WLL4070) If your system is an S7020, your wireless module is the Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is an S7020D, your wireless module is the Atheros wireless LAN. Characteristics of the WLAN Device
The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the mainboard of the mobile computer.
It is a dual-band radio that operates in two license-free RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to operate. It operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band. Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower and middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands.
The Atheros WLAN is capable of three operating modes, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, wireless LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Insti-
tute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers). The Intel WLAN is capable of two operating modes, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g. Figure 5-1. Ad Hoc Mode Network the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b mode.
The maximum communication range indoors is approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that range will increase or decrease depending on factors such as number of walls, reflective material, or inter-
ference from external RF sources.
The WLAN device supports the following encryption methods - WEP, TKIP, and AES encryption. WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE Ad Hoc Mode
(See Figure 5-1)
"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. 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, network authenti-
cation, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network. 94 S7010.book Page 95 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM 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 can communicate with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases. How to Handle This Device The WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Oper-
ating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device. WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS
The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN device sup-
ports IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g. The Intel PRO/
Wireless 2915ABG and Atheros AR5006X WLAN devices support IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.
The Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN device oper-
ates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG and Atheros AR5006X WLAN devices oper-
ate in the 2.4GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands. Figure A-2. Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode Network WIreless LA N User s G u id e
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. 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:
Using the Wireless On/Off Switch

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. Weak received signal strength and/or link quality 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 waves on page 101. The WLAN device has been deactivated or disabled Check if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify Disable Radio is not checked in Network setting window. Refer to Activating the Wireless LAN on page 96. The computer to be connected is turned off Check if the computer to be connected is turned ON. RF interference from Access Points or other wireless networks The use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering device. Wireless network authentication has failed Re-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly typed WEP key, a mis-configured LEAP username, or an incorrectly chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate but not authenticate to the wireless network. Incorrectly configured network settings Recheck the configuration of your network settings. For the method of checking, refer to the following page:Connection to the Network on page 99. Incorrect IP address configuration This only applies to networks using static IP addresses. Please contact your network administrator for the correct settings. 103 S7010.book Page 104 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - A p p e n d i x Wireless LAN Glossary GLOSSARY Access point Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and wired network traffic. 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 94. CCX (Cisco Compatible Extensions) Implementation that provides improved wireless data security, ensuring certified compatibility with Cisco wireless access points. 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. EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol A protocol implementation that provides a framework to allow easier user authentication. 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. 104 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. 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: Security Set Identifier) When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is performed to avoid interference or data theft. This grouping is performed with Network name (SSID). In order to improve security, the network key is set allowing no communication unless Network name
(SSID) coincides with the network key. Open system authentication Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan-
dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire-
less client before allowing it to associate. S7010.book Page 105 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM W I r e l e s s L A N U s e r s G u i d e PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) An improvement over EAP, making authentication much easier to achieve. Security feature that is a WEP enhancement to defend against known wireless data security issues. PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Standard wireless security provided by the Wi-Fi stan-
dard, used for protecting wireless data. 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. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) Strong replacement for WEP, providing improved data encryption and user authentication. 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. 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. 105 S7010.book Page 106 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 S e r i e s N o t e b o o k - A p p e n d i x 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:
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.

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. U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r 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. INSTALLING OMNIPASS If OmniPass has already been installed on your system, skip this section and go directly to User Enrollment on page 112. 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 or Windows XP Profes-
sional 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 112. 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. 111 S7010.book Page 112 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k A p p e n d i x 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. network resources, you often have to supply credentials to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of creden-
tials that you have to remember. 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. 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. 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 112 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 lifebook), 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 lifebook) 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 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 of this document. 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 S7010.book Page 113 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 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 113 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. U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r 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 regu-
larly, OmniPass will streamline your authentications. 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. 113 S7010.book Page 114 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k A p p e n d i x 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. 114 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. S7010.book Page 115 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 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". U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r 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 114. 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. 115 S7010.book Page 116 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o t e b o o k A p p e n d i x 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. 116 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 115. 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 112. 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 their individual prefer-
ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied, S7010.book Page 117 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips interfaces are self-explana-
tory. 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 correct setting should be Classic - Local Users Authen-
ticate as Themselves. U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r 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:
Your Windows password has changed Your Windows account has been disabled If you are having difficulties due to the first reason, you will need to update OmniPass with your changed Windows account password. Click Update Password and you will be prompted with a dialog to reconfirm your password. Enter the new password to your Windows user account and click OK. If the error persists, then it is unlikely the problem is due to your Windows user account password changing. 117 S7010.book Page 118 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM L i f e B o o k S 7 0 0 0 N o
