LifeBook Application/ Media Player Panel

A unique feature of your notebook is the LifeBook Application/Media Player Panel. The LifeBook Applica- tion Panel makes your LifeBook notebook more than just another computer. This panel allows you to launch applications with the touch of one button or to operate the optical drive as an independent audio media player.

■The LifeBook Application Panel uses the date and time settings of your LifeBook notebook. If the date and time are incor- rect, you can adjust the settings in the Windows Control Panel.

■The media player that your LifeBook notebook uses is determined by the con- figuration of your system.

APPLICATION LAUNCH/

MEDIA PLAYER BUTTONS

When Application mode is active, pressing any of the four application buttons (A, B, Internet, or Mail) will launch a user-defined application. When Player mode is selected, the buttons operate the media player.

CONFIGURING THE APPLICATION PANEL

When you start your system, the LifeBook Application Panel is automatically activated. As an application launcher, the LifeBook Application Panel is very flexible, giving you a variety of options. To set up the panel to best suit your needs, the Application Panel Setup utility will quickly and easily help you make the most of this valuable feature.

To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with the Application Panel Setup utility:

Your LifeBook notebook is pre-installed with software utilities that let you operate and configure your LifeBook Application Panel. These utilities are found under [Start] -> Control Panel -> Application Panel.

The panel consists of the following elements:

Located to the left of the power/suspend/resume button, the mode button allows you to select the function of the panel—either as an application launcher (“Applica- tion”) or a media player (“Player”).

When you press the Mode button, the light associated with the button label will change. If Application mode is selected, the light below “Application” will be illumi- nated; if Player mode is selected, the light above “Player” will be illuminated.

1.Click on [Start] -> Control Panel. (Note that depending upon the View you are using, you may need to click Settings before clicking Control Panel).

2.Double-click on Application Panel. The Application Panel Setup utility will appear.

The utility window has tabs that correspond to the application buttons on the application panel. When you receive your notebook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch specific programs. (See Specifications on page 91 for more information)

The tabs in Application Panel Setup may not be in the same order as the buttons on your LifeBook notebook. Please select the tab you wish to change carefully.

To change an application associated with one of the buttons, click on the tab for the button you would like to
