reconfigure. Click on the Browse button. Scroll down to the application you want to associate with the buttons, click on the application you wish to launch with this button, and then click Open. Click OK, and the button will now launch the new application.

One of the buttons may be preconfigured to launch your default Internet browser. In order to reconfigure it to launch a different program, follow these easy steps:

1.Click on the Internet tab of the application panel utility. Click on the down-arrow in the Specify the button action: field. Select Start Other Program from the dropdown list.

2.Click on the Browse button.

3.Scroll down the list of applications, and click on the application you wish to launch with this button. Click on Open.

4.Click OK.

The button will now launch the new application. If you want to return to launching your default Internet browser with this button, you need only click on “Default Internet Browser” from the dropdown list. Be aware that you will erase the settings for the other appli- cation. If you wish to go back to launching the other application from this button, you will need to recon- figure it as described above.

The E-mail tab can be modified in the same manner as the Internet tab.

At the bottom of each application setup page are two selectable options. The first will enable/disable the button when your LifeBook notebook is in Standby mode, and the second will enable/disable the button when your Life- Book notebook is in the pseudo-off state. You can enable/ disable either or both of these functions simply by clicking on the option.

When you have finished with Application Panel utility, click on OK, and the new settings will take effect. You can reconfigure your LifeBook Application Panel as often as you like.

If you choose to use the buttons when the notebook is in standby, they will function even if hit accidentally, and will turn on your notebook even if you are not present or using the notebook. This could deplete your battery, and you will need to recharge it before using the notebook.

The media player allows you to use your LifeBook note- book’s optical drive as an audio media player.

■If you shut down from Windows while the media player is playing an audio CD, it will stop.

■You cannot go into Suspend Mode or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Mode while the media player is playing a CD.

■The media player will only play when the system is powered on.

There is no configuration required for media player operation. The buttons are pre-configured to work like a normal media player. When the selector switch is in the bottom position, the buttons will operate as follows:

■Stop/Eject: This is the first button to the right of the Mode button. Press it once to stop an audio CD that is playing. Press it twice to eject the audio CD.

■Play/Pause: This is the second button to the right of the Mode button. Press this button to start playing an audio CD starting at Track 1. While the audio CD is playing, press it to pause. Press it again to continue.

■If you press the play button and nothing happens, you either have the Selector switch locked, there is no audio CD in the media player drive, you have a CD other than an audio CD in the drive, or system is not powered on.

■Because of the Windows CD auto-inser- tion function, audio CDs will start play- ing immediately after they are inserted if your LifeBook notebook is on. This will not happen if you are using the media player in Suspend or Pseudo-off modes.

■Fast Backward: This is the third button to the right of the Mode button. Press this button once to skip one track back.

■Fast Forward: This is the fourth button to the right of the Selector switch. Press this button once to skip forward one track.
