Your LIFEBOOK C Series ...

is a versatile and ergonomic notebook. Innovative technology and an ergonomic design make your notebook a reliable, convenient mobile PC.

To make it easier to use the notebook for the first time, the operating system has been preinstalled on the hard disk. Your notebook is supplied with Windows 2000 or Windows XP as the operating system.

The system settings of the notebook can be configured via the user-friendly BIOS Setup programme. Certain system settings (e.g. screen display, energy saving functions) can be modified via various key combinations while you are using the notebook.

Your LIFEBOOK has a number of security features to ensure that no unauthorised persons can access your data. For example, you can protect access to your data with the security functions in the BIOS Setup.

Your notebook has 128 -2048 Mbyte of main memory installed, depending on the upgrade level. Depending on the model, your notebook is delivered with a DVD-ROM, a CD-ROM drive or a combo drive (CD-RW/DVD). Two PC card slots enable the notebook to operate two type I or type II PC cards or one type III PC card.

The energy-saving processor and the configurable energy-saving functions allow you to make the most effective use of the battery capacity.

Your notebook has connectors for external devices such as an external monitor or a printer. The ECP capable parallel port is designed for fast bi-directional data transfer. You can connect peripheral devices such as a scanner, loudspeakers, gamepads, keyboard, or mouse via the two USB ports. For mouse control, the notebook has a touchpad with touchpad buttons.

An audio controller and two built in loudspeakers provide your notebook with audio options, enabling to incoporate voice, noise effects and music into your LIFEBOOK environment. You can also connect an external microphone and active loudspeakers.

This operating manual tells you how to put your notebook into operation and how to operate it in daily use.
