2.Click on Browse from Start Menu.

If you want to return to launching your Windows 98 default Internet browser with this button, you need only click on “Default Internet Browser” from the Internet browser box. Be aware that you will erase the settings for the “other application”. If you wish to go back to launching the “other application” from this button, you will need to reconfigure it as described above.

If you choose to have the buttons work when the note- book is in standby or pseudo-off, they will function even if hit accidentally, and will turn on your notebook even if you are not present or using your notebook. This could deplete your battery, and you will need to recharge it before using the notebook. As a precaution, move the selector switch to the Lock position when you are away from your notebook.

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