Getting to Know Your LifeBook
To change an application associated with the Application
buttons, click on the tab for the button you would like
to reconfigure – for example, Application 1. Click on
Browse from Start Menu, scroll down the list of applica-
tions, click on the application you wish to launch with
this button, and then click OK. The button will now
launch the new application.
The Internet tab is different. It comes set to launch
your Windows 98 default Internet browser, (Internet
Explorer, unless you have changed this in Windows 98.)
In order to reconfigure it to launch another program
follow these easy steps:
1. Click on Other from the Internet browser box.
2. Click on Browse from Start Menu.
3. Scroll down the list of applications, and the click on
the application you wish to launch with this button.
4. Click OK.
The button will now launch the new application. 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.
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.
Deactivating and Activating the
LifeBook Application Panel
To deactivate the LifeBook Application Panel, follow
these easy steps:
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Click on LifeBook Application Panel.
4. Click on Deactivate Panel.
To reactivate, follow the same procedure, except for
step 4. Click on Activate Panel instead.
POINT
The tabs in Application Panel Setup may not be in the
same order as the buttons on your LifeBook, please
select the tab you wish to change carefully.
POINT
The Internet or E-mail buttons can be configured to
launch any application you wish, not just an Internet
browser or e-mail program.
POINT
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.
POINT
Every time you start Windows 98 the LifeBook Applica-
tion Panel is activated. Even if you deactivated it before
you shut down.
