Application Panel

A unique feature of your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook is the LifeBook Application Panel. This panel allows you to operate the media player drive either as an independent audio media player or to launch applications with the touch of one button.

APPLICATION LAUNCH

MEDIA PLAYER BUTTONS

When the selector switch is in the Application position, pressing any of the buttons will launch a user-defined application. When the selector switch is in the Media Player position, the buttons operate the media player, and when the selector switch is in the Lock position, the buttons are disabled and do nothing when pressed.

P O I N T S

■LifeBook Application Panel uses the date and time settings of your LifeBook notebook. If the date and time are incorrect, you can adjust this setting in the Windows Control Panel.

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

Your LifeBook notebook is pre-installed with software utilities that let you operate and configure your LifeBook Application Panel. These utilities are found under the Start menu, under Programs, then under LifeBook Application Panel. They include a media player, Application Panel Setup, Application Panel Guide, Activate Panel and Deactivate Panel. The LifeBook Application Panel system makes your LifeBook notebook more than just another notebook computer.

The panel consists of the following elements:

SELECTOR SWITCH

Located at the far left of the panel, this switch allows you to select the function of the panel—either as an Applica- tion Launcher, a media player, or as a lock. Set the switch to the middle position when the Application Launcher buttons are not being used.

CONFIGURING YOUR LIFEBOOK

APPLICATION PANEL

When you start your system, the LifeBook Application Panel is automatically activated. An icon resembling a finger pressing a button will appear on the system tray (the indented portion of the status bar where the clock is displayed). When you see this icon you will know that the LifeBook Application Panel is active.

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, we have provided the Application Panel Setup utility that quickly and easily helps you make the most of this valuable feature.

To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with Application Panel Setup:

1.Click on Start.

2.Click on Programs.

3.Click on LifeBook Application Panel.

4.Click on Application Panel Setup.

The Application Panel Setup utility will appear. There are tabs that correspond to the application buttons on the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your LifeBook notebook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch specific programs. (See Specifications on page 91 for more information).
