Your Fujitsu LifeBook contains a display panel that is
backlit for easier viewing in bright environments and
maintains top resolution through the use of active-
matrix technology.

This releases the locking mechanism and raises
the display slightly.
2. Lift the display panel backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable
viewing angle.

ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS

Once you have turned o n your LifeBook, you may want
to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more
comfortable viewing level. There are two ways to adjust
the brightness keyboard and power management utility
Keyboard

brightness of your display.
[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the
brightness of the display.
Power Management Utility
(only in models with Windows 98 Second Edition)
1. Double-click on the PMSet icon in the lower right
corner of your display.
2. Slide the brightness control bar to the right to
increase brightness or left to decrease brightness.
You may need to readjust the brightness level periodi-
cally depending on your operating environment.

CLOSING THE DISPLAY PANEL

1. Holding the edge of your display panel, pull
it forward until it is flush with the body of
your LifeBook.

engage the locking mechanism and prevent
your display panel from opening unexpectedly.

POINT
If using AC power, your LifeBook’s brightness setting is
set to its highest level by default. If using battery power,
the brightness setting is set to its middle level by
default.
POINT
The higher the brightness level, the more power the
LifeBook will consume and the faster your batteries will
discharge. For maximum battery life, set the brightness
level as low as possible.
