ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS

Once you have turned on your system, you may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more comfortable viewing level. There are three ways to adjust the brightness, keyboard, power management utility, and Fujitsu menu.

Using Keyboard to Adjust Brightness

Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the system setting (i.e., the settings you make via the func- tion keys automatically changes the brightness settings in the system’s Brightness Control settings).

■[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display.

■[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the brightness of the display.

Using Control Panel to Adjust Brightness

Windows XP Pro:

To adjust brightness with the power management utility, click Start -> Control Panel -> Brightness Control. Set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios.

Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

To adjust brightness with the Tablet and Pen Settings utility, click Start -> Control Panel -> Tablet and Pen Settings, then select the Display tab.

Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust Brightness

To adjust brightness using the Fujitsu menu, click on the Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, select Brightness Control. The Brightness Control window will open. Set the screen brightness slider for battery and AC power scenarios.

If using AC power, your brightness setting is set to its highest level by default. If using battery power your brightness settings is set to approximately mid-level by default.

The higher the brightness level, the more power the LifeBook P1600 Series notebook will consume and the faster your batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, make sure that the brightness is set as low as possible.
