Application Panel

One of the unique features of your LifeBook is the Life- Book Application Panel. This panel allows you to launch applications with the touch of a button when your system is actively running or in suspend mode.

Your LifeBook is pre-installed with software utilities that you use to operate and configure your LifeBook Applica- tion Panel. These utilities are found in the Start menu, under Settings -> Control Panel -> Application Panel. (For Windows XP users, it’s in Start -> Control Panel -> Application Panel.) They include Application Panel Setup, E-mail LED Setup, and Internet Setup. The Life- Book Application Panel makes your LifeBook more than just another notebook computer.

The panel consists of the following elements:

APPLICATION LAUNCH BUTTONS

There are two application launch buttons. When these are selected, user-defined applications will be launched. You can customize these buttons to open whichever applications you want when they are pressed. Note that although there is an Internet Setup tab in the Applica- tion Panel Setup window, there is no Internet-assigned button in this LifeBook model.

E-MAIL NOTIFICATION LED

By setting up the E-mail LED notification in conjunc- tion with your E-mail button setup, you can connect to your ISP, check for and retrieve new mail, terminate connection, and activate the E-mail LED to notify that

new mail has arrived.

P O I N T

The E-mail button can be configured to launch any application you wish, not just an e-mail program.

To use the E-mail LED notification, you must have access to a POP3 Server with no Security Password Authentication. Contact your service provider to deter- mine if they support POP3 without Security Password Authentication.

DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL

To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with the Application Panel Setup:

1.Click on Start.

2.(Windows 2000 only) Click on Settings.

3.Click on Control Panel.

4.Click on Application Panel.

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 notebook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch specific applications. For a list of the default applications associated with each button, refer to (See Application Launcher Defaults on page 86 for more information).

P O I N T

The tabs in Application Panel Setup may not be in the same order as the buttons on your LifeBook. Please carefully select the tab you wish to change.

To change an application associated with the Application A, Application B, or E-mail buttons, click on the tab for the button you would like to reconfigure – for example, Application A. Click on Go To Start Menu, scroll down the list of applications, click on the application you wish to launch with this button, and then click OK. The button will now launch the new application.

When you have finished with Application Panel Setup click on OK, and the new settings will take effect. You
