TERTIARY FUNCTIONS OF APPLICATION AND NAVIGATION BUTTONS

While you are booting up your system, the Application Buttons and Navigation buttons can be used for entering and navigating through the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS), and for invoking the Advanced Options Menu, where you can enter different modes (such as Safe Mode).

The BIOS is a program and a set of parameters that are stored in ROM which tests and operates your pen tablet PC from when you turn it on until it loads your installed

operating system from disk. Information from the BIOS is transferred to the operating system to provide it with information on the configuration and status of the hard- ware.

The system is booting up while the Fujitsu logo is displayed immediately after turning on the system. The table below indicates how the buttons act while the system is booting up and while you are in the BIOS.
