When you use your Tablet PC, you can change the current system state in a number of ways, depending on the system’s current state. To determine the current system state, observe the Power icon in the Status display. Table 2-1 on page 25 gives the different system states represented by the Power icon and describes how you can change the system state from the current state.

POWERING UP THE TABLET PC

Follow the procedure below to start your Tablet PC. Before you begin, confirm that the system is in the Off state. To do so, observe the Status display. If the Power icon is not visible in the Status display, the system is in Off state or in Hibernate mode and it is safe to perform this procedure. If the Power icon is visible (either blinking or on continuously), do not perform this procedure. See “System States” earlier in this chapter for details on modes represented by the Power icon.

1.Ensure that the battery in your Tablet PC is sufficiently charged, or connect an external power source such as the AC adapter or auto adapter to your Tablet PC.

2.Press the Power On/Suspend/Resume button to start the system.

After performing initialization, the system starts the operating system installed on the hard disk drive. Once the operating system is running, you can use the system.

BOOTING THE SYSTEM THE FIRST TIME

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.

When you turn on your tablet for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Depending upon your operating system (Windows Vista or XP edition), there is a different procedure for stating your system for the first time, as outlined below.

Starting Windows Vista the first time

The first time you initialize your Windows

Vista system, the screen will be blank for

approximately two minutes. This is normal. After initialization, a “Set Up Windows” dialog box will appear.

Important: During the setup procedure, do not disconnect the power supply, press any buttons, or use any peripheral devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or remote control.

In order to ensure that you receive the most benefits from the Windows Vista operating system, it should be registered the first time you use it.

1.First of all, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs).

If you reject the terms of the license agreements you will be asked to review the license agreements for information on returning Windows or to shut down your Tablet PC.

You cannot use your tablet until you have accepted the License Agreements. If you stop the process your tablet will return to the beginning of the Windows Welcome Process, even if you shut your tablet down and start it up again..

2.You will be prompted to enter your User Name and Password and you will be given a chance to select an icon for your account.

3.The next screen asks for a Computer Name and allows you to choose a desktop background.

4.You will next see a "Help protect Windows automat- ically" screen in which the default choice is "Use recommended settings”. The other two choices are "Install important updates only" and "Ask me later". Select from the three choices.

5.On the next screen set your time and date settings.

6.You will next see the "Select your computer's current location" screen. Make your selection from Home, Work (Default), and Public location.

7.The "Thank you" screen follows and an offer for free Norton Internet Security is extended. Following are several screens while Windows checks the system performance.

8.Windows will then boot up for the first time. After the first boot, press [Execute] to install the Primary Settings. This will take several minutes.

9.After the Primary Settings are installed, reboot the system again.

Registering Windows Vista with Microsoft

1.After Windows has booted up for the first time, the Control Panel Welcome Center will appear. If the Register Windows Online icon is not seen in the window, click on “Show all xx items” (where “xx” is the number of topics in the Welcome Center).

2.Click on Register Windows Online and follow the instructions that appear to register your copy of Windows.
