FUJITSU TABLET CONTROLS -

CD/DVD DRIVE HELP

The CD/DVD Drive tab of the Fujitsu Tablet Controls utility allows you to enable or disable your DVD drive when the Tablet PC is used in “undocked” (i.e., not

connected to a port replicator) tablet mode.

The DVD drive in your Tablet PC is designed to work optimally when the system is lying flat on a stable surface. Using the drive while the system is not on a flat surface could result in damage to the drive and/or the media. SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER YOUR WARRANTY. You are strongly advised not to use the drive while the system is in undocked tablet mode. This feature is in effect only when the user is logged-in.

Using the Optical Drive Disabling Feature

The CD/DVD tab of the Fujitsu Tablet Controls window consists of three checkboxes:

Lock CD/DVD drive when the unit is in tablet mode

Show tray icon when CD/DVD drive is locked.

Show notification messages when CD/DVD drive is locked/unlocked

Lock CD/DVD drive when the unit is in tablet mode:

This checkbox should normally be checked (see “Impor- tant Notes” above). If you would like to access the DVD drive while your system is in undocked tablet mode, deselect this checkbox. A message will appear asking if you really want to unlock the drive. Click [OK] to keep the checkbox checked, or [Cancel] to uncheck it and return to the utility.

Show tray icon when CD/DVD drive is locked:

This checkbox should normally be checked. If you would not like the Fujitsu Tablet Controls icon to appear in the system tray when the drive is locked, clear this box.
