CONNECTING DEVICES

Once your system is installed in the Tablet Dock, you are ready to attach external devices to the dock.

To Attach an External VGA Monitor

This option allows you to use an external monitor with your system. The only requirement is that the external device (monitor, projector) is a VGA device. Consult the instructions that come with the device.

1.Securely insert the external monitor plug into the display port on the back of the Tablet Dock (Figure 2). Always check the icon by the port before inserting. Tighten screws if available.

2.You may switch between the internal monitor and external monitor using the Display Configuration utility located in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen, or through the Control Panel settings.

To Attach a USB device

Use of the USB ports allows attaching USB devices to a docked system.

1.Securely insert the connector into one of the three USB ports on the left side of the Tablet Dock (Figure 2). It may be necessary to wait a short time while the appropriate drivers are located and installed by the system.

To Attach an IEEE 1394 device

The IEEE 1394 jack allows attaching peripherals such as digital cameras to a docked system.

1.Securely insert the connector into the IEEE 1394 jack on the left side of the Tablet Dock (Figure 2).

Refer to the device manufacturer’s installation and usage instructions for configuration instructions.

To Attach External Audio Equipment

The Tablet Dock provides a Line Out jack for head- phones or external speakers.

P O I N T

Connecting external speakers (including headphones) or microphone disables the system’s internal speaker or internal microphone.

1.To attach an external audio device, insert the plug into the Line Out jack on the back of the Tablet Dock (Figure 2).

To Attach a LAN Device

The LAN (RJ-45) jack allows you to connect the system’s internal Fast Ethernet to a LAN, or broadband devices such as a cable modem, DSL, or satellite internet.

1.To attach a LAN device, insert the plug into the LAN (RJ-45) jack on the back of the Tablet Dock.

Refer to the device manufacturer’s installation and usage instructions for configuration instructions.

USING THE INTERNAL MEDIA DRIVE

The Tablet Dock is outfitted with either a CD-ROM drive or a Combo DVD/CD-RW drive, depending upon the configuration of your dock. A CD-ROM drive allows you to access software, data, or audio CDs. A DVD/CD- RW combo drive allows you to access movies, audio, software, data, or audio DVD/CDs, and to write data onto recordable CDs.

CD-ROM drive

All of the software you need to run the CD-ROM drive is already installed on the ST4000 system. The drive will work as soon as the system is docked and powered up.

Combo DVD/CD-RW drive

Packaged with the Tablet Dock is a CD that contains the applications required to run the DVD and CD/RW features. The combo drive will only act as a CD-ROM drive until you install the additional software. To install the additional software, refer to the instructions on the CD.

The instructions for installing and removing disks is the same for both drives. For information about the soft- ware’s features and capabilities, refer to the help files associated with the related applications.

P O I N T S

Prolonged use of the media drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your battery life if no other power source is attached. Be sure to attach an AC Adapter when using the Tablet Dock for prolonged tasks.

You should periodically check the Fujitsu Web site at www.fujitsupc.com for current updated drivers.

All Fujitsu DVD players are set to play DVD titles with region code number 1 which is specified for the North American market. The region number is a regional restriction code defined by the DVD Forum acting on the requirements of Hollywood. Different region codes are recorded on video DVD titles for publication in different areas of the world. If the regional code of the DVD player does not match the regional codes on the titles, then playback is impos- sible.

You can change the region code on the DVD player using the Properties menu of the DVD software. Note, however, that you can only change the region code up to four times. After the fourth change, the last region code entered becomes permanent, and cannot be changed.
