Display Panel
Your Fujitsu LifeBook Series notebook contains a display
panel that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environ-
ments and maintains top resolution through the use of
active-matrix technology.

OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL

1. Press the latch located at the top of the display panel.
This releases the locking mechanism and raises
the display slightly.
2. Lift the display backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable
viewing angle. (Figure 3-2)

ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS

Once you have turned on your notebook, you may want
to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more
comfortable viewing level. There are two ways to adjust
the brightness keyboard and power management utility
Keyboard
■[FN+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the
brightness of your display.
■[FN+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the
brightness of the display.
Power Management Utility
1. Double-click on the PMSet icon in the lower right
corner of your display.
2. Slide the brightness control bar to the right to
increase brightness or left to decrease brightness.
You may need to readjust the brightness level periodi-
cally depending on your operating environment.

CLOSING THE DISPLAY PANEL

1. Holding the edge of your display panel, pull
it forward until it is flush with the body of
your notebook.
2. Push down until you hear a click. This will
engage the locking mechanism and prevent
your display panel from opening unexpectedly.

POINT
If using AC power your brightness setting is set to it’s
highest level by default. If using battery power your
brightness settings is set to it’s lowest level by default.

The higher the brightness level, the more power the
notebook will consume and the faster your batteries
will discharge. For maximum battery life, make sure
that the brightness is set as low as possible.
