LifeBook Application/
Media Player Panel
A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the Life-
Book Application Panel. The LifeBook Application Panel
makes your LifeBook notebook more than just another
computer. This panel allows you to launch applications
with the touch of one button or to operate the optical
drive as an independent audio media player.
■ The LifeBook Application Panel uses the
date and time settings of your LifeBook
notebook. If the date and time are
incorrect, you can adjust the settings in
the Windows Control Panel.
The media player that your LifeBook
■
notebook uses is determined by the
configuration of your system.
Your LifeBook notebook is pre-installed with software
utilities that let you operate and configure your LifeBook
Application Panel. These utilities are found under
[Start] -> Control Panel -> Application Panel.
The panel consists of the following elements:

MODE BUTTON

Located adjacent to the brightness button, the mode
button allows you to select the function of the panel
either as an Application Launcher or a media player.
When you press the Mode button, the button label will
change. If Application mode is selected, "Application"
will appear above the button; if Media mode is selected,
"Media" will appear below the button.

in Suspend mode or Power Off mode. It cannot be
turned off in Suspend mode, but in Power Off mode, it
can be turned off by pressing and holding the Power/
Suspend/Resume button for four or more seconds.
APPLICATION LAUNCH/
MEDIA PLAYER BUTTONS
When Application mode is active, pressing any of the
four application buttons (A, B, Internet, or Mail) will

selected, the buttons operate the media player.

CONFIGURING THE APPLICATION PANEL

When you start your system, the LifeBook Application
Panel is automatically activated. As an application
launcher, the LifeBook Application Panel is very flexible,
giving you a variety of options. To set up the panel to
best suit your needs, the Application Panel Setup utility
will quickly and easily help you make the most of this
valuable feature.
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with
the Application Panel Setup utility:
1. Click on [Start] -> Control Panel. (Note that
depending upon the View you are using, you may
need to click Settings before clicking Control Panel).
3. Double-click on Application Panel. The Application
Panel Setup utility will appear.
The utility window has tabs that correspond to the
application buttons on the application panel. When you
receive your notebook, these buttons are pre-configured
to launch specific programs. (See Specifications on
page 89 for more information).
