Display Panel

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

OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL

1. Press the Display Panel latch. 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 LifeBook 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, by using the keyboard or the
power management utility.
Using the Keyboard
Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the
setting only temporarily.
[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the
brightness of your display.
[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the
brightness of the display.
P O I N T
When using AC power your brightness setting is set to
its highest level by default. When using battery power
your brightness setting is set to approximately mid-level
by default.

Using the Power Management Utility
(Windows 2000 only)
Adjusting the brightness using the Power Management
changes the setting permanently.
1. Double-click the BatteryAid icon
right corner of your display. This will open the
BatteryAid Properties dialog box.
2. Select the Power Control tab and adjust your
LCD Backlighting to the desired level.
3. Click OK or Apply to permanently change
the settings.
You may need to readjust the brightness level periodi-
cally depending on your operating environment.
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.

CLOSING THE DISPLAY PANEL

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