wish to use, press the F10 key and select [Yes] when
asked if you want to save the configuration and exit.
BIOS Guide
A guide to your LifeBook notebook's BIOS is available
online. Please visit our service and support web site at
http://us.fujitsu.com/computers. Once there, click on
the Support link, then select Notebooks under User's
Guides in the side bar. Select LifeBook BIOS Guides
from the pull-down menu for your LifeBook model.
If your data security settings require it, you
may be asked for a password before the
BIOS main menu will appear.

BOOTING THE SYSTEM

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external
devices or put a DVD/CD in your drive until you have
gone through the initial power-on sequence.
When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first
time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you
do nothing the system will load the operating system,
and then the Windows Welcome will begin.
Designed to accommodate the needs of many users, in
many different countries, Windows needs to be config-
ured the first time you use them. Windows has two
parts:
Getting Started: You have the opportunity to review
■
the Windows License Agreement, to enter custom
information for your system, and to set up your
modem so that your LifeBook notebook will be
prepared to dial out.
Registration: Easy online registration for Windows
■
with Microsoft.

You may click Cancel at any time within
this process to shut down Windows. You
may restart this process at any time in the
future, but you must complete it in order
to use your computer.
Getting Started
Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill
in the information as directed. You will be asked to read
the Windows End User License Agreement. When you
finish reading you must accept or reject the terms of the
agreement.
If you reject the terms of the License
Agreement you will be returned to the
beginning of the Windows Welcome Pro-
cess, even if you shut your notebook
down and start it up again.
You will then be asked for such items as the language you
wish to use, the country in which you live, your first and
last name, and about how you dial out from where you
will be using your LifeBook notebook. For the modem
settings, enter your current location information where
you will be using your LifeBook notebook. If you are not
connected to a phone line and plan to register at a later
time, you may click the Skip button.
Once you have set up your LifeBook notebook to dial
out, Windows will make a free telephone call to test the
settings. If the call is unsuccessful, you will be returned
to the phone settings page where you may try to fix
them. If you are unable to fix the settings please contact
Fujitsu Service and Support. (See Fujitsu Contact Infor-
mation on page 3 for more information) If you would
simply like to move on, and register at a later time, you
may click the Skip button.
Windows Registration
If your connection is successful, you will receive an
acknowledgement from Microsoft that your registration
was successful.

after making significant configuration changes), it may
be necessary to reactivate the operating system. To do so,
