LifeBook Security/
Application Panel
A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the
Security/Application Panel that allows you to secure your
notebook from unauthorized use. The Security/
Application Panel also allows you to launch applications
with the touch of a button when your system is on.
If the security system is activated, upon starting your
LifeBook notebook or resuming from suspend mode the
security system requires you to enter a password code
using the buttons on the Security/Application Panel.
After entering a correct password, your LifeBook
notebook resumes system operation. (Figure 2-19)
