LifeBook Application
Panel
A unique feature of your Fujitsu LifeBook is the Life-
Book Application Panel. This panel allows you to
operate the DVD drive as an independent audio CD
Player or launch applications with the touch of one
button.
P O I N T
LifeBook Application Panel uses the date and time
settings of your LifeBook. If the date and time are off,
you can adjust this setting in the Windows Control
Panel.
Your LifeBook is pre-installed with software utilities that
let you operate and configure your LifeBook Application
Panel. These utilities are found under the Start menu,
under Programs, then under LifeBook Application
Panel. They include a CD Player, Application Panel
Setup, Application Panel Guide, Activate Panel and
Deactivate Panel. The LifeBook Application Panel
system makes your LifeBook more than just another
notebook computer.
The panel consists of the following elements:
SELECTOR SWITCH
Located at the far left of the panel, this switch allows you
to select the function of the panel—either as an Applica-
tion Launcher, a CD Player, or as a lock. Set the switch to
the middle position when the Application Launcher
buttons are not being used.

APPLICATION LAUNCH CD PLAYER BUTTONS
When the selector switch is in the Application position,
pressing any of the buttons will launch a user-defined
application. When the selector switch is in the CD Player
position, the buttons operate the CD player, and when
the selector switch is in the Lock position, the buttons
are disabled and do nothing when pressed.
CONFIGURING YOUR LIFEBOOK
APPLICATION PANEL
When you start Windows 98 Second Edition, the Life-
Book Application Panel is automatically activated. An
icon resembling a finger pressing a button will appear on
the system tray (the indented portion of the status bar
where the clock is displayed). When you see this icon
you will know that the LifeBook Application Panel is
active.
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, we have provided
the Application Panel Setup utility that quickly and easily
helps you make the most of this valuable feature.
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with
Application Panel Setup:
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Click on LifeBook Application Panel.
4. Click on Application Panel Setup.
The Application Panel Setup utility will appear. There
are tabs that correspond to the application buttons on
the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your
LifeBook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch the
following programs:
