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; each of the
buttons serves a dual purpose.
The Application/Media Player panel is located to the
right of the keyboard.
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.

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
