Display Panel

Your 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. Your system has either a 14.1" or a
15" display panel. The 15" model is illustrated
throughout this document.

OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL

1. Slide the latch located at the top of the display panel
to the right. 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.

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, keyboard and power management
utility.
P O I N T
The higher the brightness level, the more power the
LifeBook notebook will consume and the faster your
batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, set
the brightness to as low a level as possible.
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.

CLOSING THE DISPLAY PANEL

forward until it is flush with the body of your
LifeBook notebook.

the locking mechanism and prevent your display
