4. LifeBook Application Panel

A unique feature of your LifeBook notebook is the Life-Book Application Panel. This panel allows you
to operate the CD player drive either as an independent audio CD player or to launch applications
with the touch of one button.
Critical Point
LifeBook Application Panel uses the date and time settings of your LifeBook notebook. If the
date and time are incorrect, you can adjust this setting in the Windows Control Panel.
The CD 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 the Start menu, under Programs, then
under LifeBook Application Panel. They include a CD Player, Restart Application Panel, Software
Instructions and Stop Application Panel. The LifeBook Application Panel system makes your LifeBook
notebook 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.
The buttons can be locked and unlocked by pressing either of the selector switch positions for four
seconds or longer (The green LCD lit on the selector switch will turn off). When the selector switch is
in Lock mode, the buttons are disabled and do nothing when pressed.

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.

Configuring your Lifebook Application Panel

When you start your system, the LifeBook Application Panel is automatically activated.
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.
