FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF FIRE, REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE AND RATING FUSE.

Recycling your battery

Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.

Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a nonprofit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.

RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org or call 1-800-822-8837.

If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/) and search for a convenient disposal location.

Remember - protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.

• To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com in the US or www.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks in Canada.

** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with Fujitsu.

Figure 8. Keyboard

Using the Keyboard

Your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK notebook has an integral 84-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys.

• Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to toggle between the standard character and numerical keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key.

• Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the right, left, up, or down within windows, applications and documents.

• Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12], are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce special actions that vary depending on what program is running.

• Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows operating system. These keys switch between desktop and Modern Start screen modes and open the Application bar on the bottom of the screen.

Numeric Keypad

Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition (+) , subtraction (-) , multiplication () , or division (/) , and enter decimal points (.) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.

Windows Keys

Your LIFEBOOK notebook has two Windows keys, consisting of a Windows key and an Application key. The Windows key switches between the Modern Start screen and the desktop. The Application key opens the Application bar located at the bottom of the screen. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for additional information regarding the Windows keys.)

Cursor Keys

The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows File/Explorer, it moves the "focus" (selects the next item up, down, left, or right).

Function Keys

Your notebook has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ for each application. You should refer to your software documentation to find out how these keys are used.

Touchpad Pointing Device

Figure 9. Touchpad pointing device

The Touchpad pointing device built into your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK is used to control the movement of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, left and right buttons, and a fingerprint/scroll sensor.

The cursor control works the same as a mouse, and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function the same as mouse buttons.

The fingerprint/scroll sensor can be used either for fingerprint security or for scrolling through pages, without having to use the scroll bars.

• TO READ ABOUT USING THE FINGERPRINT SENSOR, SEE "INTRODUCING THE FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICE" ON PAGE 162.
• AN EXTERNAL MOUSE CAN BE CONNECTED TO USB PORTS ON YOUR LIFEBOOK OR THE OPTIONAL PORT REPLICATOR, AND USED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE TOUCHPAD. NOTE: IF YOU BOOT THE SYSTEM WITH AN EXTERNAL MOUSE CONNECTED THE TOUCHPAD WILL BE DISABLED OR ENABLED DEPENDING ON YOUR BIOS SETTINGS. See "Entering the BIOS Setup Utility" on page 50.

Clicking

Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then immediately release it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad once.

Double-Clicking

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button. To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button twice, and immediately release it. You can also perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.

Dragging

Dragging means pressing and holding the left button, while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the item to its new location and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new location by moving your finger across the Touchpad, and then release your finger.

Touchpad Control Adjustment

The Windows Control Panel allows you to customize your Touchpad with selections made from within the Mouse Properties dialog box.

Scrolling

Using the fingerprint/scroll sensor allows you to navigate through a document quickly without using the window's scroll bars. This is particularly useful when you are navigating through on-line pages. To use the scroll sensor, slide your finger up or down on the sensor to scroll up or down a page. When you have reached the desired section of the page, release the sensor.

The sensor can also be used as a fingerprint recognition device. See "Introducing the Fingerprint Sensor Device" on page 162.

Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.

ANY SOFTWARE THAT CONTAINS AUDIO FILES WILL ALSO CONTAIN A VOLUME CONTROL OF ITS OWN. IF YOU INSTALL AN EXTERNAI AUDIO DEVICE THAT HAS AN INDEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROL, THE HARDWARE VOLUME CONTROL AND THE SOFTWARE VOLUME CONTROL WILL INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF YOU SET YOUR SOFTWARE VOLUME TO OFF, YOU WILL OVERRIDE THE EXTERNAI VOLUME CONTROL SETTING.

Controlling the Volume

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

• Volume can be changed or muted from within the Volume Control in the system tray.
• Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9] functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your notebook.
• Volume can be muted by pressing the [F3] key while holding down the [Fn] key. To restore audio, repeat the [Fn+F3] procedure.
• Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications.
  Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume controls.

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources.

We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

Flexible Bay Devices

Your notebook has a Flexible Bay that can house one of several devices. Your Flexible Bay will have one of the following devices installed.

• Modular Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer: This allows you to access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs and record to DVD, CD, and DVD-RAM discs.
• Modular Blu-ray® RW drive: This allows you to access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs and Blu-ray discs as well as to write to Blu-ray discs.
• Modular Lithium ion battery: This is a rechargeable battery that can be used to power your LIFEBOOK notebook when an adapter is not connected.
• Weight Saver: This is used to fill the bay when no device is needed.

Removing and Installing Modular Devices

There are two ways to remove and install modular devices in the Flexible Bay:

Cold-swapping: swapping devices while your LIFEBOOK notebook is powered off.
- Hot-swapping: swapping devices while your system is active using the Safely Remove Hardware icon from your system tray.

• YOU SHOULD NEVER LEAVE YOUR FLEXIBLE BAY EMPTY WHEN THE NOTEBOOK IS IN OPERATION. IF LEFT EMPTY, DUST OR FOREIGN MATTER MAY ACCUMULATE INSIDE THE NOTEBOOK.
  BE CAREFUL WHEN SEATING DEVICES IN THE BAY. IF THE FIT IS INCORRECT, YOU MAY DAMAGE THE BAY OR THE DEVICE. IF THE DEVICE DOES NOT MOVE EASILY IN THE BAY, REMOVE IT, AND CHECK FOR DIRT OR FOREIGN OBJECTS. IT WILL REQUIRE A FIRM PUSH TO LATCH THE DEVICE IN PLACE.

Cold-swapping

To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay follow these easy steps:

1 Close any open files.
2 Shut down your LIFEBOOK notebook.
3 Pull out the Flexible Bay release latch. This will push your device out slightly, allowing you to remove it.
4 Slide your device out until it is clear of the bay. This will require light force.
5 Slide the device you are installing into your notebook until it clicks into place.
6 It is now safe to turn your notebook back on.
7 You can now access and use the device.

Figure 11. Removing a Device from the Flexible Bay

Your LIFEBOOK notebook will automatically detect the new device and activate it within your system. The drive letters associated with the device will be created and listed under My Computer and Windows File/Explorer.

Hot-swapping

Hot-swapping is provided through the Safely Remove Hardware utility. The icon for the utility appears in the system tray. Click on the icon and follow the on-screen instructions.

Figure 12. LIFEBOOK Security/Application Panel

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 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 notebook resumes system operation.

Setting up Your LIFEBOOK Security Panel

When you receive your LIFEBOOK notebook, the security panel application is pre-installed without any passwords. The following sections provide detailed information on your security panel, and how to set, change or remove passwords.

Numbered Buttons

Use these buttons to enter your password.

Enter Button

After entering the button strokes, push this button to enter the password into the LIFEBOOK notebook.

Passwords

User and supervisor passwords may be set on this notebook. A supervisor password is typically the same for all notebooks in a working group, office, or company to allow for system management. Individual notebooks in a group environment should not use a common password. A password consists of one to five button strokes plus the [Enter] button. A valid stroke consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simultaneously. The following are valid strokes:

• Pushing [4] by itself
• Pushing [2] and [3] at the same time
• Pushing [1], [2], and [4] at the same time
• Pushing [1], [2], [3], and [4] at the same time

The following are valid passwords. The numbers within braces are button strokes using more than one button.

[2] + [3] ，[1]，[enter]
[4], [enter]
·{[1]+[3]},{[2]+[3]+[4]},[1],[4],[2],[enter]

Setting Passwords

When shipped from the factory, no passwords are set. You have a choice of having no password or setting supervisor and user passwords. You must set the supervisor password before the user password.

THE PURPOSE OF SUPERVISOR PASSWORD IS TO BE ABLE TO BYPASS THE USER PASSWORD IN CASE THE USER PASSWORD IS FORGOTTEN. THE SUPERVISOR PASSWORD ALONE WILL NOT LOCK THE SYSTEM. YOU MUST SET BOTH THE SUPERVISOR AND USER PASSWORDS FOR THE SECURITY PANEL TO WORK.

Setting Supervisor Password

You must have set a supervisor password before setting any user passwords. The supervisor password can bypass the user password. Depending upon your operating system, use the appropriate procedure below.

Windows 7:

1 Go to the Start menu.
2 Select All Programs.
3 Select Accessories, then select Run.
4 Type in: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\Security Panel Application\Supervisor\FJSECS.EXE, then press [Enter]
5 Follow the on-screen instructions to set the Supervisor password.

Windows 8:

1 Go to start screen
2 Right click on start screen
3 Click "All Apps", then select "Run" from the list
4 Type in: C:\Program Files\Fujitsu\Security Panel Application\Supervisor\FJSECS.EXE, then press [Enter]
5 Follow the on-screen instructions to set the Supervisor password.

Setting User Password

Windows 7:

1 Go to the Start menu and select All Programs.
2 Select Security Panel Application and Set User Password.
3 Follow instructions to set the user password.

Windows 8:

1 Go to start screen
2 Right click on start screen
3 Click "All Apps", then select "Security Panel Application".

YOU MAY CHANGE OR REMOVE THE SUPERVISOR OR USER PASSWORD BY REPEATING THE STEPS DEFINED ABOVE.

Operating Your LIFEBOOK Security/Application Panel

The security lock feature is in effect both when the system resumes from Off or Hibernation state. You will need to enter the user password right after pressing the Suspend/Resume button. Your system will not begin the boot sequence until you enter your supervisor/user password.

From Off State

1 Turn on your system.
2 When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the password and press [Enter] button. For example, if the password is 22222, press button number [2] five times and press [Enter] button. The notebook will boot to normal operation.

From Highbate State

1 Press your Power/Suspend/Resume button.
2 When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the password and press [Enter] button. The notebook should resume normal operation.

Incorrect Password Entry

If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three times in succession, the system will "beep" for about one minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute (while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the notebook will resume normal operation. If no password (or an invalid one) is entered while the system beeps, the system will return to its previous locked state (suspend or off) and the Security Indicator will go off. To reactivate the notebook after a password failure, you must press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password.

REMEMBER THE USER PASSWORD YOU SPECIFIED ON THE SECURITY PANEL APPLICATION. IF YOU FORGET THE PASSWORD YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE YOUR COMPUTER. THE SUPERVISOR PASSWORD CAN OVERRIDE THE USER PASSWORD.

Precautions

Opening and Closing the Cover

Closing the cover automatically places the notebook into suspend mode. Opening the cover does not automatically place the notebook into normal operation. Instead, you must enter the proper security password after pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button. This setting can be changed in the Power Options Control Panel.

Low Battery Operations

If your notebook has low battery, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button only turns on the Security Indicator. Your notebook does not unlock, the Security Indicator turns off after one minute. To resume normal operation, first attach a power supply to the notebook. Then you may unlock the notebook.

Uninstalling the Security Panel Application

You have two options when uninstalling the security panel application:

• Uninstall the security panel application software. This will disable all security features.
• Uninstall security panel application with password still active. This won't allow any password changes.

Uninstalling the Security Panel Software

Remove passwords when the User wants no password protection whatsoever and doesn't want to give anybody the utility to set a password on their computer. In this case, if passwords (supervisor, user, or both) are set, the passwords must first be cleared BEFORE removing the application. To clear passwords, follow same procedure in "Setting Passwords" except this time, select [Remove], enter current password then click [Next]. When asked to confirm, select [Yes].

Removing Security Panel Application with Passwords Still Active

Using this feature will not allow any changes to the password.

REMOVING THE APPLICATIONS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PASSWORD. IT SIMPLY REMOVS THE UTILITY TO CHANGE/ADD/REMOVE PASSWORDS. TO CHANGE A PASSWORD YOU MUST REINSTALL THE APPLICATION.

User:

1 (Windows 8): Go to start screen. Type Control Panel, then click on Control Panel from the search results.
2 (Windows 7) Go to Start Menu, Click on Control Panel.

Figure 14. Opening the Display Panel

Display Panel

Your Fujitsu 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.

Opening the Display Panel

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 three ways to adjust the brightness, by using the keyboard, the Power Options, or the Windows Mobility Center.

Using the 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.

Using the Power Options

To change the brightness using the Power Options utility, open the Control Panel and select one of the icon views in the View by: window. Click on the Power Options icon. Drag the brightness bar at the bottom of the screen to the desired level. Note that the settings you make via this utility become permanent until you decide to change them again.

Using the Windows Mobility Center

In the Control Panel, double-click the Windows Mobility Center icon. Drag the Display Brightness bar to the desired level.

• WHEN USING AC POWER YOUR BRIGHTNESS SETTING IS SET TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL BY DEFAULT. WHEN USING BATTERY POWER YOUR BRIGHTNESS SETTING IS SET TO APPROXIMATELY MID-LEVEL BY DEFAULT.
• THE HIGHER THE BRIGHTNESS LEVEL, THE MORE POWER THE NOTEBOOK WILL CONSUME AND THE FASTER YOUR BATTERIES WILL DISCHARGE. FOR MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE, MAKE SURE THAT THE BRIGHTNESS IS SET AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.

Closing the Display Panel

To close the display, hold the edge of the display panel and pull it forward until it is flush with the body of your LIFEBOOK notebook.

Using Multiple Displays Simultaneously

With your system, it is possible to use three different displays at the same time. Depending upon your system and optional port replicator configurations, all port types represented in the chart below may not be available. The port types supported by the three-display feature include:

• DisplayPort (on the system)
• DisplayPort (on the port replicator)
  VGA port (on the port replicator)
• DVI port (on the port replicator)

The available 3-display combinations for this system are shown the chart below:

	System Display/Ports Port Replicator Ports
	System LCD	DisplayPort	VGA	DisplayPort	DVI	VGA
1	XXXX
2		XXXX
3		X		X		X

Once you have connected two external displays to your system/port replicator, the Active Display menu will appear in Graphics property from which you can select three displays.

Starting Your LIFEBOOK Notebook

Power On

Power/Suspend/Resume Button

The Power and Suspend/Resume button is used to power on your LIFEBOOK notebook, to resume from Sleep or Save-to-Disk mode or to place your notebook in Sleep or Save-to-Disk mode. (You can also use the button to power down the system by holding it down for approximately five seconds. This can be useful if the system is "hung up". This shouldn't be used as the normal means of shutdown, however.) You can also turn off your notebook by using the following method: from Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows] + C or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the screen), then click [Settings] -> [Power] Select Shutdown from the list.

WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK, BE SURE YOU HAVE A POWER SOURCE. THIS MEANS THAT A BATTERY IS INSTALLED AND CHARGED, OR THAT THE AC OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER IS CONNECTED AND HAS POWER.

To turn on your LIFEBOOK notebook from its off state, press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, located above the keyboard to the right. When you are done working you can either leave your notebook in Suspend mode (see "Sleep Mode" on page 52), or you can turn it off (see "Powering Off" on page 54).

DO NOT CARRY YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK AROUND WITH THE POWER ON OR SUBJECT IT TO SHOCKS OR VIBRATION, AS YOU RISK DAMAGING YOUR NOTEBOOK.

When you power on your LIFEBOOK, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LIFEBOOK notebook will emit an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See "Power On Self Test Messages" on page 94. Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the POST, your notebook will load your operating system.

NEVER TURN OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN ERRORMESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN YOU TURN YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK ON THE NEXT TIME. See "Power On Self Test Messages" on page 94.

Boot Sequence

The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook's BIOS. When your notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your notebook. This information is in the BIOS program. When you power up or restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is found. During booting, your notebook perform a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence completes without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system's opening screen.

The boot sequence is executed when:

• You turn on the power to your LIFEBOOK notebook.
• You restart your LIFEBOOK notebook from [Settings] -> [Power] menu.
• The software initiates a system restart. Example: When you install a new application.

Hard Disk Drive Passwords

To provide additional security for your data, you can assign passwords to your hard disk drive(s). This feature is managed in the system BIOS Setup Utility. See BIOS Setup Utility below for information about accessing the utility.

REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORDS. IF YOU SET AND FORGET YOUR USER AND MASTER HARD DISK PASSWORDS, FUJITSU AMERICA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESET IT. YOU MAY LOSE DATA AND HAVE TO REPLACE YOUR SYSTEM BOARD OR HARD DISK DRIVE.

BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility sets up the operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS' environment to operate your notebook.

The BIOS Setup Utility also allows you to configure such features as the System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.

Entering the BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following:

1 Turn on or restart your LIFEBOOK notebook.
2 To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will open the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.

Press the right or left arrow keys key to scroll through the other setup menus to review or alter the current settings.

BIOS Guide

A guide to your notebook's BIOS is available online at our service and support Website at: http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com/www/content/support/contact/index.php. Once there, select User's Guides under Online Support. Select your Product, Series, and Model, then click [Go].

Booting the System

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external devices and do not put a DVD/CD in your drive until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.

When you turn on your notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will load the operating system, and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Starting Windows the First Time

After you boot up the system the first time and follow the instructions on the screen, you will eventually come to the Welcome window. After sign-in, it takes less than a minute for the computer to boot to Windows; during that time the progress bar and interactive messages are displayed on the screen.

During the course of the first start up, you will need to read and accept the End User License Agreements (EULAs) for Microsoft and Fujitsu.

YOU CANNOT USE YOUR NOTEBOOK UNTIL YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE LICENSE AGREEMENT. IF YOU STOP THE PROCESS YOUR NOTEBOOK WILL RETURN TO THE BEGINNING OF THE WINDOWS WELCOME PROCESS, EVEN IF YOU SHUT YOUR NOTEBOOK DOWN AND START IT UP AGAIN.

Several additional windows will appear, prompting you to enter a name and description for your computer, an Administrator password, and a domain name. Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in the information as directed.

Following first boot, you will arrive at the Modern start screen. Some useful shortcuts for your reference: Press the Windows + D keys to go to traditional Windows desktop or press Windows + M keys to load the traditional Windows desktop and minimize all applications.

Installing Bonus Apps

After you have started your system the first time, you will see a Bonus Apps icon on your desktop. Click on the icon to see which additional applications are available for you to install. You can also access Bonus Apps

by opening the Charms panel from the Modern Start screen and searching for "Fujitsu BonusApps". Applications that are already installed appear in grey; those that are available for installation appear in blue.

• Select the applications you wish to install by selecting the checkbox adjacent to your selection, or click [Select All] if you would like to install all available applications. Once you have made your selections, click [Install].

Note that in some cases (depending upon which application was selected for installation) after installation completes, the system will prompt you to reboot. There are also cases in which if multiple applications are selected to install but one of them needs a reboot, the system will reboot and continue installing the rest of the selected applications.

Registering your LIFEBOOK with Fujitsu

You can register your notebook by going to our website at: http://www.us.fujitsu.com/computers. You will need to be set up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to register online.

Power Management

Your notebook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention; however, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in the BIOS setup utility.

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your notebook into Sleep mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery-powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.

Power/Suspend/Resume Button

When your notebook is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put the notebook into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button when the notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and the system will enter Sleep mode.

If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, your notebook is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode. See "Hibernate Feature" on page 53.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode saves your notebook's system memory contents during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting.

Your LIFEBOOK notebook can be put in Sleep mode by:

• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.
• Clicking the power icon on the lock menu.

• Selecting Sleep from the [Settings]->[Power] menu.

• Timing out from lack of activity.

• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

Your notebook's system memory typically stores the files on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support the operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power and Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume'.

IF RUNNING YOUR NOTEBOOK ON BATTERY POWER, BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DISCHARGE WHILE YOUR NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE, THOUGH NOT AS FAST AS WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL.
- DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THE NOTEBOOK INTO SLEEP OR HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) MODE. THE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION CANNOT BE DISABLED.
IF YOUR NOTEBOOK IS ACTIVELY ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE, CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT LOST. THE FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS KEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEP MODE OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE DURING HIBERNATION MODE.
- THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR DATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR NOTEBOOK IN A SUSPENDED STATE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THE POWER DOWN AND POWER UP SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.

Hibernate Feature

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your notebook's system memory to the hard drive, then turns all power off. You can enable or disable this feature.

To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:

1 From the Modern Start screen, press [Windows] + [X].Select Control Panel from the menu, then select Power Options.
2 Select "Choose what the power button does" or "Choose what closing the lid does", then make your selections (Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).

Windows Power Management

The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.

Restarting the System

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.

1 From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows] + C) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the screen), then click [Settings] -> [Power].
2 Select Restart from the list.

TURNING OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR NOTEBOOK WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE NOTEBOOK BEING SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU START THE NEXT TIME.

Powering Off

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.

BE SURE TO CLOSE ALL FILES, EXIT ALL APPLICATIONS, AND SHUT DOWN YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE POWER. IF FILES ARE OPEN WHEN YOU TURN THE POWER OFF, YOU WILL LOSE ANY CHANGES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED, AND MAY CAUSE DISK ERRORS.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows] + C) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the

screen), then click [Settings]->[Power]. Select Shut down from the list.

If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more see the Care and Maintenance Section.

• ALWAYS POWER OFF THE COMPUTER BEFORE TRANSPORTING AND/OR PACKAGING IT. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM, WAIT UNTIL THE STATUS LED PANEL INDICATES POWER OFF CONDITION (I.E., NO LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED).
• IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE UNIT MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY GO TO POWER OFF OR HIBERNATE MODE WHEN YOU CLOSE THE LID. THIS SITUATION MAY OCCUR DUE TO PRE-OS BOOT PASSWORD SECURITY SETTINGS OR SOME OTHER APPLICATION RUNNING ON THE COMPUTER.
• ATTEMPTING TO TRANSPORT THE COMPUTER WHILE POWER IS ON MAY DAMAGE THE NOTEBOOK DUE TO SHOCK OR OVERHEATING SINCE THE AIR VENTS MAY BE BLOCKED OR RESTRICTED.

Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment - saving half in utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That's because every time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.

User-Installable Features

Lithium ion Battery

Your LIFEBOOK notebook has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.

The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

• When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5^ or a high of 35^ . Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range. See "Battery Charge Indicator" on page 24.
• When using a high current device such as a Multi-Format DVD Writer or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.

DO NOT LEAVE A FAULTY BATTERY IN YOUR NOTEBOOK. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR AC ADAPTER, OPTIONAL AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER, ANOTHER BATTERY OR YOUR NOTEBOOK ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVENT OPERATION OF YOUR NOTEBOOK BY DRAINING ALL AVAILABLE CURRENT INTO THE BAD BATTERY.

BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS USED, FEATURES, POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. OPTICAL OR HARD DRIVE USAGE MAY ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON BATTERY LIFE. THE BATTERY CHARGING CAPACITY IS REDUCED AS A BATTERY AGES. IF YOUR BATTERY IS RUNNING LOW QUICKLY, YOU SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.
- UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW IT MAY BE ILLEGAL TO DISPOSE OF BATTERIES BY PUTTING THEM IN THE TRASH. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT AND DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY. REFER TO "RECYCLING YOUR BATTERY" ON PAGE 5 FOR INFORMATION ON PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR BATTERY.

Recharging the Batteries

If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes. See "Battery Level Indicators" on page 24. The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LIFEBOOK notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.

MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR AND THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS SHOWN INSIDE THE BATTERY LEVEL ICON ON THE STATUS INDICATOR PANEL.

There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery, therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 52 for more information on Sleep mode and shutdown procedure)

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to the message, the battery will continue to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point.

• ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATIONMESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK INTO SLEEP MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY, AN AC POWER ADAPTER, OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
• WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF YOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE, ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.

In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your LIFEBOOK notebook.

Replacing the Battery

With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:

Cold-swapping Batteries

To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay, follow these easy steps:

1 Have a charged battery ready to install.
2 Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.

3 With the system oriented as shown in Figure 15, push and hold the battery bay release lock away from the battery pack, and slide the battery release button to the right. This will unlock the battery. At the battery lift point, lift the battery out of the bay.

4 Insert a new battery into the bay. Push and hold the battery bay release lock away from the battery pack, and slide the battery release button to the left. This will lock the battery.

5 Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.

Figure 15. Removing a Battery

Hot-swapping Batteries

To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay, follow these easy steps:

BE SURE TO PLUG IN AN AC ADAPTER PRIOR TO REMOVING THE BATTERY. THERE IS NO BRIDGE BATTERY PRESENT TO SUPPORT THE SYSTEM WHILE THE BATTERY IS BEING REPLACED. IF YOU DO NOT USE AN AC ADAPTER YOU WILL LOSE ANY UNSAVED FILES.

1 Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet.
2 Follow steps 3 and 4 in "Cold Swapping Batteries".

IF THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY CONNECTOR IS NOT FULLY SEATED, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE YOUR NOTEBOOK OR CHARGE YOUR BATTERY.

Figure 16. Optical Drive

Optical Drive

There is a variety of media available to use with your system, depending upon the system configuration you have selected. Multi-Format DVD Writers and Blu-ray® RW drives are collectively known as "optical drives".

Depending upon your notebook configuration, you may have one of the following optical drives:

• Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer: This drive lets you access movies, audio DVD/CDs, and software, and read and write to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD RAM discs. The dual-layer architecture allows you to record up to 8.5 GB of data on DVD+R discs.
  Blu-ray® RW Drive: With this drive, you can play Blu-ray Disc movies and burn up to 100 GB of movies or data on a Dual-Layer Blu-ray disc. You can play CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-ROM, BD-R, BD-R DL, BD-RE, BD-RE DL discs, and record CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, BD-R, BD-R DL, BD-RE, BD-RE DL discs.

Media Player Software

Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer model only: With the Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer and media player software you can play DVD movies and music CDs on your LIFEBOOK notebook. The media player includes controls which allow you to take full advantage of the features of a DVD movie, as well as standard features such as fast forward, fast reverse, pause, etc. With this drive you can also burn onto recordable DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/RW discs.

Blu-ray RW model only: The software for the Blu-ray drive is pre-installed, but can also be found on the CyberLink PowerDVD/PowerDirector/MakeDisc DVD in the event it needs to be re-installed. When used in conjunction with the PowerDirector and MakeDisc applications, PowerDVD turns your notebook into a powerful multi-media producer and player.

DO NOT OPERATE YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE UNLESS YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK IS SITTING ON A FLAT SURFACE. USING A DRIVE WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NOT LEVEL MAY DAMAGE THE DRIVE OR PREVENT PROPER OPERATION.
PROLONGED USE OF THE OPTICAL DRIVE, SUCH AS WATCHING A DVD MOVIE, WILL SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE YOUR BATTERY LIFE IF NO EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE IS ATTACHED.

Loading Media on Your Drive

To load a disc into your optical drive:

1 Push and release the eject button on the front of the optical drive to open the holder tray. The tray will come out of the LIFEBOOK notebook a short distance.
2 Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily be placed in the tray.
3 Place the media into the tray, label side up, with the hole in the center of the disc. Snap the disc onto the raised circle in the center of the tray.
4 Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a click. (Figure 17)

IF YOU HAVE DISABLED THE AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTION (VIA THE AUTOPLAY UTILITY IN THE CONTROL PANEL), YOU WILL HAVE TO START THE DRIVE FROM YOUR DESKTOP, SINCE YOUR NOTEBOOK WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNIZE THAT MEDIA HAS BEEN LOADED.
ALL LIFEBOOK DVD PLAYERS ARE SET TO PLAY DVD TITLES WITH REGION CODE NUMBER 1 WHICH IS SPECIFIED FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET. THE REGION NUMBER IS A REGIONAL RESTRICTION CODE DEFINED BY THE DVD FORUM ACTING ON HOLLYWOOD REQUIREMENTS. DIFFERENT REGION CODES ARE RECORDED ON VIDEO DVD TITLES FOR PUBLICATION IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE WORLD. IF THE REGIONAL CODE OF THE DVD PLAYER DOES NOT MATCH THE CODES ON THE TITLES, THEN PLAYBACK IS IMPOSSIBLE.
- YOU CAN CHANGE THE REGION CODE ON THE DVD PLAYER USING THE PROPERTIES MENU OF THE DVD SOFTWARE. NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT YOU CAN ONLY CHANGE THE REGION CODE UP TO FOUR TIMES. AFTER THE FOURTH CHANGE, THE LAST REGION CODE ENTERED BECOMES PERMANENT, AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.

2 To rewind, click the button to rewind to a specific point, or the button to return to the opening screen.
3 To fast-forward the movie, click the button to forward to a specific portion of the movie, or the button to jump to the ending credits.
4 To stop the movie, click the button.

Exiting the Media Player

Click the × located in the upper right corner of the title bar.

Using Media Player on Battery Power

Optical drives consume a lot of power, so your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when operating the optical drive continuously (such as when watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movie runtimes are longer than your notebook can support on a single charged battery. If you are watching a movie on battery power you may need to swap in an additional charged battery or attach AC power to view the movie in its entirety.

PROLONGED USE OF THE OPTICAL DRIVE, SUCH AS WATCHING A DVD MOVIE, WILL GREATLY REDUCE YOUR NOTEBOOK'S BATTERY LIFE.
- MANY MOVIE RUN-TIMES ARE LONGER THAN YOUR SYSTEM CAN SUPPORT ON A SINGLE BATTERY. IF YOU ARE WATCHING A DVD MOVIE ON BATTERY POWER YOU MAY NEED TO SWAP IN AN ADDITIONAL, CHARGED BATTERY OR ATTACH AC POWER DURING THE MOVIE TO VIEW IT IN ITS ENTIRETY.
- AN ADDITIONAL FULLY-CHARGED BATTERY IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU WILL BE WATCHING DVD MOVIES ON BATTERY POWER. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ADDITIONAL BATTERY, YOU MAY PURCHASE ONE EITHER ONLINE AT: HTTP://WWW.COMPUTERS.US.FUJITSU.COM OR BY CALLING 1-800-8FUJITSU.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

1 Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.
2 Start watching your DVD movie.
3 When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the media player.

IF YOU DO NOT STOP THE MEDIA PLAYER QUICKLY AND THE LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK ATTEMPTS TO AUTO-SPEND (CRITICAL BATTERY LOW STATE) THE LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK WILL SHUT DOWN IMPROPERLY. IF THIS OCCURS, YOU MAY NEED TO PERFORM A HARD RESET AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, IF ANY, PRESENTED TO YOU BEFORE THE SYSTEM WILL REBOOT.

4 Power down your notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-charged battery. If you do not have an additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon as you see the low battery warning.
5 Resume your LIFEBOOK notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This is not required if you attached AC power without entering sleep mode.
6 Restart your media player, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.
7 Continue watching your DVD movie.

SOME SHORTER DVD MOVIES MAY NOT REQUIRE YOU TO SWAP BATTERIES OR ATTACH AC POWER TO COMPLETE THEM. HOWEVER, IT IS BEST TO BE PREPARED SINCE ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WHILE OPERATING THE OPTICAL DRIVE CANNOT BE GUARANTEED.

Troubleshooting Your LIFEBOOK

Troubleshooting

There may be occasions when you encounter simple setup or operating problems that you can solve on the spot, or problems with peripheral devices that can be solved by replacing the device. The information in this section helps you isolate and resolve some of these straightforward issues and identify failures that require service.

Identifying the Problem

If you encounter a problem, go through the following procedure before pursuing complex troubleshooting:

1 Turn off your LIFEBOOK notebook.
2 Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your notebook and to an active AC power source.
3 Make sure that any card installed in the ExpressCard slot is seated properly. You can also remove the card from the slot, thus eliminating it as a possible cause of failure.
4 Make sure that any devices connected to the external connectors are plugged in properly. You can also disconnect such devices, thus eliminating them as possible causes of failure.

Restoring Your System Image and Software (Windows 7)

Equivalent information for Windows 8 configurations can be found at "Restoring Your System Image and Software (Windows 8)" on page 105

It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image and Bootable Disc (along with other applicable media such as application discs) before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the instructions in the "Saving Your Factory Image" and "Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs" sections of this chapter.

Saving and Recovering Your Factory and System Images

Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other important procedures, such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system images, managing your images, and restoring the partitions on a hard drive.

IN ORDER TO INSTALL APPLICATIONS, MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES, AND BURN APPLICATION MEDIA AND BOOTABLE DISCS YOU MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL OR EXTRNNALLY CONNECTED WRITABLE DVD DRIVE.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORANT THAT YOU COPY YOUR FACTORY IMAGE TO REMOVABLE MEDIA (E.G., DVD DISCS). FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN AN INABILITY TO RESTORE THE IMAGE AT A FUTURE DATE.
- WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE DVD-R OR DVD+R DISCS FOR YOUR BACKUP, BUT SUPPORTED MEDIA* FOR IMAGE BACKUPS INCLUDE: FOR FACTORY IMAGE, APPLICATION DATA, AND BOOTABLE DISC: DVD-R/+R. FOR USER-CREATED BACKUP IMAGE: DVD-R/+R, DVD-RW/+RW, DVD-DL.

• DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKUPS.

DUE TO CERTAIN LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, SOME THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED SEPARATELY USING THE APPLICATION MEDIA BUNDLED WITH YOUR SYSTEM.

Saving your Factory Image

When you purchased your new system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.

To make a copy of the Factory Image to DVD discs, you will need several blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are recommended) to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.

Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs

• SOME CONFIGURATIONS OF CERTAIN STYLISTIC MODELS DO NOT HAVE APPLICATIONS LOADED ON THE HARD DRIVE; RATHER, THEY ARE AVAILABLE AT THE FUJITSU SUPPORT SITE FOR DOWNLOAD. PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN READING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.
• ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.

Using the [Manage/Change] button, you can create backup images of the Factory Image, Application Disc(s), or Bootable Disc.

1 Launch My Recovery from desktop icon
2 Select [Manage/Create]-> [Manage Backup Images].

The Backup Images menu displays a list from which you can choose which type of disc you want to burn: Bootable, Disc, Application Discs, or Recovery Disc.

3 Select Recovery Disc, then click [Make DVD].
4 Confirm that the # box has "2" (Note that in some cases the box may display a larger number for the factory image, depending upon its size.)
5 The message "Recovery Disc #1 will be created. Enter your comments and the number of media on the DVD". Click [YES] to burn the Factory Image.
6 While the copy is being made, a "Writing to the media screen displays a progress bar. When the copy is complete, a dialog will appear informing you of the successful completion of the backup.
7 Repeat the process for the remaining images on disc (Bootable Disc and Application Discs). The number of images available may vary depending on your system model; some models do not have the applications loaded on the hard drive.

Recovering Your Factory Image

In the event you need to restore your original Factory Image, perform the following steps. Note that there may be some third-party applications that need to be installed from the application media bundled with your system.

ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.

In order to recover your Factory Image, perform the steps outlined in "Running Recovery and Utility from hard disk".

Backing Up a System Image

Optional Step: Launch the Fujitsu Bonus Apps utility from your desktop, and select the components you wish to install.

User-Configured System Backups: On your desktop, there is a [MyRecovery] icon that allows you to make backups of your current system image either to another location on your hard drive or on removable media. A system image is the configuration of your C: drive at a particular point of time. You may want to make system image backups occasionally in order to have points to which you can return without having to go all the way back to the Factory Image.

By default, system images are saved in the MyRecovery folder (either on D:\ or external hard drive, depending on your hardware type).

1 Click the [MyRecovery] icon on your desktop. The My Recovery screen will appear (See Figure 34). Note that the screen illustrated may vary, depending upon your system configuration.)
2 Click the [Backup] button on the MyRecovery screen.
3 On the next screen that appears, you can enter up to 200 characters of information about the backup file. This information will help you to identify the image at a later date.

Figure 34. MyRecovery screen

4 Click the [Next] button and the system will reboot.
5 After rebooting, the "Creating of the backup image" window appears, in which you can either click [Create the image on D drive] or [Select the drive] if you want to save to an external hard disk drive. (Note that the [Create the image on D drive may not be available on all configurations.)
6 An image appears showing you graphically how the image will be stored. Click the [Next] button.
7 Click [Execute] to start the backup.

Managing Your Backup Images

With the MyRecovery tool you can also make copies of backup images, archive them on DVD, or delete them from your hard drive.

1 To begin, click the [MyRecovery] icon on your desktop.
2 Click the [Manage/Create] button in the MyRecovery window.
3 When the MyRecovery Manager window appears, click [Manage Backup Images].
4 In the next window, a list of your backup images appears. Below the list are three buttons allowing you to [Make DVD], [Copy], or [Delete] your backup images.
5 Select an image title from the list, then click the action button you would like to perform.
6 Note that you need to have an external disk drive connected for the [Copy] button to be enabled. If you elect to copy the image, you will be prompted to enter the destination. If you are ready to copy, click [OK] to proceed. A progress screen appears while the backup copy is being made.
7 Note that if you copy an image to an external hard drive, both the original and the copy will appear in the [Backup Images] window with identical names, dates, and file sizes, but with the different drive letter to distinguish them. Before you select [Make DVD], make sure you have a recordable DVD drive connected and blank DVDs available.

Using the Recovery and Utility Tools

The Recovery and Utility tools consist of a variety of tools that will help you recover your Factory Image, recover system images, and delete the data from your hard disk.

Methods for accessing the utilities

Recovery and Utility Tools are preinstalled in a hidden partition by the factory, or they can be accessed by using the bootable disc. Please note that you can delete Recovery and Utility tools from your hard disk drive if you modify the partitions. In this case you will not be able to use the hidden partition for booting to Recovery and Utility Tools, but you will still be able to boot from the Bootable Disc.

Equivalent information for Windows 7 configurations can be found at "Restoring Your System Image and Software (Windows 7)" on page 95

It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image and Bootable Disc before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the instructions in the "Saving Your Factory Image" and "Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs" sections of this chapter.

Saving and Recovering Your Factory and System Images

Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other important procedures, such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system images, managing your images, and restoring the partitions on a hard drive.

IN ORDER TO MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES AND BURN BOOTABLE DISCS YOU MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNALLY CONNECTED WRITABLE DVD DRIVE.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COPY YOUR FACTORY IMAGE TO REMOVABLE MEDIA (E.G., DVD DISCS). FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN AN INABILITY TO RESTORE THE IMAGE AT A FUTURE DATE.
- WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE DVD-R OR DVD+R DISCS FOR YOUR BACKUP, BUT SUPPORTED MEDIA* FOR IMAGE BACKUPS INCLUDE: FOR FACTORY IMAGE, APPLICATION DATA, AND BOOTABLE DISC: DVD-R/+R. FOR USER-CREATED BACKUP IMAGE: DVD-R/+R, DVD-RW/+RW, DVD-DL.

• DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKUPS.

DUE TO CERTAIN LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, SOME THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED SEPARATELY.

Saving your Factory Image

When you purchased your new system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden partition on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that in the event of system failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.

To make a copy of the Factory Image to DVD discs, you will need four or five blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are recommended) to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them in a safe place to ensure they do not get damaged.

Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Bootable Disc

Using the [Manage/Change] button, you can create backup images of the Factory Image and/or Bootable Disc.

ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.

1 Launch System Backup and Restore from the desktop icon and click [Yes] on the User Account Control dialog.
2 Click [Next] on the Backup Your Data screen.
3 Select the [Manage/Create] tab, then click [Make Recovery Disc set] to burn your factory image to DVD.

In an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates.

The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. Three regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following three classes.

Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks

Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks

Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks

Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device

Ad Hoc Mode

(See Figure A-1) "Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.

Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authentication, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

(See Figure A-2) Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network architecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the WLAN in order to access services, devices, and computers (e.g., file servers, printers, databases).

The WLAN device is an optional device that may come pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Operating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

Wireless Network Considerations

• The WLAN device supports IEEE802.11a (infrastructure mode only), IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.
• The WLAN device operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.
• Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the same 2.4 GHz frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.
• Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN device.

Deactivating/Disconnecting the WLAN Device

Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.).

Deactivation Using the Wireless On/Off Switch

The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and efficiently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off position. The Wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wireless LAN models.

Figure 36. Wireless LAN On/Off Switch

THE WIRELESS LAN/BLUETOOTH ON/OFF SWITCH WILL POWER OFF BOTH THE OPTIONAL WIRELESS LAN AND BLUETOOTH DEVICES AT THE SAME TIME. TO ENABLE OR DISABLE EITHER ONE OF THE DEVICES INDIVIDUALLY, PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

Appendix B: Fingerprint Sensor Device

Introducing the Fingerprint Sensor Device

Your system may have an optional fingerprint sensor device below the Touchpad, between the left and right buttons. This also serves as a scroll button.

With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter a username and password every time you want to:

• Log onto Windows
• Resume from sleep mode
• Cancel a password-protected screen saver
• Log into homepages that require a username and password After you "enroll" - or register - your fingerprint, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the sensor for the system recognize you.

Figure 37. Fingerprint sensor

ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM MAY HAVE A FINGERPRINT SENSOR IN PLACE OF A SCROLL BUTTON, THE FINGERPRINT SENSOR CAN BE USED FOR SCROLLING. SIMPLY MOVE YOUR FINGERPRINT OVER THE SENSOR THE SAME AS YOU WOULD USE A SCROLL BUTTON.

The fingerprint sensor uses Softex OmniPass which provides password management capabilities to Microsoft Windows operating systems. OmniPass enables you to use a "master password" for all Windows, applications, and online passwords.

OmniPass requires users to authenticate themselves using the fingerprint sensor before granting access to the Windows desktop. This device results in a secure authentication system for restricting access to your computer, applications, web sites, and other password-protected resources.

OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface, through which you can securely manage passwords, users and multiple identities for each user.

CERTAIN MODELS SUPPORT PRE-BOOT AUTHENTICATION OR PBA. PBA ALLOWS THE USER TO LOG IN PRIOR TO WINDOWS'OWN AUTHENTICATION MECHANISM. A PBA ENVIRONMENT SERVES AS AN EXTENSION OF THE BIOS OR BOOT FIMWARE AND ALLOWS FOR A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT EXTERNAL TO THE OPERATING SYSTEM.

Getting Started

This section guides you through the preparation of your system for the OmniPass fingerprint recognition application. You will be led through the OmniPass installation process. You will also be led through the procedure of enrolling your first user into OmniPass.

Installing OmniPass

If OmniPass has already been installed on your system, skip this section and go directly to "User Enrollment" on page 166. You can determine whether OmniPass has already been installed by checking to see if the following are present:

• The gold key-shaped OmniPass icon in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.
• The Softex program group in the Programs group of the Start menu

System Requirements

The OmniPass application requires space on your hard drive; it also requires specific Operating Systems (OS's). The minimum requirements are as follows:

• Windows XP Professional or later operating system
• At least 35 MB available hard disk space

Installing the OmniPass Application

If OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to "User Enrollment" on page 166. Otherwise continue with this section on software installation.

FOR INSTALLATION, OMNIPASS REQUIRES THAT THE USER INSTALLING OMNIPASS HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES TO THE SYSTEM. IF YOUR CURRENT USER DOES NOT HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES, LOG OUT AND THEN LOG IN WITH AN ADMINISTRATOR USER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH OMNIPASS INSTALLATION.

To install OmniPass on your system you must:

1 Insert the installation media for the OmniPass application into the appropriate drive. If you are installing from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, you must find and launch the OmniPass installation program (setup.exe) from the media.
2 Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass installation program. Specify a location to which you would like OmniPass installed. It is recommended that you NOT install OmniPass in the root directory (e.g. C:).
3 Once OmniPass has completed installation you will be prompted to restart your system. Once your system has rebooted you will be able to use OmniPass. If you choose not to restart immediately after installation, OmniPass will not be available for use until the next reboot.

The installation program automatically places an icon (Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well as a golden key shaped icon in the taskbar.

Verifying Information about OmniPass

After you have completed installing OmniPass and restarted your system, you may wish to check the version of OmniPass on your system.

To check the version information of OmniPass:

1 From the Windows Desktop, double-click the key-shaped OmniPass icon in the taskbar (usually located in the lower right corner of the screen), or,
Click Start, select Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click Softex OmniPass in the Control Panel, and the OmniPass Control Center will appear. If it does not appear, then the program is not properly installed, or,
Click the Start button, select Programs, and from the submenu select the Softex program group, from that submenu click OmniPass Control Center.
2 Select the About tab at the top of the OmniPass Control Panel. The About tab window appears with version information about OmniPass.

Uninstalling OmniPass

BEFORE YOU UNINSTALL THE SOFTWARE, DECRYPT ALL OMNIPASS ENCLOSED FILES AND EXPORT ALL OMNIPASS USER PROFILES. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT LOSS OF ENCLOSED FILE DATA, AND PERMANENT LOSS OF ALL REMEMBERED PASSWORDS AND ASSOCIATED INFORMATION (SEE CHAPTER 5 OF THE OMNIPASS HELP DOCUMENT:: EXPORTING AND IMPORTING USERS).

FOR UNINSTALLATION, OMNIPASS REQUIRES THAT THE USER UNINSTALLING OMNIPASS HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES TO THE SYSTEM. IF YOUR CURRENT USER DOES NOT HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILEGES, LOG OUT AND THEN LOG IN WITH AN ADMINISTRATOR USER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH OMNIPASS UNINSTALLATION.

To remove the OmniPass application from your system:

1 Click Start -> All Programs -> Control Panel.
2 If you are in Category view, click Programs -> Programs and Features If you are in Icon view, click Programs and Features.
3 Select OmniPass from the list, and then click Uninstall/Change.

4 Follow the directions to uninstall the OmniPass application.
5 Once OmniPass has finished uninstalling, reboot your system when prompted.

User Enrollment

Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first enroll a user into OmniPass.

Master Password Concept

Computer resources are often protected with passwords. Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing your email, e-banking, paying bills, or accessing network resources, you often have to supply credentials to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of credentials that you have to remember.

During user enrollment a "master password" is created for the enrolled user. This master password "replaces" all other passwords for sites you register with OmniPass.

Example: A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system (his home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with username "John_01" and password "freq14". He then goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He inputs his webmail credentials as usual (username "John_02" and password "lifebook"), but instead of clicking [Submit], he directs OmniPass to Remember Password. Now whenever he returns to that site, OmniPass will prompt him to supply access credentials.

John enters his OmniPass user credentials ("John_01" and "freq14") at the OmniPass authentication prompt, and he is allowed into his webmail account. He can do this with as many web sites or password protected resources he likes, and he will gain access to all those sites with his OmniPass user credentials ("John_01" and "freq14"). This assumes he is accessing those sites with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass user. OmniPass does not actually change the credentials of the password protected resource. If John were to go to another computer without he

OmniPass account to access his webmail, he would need to enter his original webmail credentials ("John_02" and "lifebook") to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass user credentials on a system other than a system he's enrolled on, he will not gain access.

THE ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE ASSUMES YOU HAVE NO HARDWARE AUTHENTICATION DEVICES OR ALTERNATE STORAGE LOCATIONS THAT YOU WISH TO INTEGRATE WITH OMNIPASS. IF YOU DESIRE SUCH FUNCTIONALITY, CONSULT THE APPROPRIATE SECTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT.

Basic Enrollment

The Enrollment Wizard will guide you through the process of enrolling a user. Unless you specified otherwise, after OmniPass installation the Enrollment Wizard will launch on Windows login. If you do not see the Enrollment Wizard, you can bring it up by clicking Start on the Windows taskbar; select Programs; select Softex; click OmniPass Enrollment Wizard.

1 Click Enroll to proceed to username and password verification. By default, the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard enters the credentials of the currently logged in Windows user.
2 Enter the password you use to log in to Windows. This will become the "master password" for this OmniPass user. In most cases, the Domain: value will be your Windows computer name. In a corporate environment, or when accessing corporate resources, the Domain: may not be your computer name. Click [Next] to continue.
3 In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint. Refer to "Enrolling a Fingerprint" on page 168 for more details.
4 Next, choose how OmniPass notifies you of various events. We recommend you keep Taskbar Tips on Beginner mode taskbar tips and Audio Tips on at least Prompt with system beeps only until you get accustomed to how OmniPass operates. Click [Next] to proceed with user enrollment. You will then see a Congratulations screen indicating your completion of user enrollment.
5 Click [Done] to exit the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. You will be asked if you'd like to log in to OmniPass with your newly enrolled user; click [Yes].

Enrolling a Fingerprint

Enrolling a fingerprint increases the security of your system and streamlines the authentication procedure.

You enroll fingerprints in the OmniPass Control Center. With an OmniPass user logged in, double-click the system tray OmniPass icon. Select the User Settings tab and click Enrollment under the User Settings area. Click Enroll Authentication Device and authenticate at the authentication prompt to start device enrollment.

1 During initial user enrollment, you will be prompted to select the finger you wish to enroll. Fingers that have already been enrolled will be marked by a green check. The finger you select to enroll at this time will be marked by a red arrow. OmniPass will allow you re-enroll a finger. If you choose a finger that has already been enrolled and continue enrollment, OmniPass will enroll the fingerprint, overwriting the old fingerprint. Select a finger to enroll and click [Next].
2 It is now time for OmniPass to capture your selected fingerprint. It may take a several capture attempts before OmniPass acquires your fingerprint. Should OmniPass fail to acquire your fingerprint, or if the capture screen times out, click [Back] to restart the fingerprint enrollment process.

Your system has a "stripe" fingerprint sensor. A swipe sensor is small and resembles a skinny elongated rectangle. To capture a fingerprint, gently swipe or pull your fingertip over the sensor (starting at the second knuckle) towards yourself. Swiping too fast or too slow will result in a failed capture. The Choose Finger screen has a [Practice] button; click it to practice capturing your fingerprint. When you are comfortable with how your fingerprint is captured, proceed to enroll a finger.

3 Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the fingerprint, the Verify Fingerprint screen will automatically appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint, place your fingertip on the sensor and hold it there as if you were having a fingerprint captured. Successful fingerprint verification will show a green fingerprint in the capture window and the text Verification Successful under the capture window.

4 After you finish enrolling and verifying your fingerprints, you will have the option to Enable PBA with enrolled finger. If you enable this option, you must choose two fingers to save in PBA. After you enroll successfully, the Finger Enrollment Status in PBA screen will state Finger saved in PBA successfully.

IF YOU ENABLE PBA ON YOUR SYSTEM, YOU MUST SET THE SUPERVISOR PASSWORD AND PASSWORD ON BOOT SETTINGS.

Using OmniPass

You are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regularly, OmniPass will streamline your authentications.

Password Replacement

You will often use the password replacement function. When you go to a restricted access website (e.g., your bank, your web-based email, online auction or payment sites), you are always prompted to enter your login credentials. OmniPass can detect these prompts and you can teach OmniPass your login credentials. The next time you go to that website, you can authenticate with your fingerprint to gain access.

OmniPass Authentication Toolbar

After installing OmniPass and restarting, you will notice a dialog you have not seen before at Windows Logon. This is the OmniPass Authentication Toolbar, and it is displayed whenever the OmniPass authentication system is invoked. The OmniPass authentication system may be invoked frequently: during Windows Logon, during OmniPass Logon, when unlocking your workstation, when resuming from sleep or hibernate, when unlocking a password-enabled screensaver, during password replacement for remembered site or application logins, and more. When you see this toolbar, OmniPass is prompting you to authenticate.

The Logon Authentication window indicates what OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting. The icons in the lower left (fingerprint and key) show what authentication methods are available to you. Selected authentication methods are highlighted while unselected methods are not. When you click the icon for an unselected authentication method, the authentication prompt associated with that method is displayed.

When prompted to authenticate, you must supply the appropriate credentials: an enrolled finger for the fingerprint capture window or your master password for the master password prompt (the key icon).

Remembering a Password

OmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or password protected resource that has password prompt.

Using the following procedure, you can store a set of credentials into OmniPass. These credentials will then be linked to your "master password" or fingerprint.

Go to a site that requires a login (username and password), but do not log in yet. At the site login prompt, enter your username and password in the prompted fields, but do not enter the site (do not hit [Enter], [Submit], [OK], or Login). Right-click the OmniPass system tray icon and select Remember Password from the submenu. The Windows arrow cursor will change to a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click the OmniPass cursor in the login prompt area, but don't click [Login] or [Submit].

Associating a Friendly Name

After clicking the OmniPass key cursor near the login prompt, OmniPass will prompt you to enter a "friendly name" for this site. You should enter something that reminds you of the website, the company, or the service you are logging into. In its secure database, OmniPass associates this friendly name with this website.

Additional Settings for Remembering a Site

When OmniPass prompts you to enter a "friendly name" you also have the opportunity to set how OmniPass authenticates you to this site. There are three effective settings for how OmniPass handles a remembered site.

The default setting is Automatically click the "OK" or "Submit" button for this password protected site once the user is authenticated. With this setting, each time you navigate to this site OmniPass will prompt you for your master password or fingerprint authentication device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass, you will automatically be logged into the site.

Less secure is the option to Automatically enter this password protected site when it is activated. Do not prompt for authentication. Check the upper box to get this setting, and each time you navigate to this site OmniPass will log you into the site without prompting you to authenticate.

THIS SETTING IS MORE CONVENIENT IN THAT WHENEVER YOU GO TO A REMEMBERED SITE, YOU WILL BYPASS ANY AUTHENTICATION PROCEDURE AND GAIN INSTANT ACCESS TO THE SITE. BUT SHOULD YOU LEAVE YOUR SYSTEM UNATTENDED WITH YOUR OMNIPASS USER LOGGED IN, ANYONE USING YOUR SYSTEM CAN BROWSE TO YOUR PASSWORD PROTECTED SITES AND GAIN AUTOMATIC ACCESS.

If you uncheck both boxes in Settings for this Password Site, OmniPass will prompt you for your master password or fingerprint authentication device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass your credentials will be filled in to the site login prompt, but you will have to click the website [OK], [Submit], or [Login] button to gain access to the site.

Click Finish to complete the remember password procedure. The site location, the credentials to access the site, and the OmniPass authentication settings for the site are now stored in the OmniPass secure database. The OmniPass authentication settings (Settings for this Password Site) can always be changed in Vault Management.

Logging in to a Remembered Site

Whether or not OmniPass prompts you to authenticate when you return to a remembered site is determined by Settings for this Password Site and can be changed in Vault Management.

The following cases are applicable to using OmniPass to login to: Windows, remembered web sites, and all other password protected resources.

With Master Password

Once you return to a site you have remembered with OmniPass, you may be presented with a master password prompt. Enter your master password and you will be allowed into the site.

Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint Device

When logging into Windows with a fingerprint device, the fingerprint capture window will now appear next to the Windows Login screen. Place your enrolled fingertip on the sensor to authenticate. You will be simultaneously logged into Windows and OmniPass. The capture window will also appear if you have used Ctrl-Alt-Del to lock a system, and the fingerprint device can be used to log back in as stated above.

IF A MACHINE IS LOCKED AND OMNIPASS DETECTS A DIFFERENT USER LOGGING BACK IN WITH A FINGERPRINT, THE FIRST USER WILL BE LOGGED OUT AND THE SECOND USER LOGGED IN.

Password Management

OmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage your passwords. To access this GUI, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Management; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you gain access to Vault Management, click Manage Passwords under Vault Settings. You will see the Manage Passwords interface, with a list of friendly names.

You can view credentials stored for any remembered website by highlighting the desired resource under Password Protected Dialog and clicking Unmask Values. Should a password be reset, or an account expire, you can remove stored credentials from OmniPass. Highlight the desired resource under Password Protected Dialog and click Delete Page. You will be prompted to confirm the password deletion.

The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or directly logs you into the remembered site.

OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an already remembered site.

The exception to the above rule is when resetting the Windows password. If your password is reset in Windows, the next time you login to Windows, OmniPass will detect the password change and prompt you to "Update" or "Reconfirm" the password with OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the prompt and click OK. Your OmniPass "master password" will still be your Windows password.

OmniPass User Identities

Identities allow OmniPass users to have multiple accounts to the same site (e.g., [e-mail] and [e-mail]). If OmniPass did not provide you identities, you would be limited to remembering one account per site.

To create and manage identities, double-click the OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Management; OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Once you gain access to Vault Management, click Manage Identities under Vault Settings. You can only manage the identities of the currently logged in OmniPass user

To add a new identity, click New Identity or double-click Click here to add a new identity. Name the new identity and click [OK], then click [Apply]. You can now switch to the new identity and start remembering passwords.

To delete an identity, highlight the identity you want to delete and click [Delete Identity]. Click [Apply].

WHEN YOU DELETE AN IDENTITY, ALL OF ITS ASSOCIATED REMEMBERED SITES AND PASSWORD PROTECTED DIALOGS ARE LOST.

To set the default identity, highlight the identity you want as default and click [Set as Default]; click [Apply] to ensure the settings are saved. If you log in to OmniPass with a fingerprint device, you will automatically be logged in to the default identity for that OmniPass user. You can choose the identity with which you are logging in if you login using "master password".

Choosing User Identity during Login

To choose your identity during login, type your username in the User Name: field. Press [Tab] and see that the Domain: field self-populates. Click the Password: field to bring the cursor to it, and you will see the pull-down menu in the Identity: field. Select the identity to login as, then click OK.

Switch User Identity

To switch identities at any time, right-click the OmniPass system tray icon and click Switch User Identity from the submenu. The Switch Identity dialog will appear. Select the desired identity and then click OK.

Identities and Password Management

On the Manage Passwords interface of the Vault Management tab of the OmniPass Control Center, there is a pull-down selection box labeled, Identity. This field lets you choose which identity you are managing passwords for. When you select an identity here, only those password protected dialogs that are associated with that identity are shown. You can perform all the functions explained in "Password Management" on page 172.

Configuring OmniPass

This section gives an overview of both the Export/Import function and the OmniPass Control Center.

Exporting and Importing Users

YOU CANNOT IMPORT A USER INTO OMNIPASS IF THERE ALREADY IS A USER WITH THE SAME NAME ENROLLED IN OMNIPASS.

Using OmniPass Control Center, you can export and import users in and out of OmniPass. The export process backs up all remembered sites, credentials, and enrolled fingerprints for an OmniPass user. All OmniPass data for a user is backed up to a single encrypted database file. During the import process, the Windows login of the exported user is required. If the proper credentials cannot be supplied, the user profile will not be imported.

• YOU SHOULD PERIODICALLY EXPORT YOUR USER PROFILE AND STORE IT IN A SAFE PLACE. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR SYSTEM, YOU CAN IMPORT YOUR OMNIPASS PROFILE TO A NEW SYSTEM AND HAVE ALL YOUR REMEMBERED SETTINGS AND FINGERPRINTS INSTANTLY.
• DON'T FORGET THE WINDOWS LOGIN CREDENTIALS WHEN EXPORTING. WHEN YOU EXAMINE THE IMPORTATION, YOU ARE PROMPTED FOR AUTHENTICATION. THE CREDENTIALS THAT WILL ALLOW A USER PROFILE TO BE IMPORTED ARE THE WINDOWS LOGIN CREDENTIALS OF THE EXPORTED USER. THEY ARE THE CREDENTIALS THAT HAD TO BE SUBMITTED WHEN THE USER PROFILE WAS EXPORTED. YOU WILL NEED USER NAME, PASSWORD, AND DOMAIN.

Exporting an OmniPass User Profile

To export a user, open OmniPass Control Center, and click Import/Export User under Manage Users.

Click Exports an OmniPass user profile. OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Upon successfully authentication, you must name the OmniPass user profile and decide where to save it. An .opi file is generated, and you should store a copy of it in a safe place.

This .opi file contains all your user specific OmniPass data, and it is both encrypted and password protected. This user profile does NOT contain any of your encrypted data files.

Importing an OmniPass User Profile

To import an OmniPass user open the OmniPass Control Center, and click Import/Export User under Manage Users. Click Imports a new user into OmniPass and then select OmniPass Import/Export File (.otpi) and click Next. OmniPass will then prompt you to browse for the file you had previously exported (.otpi file). When you select the .otpi file for importation, OmniPass will prompt you for authentication. The credentials that will allow a user profile to be imported are the Windows login credentials of the exported user. They are the credentials that had to be submitted when the user profile was exported. You will need User Name, Password, and Domain. If you don't remember the value for Domain, in a PC or SOHO environment Domain should be your computer name.

OmniPass will notify you if the user was successfully imported.

Things to Know Regarding Import/Export

• Assume you export a local Windows User profile from OmniPass. You want to import that profile to another machine that has OmniPass. Before you can import the profile, a Windows user with the same login credentials must be created on the machine importing the profile.
  Example: I have a Windows user with the username "Tom" and the password "Sunshine" on my system. I have enrolled Tom into OmniPass and remembered passwords. I want to take my passwords to a new system. I export Tom's OmniPass user profile. I go to my new system and using the Control Panel I create a user with the username "Tom" and password "Sunshine". I can now successfully import the OmniPass user data to the system.
• If you export an OmniPass-only user, you can import that user to any computer running OmniPass, provided that a user with that name is not already enrolled in OmniPass.
• If you attempt to import a user profile who has the same name as a user already enrolled in OmniPass, the OmniPass import function will fail.

OmniPass Control Center

This section explains functions within the OmniPass Control Center that were not explained earlier.

You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of three ways:

• Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in the Windows taskbar (typically in the lower-right corner of the desktop)
• Click the Start button; select the Programs group; select the Softtex program group; and click the OmniPass Control Center selection.
• Open the Windows Control Panel (accessible via Start button -> Settings -> Control Panel) and double-click the Softex OmniPass icon.

User Management

The User Management tab has two major interfaces: Add/Remove User and Import/Export User. Import/Export User functionality is documented in "Exporting and Importing Users" on page 174. Add/Remove User functionality is straightforward.

If you click Add a new user to OmniPass you will start the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. The Enrollment Wizard is documented in "User Enrollment" on page 166.

If you click Removes a user from OmniPass, OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Authenticate with the credentials (or enrolled fingerprint) of the user you wish to remove. OmniPass will prompt you to confirm user removal. Click OK to complete user removal.

REMOVING A USER WILL AUTOMATICALLY DESTROY ALL OMNIPASS DATA ASSOCIATED WITH THAT USER. ALL IDENTITIES AND CREDENTIALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USER WILL BE LOST.

IF YOU'RE SURE YOU WANT TO REMOVE THE USER, WE RECOMMEND YOU EXPORT THE USER PROFILE.

User Settings

The User Settings tab has three interfaces: Audio Settings, Taskbar Tips, and Enrollment. User settings allow users to customize OmniPass to suit their individual preferences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied, etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio Settings and Taskbar Tips interfaces are self-explanatory.

The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll fingerprints. For the procedure to enroll and authentication device refer to Chapter 2.3. To enroll additional fingerprints, click Enroll Authentication Device, and authenticate with OmniPass. Select the fingerprint recognition device in the Select Authentication Device screen (it should already be marked by a green check if you have a finger enrolled) and click Next.

System Settings

The OmniPass Startup Options interface can be found in the System Settings tab. With these options you can specify how your OmniPass Logon is tied to your Windows Logon.

The first option, Automatically log on to OmniPass as the current user, will do just as it says; during Windows login, you will be logged on to OmniPass using your Windows login credentials. If the user logging into Windows was never enrolled into OmniPass, upon login no one will be logged on to OmniPass. This setting is appropriate for an office setting or any setting where users must enter a username and password to log into a computer. This is the default setting.

With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you have logged on to Windows.

With the third option, Do not log on to OmniPass at startup, you will not be prompted to be logged on.

You can manually log on to OmniPass by right-clicking the OmniPass taskbar icon and clicking Log in User from the right-click menu.

Troubleshooting

You cannot use OmniPass to create Windows users. You must first create the Windows user, and you will need administrative privileges to do that. Once the Windows user is created, you can add that user to OmniPass using the same username and password

Cannot add Windows users to OmniPass

If you experience difficulties adding a Windows user to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local security settings. You can do this by going to Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand Security Options, and double-click Network Access: Sharing and Security Model for Local Accounts. The correct setting should be Classic - Local Users Authenticate as Themselves.

Cannot add a User with a Blank Password to OmniPas

If you experience difficulties adding a user with a blank password to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local security settings. First attempt the procedure explained in the Cannot add Windows user to OmniPass section. If the difficulties persist, then try the following procedure.

Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand Security Options, and double-click Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only. This setting should be set to Disabled.

Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during Windows Logon

After installing OmniPass on your system, you can choose to logon to Windows using OmniPass. You authenticate with OmniPass (via master password, or an enrolled security device) and OmniPass logs you into Windows. You may, during this OmniPass authentication, see a Login Error dialog box.

This dialog box occurs when OmniPass was unable to log you into Windows with the credentials supplied (username and password). This could happen for any of the following reasons:

• Your Windows password has changed
• Your Windows account has been disabled

If you are having difficulties due to the first reason, you will need to update OmniPass with your changed Windows account password. Click Update Password and you will be prompted with a dialog to reconfirm your password.

Enter the new password to your Windows user account and click OK. If the error persists, then it is unlikely the problem is due to your Windows user account password changing.
