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
1. Press the Display Panel latch. This releases the
locking mechanism and raises the display slightly.
2. Lift the display backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable
viewing angle. (Figure 3-2)
ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS
Once you have turned on your notebook, you may want
to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more
comfortable viewing level. There are two ways to adjust
the brightness, by using the keyboard or the power
management utility.
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 Management Utility
Adjusting the brightness using the Power Management
changes the setting permanently.
1. Double-click the Battery Icon in the lower right
corner of your display. This will open the PMSet 98
Properties dialog box.
2. Select the Power Control tab and adjust your
LCD Backlighting to the desired level.
3. Click OK or Apply to permanently change
the settings.
You may need to readjust the brightness level periodi-
cally depending on your operating environment.
CLOSING THE DISPLAY PANEL
1. Holding the edge of your display panel, pull it forward
until it is flush with the body of your notebook.
2. Push down until you hear a click. This will
engage the locking mechanism and prevent
your display panel from opening unexpectedly.

POINT
If using AC power your brightness setting is set to it’s
highest level by default. If using battery power your
brightness settings is set to it’s lowest level by default.
POINT
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.
