LifeBook B Series – Section Three
Figure 3-2. Opening the Display Panel
Display Panel
Your LifeBook notebook contains a display panel that is
backlit for easier viewing in bright environments and
maintains top resolution through the use of active-
matrix technology.
OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL
1. Slide 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.
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, keyboard and power management utility.
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.
Power Management Utility
(Windows 2000 models only)
Adjusting the brightness using the Power Management
Utility changes the setting permanently.
1. Double-click the BatteryAid icon in the lower right
corner of your display. This will open the BatteryAid
Properties dialog box.
2. Select the Fujitsu BatteryAid (2/2) 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 note-
book.
2. Push down until you hear a click. This will engage
the locking mechanism and prevent your display
panel from opening unexpectedly.
Display Panel Latch
If using AC power your brightness setting
is set to its highest level by default. If using
battery power your brightness settings is
set to approximately mid-level by default.
The higher the brightness level, the more
power the LifeBook 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.
