LifeBook C Series Notebook – Section Three
Figure 3-2 Opening the Display Panel (15” model shown)
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. Your system has either a 14.1” or a
15” display panel. The 15” model is illustrated
throughout this document.
OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL
1. Slide the latch located at the top of the display panel
to the right. This releases the locking mechanism
and raises the display slightly.
2. Lift the display backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable
viewing angle.
ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS
Once you have turned on your LifeBook notebook, you
may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a
more comfortable viewing level. There are two ways to
adjust the brightness, keyboard and power management
utility.
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
(Windows 2000 only)
Adjusting the brightness using the Power Management
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 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
LifeBook notebook.
2. Push down until you hear a click. This will engage
the locking mechanism and prevent your display
panel from opening unexpectedly.

the brightness to as low a level as possible.
