LifeBook N Series User’s Guide
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with
Application Panel Setup:
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Control Panel.
3. Double-click on Application Panel.
The Application Panel Setup utility will appear. There
are tabs that correspond to the application buttons on
the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your
LifeBook notebook, these buttons are pre-configured to
launch specific programs. (See Specifications on page 69
for more information).
To change an application associated with one of the
buttons, click on the tab for the button you would like to
reconfigure. Click on the Browse button. Scroll down to
the application you want to associate with the buttons,
click on the application you wish to launch with this
button, and then click Open. Click OK, and the button
will now launch the new application.
One of the buttons may be preconfigured to launch your
default Internet browser. In order to reconfigure it to
launch a different program, follow these easy steps:
1. Click on the Internet tab of the application panel
utility. Click on the down-arrow in the Specify the
button action: field. Select Start Other Program
from the dropdown list.
2. Click on the Browse button.
3. Scroll down the list of applications, and click on the
application you wish to launch with this button.
Click on Open.
4. Click OK.
The button will now launch the new application. If you
want to return to launching your default Internet
browser with this button, you need only click on
“Default Internet Browser” from the dropdown list. Be
aware that you will erase the settings for the “other
application”. If you wish to go back to launching the
“other application” from this button, you will need to
reconfigure it as described above.
The E-mail tab can be modified in the same manner as
the Internet tab.
At the bottom of each application setup page are two
selectable options. The first will enable/disable the button
when your notebook is in Standby mode, and the second
will enable/disable the button when your notebook is in
the pseudo-off state. You can enable/disable either or
both of these functions simply by clicking on the option.
When you have finished with Application Panel utility,
click [OK]; the new settings will take effect. You can
reconfigure your Application Panel as often as you like.
USING THE MEDIA PLAYER BUTTONS
The media player buttons are another way to use your
LifeBook notebook’s optical drive as a media player.
There is no configuration required for media player
operation. The buttons are pre-configured to work like a
normal media player. The buttons will operate as
follows:
Stop/Eject
Press this button once to stop a CD or DVD that is
playing. Press it twice to eject the disc.
Play/Pause
Press this button to start playing a CD or DVD starting
at the beginning. While the disc is playing, press it to
pause. Press it again to continue
.
The tabs in Application Panel Setup may
not be in the same order as the buttons on
your LifeBook notebook. Please select the
tab you wish to change carefully.
If you choose to have the buttons work
when the LifeBook notebook is in standby,
they will function even if hit accidentally,
and will turn on your LifeBook notebook
even if you are not present or using your
LifeBook notebook. This could deplete
your battery, and you will need to recharge
it before using the LifeBook notebook.
• If you have Microsoft Windows Media
Center Edition on your system, the
media player buttons do not function,
since the remote control device is used
to operate the optical drive.
• If you shut down from Windows while
the media player is playing a CD or
DVD, it will stop.
• You can’t go into Hibernation Mode
(Save-to-Disk) or Suspend Mode while
the media player is playing.
• The media player will only play when
the system is powered on.
• If you press the play button and
nothing happens, there is no disc in
the media player drive, you have
other than a media disc in the drive,
or system is not powered on.
• Because of the Windows auto-inser-
tion function, discs will start playing
immediately after they are inserted if
your LifeBook notebook is on. This
will not happen if you are using the
media player in Suspend mode.
