FUNCTION KEYS
Your Tablet PC has 12 function keys, F1 through F12.
The functions assigned to these keys differ for each
application. You should refer to your software documen-
tation to find out how these keys are used.
(Figure 2-17)
[Fn] Key
The [Fn] key provides extended functions for the
Tablet PC and is always used in conjunction with
another key.
■
[Fn+F3]: Pressing [F3] while holding [Fn] will toggle
the Audio Mute on and off.
■
[Fn+F4]: Pressing [F4] while holding [Fn] will toggle
the built-in pointing device on and off. Note that the
[Fn+F4] combination only works if Manual Setting is
selected in the BIOS. (See “Entering the BIOS Setup
Utility” on page 36)
■
[Fn +F5]: Pressing [F5] while holding [Fn] allows
you to toggle between video compensation and no
compensation. (Video compensation controls spacing
on the display. When it is enabled, displays with less
than 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600 pixel resolution will still
cover the entire screen.)
■
[Fn+F6]: Pressing [F6] repeatedly while holding [Fn]
will lower the brightness of your display. Note that
adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes
the system setting.
■
[Fn+F7]: Pressing [F7] repeatedly while holding [Fn]
will increase the brightness of the display.
■
[Fn+F8]: Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]
will decrease the volume of your Tablet PC.
■
[Fn+F9]: Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn]
will increase the volume of your Tablet PC.
■ [Fn+F10]: Pressing [F10] while holding [Fn] allows
you to change your selection of where to send your
display video. Each time you press the combination
of keys you will step to the next choice. The choices,
in order, are: built-in display panel only, both built-in
display panel, and external monitor or external moni-
tor only.

Volume Control
Your Fujitsu Tablet PC has multiple volume controls
which interact with each other.
■
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.

Troubleshooting
Causes and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the
following table.
Unavailable Incorrect network Ad hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network
network name (SSID) or keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured
connection network key correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.
Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID)
and network key to the same values as those of the access point.
Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access
Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if
necessary.
For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the following
page:·”Assigning parameters” on page 100·
Weak received signal Ad hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to
strength and/or link the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight.
