tion key in the On or the Accessories position.
Data Security
Your LifeBook 400 Series from Fujitsu has a
built-in hardware control password security
feature that allows you to protect stored data
from unauthorizedaccess.Youroperating system
and some applications have softwarecontrol
password security features that allows you to
protect all or portions of the data stored in your
notebook from unauthorized access.
Hardware Data Security Features
When you are using the built-in hardware
control password to gain access to your note-
book the actual password will not appear on
the screen. This is a safety precaution. The
hardware control security parameters are set
from the BIOS Setup Utility. (See Security Menu
on pages 67–69 for more information on setting
and clearing passwords and enabling and dis-
abling built-in security features.)
C A U T I O N
The Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Pack is
not charged when you purchase your note-
book. Initially you will need to connect the
AC Adapter or the Auto Adapter to use it.
It can take up to 3 hours to charge a
Battery Pack if your notebook is Off or in
Suspend Mode. If your notebook is in use,
it can take up to 9 hours or more to charge
a Battery Pack.

S e c t i o n O n e
10
Software Data Security Features
The operating system and some applications
have security features that are independent of
the built-in hardware protection features that
are controlled from the BIOS. See your software
documentation for more information about
these features.
C A U T I O N
Software security feature passwords may
not be the same as the hardware security
passwords. Be sure you know which fea-
tures are controlled from software and
which from hardware or you may lock
yourself out of your own data or lock
up your hardware and not be able to
operate your notebook.
When you turn on your notebook for the first
time it will perform a power on self test and
display some status information on the screen
with a message:
Press <F2> for Setup.
If you do nothing the system will read the hard
drive for the operating system software and
the Windows 95 Setup Screen will appear.
(See Power On on pages 22–23 for additional
help.) You will then be stepped through the
condition of useand operating system selection
process.You must complete this initial process
before you will be able to use your notebook.
C A U T I O N
Make sure you memorize your passwords
for both hardware and software. If you
forget, you may not be able to use your
notebook, and you will have to contact
your service provider and arrange to
have them reset the hardware system
password. See your software manuals for
what to do if you forget your software
security password(s).
Starting Your Notebook for
the First Time
Booting the System
The first time that you turn on your notebook
you will need to attach your AC Adapter as the
battery is not charged when it arrives. We
strongly recommend that you do not attach any
other external devices and do not put any CD
or floppy disk in the drives until you have gone
through the initial power on sequence.
C A U T I O N
If you have purchased a system which
allows you to use a choice of operating
systems, the Operating System selection
can only be made once. You cannot
change your mind, the option will never
be available again.

Conditions of Use
The first time you start your notebook you must
confirm your acceptance of the copyright limi-
tations for your pre-installed software. If you
have purchased aunit which allows you to
use a choice of operating systems you must
choose between Windows 95 and Windows for
Workgroups. Once you have chosen your oper-
ating system you cannot change your mind, the
other system will not be available to you.Please
decide carefully.After your notebook completes
the installation of the operating system it will
not ask you again for confirmation of the condi-
tions of use nor to choose an operating system.
Every LifeBook 400 Series Model has 10 screens
to read carefully and/or answer questions by
typing in information. If your notebook has a
choice to use Windows for Workgroups there
will be three additional screens. All of the
screens are Windows 95 Setup screens.
You cannot use your notebook until this setup
process is completed. The bottom of each
screen has a <Back Button, a Next> Button
and a Cancel Button which are activated by
the Integrated Touchpad Pointing Device cursor
control and button click. The <Back Button
will return you to the previous screen. The
Next> Button activates any choices or informa-
tion you have entered and takes you on to the
next screen. The Cancel Button allows you to
stop the setup process. If you stop the process
your notebook will come back to the place in
