and ergonomic design make your LIFEBOOK P Series notebook a user-friendly and reliable notebook.
Your notebook is available in several different versions. Most of the sections in this manual
apply to all models – any differences are indicated separately. Some of the illustrations and
features in this manual may differ from your model and are for guidance only.
Your operating system (e.g. Microsoft Windows) has already been preinstalled
and optimally configured so that you can be up and running from the moment
you switch on your notebook for the first time.
Your notebook features the very latest technology so that you get the best performance from your
computing experience. Depending on the model, the following components may be included:
• Up to 2 GB of main memory (RAM)
• A module bay suitable for housing the following modules: a DVD Super Multi
Drive, a second battery, or a blind insert (Weight Saver)
• USB ports, providing simple expansion options for webcams, game pads, printers and more
• A PC card slot for use with a type II PC card
• An on-board audio controller and two stereo loudspeakers for true audio enjoyment. It is also
possible to connect a microphone and external speakers for even better performance.
For mouse control, the notebook has a touchpad. Briefly touching the touchpad twice
is all that is required to open an application, for example.
With the user-friendly BIOS Setup you can control the hardware of your notebook and better protect
your system against unauthorised access by using the powerful password features.
This Operating Manual tells you how to get your notebook up and running
and how to operate it in daily use.
Further information on this notebook can be found in the following documentation:
• In the "Professional Notebook" Operating Manual
• In the "Safety" and "Warranty" manuals
• In the documentation for the operating system
• In information files (e.g. *.TXT, *.DOC, *.WRI, *.HLP, *.PDF)
You can find information on accessories for your Notebook at
"www.fujitsu-siemens.com/accessories".
