Fujitsu N6110 - LifeBook - Pentium M 1.86 GHz User manual

This user’s guide contains information on using the Fujitsu Remote
Control with systems running Microsoft® Windows® XP Media
Center Edition as the operating system. The remote control can be
used with a system running Windows XP Media Center Edition,
whether the system has an internal TV tuner or not.
You are strongly advised to read this manual to familiarize yourself
with the features of the remote control.
Determining Your System Configuration
Your remote control can be used with your computer whether you
have a TV tuner or not. If you do not have a TV tuner, you can use
the remote control to operate the Windows XP Media Center
Edition features, such as playing DVDs, listening to music, or
viewing digital photo albums.
If you have a TV tuner installed, you can use the remote to control
the channel and volume, pause live TV, and record TV programs.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 illustrate the three ways your system can be
configured:
■No TV Tuner
■TV Tuner with direct signal
■TV Tuner with signal routed through set-top box

Connecting optical remote control IR receiver
Connect the USB connector on the end of the remote control to one
of the USB ports on your computer that are labeled “IR Remote”
(Figure 6). Note that the location of the USB port on your system
may not be the same as that shown in the figure. Refer to the system
user’s guide for the location of the USB ports.
Figure 6. Connecting the optical remote control receiver
The USB ports that can be used to connect the
optical remote control IR receiver cable are
labeled “IR Remote”. Use only the labeled

Connecting infrared control cable
The infrared control cable is for when you are using a television
connected to a set-top box, such as a cable vision box. The cable
should be installed covering the infrared receiver of the set-top box.
1. Connect the infrared control cable to either of the jacks on the
rear side of the optical remote control receiver.
Figure 7. Connecting the infrared control cable
2. Peel the adhesive sticker from the back of the light emitter end
of the IR Blaster (infrared control) cable (Figure 8.) Position
the light emitter so that it covers the infrared receiver of the
set-top box as in Figure 9. (You can identify the receiver
because it flashes red when you press the set-top box remote
control.) Press the light emitter into place so that the adhesive
sticks it to the infrared receiver as in Figure 10.

Setting up the BIOS for use of remote control

This will open the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with
the current settings displayed.
3. Press the right and left arrow keys to move to the Advanced
menu.
4. Using the arrow keys, go to Miscellaneous Configurations and
press the [Enter] key.
5. From the Miscellaneous Configurations submenu, select Wake
On USB. Press the arrow keys or spacebar (depending upon
your notebook model) to change the state of Wake On USB to

Using the remote control
To use the remote control to operate Media Center Edition, you
must use the remote control receiver included with the remote
control. The system infrared port cannot be used to operate the
remote control.
Note the following when using the remote control:
■The receiver should be placed in a location where it is not
obstructed. You should be able to point the remote control
directly at the receiver. Keep the receiver out of direct sunlight,
otherwise reception may prove faulty and the effective distance
may be affected.
■If a plasma display, plasma TV, or halogen heater is located close
to the device, the remote control may not work properly due to
infrared interference. Relocate the devices if they interfere with
the remote control operation.
■The infrared control cable should be fixed as close as possible to
the remote control receiver of the set-top box so as to avoid
directing the signal to the computer’s infrared port.
Using the remote control is fairly intuitive. For specific information
on using particular features, click the Start button to display the
main menu. Scroll down to Settings and press the OK button. A
submenu containing a variety of help topics appear. Click on the
desired submenu to access related topics.
To exit the Help menu, click on the Start button to return to the
main menu.
