Fujitsu A6110 - LifeBook - Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz User manual

This user’s guide contains information on using the Fujitsu Remote
Control with systems running Microsoft® Windows Vista® Home
Premium or Windows Vista® Ultimate edition as the operating system.
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 perform such operations as playing DVDs, listening to music,
or viewing digital photo albums.
If you have a TV tuner installed (built-in, installed on PC Card, or
connected externally via USB), you can use the remote to control the
channel and volume, pause live TV, and record TV programs.
Figs. 1 through 3 illustrate the three ways your system can be
configured:
■No TV Tuner
■Built-in TV Tuner with direct signal
■External TV Tuner
Note that the port locations and system
configurations illustrated in this manual may differ
from your actual configuration. See you system
user’s guide for actual location/configuration.

do so, perform the following simple steps:
1. Click on Start -> Control Panel.
2. If you are in Classic View, double-click the Windows Mobility
Center icon. If you are in Control Panel Home View, first click
Mobile PC, then select Windows Mobility Center.

3. Find the tile labeled “Wake up by USB device”, and see if it is
set to Enable or Disable.
4. If it is set to Enable, click the [Change] button. If it is set to
Disable, no action is required.
Using the remote control
To use the remote control, you must use the remote control receiver
included with the remote control. If your system has an infrared
port, it 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.
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.
