Welcome!
Congratulations on your acquisition of Gulfstream’s
PlaneBook™. To obtain the most value from your invest-
ment, it is suggested that you take the time to read this
manual and learn how to use the system.
Important Numbers
Record the configuration part number (Configuration P/N)
and unit serial number (S/N) here in case your unit ever
needs service or if you need to contact technical support.
Both of these numbers can be found on the bottom of the
unit, on two white decals. The configuration part number
(Configuration P/N) decal is usually placed above the serial

Technical Support
It is our foremost concern to ensure that you are always
100% satisfied with PlaneBook™, including support after
the sale. Given that a computer is still a machine, however,
it is foreseeable that machines will break from time to time.
We ask that you please take the following steps toward
obtaining technical support:
1. Ensure you’ve first checked all of the documentation
that was included with the Fujitsu FG-1620G Tablet PC,
the PlaneBook™ Quick Reference Guide, and this
PlaneBook™ Owner’s Manual.
2. If you are unable to solve your problem using the docu-
mentation, contact Flight Crew Technical Information us-
ing the information on the following page.

Second Tier Technical Support
Our staff at Gulfstream should be able to answer any ques-

of the Fujitsu FG-1620G Tablet PC. However, if we determine
the problem is with the PC itself and not the PlaneBook™ sys-

get back in touch with you, or we may escalate your issue
directly to our PC provider for assistance.
Regardless of your technical support issue, we request
that you always contact Gulfstream first to ensure the
best and quickest service.

PLANEBOOKTM OWNER’S MANUAL

1. Getting to Know PlaneBook™
References Available
In addition to this owner’s manual, the following refer-
ences are available to assist you in getting to know
PlaneBook™. References to these guides will be given
throughout this manual:
• PlaneBook™ Quick Reference Guide
• Fujitsu’s “User’s Guide” for the Lifebook®P1620
Notebook
It is recommended that all of the above guides be read
and understood in order to minimize any otherwise
preventable “downtime” of PlaneBook™.
2. The Operating State of Your Tablet:
PlaneBook™ Mode versus Windows®
Mode
The Fujitsu FG-1620G PlaneBook™ system is capable
of operation in two different modes: Windows®mode
and PlaneBook™ mode.
Changing from Windows®mode to PlaneBook™ mode
(and vice versa) is described on page 4 of this guide.
Windows®Mode
When in Windows®mode, the FG-1620G functions as a
laptop PC, using Microsoft Windows®XP Tablet PC
Edition as its base operating system. Functions and
features in this mode are compatible with what is
expected of an ordinary compact tablet PC.

PLANEBOOKTM OWNER’S MANUAL
PlaneBook™ Owner’s Manual 2 © Gulfstream 2008
PlaneBook™ Mode
When in PlaneBook™ mode, the FG-1620G functions
as an electronic document management (EDM) tool for
flight crews who desire to operate in a paperless cock-
pit environment in accordance with FAA Advisory Cir-
cular No. 91-78, Use of Class 1 or Class 2 Electronic
Flight Bag (EFB), dated 07/20/07, or later approved
version. In addition to providing service as an EDM,
PlaneBook™ also may be loaded with additional data
and/or convenience programs, such as weight and
balance calculators, navigation charts, and aircraft
performance planning software.
3. Hardware Modifications Made for
PlaneBook™
(Refer to Fujitsu’s “User’s Guide” for the Lifebook®
P1620 Notebook, page 21, USING THE LIFEBOOK
APPLICATION PANEL.)
(See illustration on next page.) Two of the five applica-
tion buttons (bottom left corner of the display screen)
have been modified for use when in the PlaneBook™
mode. Buttons 1and 2have been modified to serve as
BRIGHTNESS control buttons. Pushing button 2(↑) in-
creases the screen brightness. Pushing button 1(↓)
decreases the screen brightness. Whenever either
button is pushed, the Brightness Min. / Max. scale is
displayed. The Min. / Max. scale automatically hides a
few seconds after the button is released.
In Windows®mode, buttons 1and 2serve primarily as
Page Up [button 2(↑)] and Page Down [button 1(↓)].
Secondary functions for these buttons can be assigned
at the discretion of the owner when in Windows®mode.

The “Open PlaneBook™ Taskbar” Button
With the PlaneBook™ taskbar hidden, tapping the but-
ton shown below results in the taskbar being displayed
vertically on the right edge of the PlaneBook™ desktop.
With the taskbar visible (but not “pinned”), tapping this
button twice results in the taskbar being hidden from
view.
Note: With the taskbar visible, tapping anywhere on the
tablet screen results in the taskbar being hidden from
view (unless “pinned”). (See next Note.)
Note: The feature described above works only when
the PlaneBook™ taskbar is not “pinned” in the “always
displayed” position. “Pinning” the taskbar is accom-
plished using the Taskbar Pin Control button, located
at bottom of the taskbar, which functions as follows:
“Unpinned” “Pinned”
Taskbar can be
hidden or displayed.
Taskbar remains
displayed.

Clicking this button prints an image of whatever is cur-
rently displayed on the PlaneBook™ desktop.

down menu to be displayed. Each of the selections is
described in the following paragraphs.
Selection of the Pen Calibration utility provides a
method to ensure the stylus is calibrated to interact with
the PC in exactly in the spot it touches. Selection of
this utility causes the following dialog box to be dis-
played, along with a series of “crosshairs” onto which
the stylus should be touched. When the routine is
