Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows  
CURSOR KEYS  
operating system and function the same as the  
onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on  
your pointing device.  
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard  
which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left, and  
right in applications. In programs such as Windows  
Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up,  
down, left, or right). (Figure 2-18)  
20  
G e t t i n g t o K n o w Yo u r Ta b l e t P C

you would use the portrait orientation; when accessing  
spreadsheets or using the system as a notebook, you  
would more typically use landscape orientation.  
When you press the Screen Rotation button when the  
system is in pre-boot, the system screen orientation  
changes from portrait (vertical) to landscape (hori-  
zontal) or from landscape to portrait.  
When the system is changed to tablet configuration, the  
orientation automatically changes to portrait mode by  
default.

password.  
The user and supervisor password may be set on this  
Tablet PC. A supervisor password is typically the same  
for all tablets and notebooks in a work group, office, or  
company to allow for system management. Individual  
computers in a group environment should not use a  
common password. A password consists of one to five  
button strokes plus the enter button. A valid stroke  
consists of pushing one or up to four buttons simulta-  
neously.  
You may change or remove the supervisor  
or user password by repeating the steps  
defined above.

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left  
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does  
not function with the right button. To double-click,  
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press  
and release the left button twice. (Figure 2-22)  
The Touchpad pointing device built into your Tablet PC  
is used to control the movement of the cursor to select  
items on your display panel. The Touchpad is composed  
of a cursor control, left and right buttons, and a scroll  
button.  
The cursor control works the same way a mouse does,  
and moves the cursor around the display. It only  
requires light pressure with the tip of your finger. The  
left and right buttons function the same as left and right  
mouse buttons. The scroll button allows you to navigate  
through pages quickly without using the scroll bars. The  
actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending  
on the application that is being used. (Figure 2-20)

Volume Control  
Your Fujitsu Tablet PC has multiple volume controls  
which interact with each other.  
Any software that contains audio files will  
also contain a volume control of its own. If  
you install an external audio device that has  
an independent volume control, the  
hardware volume control and the software  
volume control will interact with each other.  
It should be noted that if you set your  
software volume to Off, you will override  
the external volume control setting.  
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME  
The volume can be controlled in several different ways:  
Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on  
the Taskbar.  
Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9] func-  
tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]  
will decrease the volume of your Tablet PC. Pressing  
[F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the  
volume of your Tablet PC.  
Volume can be controlled by many volume controls  
that are set within individual applications.  
Certain external audio devices you might connect to  
your system may have hardware volume controls.  
Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on  
the volume level that must then be followed by the  
other sources.  
We recommend that you experiment with the various  
volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

Pen and Active Digitizer  
USING THE PEN  
You can use the LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC pen to  
generate and create electronic “ink, to select items, and  
to navigate through programs on the Tablet PC.  
Programs that support handwriting recognition also  
allow you to write characters directly on the screen with  
the pen. You can also use the pen as a drawing tool.  
The rear toggle, eraser, and tip click pressures can be  
changed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel, and  
double-clicking the Fujitsu Pen Settings icon. Note that  
the rear toggle switch and the eraser switch are both  
affected by the same settings; they cannot be changed  
individually.  
To change the rear toggle and eraser button function,  
select the drop-down list to select a new function, then  
click [Apply]. If you don’t want the rear toggle and  
button switch to have any function, select Ignore from  
the list.  
You are advised to use a screen protector  
on your system display to minimize the  
chance of its being scratched. Screen  
protectors are available from the Fujitsu  
Website at us.fujitsu.com/computers.  
Adjusting the click pressure determines how much pres-  
sure must be put on the pen tip in order for the screen to  
react. The softer it is set, less pressure is required; the  
harder it is set, more pressure is required. To change the  
click pressure, use the slider bar to make the click pres-  
sure harder or softer, then click [Apply].  
Eraser Button  
Barrel Switch  
Tip Switch  
Use only the pen provided with your  
Tablet PC. Do not use substitutes that  
were not designed for the LifeBook T4200  
Series Tablet PC.  
Figure 2-25. LifeBook T4200 Series Pen  
Here are some hints that may help you use the pen more  
effectively:  
The LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC pen  
is a high-quality electronic instrument that  
can be damaged if used improperly. Treat  
the pen as you would any precision device.  
Observe the following guidelines:  
To activate the tip switch, tap or hold the pen tip  
against the screen.  
To activate the barrel button switch, press and hold  
the end of the button you wish to use (front toggle is  
the right mouse button switch; the rear toggle and  
eraser button both act as electronic “erasers”).  
• Do not tap the pen on surfaces other  
than the Tablet PC screen.  
• Do not try to turn the thumb grip on  
the pen; it is designed for inserting and  
removing the pen from the pen holder.  
To move the cursor, hold the pen tip within 1/8 inch  
(3 - 5 mm) from the screen and move the pen.  
To start a program, double-tap the pen tip (tap the  
pen tip twice rapidly) on the program icon as you  
would double-click a mouse.  
• Never store the pen with the tip bearing  
the weight of the pen (e.g., sitting tip  
down in a pencil cup). Storing the pen  
tip down could distort the internal  
mechanism over a period of time  
(especially in higher temperatures),  
causing the tip to act as if it is always  
depressed. The pen should be stored in  
the pen holder when not in use.  
To select an object, tap the pen tip on the object  
once.  
To double-click an object, quickly tap the object  
twice.  
INSTALLING A PEN TETHER  
The screen reacts when the pen tip is approximately 1/8  
inch (3-5 mm) from the screen. The pen has four  
switches: a tip switch, a barrel button toggle switch with  
switches at both ends, and an "eraser" switch, located on  
the end of the barrel. By default, the tip switch corre-  
sponds to the left mouse button, and the front toggle  
(closest to the pen tip) barrel button switch corresponds  
To prevent dropping or losing your pen, you should  
attach it to your system using the pen tether that is  
included with the system.  
To attach the pen tether to your Tablet PC, perform the  
following steps:  
30  
G e t t i n g t o K n o w Yo u r Ta b l e t P C  
1. Attach the end of the pen tether with the smaller  
loop to your pen. To do so, push the end of the  
tether through the hole in the pen, then thread the  
opposite end of the tether through the loop. (See  
Figure 2-26.)

Figure 2-26. Installing a Pen Tether  
USING THE ACTIVE DIGITIZER  
2. Attach the end of the pen tether with the larger loop  
to the attachment point on your tablet. To do so,  
insert the end of the pen tether through the attach-  
ment point, then feed the pen through the large  
loop in the tether.  
The integrated active digitizer allows you to use the  
included pen as a pointing device. You can use the pen  
to click, double-click, drag items and icons, or to draw  
like a pen or pencil in applications that support this  
behavior, such as drawing or painting programs. See the  
documentation that came with your application for  
details. (Figure 2-28)  
CALIBRATING THE PEN  
In order to ensure accurate tracking between the pen  
and cursor, you must run the Touch Screen Calibration  
Utility before you use the active digitizer for the first  
time, or after you change the display resolution.  
To run the calibration utility:  
1. Go to Start -> Control Panel and double-click on  
the Tablet and Pen Settings icon.  
2. Click Calibrate.  
3. Adjust the display of your Tablet PC to a comfort-  
able angle.  
4. Using the pen, firmly touch the screen directly on  
the (+) symbol; the (+) symbol will move to the  
next location.  
Figure 2-28. Using the pen with the screen  
5. Repeat step 4 in the four corners, then click OK.  
To avoid potential scratching and damage,  
never use anything but the included pen  
with the display.  
REPLACING THE PEN TIP  
With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up  
foreign particles that can scratch the screen. A damaged  
or worn tip may not move freely, causing unpredictable  
results when using the pen. If your pen exhibits these  
problems, you should replace the pen tip. To do so, use  
the pen tip removal tool included with your pen.  
To purchase additional or replacement  
pens, visit the Fujitsu accessories Website  
at: http://us.fujitsu.com/computers.  
Clicking  
To remove the tip, position the tip in the gap between  
the two ends of the tool (Figure 2-27). Pinch the tool  
together so the tip is firmly clasped, then pull it from the  
barrel. If the tip is worn or damaged, discard it.  
To left-click, touch the object you wish to select and then  
lift the pen tip immediately. (Figure 2-29)  
To right-click, press the front button on the barrel  
switch or touch the pen to the screen for a couple of  
seconds until the right mouse icon appears at the tip.

Power Management  
Your LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC has many options  
and features for conserving battery power. Some of these  
features are automatic and need no user intervention,  
such as those for the internal modem. However, others  
depend on the parameters you set to best suit your oper-  
ating conditions, such as those for the display bright-  
ness. Internal power management for your Tablet PC  
may be controlled from settings made in your operating  
system, pre-bundled power management application, or  
from settings made in BIOS setup utility.  
Besides the options available for conserving battery  
power, there are also some things that you can do to  
prevent your Tablet PC battery from running down as  
quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate  
power saving profile, put your Tablet PC into Standby  
mode when it is not performing an operation, and you  
can limit the use of high power devices. As with all  
mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off  
between performance and power savings.

When your Tablet PC is active, the Suspend/Resume  
button can be used to manually put your Tablet PC into  
Standby mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button when  
your Tablet PC is active, but not actively accessing  
anything, and immediately release the button. You will  
hear two short beeps and your system will enter Standby  
mode. (See figure 2-6 on page 13 for location).  
Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your  
Tablet PC’s system memory during periods of inactivity  
by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will  
turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of  
the other internal components except those necessary to  
maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your  
Tablet PC can be put in Standby mode by:  
If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Suspend/  
Resume button will return your Tablet PC to active  
operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in  
Standby mode by looking at the Power indicator. See

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the  
AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the  
battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is  
installed in your Tablet PC and connect the AC or Auto/  
Airline adapter.  
Lithium ion Battery  
Your LifeBook T4200 Series Tablet PC has a Lithium ion  
battery that provides power for operating your Tablet  
PC when no external power source is available. The  
battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be  
exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemi-  
cals or other hazards.  
Make sure that the Battery Charging  
indicator and the percentage charge is  
shown inside the Battery Level icon on the  
Status Indicator Panel.  
The Lithium ion battery operating time may become  
shorter if it is used under the following conditions:  
When used at temperatures lower than 41° F (5° C) or  
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery,  
therefore you do not need to discharge the battery  
completely before recharging. The charge times will be  
longer if your Tablet PC is in use while the battery is  
charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly,  
put your Tablet PC into Standby mode, or turn it off  
while the adapter is charging the battery. See “Power  
Management” on page 36.  
higher than 95° F (35° C). Extreme temperatures not  
only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause  
battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status  
Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a  
battery that is outside its operating temperature range.  
See “Battery Charging/ Level Indicators” on page 16.  
When using a high current device such as a modem,  
CD-ROM drive, or hard drive, using the AC adapter  
will conserve your battery life.  
Using heavy current devices such as a  
modem or frequent CD-ROM and  
PCMCIA powered external device accesses  
may prevent charging completely.  
Do not leave a faulty battery in your  
Tablet PC. It may damage your AC  
adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter,  
another battery or your Tablet PC itself.  
It may also prevent operation of your  
Tablet PC by draining all available cur-  
rent into the bad battery.  
Low Battery State  
When the battery is running low, your Tablet PC will  
beep every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator  
will flash. If you do not respond to the low battery  
alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge until they  
are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a  
multiple beep alarm and the Battery Level indicator will  
show a dead battery. Your Tablet PC will then go into  
Standby mode to try and protect your data for as long as  
possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not be  
lost once the Tablet PC reaches this point.  
Under federal, state, or local law it may  
be illegal to dispose of batteries by  
putting them in the trash. Please take  
care of our environment and dispose of  
batteries properly. Check with your local  
government authority for details  
regarding recycling or disposing of old  
batteries. If you cannot find this infor-  
mation elsewhere, contact your support  
representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu.  
You may not be able to hear the alarm if  
the volume control is set too low or is  
turned off by the hardware or software.  
However, you will be able to see the  
Battery Level indicator flash. Once the  
low battery alarm occurs you must save  
all your data and put your Tablet PC into  
Standby mode until you can provide a  
new power source. You should provide a  
charged battery or AC or Auto/Airline  
Adapter as soon as possible.  
Actual battery life will vary based on  
screen brightness, applications, features,  
power management settings, battery  
condition and other customer preferences.  
CD-ROM drive or hard drive usage may  
also have a significant impact on battery  
life. The battery charging capacity is  
reduced as the battery ages. If your  
battery is running low quickly, you should  
replace it with a new one.  
When you are in Standby mode there  
must always be at least one power  
source active. If you remove all power  
sources while your Tablet PC is in  
RECHARGING THE BATTERY  
Standby mode, any data that has not  
been saved to the hard drive will be lost.  
If you want to know the condition of the Lithium ion  
battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the  
Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the  
battery level changes.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-  
cator just like the normal Standby mode. Once your  
Tablet PC goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you  
will be unable to resume operation until you provide  
a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged  
battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to  
press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.  
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be  
maintained for some time, but if a power source is not  
provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop  
flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data  
that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can  
continue to use your Tablet PC while an adapter is  
charging the battery.  
Battery Release Latches  
Shorted Batteries  
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the  
battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display  
the operating level available in that battery.  
(See figure on page 16) If this display shows a Shorted  
Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must  
be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your  
Tablet PC.

touch a grounded metal object to  
discharge static electricity built up in  
your body.  
When installing or removing a  
memory module, hold it by the edge  
so as not to touch any contacts or  
chips. Be careful not to touch any  
internal computer terminals or  
components; the oil from your  
fingers could cause a short to the  
components.  
Be sure to power down your system  
before adding or removing memory  
modules. Even if the system is in  
hibernate or standby states, data  
could be lost or the memory could be  
damaged if power is still available to  
the system.

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY  
Once you have changed the system memory capacity by  
either adding or removing a memory upgrade module,  
be sure to check that your tablet has recognized the  
change.  
The memory upgrade module is not  
something you routinely remove from  
your tablet. Once it is installed, you should  
leave it in place unless you want to change  
system memory capacity.  
Your Tablet PC uses Dynamic Video  
Memory Technology (DVMT), which  
allows the video driver to dynamically  
determine the amount of memory that is  
used. Your system can use the following  
maximums for video functions:  
REMOVING A MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE  
1. Perform steps 1 through 4 of Installing a Memory  
Upgrade Module.  
2. Pull the clips sideways away from each side of the  
memory upgrade module at the same time.  
3. While holding the clips out, remove the module  
from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the  
rear of your tablet. (Figure 4-5)  
Windows XP: 128 MB  
Windows Vista: 64 MB (with 512 MB  
system memory); 256 MB (with 1 GB  
system memory); 384 MB 9 with 1.5 GB or  
more system memory).  
You can check the memory capacity by clicking [Start]  
-> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon.  
Select the General tab and check the amount of memory  
under “Computer.”  
Figure 4-5. Removing a Memory Upgrade Module  
The amount of memory displayed should be approxi-  
mately the total of all memory modules installed. There  
may be a discrepancy of 8 MB which is allocated for  
fixed video memory.  
4. Store the memory upgrade module in a static  
guarded sleeve.  
5. Replace the cover. (Figure 4-4)  
6. Replace the screws.  
If the total memory displayed is incorrect,  
check that your memory upgrade module  
is properly installed. (If the module is  
properly installed and the capacity is still  
not correctly recognized, see  
Troubleshooting on page 58.

INFRARED PORT  
The Infrared IrDA 1.1 (4 Mbps) port allows for wireless  
data transfer between your Tablet PC and other IrDA-  
compatible devices, such as another computer or a  
printer, without the use of a cable. (See Figure 2-7 on  
page 14 for location)  
The internal modem is designed to the  
ITU V.90 standard. Its maximum speed  
of 53000 bps is the highest allowed by  
FCC, and its actual connection rate  
depends on the line conditions. The  
maximum speed is 33600 bps at upload.  
It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out  
this form of communication, both devices must be  
placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each  
other without obstruction. The devices must also be  
separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for  
maximum performance.  
The internal modem on all LifeBook  
T4200 Series Tablet PC’s from Fujitsu  
Computer Systems Corporation are  
certified for use in the United States and  
Canada.  
The following conditions may interfere with infrared  
communications:  
INTERNAL LAN (RJ-45) JACK  
The internal LAN (RJ-45) jack is used for an internal 10/  
100/1000 Base-T/Tx (Gigabit) Ethernet connection. You  
will need to configure your Tablet PC to work with your  
particular network. (Please refer to your network  
administrator for information on your network  
configuration.) To connect the LAN cable follow these  
easy steps: (See Figure 2-7 on page 14 for location)  
A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless  
headphone is being used nearby.  
Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent  
light shines directly on the port.  
Do not move either device while com-  
munication is active as it may interrupt  
data transmission.  
Note that the optional Port Replicator is  
designed to cover the LAN jack located on  
the system. This ensures that the LAN jack  
on the Port Replicator is the only one used  
when the Port Replicator is installed.  
Be careful not to scratch the infrared  
port lens. Scratches, dirt, or other sur-  
face marks can degrade operation.

*Keyboard controller error  
POWER ON SELF TEST MESSAGES  
The keyboard controller test failed. You may have to  
replace your keyboard or keyboard controller but may  
be able to use an external keyboard until then. Contact  
your support representative.  
The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-status  
messages that Phoenix BIOS and/or your operating  
system can generate and an explanation of each message.  
Error messages are marked with an *. If an error  
message is displayed that is not in this list, write it down  
and check your operating system documentation both  
on screen and in the manual. If you can find no  
reference to the message and its meaning is not clear,  
contact your support representative for assistance.  
*Keyboard error  
Keyboard not working. You may have to replace your  
keyboard or keyboard controller but may be able to  
use an external keyboard until then. Contact your  
support representative.  
nnnn Cache SRAM Passed  
*Keyboard error nn  
Where nnnn is the amount of system cache in kilobytes  
successfully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This can  
only appear if you have an SRAM PC Card installed.)  
BIOS discovered a stuck key and displays the scan code  
for the stuck key. You may have to replace your keyboard  
but may be able to use an external keyboard until then.  
Contact your support representative.  
*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn  
Extended memory not working or not configured prop-  
erly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module,  
verify that the module is properly installed. If it is prop-  
erly installed, you may want to check your Windows  
Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory  
until you can contact your support representative.  
*Operating system not found  
Operating system cannot be located on either drive A: or  
drive C: Enter the setup utility and see if both the fixed  
disk, and drive A: are properly identified and that the  
boot sequence is set correctly. Unless you have changed  
your installation greatly, the operating system should be  
on drive C:. If the setup utility is correctly set, your hard  
drive may be corrupted and your system may have to be  
re-installed from your back up media.  
nnnn Extended RAM Passed  
Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes  
successfully tested.  
*Parity Check 1 nnnn  
*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn  
Parity error found in the system bus. BIOS attempts to  
locate the address and display it on the screen. If it  
cannot locate the address, it displays “????. This is a  
potentially data destroying failure. Contact your  
support representative.  
This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in  
System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the  
memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed  
bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data  
if you continue. Contact your support representative.  
*Parity Check 2 nnnn  
*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller  
Failure (where x = 1-4)  
Parity error found in the I/O bus. BIOS attempts to  
locate the address and display it on the screen. If it  
cannot locate the address, it displays “????. This is a  
potentially data destroying failure. Contact your  
support representative.  
The fixed disk is not working or not configured prop-  
erly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified  
in your setup utility does not agree with the type  
detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility  
to check for the hard drive type settings and correct  
them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message  
appears when you restart the system, there may be a  
serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you  
continue. Contact your support representative.  
*Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to SETUP  
Displayed after any recoverable error message. Press  
the [F1] key to continue the boot process or the [F2]

*Invalid NVRAM media type  
Problem with NVRAM access. In the unlikely case that  
you see this message you may have some display prob-  
lems. You can continue operating but should contact  
your support representative for more information.  
Previous Power On Self Test did not complete success-  
fully. The Power On Self Test will load default values and  
offer to run Setup. If the previous failure was caused by  
incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next  
boot will likely fail also. If using the default settings does  
not allow you to complete a successful boot sequence,  
you should turn off the power and contact your support  
representative.

Real-time clock fails BIOS test. May require board repair.  
MODEM RESULT CODES  
The operating system and application software that is  
factory installed detects the modem characteristics and  
provides the necessary command strings to operate the  
modem. The internal modem operation is controlled by  
generic AT commands from the operating system and  
application software. The standard long form result  
codes may, in some cases, be displayed on your screen to  
keep you informed of the actions of your modem. The  
operating system and application software may suppress  
display of the result codes.  
Contact your support representative.

If you accidentally spill liquid on your Tablet PC:  
1. Turn it off.  
2. Position it so that the liquid can run out.  
3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.  
4. If your Tablet PC will not boot after it has dried  
out, call your support representative.  
The system contains components that  
can be severely damaged by electro-  
static discharge (ESD). To minimize risk  
to the components, observe the  
following precautions:  
Before docking or undocking your  
Do not use your Tablet PC in a wet environment (near  
a bathtub, swimming pool).  
LifeBook notebook (when using a port  
replicator), it is a good practice to  
always touch a grounded metal object  
to discharge static electricity built up  
in your body.  
Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are  
approved for your Tablet PC.  
Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental  
hazards.  
Be sure to power down your system  
before adding or removing system  
components. Even if the system is in  
hibernate or standby states, data  
could be lost or memory could be  
damaged if power is still available to  
the system.  
Do not expose your Tablet PC to direct sunlight for  
long periods of time at temperatures above 140° F  
(60° C) may damage your Tablet PC.  
Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots  
when they are not in use.  
When installing or removing a  
memory module, hold it by the edge  
so as not to touch any contacts or  
chips. Be careful not to touch any  
internal computer terminals or compo-  
nents; the oil from your fingers could  
cause a short to the components.  
If you are carrying your Tablet PC in a briefcase, or  
any other carrying case, make sure that there are no  
objects in the case pressing on the lid.  
Do not drop your Tablet PC.  
Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.  
Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.  
Electrical equipment may be hazardous if  
misused. Operations of this product or  
similar products, must always be super-  
vised by an adult. Do not allow children  
access to the interior of any electrical  
products and do not permit them to  
handle any cables.  
Cleaning your Tablet PC  
Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not  
the cord.)  
Clean your Tablet PC with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do  
not use abrasives or solvents.

the Tablet PC off, fully charge the battery, then remove  
and store all Lithium ion batteries.  
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Any  
unauthorized service performed on the computer will  
void the warranty.  
Store your Tablet PC and batteries separately. If you  
store your Tablet PC with a battery installed, the bat-  
tery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In  
addition, a faulty battery might damage the Tablet PC.  
To protect your computer from damage and to opti-  
mize system performance, be sure to keep all air all  
vents unobstructed, clean, and clear of debris. This  
may require periodic cleaning, depending upon the  
environment in which the system is used.  
Store your Tablet PC in a cool, dry location.  
Temperatures should remain between 13º F (-25º C)  
and 140º F (60º C).

Traveling with your Tablet PC  
Do not transport your Tablet PC while it is turned on.  
There is no repair for this problem other than replace-  
ment. The solution is to become aware of the issue and  
take appropriate steps to protect your keyboard.  
Do not check your Tablet PC as baggage. Carry it with  
you.  
To clean the keyboard, use a rag dampened slightly with  
cleaning solution. Use extreme care to prevent liquid  
from dripping between the keys. Spraying directly on the  
keys should be avoided. The spray should be applied first  
to the cloth, and then the cloth wiped over the keys.  
When traveling with the hard drive removed, wrap the  
drive in a non-conducting materials (cloth or paper).  
If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to  
install the drive if needed. Never put your hard drive  
through a metal detector. Have your hard drive hand-  
inspected by security personnel. You can however, put  
your hard drive through a properly tuned X-ray  
machine.  
BATTERIES  
Caring for your Batteries  
Always handle batteries carefully.  
Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling  
overseas. Check the following diagram to determine  
which adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.  
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do  
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not  
carry loose batteries in a pocket or purse where they  
may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects.  
Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.

KEYBOARD  
Caring for your Keyboard  
Eject PCMCIA cards when not in use.  
The keyboard of your computer is a very sensitive  
instrument. It is made up of many switches that are  
activated when you press on the keys. The keyboard is a  
major component of the heat dissipation system in a  
Tablet PC. Due to heat and size considerations the  
keyboard is not sealed. Because the keys are so close  
together, it is not easy for the user to see when liquids  
have fallen onto the circuitry below the keys.  
OPTIONAL FLOPPY DISK DRIVE AND  
FLOPPY DISKS  
Caring for your Floppy Disks  
Avoid using floppy disks in damp and dusty locations.  
Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic  
field.  
Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label.  
Attempting to clean the keyboard with a spray on  
cleaner or rag soaked with cleaner the liquid can drip  
onto the circuitry sight unseen. Once the liquid seeps  
between the layers of circuitry, it can cause corrosion or  
other damage to the circuits. This can result in keys  
which no longer operate, or which, when pressed, record  
the wrong characters and other similar failures.  
Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold  
locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature  
changes. Store at temperatures between 50º F (10º C)  
and 125º F (52º C).  
Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the  
metal shutter.

Always store your discs in their case when not in use.  
Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching  
the surface.  
Avoid storing any discs in extreme temperatures.  
Do not bend discs or set heavy objects on them.  
Do not spill liquids on discs.  
Do not scratch discs.  
Do not put a label on discs.  
Do not get dust on discs.  
Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen  
or pencil. Always use a felt pen.  
If a disc is subjected to a sudden change in tempera-  
ture, cold to warm condensation may form on the sur-  
face. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free  
cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use  
a hair dryer or heater to dry discs.  
If a disc is dirty, use only a disc cleaner or wipe it with  
a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner  
edge and wiping to the outer edge.

Regulatory Notes and Statements  
Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use  
FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement  
Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless  
LAN (WLAN) devices. The energy levels of these emissions,  
however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emis-  
sions from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Wireless LAN  
devices are safe for use by consumers because they operate within  
the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and  
recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN devices may be  
restricted in some situations or environments, such as:  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health  
problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.  
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices  
are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of  
radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being  
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by  
heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce  
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many  
studies of low-level RF exposure have not found any biological  
effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects  
might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by addi-  
tional research. The wireless LAN radio device has been tested  
and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth  
for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio  
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65.  
The maximum SAR value measured from the devices are:  
On board an airplane, or  
In an explosive environment, or  
In situations where the interference risk to other devices or ser-  
vices is perceived or identified as harmful.  
In cases in which the policy regarding use of Wireless LAN devices  
in specific environments is not clear (e.g., airports, hospitals,  
chemical/oil/gas industrial plants, hospitals, private buildings),  
obtain authorization to use these devices prior to operating the  
equipment.

Before Using the Wireless LAN  
This manual describes the procedures required to prop-  
erly setup and configure the integrated Wireless LAN  
Mini-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the  
rest of the manual). Before using the WLAN device, read  
this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation.  
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.  
The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at a  
the maximum data rate of 540 Mbps (theoretical) in  
IEEE802.11n (draft) mode; 54 Mbps in IEEE802.11a  
or IEEE802.11g mode; and 11 Mbps in IEEE802.11b  
mode.  
The WLAN device supports the following encryption  
methods - WEP, TKIP, CKIP, and AES encryption.  
Please note throughout this document that  
-- at the time of publication -- the 802.11n  
standard has not yet been ratified, and is  
still in draft stage.  
The Wireless LAN device is compliant with the follow-  
ing standards: WPA, WPA2, CCX1.0, CCX2.0,  
CCX3.0, and CCX4.0.  
Wireless LAN Devices Covered by this Document  
This document is applicable to systems containing one  
of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are  
identical. Sections that differ between the two devices  
have been noted in the text:  
WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE  
Ad Hoc Mode  
(See Figure A-1) "Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless  
network architecture where wireless network connec-  
tivity between multiple computers is established without  
a central wireless network device, typically known as  
Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only  
client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad  
Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks.  
Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method  
for establishing network connectivity between multiple  
computers. Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network  
authentication, and encryption key settings are identically  
configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.  
Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (802.11a/g/n)  
Atheros® AR5006EXS (AR5BXB6) Mini-Card  
Wireless network card (802.11a+b/g)  
Characteristics of the WLAN Device  
The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the  
main board of the mobile computer.  
The WLAN device operates in license-free RF bands,  
eliminating the need to procure an FCC operating  
license. The WLAN operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial,  
Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band and the lower,  
middle, and upper bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed  
National Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands.  
Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode  
(See Figure A-2) Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless  
network architecture in which devices communicate  
with wireless or wired network devices through an  
Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices  
can communicate with each other or with a wired  
network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infra-  
structure mode because they require access to the wired  
LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services  
such as file servers, printers, and databases.  
The Atheros® AR5006EXS (AR5BXB6) Mini-Card  
Wireless device is capable of three operating modes,  
IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.  
The Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN device is  
capable of four operating modes, IEEE802.11a,  
IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n (draft)

How to Handle This Device  
certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics,  
airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ three  
methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device:  
The WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile  
computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be  
necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Oper-  
ating System that your mobile computer comes with has  
been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.  
Using the Wireless On/Off Switch, or,  
In Windows Vista, using the WLAN icon in the  
taskbar, or,  
WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS  
In Windows XP, using the Intel PROSet Software or  
Atheros Client Utility software.  
The Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG WLAN device sup-  
ports IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.  
Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off Switch  
The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and effi-  
ciently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off  
position. (Figure A-3)  
Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (4965AGN) device  
supports IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g,  
and IEEE802.11n.  
The WLAN device operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band  
and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.  
The Wireless LAN/Bluetooth On/Off  
Switch will power off both the optional  
wireless LAN and Bluetooth devices at the  
same time. To enable or disable either one  
of the devices individually, perform the  
following steps:  
Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of  
WLAN devices since they operate in the same 2.4GHz  
frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices. Interfer-  
ence by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a  
radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.  
1. Slide the Wireless LAN/Bluetooth on/  
off switch to On position.  
Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz range  
may interfere with operation of WLAN devices in  
IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference  
include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects,  
and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended  
that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure  
proper operation of the WLAN device.  
2. In the Control Panel, double-click the  
Fujitsu Radio Control icon.

Troubleshooting the WLAN  
Causes and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the  
following table.  
Problem  
Possible Cause  
Possible Solution  
Incorrect network  
name (SSID) or  
network key  
Ad hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network  
keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured  
correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.  
Unavailable  
network  
connection  
Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID)  
and network key to the same values as those of the access point.  
Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access  
Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if  
necessary.  
For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the section of  
this chapter related to the configuration tool or utility you are using.·  
Weak received signal  
strength and/or link  
quality  
Ad hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to  
the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight.  
Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: Retry connection after short-  
ening the distance to the access point or removing any obstacles for  
better sight.  
(See Confirming connection on page 101 for more information).  
The WLAN device  
has been deactivated  
or disabled  
Check if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify “Disable Radio” is  
not checked in “Network setting” window. (See Activating the WLAN  
Device on page 96 for more information).  
The computer to be  
connected is turned  
off  
Check if the computer to be connected is turned ON.  
RF interference from  
Access Points or  
other wireless  
networks  
The use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference  
with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your  
Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering  
device.  
Wireless network  
authentication has  
failed  
Re-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security  
settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly  
typed WEP key, a mis-configured LEAP username, or an incorrectly  
chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate  
but not authenticate to the wireless network.

Wireless LAN Glossary  
Ad Hoc Mode  
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)  
Ad Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture  
where wireless network connectivity between multiple  
computers is established without a central wireless  
network device, typically known as Access Points.  
Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in  
a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to Ad hoc  
connection” on page 94.  
The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at  
one time in networks including the Internet. In an envi-  
ronment whose maximum size of data is too large to  
correctly receive data, normal communications can be  
restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value.  
Network key  
Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi-  
cation. The personal computer uses the same network  
key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore,  
it is necessary to set the same network key as the other  
side of communication.  
Channel  
Range of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN  
device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22  
MHz wide channels.  
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)  
Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)  
A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate  
IP addresses to computers on a local area network.  
When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is  
performed to avoid interference or data theft. This  
grouping is performed with “Network name (SSID). In  
order to improve security, the network key is set  
allowing no communication unless “Network name  
(SSID)” coincides with the network key.  
DNS (Domain Name System)  
A data query service that provides a mechanism with  
which to translate host names into Internet addresses.  
IEEE802.11a  
Open system authentication  
Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data  
rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz  
lower and middle UNII bands.  
Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan-  
dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire-  
less client before allowing it to associate.  
IEEE802.11b  
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)  
Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data  
rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz  
ISM band.  
A method of allowing the authentication protocol  
adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used  
over an Ethernet.  
Access point  
Protocol  
Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and  
wired network traffic.  
A procedure or rule of delivering data among  
computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by  
making all conditions required for communication  
including the method of data transmission/reception  
and actions upon communication errors into proce-  
dures.  
IP address  
The logical 32-bit host address defined by the Internet  
Protocol that uniquely identifies a computer on a  
network. The IP address is usually expressed in dotted  
decimal notation.  
Shared key authentication  
LAN (Local Area Network)  
802.11 network authentication method in which the AP  
sends the client device a challenge text packet that the  
client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and  
return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no  
key, authentication will fail and the client will not be  
allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentica-  
tion is not considered secure, because a hacker who  
detects both the clear-text challenge and the same chal-  
lenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP  
key.  
A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or  
data communications network) which is confined to a  
limited geographical area.  
MAC address (Media Access Control Address)  
A MAC address (also called an Ethernet address or IEEE  
MAC address) is the 48-bit address (typically written as  
twelve hexadecimal digits, 0 through 9 and A through F,  
or as six hexadecimal numbers separated by periods or  
colons, e.g., 0080002012ef, 0:80:0:2:20:ef) which  
uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet  
interface.  
104  
W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r s G u i d e  
SSID (Service Set Identifier)  
Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier  
attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that  
acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect  
to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from  
another, so all access points and all devices attempting to  
connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A  
device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can  
provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast  
in plain text, it does not supply any security to the  
network.  
Subnet mask  
TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into  
multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists  
of the subnet address and the address of each computer.  
Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address  
comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set  
among computers communicating with each other.  
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet  
Protocol)  
A standard protocol of the Internet.  
Wi-Fi  
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a set of standards for wire-  
less local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE  
802.11 specifications. Certified products can use the  
official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is  
interoperable with any other product also showing that  
logo.

IP address information  
IP addressing is much more complicated  
than can be briefly explained in this  
document. You are advised to consult with  
your network administrator for additional  
information.  
If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows:  
If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the  
network, set the IP address as follows:  
[Obtain an IP address automatically]  
A DHCP server is a server that  
automatically assigns IP addresses to  
computers or other devices in the network.  
There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc  
network.  
If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in  
the network, ask the network administrator to check the  
IP address to be set for the computer.  
If no access point is found in the network:  
An IP address is expressed with four values in the range  
between 1 and 255.  
Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren-  
theses is a subnet mask.

INSTALLING OMNIPASS  
Fingerprint Sensor Device  
If OmniPass has already been installed on your system,  
skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on  
page 114. You can determine whether OmniPass has  
already been installed by checking to see if the following  
are present:  
INTRODUCING THE  
FINGERPRINT SENSOR DEVICE  
Your system has a fingerprint sensor device just below  
the pen storage location. (Figure B-1)  
The presence of the gold key-shaped OmniPass icon in  
the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.  
The presence of the Softex program group in the  
Programs group of the Start menu  
System Requirements  
The OmniPass application requires space on your hard  
drive; it also requires specific Operating Systems (OS’s).  
The minimum requirements are as follows:  
Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Profes-  
sional operating system  
At least 35 MB available hard disk space  
Installing the OmniPass Application  
Figure B-1 Fingerprint sensor  
If OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to  
“User Enrollment” on page 114. Otherwise continue  
with this section on software installation.  
With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter  
a username and password every time you want to:  
Log onto Windows  
For installation, OmniPass requires that the  
user installing OmniPass have  
Recover from suspend mode  
administrative privileges to the system. If  
your current user does not have  
administrative privileges, log out and then  
log in with an administrator user before  
proceeding with OmniPass installation.  
Cancel a password-protected screen saver  
Log into homepages that require a username and pass-  
word  
After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your finger-  
print, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the  
sensor for the system recognize you.  
To install OmniPass on your system you must:  
1. Insert the installation media for the OmniPass appli-  
cation into the appropriate drive. If you are  
installing from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, you must  
find and launch the OmniPass installation program  
(setup.exe) from the media.  
The fingerprint sensor uses Softex OmniPass which  
provides password management capabilities to  
Microsoft Windows operating systems. OmniPass  
enables you to use a "master password" for all Windows,  
applications, and on-line passwords.  
2. Follow the directions provided in the OmniPass  
installation program. Specify a location to which  
you would like OmniPass installed. It is recom-  
mended that you NOT install OmniPass in the root  
directory (e.g. C:\).  
OmniPass requires users to authenticate themselves  
using the fingerprint sensor before granting access to the  
Windows desktop. This device results in a secure  
authentication system for restricting access to your  
computer, applications, websites, and other password-  
protected resources.  
3. Once OmniPass has completed installation you will  
be prompted to restart you system. Once your  
system has rebooted you will be able to use  
OmniPass. If you choose not to restart immediately  
after installation, OmniPass will not be available for  
use until the next reboot.  
OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface,  
through which you can securely manage passwords,  
users, and multiple identities for each user.  
GETTING STARTED  
The installation program automatically places an icon  
(Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well  
as a golden key shaped icon in the taskbar.  
This section guides you through the preparation of your  
system for the OmniPass fingerprint recognition  
application. You will be led through the OmniPass  
installation process. You will also be led through the  
procedure of enrolling your first user into OmniPass.

Verifying Information about OmniPass  
to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of creden-  
tials that you have to remember.  
After you have completed installing OmniPass and  
restarted your system, you may wish to check the version  
of OmniPass on your system.  
During OmniPass user enrollment a "master password”  
is created for the enrolled user. This master password  
“replaces” all other passwords for sites you register with  
OmniPass.  
To check the version information of OmniPass:  
1. From the Windows Desktop, double-click the key-  
shaped OmniPass icon in the taskbar (usually  
located in the lower right corner of the screen),  
or,  
Example: A user, John, installs OmniPass on his system  
(his home computer) and enrolls an OmniPass user with  
username “John_01” and password “freq14. He then  
goes to his webmail site to log onto his account. He  
inputs his webmail credentials as usual (username  
“John_02” and password “lifebook”), but instead of  
clicking [Submit], he directs OmniPass to Remember  
Password. Now whenever he returns to that site,  
OmniPass will prompt him to supply access credentials.  
Click the Start button, select Settings, and click  
Control Panel (if you are using Windows XP you  
will see the Control Panel directly in the Start menu;  
click it, then click Switch to Classic View). Double-  
click Softex OmniPass in the Control Panel, and the  
OmniPass Control Center will appear. If it does not  
appear, then the program is not properly installed,  
or,  
John enters his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01”  
and “freq14”) in the OmniPass authentication prompt,  
and he is allowed into his webmail account. He can do  
this with as many websites or password protected  
resources he likes, and he will gain access to all those  
sites with his OmniPass user credentials (“John_01” and  
“freq14”). This is assuming he is accessing those sites  
with the system onto which he enrolled his OmniPass  
user. OmniPass does not actually change the credentials  
of the password protected resource. If John were to go to  
an Internet cafe to access his webmail, he would need to  
enter his original webmail credentials (“John_02” and  
“lifebook”) to gain access. If he attempts his OmniPass  
user credentials on a system other than where he  
Click the Start button, select Programs, and from  
the submenu select the Softex program group, from  
that submenu click OmniPass Control Center.  
2. Select the About tab at the top of the OmniPass  
Control Panel. The About tab window appears with  
version information about OmniPass.  
Uninstalling OmniPass  
For uninstallation, OmniPass requires that  
the user uninstalling OmniPass have  
administrative privileges to the system. If  
your current user does not have  
enrolled that OmniPass user, he will not gain access.  
administrative privileges, log out and then  
log in with an administrator user before  
proceeding with OmniPass uninstallation.  
The enrollment procedure assumes you  
have no hardware authentication devices  
or alternate storage locations that you  
wish to integrate with OmniPass. If you  
desire such functionality, consult the  
appropriate sections of this document.  
To remove the OmniPass application from your system:  
1. Click Start on the Windows taskbar. Select Settings,  
and then Control Panel.  
2. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.  
Basic Enrollment  
3. Select OmniPass, and then click Change/Remove.  
The Enrollment Wizard will guide you through the  
process of enrolling a user. Unless you specified other-  
wise, after OmniPass installation the Enrollment Wizard  
will launch on Windows login. If you do not see the  
Enrollment Wizard, you can bring it up by clicking Start  
on the Windows taskbar; select Programs; select Softex;  
click OmniPass Enrollment Wizard.  
4. Follow the directions to uninstall the OmniPass  
application.  
5. Once OmniPass has finished uninstalling, reboot  
your system when prompted.  
USER ENROLLMENT  
Before you can use any OmniPass features you must first  
enroll a user into OmniPass.  
1. Click Enroll to proceed to username and password  
verification. By default, the OmniPass Enrollment  
Wizard enters the credentials of the currently logged  
in Windows user.  
Master Password Concept  
Computer resources are often protected with passwords.  
Whether you are logging into your computer, accessing  
your email, e-banking, paying bills online, or accessing  
network resources, you often have to supply credentials  
2. Enter the password you use to log in to Windows.  
This will become the “master password” for this  
OmniPass user. In most cases, the Domain: value  
114  
U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r  
will be your Windows computer name. In a corpo-  
rate environment, or when accessing corporate  
resources, the Domain: may not be your Windows  
computer name. Click [Next] to continue.  
3. Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the finger-  
print, the Verify Fingerprint screen will automati-  
cally appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint,  
swipe your fingertip over the sensor four times to  
verify. Successful fingerprint verification will show a  
green fingerprint in the capture window and the text  
Verification Successful under the capture window.  
(An unsuccessful swipe will be indicated in red.)  
3. In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint.  
Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 115 for  
additional information.  
4. Next, choose how OmniPass notifies you of various  
events. We recommend you keep Taskbar Tips on  
Beginner mode taskbar tips and Audio Tips on at  
least Prompt with system beeps only until you get  
accustomed to how OmniPass operates. Click [Next]  
to proceed with user enrollment. You will then see a  
Congratulations screen indicating your completion  
of user enrollment.  
USING OMNIPASS  
You are now ready to begin using OmniPass. Used regu-  
larly, OmniPass will streamline your authentications.  
Password Replacement  
You will often use the password replacement function.  
When you go to a restricted access website (e.g., your  
bank, your web-based email, online auction or payment  
sites), you are always prompted to enter your login  
credentials. OmniPass can detect these prompts and you  
can teach OmniPass your login credentials. The next  
time you go to that website, you can authenticate with  
your fingerprint to gain access.  
5. Click [Done] to exit the OmniPass Enrollment  
Wizard. You will be asked if you’d like to log in to  
OmniPass with your newly enrolled user; click [Yes].  
Enrolling a Fingerprint  
Enrolling a fingerprint will increase the security of your  
system and streamline the authentication procedure.  
OmniPass Authentication Toolbar  
You enroll fingerprints in the OmniPass Control Center.  
With an OmniPass user logged in, double-click the  
system tray OmniPass icon. Select the User Settings tab  
and click Enrollment under the User Settings area. Click  
Enroll Authentication Device and authenticate at the  
authentication prompt to start device enrollment.  
After installing OmniPass and restarting, you will notice  
a dialog you have not seen before at Windows Logon.  
This is the OmniPass Authentication Toolbar, and it is  
displayed whenever the OmniPass authentication system  
is invoked. The OmniPass authentication system may be  
invoked frequently: during Windows Logon, during  
OmniPass Logon, when unlocking your workstation,  
when resuming from standby or hibernate, when  
unlocking a password-enabled screensaver, during pass-  
word replacement for remembered site or application  
logins, and more. When you see this toolbar, OmniPass  
is prompting you to authenticate.  
1. During initial user enrollment, you will be  
prompted to select the finger you wish to enroll.  
Fingers that have already been enrolled will be  
marked by a green check. The finger you select to  
enroll at this time will be marked by a red arrow.  
OmniPass will allow you re-enroll a finger. If you  
choose a finger that has already been enrolled and  
continue enrollment, OmniPass will enroll the  
fingerprint, overwriting the old fingerprint. Select a  
finger to enroll and click [Next].  
The Logon Authentication window indicates what  
OmniPass-restricted function you are attempting. The  
icons in the lower left (fingerprint and key) show what  
authentication methods are available to you. Selected  
authentication methods are highlighted while unselected  
methods are not. When you click the icon for an unse-  
lected authentication method, the authentication  
prompt associated with that method is displayed.  
2. It is now time for OmniPass to capture your selected  
fingerprint. It may take a several capture attempts  
before OmniPass acquires your fingerprint. Should  
OmniPass fail to acquire your fingerprint, or if the  
capture screen times out, click [Back] to restart the  
fingerprint enrollment process.  
When prompted to authenticate, you must supply the  
appropriate credentials: an enrolled finger for the finger-  
print capture window or your master password for the  
master password prompt (the key icon).  
Your system has a “swipe” fingerprint sensor (See  
Figure B-1). A swipe sensor is small and resembles a  
skinny elongated rectangle. To capture a fingerprint,  
gently swipe or pull your fingertip over the sensor  
(starting at the second knuckle) towards yourself.  
Swiping too fast or too slow will result in a failed  
capture. The Choose Finger screen has a [Practice]  
button; click it to practice capturing your finger-  
print. When you are comfortable with how your  
fingerprint is captured, proceed to enroll a finger.  
Remembering a Password  
OmniPass can remember any application, GUI, or pass-  
word protected resource that has a password prompt.  
Using the following procedure, you can store a set of  
credentials into OmniPass. These credentials will then be  
linked to your “master password” or fingerprint.

Go to a site that requires a login (username and pass-  
word), but do not log in yet. At the site login prompt,  
enter your username and password in the prompted  
fields, but do not enter the site (do not hit [Enter],  
[Submit], [OK], or Login). Right-click the OmniPass  
system tray icon and select Remember Password from  
the submenu. The Windows arrow cursor will change to  
a golden key OmniPass cursor. Click this OmniPass  
cursor in the login prompt area, but do not click the  
[Login] or [Submit] button.  
Click Finish to complete the remember password proce-  
dure. The site location, the credentials to access the site,  
and the OmniPass authentication settings for the site are  
now stored in the OmniPass secure database. The  
OmniPass authentication settings (Settings for this Pass-  
word Site) can always be changed in Vault Management.  
Logging in to a Remembered Site  
Whether or not OmniPass prompts you to authenticate  
when you return to a remembered site is determined by  
Settings for this Password Site and can be changed in  
Vault Management.  
Associating a Friendly Name  
After clicking the OmniPass key cursor near the login  
prompt, OmniPass will prompt you to enter a “friendly  
name” for this site. You should enter something that  
reminds you of the website, the company, or the service  
you are logging into. In its secure database, OmniPass  
associates this friendly name with this website.  
The following cases are applicable to using OmniPass to  
login to: Windows, remembered websites, and all other  
password protected resources.  
With Master Password  
Once you return to a site you have remembered with  
OmniPass, you may be presented with a master pass-  
word prompt. Enter your master password and you will  
be allowed into the site.  
Additional Settings for Remembering a Site  
When OmniPass prompts you to enter a “friendly name”  
you also have the opportunity to set how OmniPass  
authenticates you to this site. There are three effective  
settings for how OmniPass handles a remembered site.  
Logging into Windows with a Fingerprint Device  
When logging into Windows with a fingerprint device,  
the fingerprint capture window will now appear next to  
the Windows Login screen. Place your enrolled fingertip  
on the sensor to authenticate. You will be simultaneously  
logged into Windows and OmniPass. The capture  
window will also appear if you have used Ctrl-Alt-Del to  
lock a system, and the fingerprint device can be used to  
log back in as stated above.  
The default setting is Automatically click the “OK” or  
“Submit” button for this password protected site once  
the user is authenticated. With this setting, each time  
you navigate to this site OmniPass will prompt you for  
your master password or fingerprint authentication  
device. Once you have authenticated with OmniPass,  
you will automatically be logged into the site.  
Less secure is the option to Automatically enter this  
password protected site when it is activated. Do not  
prompt for authentication. Check the upper box to get  
this setting, and each time you navigate to this site  
OmniPass will log you into the site without prompting  
you to authenticate.  
If a machine is locked and OmniPass  
detects a different user logging back in  
with a fingerprint, the first user will be  
logged out and the second user logged in.  
In Windows XP, your login options must be set either for  
classic login, or for fast user switching and logon screen  
to be enabled to use your fingerprint to log on to  
Windows. To change this go to Control Panel, select  
User Accounts and then click Change the way users log  
on or off. If your Windows screensaver is password  
protected, the fingerprint capture window will now  
appear next to screensaver password dialog during  
resume. You can authenticate to your screensaver pass-  
word prompt with your enrolled finger.  
This setting is more convenient in that  
whenever you go to a site remembered  
with this setting, you will bypass any  
authentication procedure and gain instant  
access to the site. But should you leave  
your system unattended with your  
OmniPass user logged in, anyone using  
your system can browse to your password  
protected sites and gain automatic access.  
Password Management  
If you uncheck both boxes in Settings for this Password  
Site, OmniPass will prompt you for your master pass-  
word or fingerprint authentication device. Once you  
have authenticated with OmniPass your credentials will  
be filled in to the site login prompt, but you will have to  
click the website [OK], [Submit], or [Login] button to  
gain access to the site.  
OmniPass provides an interface that lets you manage  
your passwords. To access this GUI, double-click the  
OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Manage-  
ment; you will be prompted to authenticate. Once you  
gain access to Vault Management, click Manage Pass-  
words under Vault Settings. You will see the Manage  
Passwords interface, with a list of friendly names.  
116  
U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r  
You can view the credentials stored for any remembered  
website by highlighting the desired resource under Pass-  
word Protected Dialog and clicking Unmask Values.  
Should a password be reset, or an account expire, you  
can remove stored credentials from OmniPass. Highlight  
the desired resource under Password Protected Dialog  
and click Delete Page. You will be prompted to confirm  
the password deletion.  
Choosing User Identity during Login  
To choose your identity during login, type your user-  
name in the User Name: field. Press [Tab] and see that  
the Domain: field self-populates. Click the Password:  
field to bring the cursor to it, and you will see the pull-  
down menu in the Identity: field. Select the identity you  
wish to login as and then click OK to login.  
Switch User Identity  
The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern  
whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or  
directly logs you into the remembered site.  
To switch identities at any time, right-click the  
OmniPass system tray icon and click Switch User Iden-  
tity from the submenu. The Switch Identity dialog will  
appear. Select the desired identity and then click OK.  
OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a  
website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an  
already remembered site.  
Identities and Password Management  
On the Manage Passwords interface of the Vault  
Management tab of the OmniPass Control Center, there  
is a pull-down selection box labeled, Identity. This field  
lets you choose which identity you are managing pass-  
words for. When you select an identity here, only those  
password protected dialogs that are associated with that  
identity are shown. You can perform all the functions  
explained in “Password Management” on page 116.  
The exception to the above rule is the resetting of your  
Windows password. If your password is reset in  
Windows, then the next time you login to Windows,  
OmniPass will detect the password change and prompt  
you to “Update” or “Reconfirm” your password with  
OmniPass. Enter your new Windows password in the  
prompt(s) and click OK and your OmniPass "master  
password" will still be your Windows password.  
CONFIGURING OMNIPASS  
This section gives an overview of both the Export/  
Import function and the OmniPass Control Center.  
OmniPass User Identities  
Identities allow OmniPass users to have multiple  
accounts to the same site (e.g., [email protected] and  
[email protected]). If OmniPass did not provide  
you identities, you would be limited to remembering  
one account per site.  
Exporting and Importing Users  
Using the OmniPass Control Center, you can export and  
import users in and out of OmniPass. The export  
process backs up all remembered sites, credentials, and  
any enrolled fingerprints for an OmniPass user. All  
OmniPass data for a user is backed up to a single  
encrypted database file. During the import process, the  
Windows login of the exported user is required. If the  
proper credentials cannot be supplied, the user profile  
will not be imported.  
To create and manage identities, double-click the  
OmniPass key in the system tray. Click Vault Manage-  
ment; OmniPass will prompt you to authenticate. Once  
you gain access to Vault Management, click Manage  
Identities under Vault Settings. You can only manage  
the identities of the currently logged in OmniPass user  
To add a new identity, click New Identity or double-click  
Click here to add a new identity. Name the new identity  
and click [OK], then click [Apply]. You can now switch  
to the new identity and start remembering passwords.  
You should periodically export your user  
profile and store it in a safe place. If  
anything happens to your system, you  
can import your OmniPass profile to a  
new system and have all your remem-  
bered settings and fingerprints instantly.  
To delete an identity, highlight the identity you want to  
delete and click [Delete Identity], then click [Apply].  
You don't forget the Windows login  
credentials when exporting. When you  
examine the importation, you are  
prompted for authentication. The  
credentials that will allow a user profile  
to be imported are the Windows login  
credentials of the exported user. They  
are the credentials that had to be  
submitted when the user profile was  
exported. You will need User Name,  
Password, and Domain.  
When you delete an identity, all of its  
associated remembered sites and password  
protected dialogs are lost.  
To set the default identity, highlight the identity you  
want as default and click [Set as Default]; click [Apply]  
to ensure the settings are saved. If you log in to  
OmniPass with a fingerprint device, you will automati-  
cally be logged in to the default identity for that  
OmniPass user. You can choose the identity with which  
you are logging in if you login using "master password".

Exporting an OmniPass User Profile  
To export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center,  
and click Import/Export User under Manage Users.  
If you export an OmniPass-only user, you can import  
that user to any computer running OmniPass, pro-  
vided that a user with that name is not already  
enrolled in OmniPass.  
Click Exports an OmniPass user profile. OmniPass will  
prompt you to authenticate. Upon successfully authenti-  
cation, you must name the OmniPass user profile and  
decide where to save it. An .opi file is generated, and you  
should store a copy of it in a safe place.  
If you attempt to import a user profile who has the  
same name as a user already enrolled in OmniPass, the  
OmniPass import function will fail.  
OMNIPASS CONTROL CENTER  
This section will serve to explain functions within the  
OmniPass Control Center that weren’t explained earlier.  
This .opi file contains all your user specific OmniPass  
data, and it is both encrypted and password protected.  
This user profile does NOT contain any of your  
encrypted data files.  
You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of  
three ways:  
Importing an OmniPass User Profile  
Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in  
the Windows taskbar (typically in the lower-right cor-  
ner of the desktop)  
You cannot import a user into OmniPass if  
there already is a user with the same name  
enrolled in OmniPass.  
Click the Start button; select the Programs group;  
select the Softex program group; and click the  
OmniPass Control Center selection.  
Open the Windows Control Panel (accessible via Start  
To import an OmniPass user open the OmniPass  
Control Center, and click Import/Export User under  
Manage Users. Click Imports a new user into OmniPass  
and then select OmniPass Import/Export File (*.opi)  
and click Next. OmniPass will then prompt you to  
browse for the file you had previously exported (.opi  
file). When you select the .opi file for importation,  
OmniPass will prompt you for authentication. The  
credentials that will allow a user profile to be imported  
are the Windows login credentials of the exported user.  
They are the credentials that had to be submitted when  
the user profile was exported. You will need User Name,  
Password, and Domain. If you don’t remember the value  
for Domain, in a PC or SOHO environment Domain  
should be your computer name.  
button --> Settings --> Control Panel) and double-  
click the Softex OmniPass icon.  
User Management  
The User Management tab has two major interfaces:  
Add/Remove User and Import/Export User. Import/  
Export User functionality is documented in “Exporting  
and Importing Users” on page 117. Add/Remove User  
functionality is straightforward.  
If you click Adds a new user to OmniPass you will start  
the OmniPass Enrollment Wizard. The Enrollment  
Wizard is documented in “User Enrollment” on  
page 114.  
If you click Removes a user from OmniPass, OmniPass  
will prompt you to authenticate. Authenticate with the  
credentials (or enrolled fingerprint) of the user you wish  
to remove. OmniPass will prompt you to confirm user  
removal. Click OK to complete user removal.  
OmniPass will notify you if the user was successfully  
imported.  
Things to Know Regarding Import/Export  
Assume you export a local Windows User profile from  
Removing a user will automatically destroy  
all OmniPass data associated with that  
user. All identities and credentials  
OmniPass. You want to import that profile to another  
machine that has OmniPass. Before you can import  
the profile, a Windows user with the same login cre-  
dentials must be created on the machine importing the  
profile.  
associated with the user will be lost.  
If you are sure about removing the user,  
we recommend you export the user  
profile.  
Example: I have a Windows user with the username  
Tom” and the password “Sunshine” on my system. I  
have enrolled Tom into OmniPass and remembered  
passwords. I want to take all my passwords to new sys-  
tem. I export Tom’s OmniPass user profile. I go to my  
new system and using the Control Panel I create a user  
with the username "Tom" and the password "Sun-  
shine". I can now successfully import the OmniPass  
user data to the new system.  
User Settings  
The User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings,  
Taskbar Tips, and Enrollment. User settings allow users  
to customize OmniPass to suit their individual prefer-  
ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Taskbar  
Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of  
118  
U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r  
OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied,  
etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio  
Settings and Taskbar Tips interfaces are self-explana-  
tory.  
Cannot add a User with a Blank Password to OmniPass  
If you experience difficulties adding a user with a  
blank password to OmniPass, you may need to adjust  
your local security settings. First attempt the proce-  
dure explained in the Cannot add Windows user to  
OmniPass section. If the difficulties persist, then try  
the following procedure.  
The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll finger-  
prints. For the procedure to enroll and authentication  
device refer to Chapter 2.3. To enroll additional finger-  
prints, click Enroll Authentication Device, and authen-  
ticate with OmniPass. Select the fingerprint recognition  
device in the Select Authentication Device screen (it  
should already be marked by a green check if you have a  
finger enrolled) and click Next.  
Click Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools,  
and Local Security Settings. Expand Local Policies,  
expand Security Options, and double-click  
Accounts: Limit local account use of blank pass-  
words to console login only. This setting should be  
set to Disabled.  
System Settings  
The OmniPass Startup Options interface can be found  
in the System Settings tab. With these options you can  
specify how your OmniPass Logon is tied to your  
Windows Logon.  
Dialog appears after OmniPass authentication during  
Windows Logon  
After installing OmniPass on your system, you can  
choose to logon to Windows using OmniPass. You  
authenticate with OmniPass (via master password, or  
an enrolled security device) and OmniPass logs you  
into Windows. You may, during this OmniPass  
authentication, see a Login Error dialog box.  
The first option, Automatically log on to OmniPass as  
the current user, will do just as it says; during Windows  
login, you will be logged on to OmniPass using your  
Windows login credentials. If the user logging into  
Windows was never enrolled into OmniPass, upon login  
no one will be logged on to OmniPass. This setting is  
appropriate for an office setting or any setting where  
users must enter a username and password to log into a  
computer. This is the default setting.  
This dialog box occurs when OmniPass was unable to  
log you into Windows with the credentials supplied  
(username and password). This could happen for any  
of the following reasons:  
Your Windows password has changed  
Your Windows account has been disabled  
With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass  
at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you  
have logged on to Windows.  
If you are having difficulties due to the first reason,  
you will need to update OmniPass with your changed  
Windows account password. Click Update Password  
and you will be prompted with a dialog to reconfirm  
your password.  
With the third option, Do not log on to OmniPass at  
startup, OmniPass will not prompt for a user to be  
logged on.  
You can manually log on to OmniPass by right-clicking  
the OmniPass taskbar icon and clicking Log in User  
from the right-click menu.  
Enter the new password to your Windows user  
account and click OK. If the error persists, then it is  
unlikely the problem is due to your Windows user  
account password changing.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
You cannot use OmniPass to create Windows users. You  
must first create the Windows user, and you will need  
administrative privileges to do that. Once the Windows  
user is created, you can add that user to OmniPass using  
the same username and password  
Cannot add Windows users to OmniPass  
If you experience difficulties adding a Windows user  
to OmniPass, you may need to adjust your local secu-  
rity settings. You can do this by going to Start,  
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Local  
Security Settings. Expand Local Policies, expand  
Security Options, and double-click Network Access:  
Sharing and Security Model for Local Accounts. The  
correct setting should be Classic - Local Users Authen-  
ticate as Themselves.
