SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Authorized Repair Technicians Only
RECYCLING YOUR BATTERY
Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer
will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time;
this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this
occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh
one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of
the old battery properly because batteries contain mate-
rials that could cause environmental damage if disposed
of improperly.
Fujitsu is very concerned with envi-
ronmental protection, and has
enlisted the services of the Recharge-
able Battery Recycling Corporation
(RBRC)**, a non-profit public
service organization dedicated to
protecting our environment by recy-
cling old batteries at no cost to you.
RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of loca-
tions throughout the United States and Canada. To find
the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org or call 1-
800-822-8837.
If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you
can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative
website (http://EIAE.org/) and search for a convenient
disposal location.
Remember – protecting the environment is a coopera-
tive effort, and you should make every effort to protect it
for current and future generations.
* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile
computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at
www.shopfujitsu.com in the US or www.fujitsu.ca/
products/notebooks in Canada.
** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu
provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in
no way affiliated with Fujitsu.
■CAUTION - HOT SURFACE: The bottom
of this notebook computer can become
hot when used for long periods of time.
When using this notebook, take caution
to limit long term or continuous use while
resting it on exposed skin, such as the lap.
■Danger of explosion if Lithium (clock)
battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dis-
pose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instruction.
For continued protection against risk of
fire, replace only with the same type and
rating fuse.

Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your
LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement
of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The
Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, a left and
right button, and a scrolling 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 mouse buttons. The actual functionality of
the buttons may vary depending on the application that
is being used. The scrolling button allows you to navi-
gate quickly through pages, without having to use the
scroll bars. (Figure 2-14)
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-
click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select,
press the left button once, and then immediately release
it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you
wish to select, press the right button once, and then
immediately release it. You also have the option to
perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the
Touchpad once. (Figure 2-11)

Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.
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]
functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding
[Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Press-
ing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase
the volume of your notebook.
■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.
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 external volume control settings.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test
(POST), your notebook will load your operating system.
BOOT SEQUENCE
The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed
the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s
BIOS. When your LifeBook notebook is first turned on,
the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find
instructions to start up your notebook. This information
is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or
restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence
which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system
is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing
a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test
(POST). When the boot sequence is completed without
a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup
Utility, the system displays the operating system’s
opening screen.
The boot sequence is executed when:
■You turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook.
■You restart your notebook from the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
■The software initiates a system restart. Example:
When you install a new application.
HARD DISK DRIVE PASSWORDS
To provide additional data security, you can assign pass-
words to your hard disk drive. This feature is managed in
the system BIOS Setup Utility. See BIOS Setup Utility
below for information about accessing the utility..
BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your LifeBook notebook.
Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating
conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change
the BIOS’ environment to operate your notebook.
The BIOS Setup Utility configures:
■Device control feature parameters, such as changing
I/O addresses and boot devices.
■System Data Security feature parameters, such as
passwords.
When you turn on your LifeBook note-
book be sure you have a battery installed

LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section Three
Power Management
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook 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 notebook
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 battery from running down as quickly.
For example, you can create an appropriate power saving
profile, put your notebook into Suspend 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.
SUSPEND/RESUME/POWER ON BUTTON
When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Suspend/
Resume/Power On button can be used to manually put
your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the button
when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing
anything, and immediately release the button. You will
hear two short beeps and your system will enter
Suspend mode. (See figure 2-3 on page 6 for location)
If your LifeBook notebook is suspended, pushing the
Suspend/Resume/Power On button will return your
notebook to active operation. You can tell whether or
not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the
Power indicator. (See figure 2-3 on page 6) If the indi-
cator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully
operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing,
your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is
not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in
Hibernation mode.
ECO BUTTON
The ECO button is located to the left of the power
button above the keyboard. The button is designed to
extend system power by reducing the LCD brightness,
shutting down the optical drive, PC Card, and IEEE
1394 functionality, and enabling the hard disk drive’s
auto power off mode.
Press the ECO button, then click the [OK] button to
enter the power saving mode. Pressing the button again
then clicking the [OK] button restores those functions
SUSPEND MODE
Suspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the
contents of your LifeBook notebook’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 notebook can be
put in Suspend mode by:
■Pressing the Suspend/Resume/Power On button when
your system is turned on.
■Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.
■Timing out from lack of activity.
■Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery
Warning condition.
You can change the actions the computer takes when the
lid is closed or buttons are pressed by clicking [Start] ->
Control Panel. Double-click the Power Options icon and
select the Advanced tab.
Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically
stores the file(s) on which you are working, open applica-
tion(s) information, and any other data required to
support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume
operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will
return to the point where it left off. You must use the
Suspend/Resume/Power On button to resume operation,
and there must be an adequate power source available, or
your notebook will not resume.
The ECO button can also be programmed
to be used as an application launch but-
ton. For more information, see “Configur-
ing the Application Panel” on page 21.
■If you are running your notebook on
battery power, be aware that the
battery continues to discharge while the
system is in Suspend mode, though not
as fast as when fully operational.
■Disabling the Suspend/Resume/Power
On button prevents it from being used
to put your LifeBook notebook in
Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk)
mode. The resume function of the
button cannot be disabled.
■If your LifeBook notebook is actively
accessing information when you enter
the Suspend or Hibernation mode,
changes to open files are not lost. The
files are left open and memory is kept
active during Suspend mode or the
memory is transferred to the internal
hard drive during Hibernation mode.
33
Getting Started
HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATURE
The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your
notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of
the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable
this feature.

POWER OFF
Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/
optical drive access indicator is off. (See figure 2-3 on
page 6) If you turn off the power while accessing a disk
there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook
shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down
procedure.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows
allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The
proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Shut Down option from within the
Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to shut down your notebook.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.
The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-
Disk) mode should not be used with cer-
tain PC Cards. Check your PC Card docu-
mentation for more information.
When PC Cards or external devices are in
use, Hibernation mode cannot return to
the exact state prior to suspension,
because all of the peripheral devices will be
re-initialized when the system restarts.
Turning off your LifeBook notebook with-
out exiting Windows or turning on your
notebook within 10 seconds of the note-
book being shut off may cause an error
when you start the next time.
Be sure to close all files, exit all applica-
tions, and shut down your operating sys-
tem prior to turning off the power. If files
are open when you turn the power off,
you will lose any changes that have not
been saved, and may cause disk errors.

User Installable Features
Lithium ion Battery
Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery (and
possibly an optional modular battery) that provides
power for operating your notebook when no external
power source is available. The battery is durable and
long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme
temperatures, high voltages, chemicals, or other hazards.
The Lithium ion battery operating time may become
shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
■When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C
(41°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme temperatures
not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause
battery deterioration. The charging indicator on the
Status Indicator panel will flash red for the affected
battery (battery 1 or 2) when you try to charge a
battery that is outside of operating temperature range.
(See Battery Charging Indicators on page 13 for more
information)
■When using a high current device such as a modem,
DVD/CD-RW drive, or the hard drive, using the AC
adapter will conserve your battery life.
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
If you want to know the condition of the primary
Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level 1 indicator
located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator
changes as the battery level changes. If you want to know
the condition of the secondary modular Lithium ion
battery, check the Battery Level 2 indicator located on
the Status Indicator panel.
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 LifeBook notebook and connect the
AC or Auto/Airline adapter.
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
significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the
battery is charging.
If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your
notebook into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the
adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management
on page 32 for more information)
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notifica-
tion message will appear. If you do not respond to the
low battery message, the batteries will continue to
discharge until they are too low to operate. When this
happens, your notebook will go into Suspend mode.
There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once
the notebook reaches this point.
Do not leave a faulty battery in your
LifeBook notebook. It may damage your
AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter,
another battery or your notebook itself. It
may also prevent operation of your
notebook by draining all available current
into the bad battery.
■Battery life will vary based on screen
brightness, applications, features, power
management settings, battery condition
and other customer preferences. DVD,
CD-RW, CD-ROM, or hard drive usage
may also have a significant impact on
battery life. The battery charging capac-
ity is reduced as the battery ages. If your
battery is running low quickly, you
should replace it with a new one.
■Under federal, state, or local law it may
be illegal to dispose of batteries by put-
ting them in the trash. Take care of our
environment by disposing of batteries
properly. Check with your local govern-
ment authority for information on recy-
cling or disposing of old batteries. If you
cannot find this information elsewhere,
contact your support representative at
1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487)
Make sure the Battery Charging indicator
and the percentage charge is shown inside
the Battery Level icon on the Status Indica-
tor Panel. (See Battery Charging Indica-
tors on page 13 for more information)
Using heavy current devices such as Modem
or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM
accesses may prevent charging completely.
38
LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section Four
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your
notebook 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 Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be main-
tained for some time, but if a power source is not
provided promptly, the charging 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 notebook while an adapter is
charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel battery charging icons will
blink red to indicate a shorted battery or battery
problem. This indicates that the battery is damaged and
must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts
of your LifeBook notebook.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have
a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged.
Swapping Batteries when Additional Power Source
is not Available
To swap batteries in your battery bay when you don’t
have another power source available (such as an AC
Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy
steps: (Figure 4-1)
1. Have a charged battery ready to install.
2. Shut down your notebook.
3. Press and hold the battery release latches to open the
bay. (Figure 4-1)
Figure 4-1 Removing the Battery
4. Remove the battery from the bay.
5. Slide the new battery into the bay. (Figure 4-2)
6. Verify that the battery bay latches click into place.
Figure 4-2 Installing a battery
Swapping Batteries when another Power Source is
available
To swap batteries in your battery bay when you have an
additional power source (such as an AC Adapter or
charged modular battery), follow these easy steps:
1. Plug in an AC Adapter or install a fully charged
modular battery in the Flexible Bay to ensure power
is supplied to the system.
2. Slide and hold the battery release latches to open the
bay.
3. Remove the battery from the bay.
4. Slide the new battery into the bay.
5. Verify that the battery bay latches click into place.
■Once the low battery notification mes-
sage appears, you need to save all your
active data and put your system into
Suspend mode until you can provide a
new power source. You should provide a
charged battery, AC power adapter, or
Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.
■ When you are in Suspend mode there
must always be at least one power
source active. If you turn off the power
or remove all power sources while your
LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode,
any data that has not been saved to the
hard drive will be lost.
Using heavy current devices such as a
modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-
ROM accesses may prevent charging com-
pletely.
If the Lithium ion battery connector is not
fully seated, you may not be able to use
your notebook or charge your battery.

USING THE OPTICAL DRIVE
ON BATTERY POWER
Since an optical drive consumes a lot of power, your
overall battery life will be shorter when operating the
drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than
during standard operation. Many movies run-times are
longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a
single battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on
battery power you may need to swap in an additional,
charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to
view it in its entirety.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC
adapter ready for use.
2. Start watching your DVD movie.
If you have disabled the Auto Insert Notifi-
cation Function, you will have to start the
drive from your desktop, since your note-
book will not automatically recognize that
media has been loaded.
a. b.
c. d.
■Prolonged use of the optical drive,
such as when watching a DVD movie,
will substantially reduce your note-
book’s battery life.
■An additional fully-charged battery is
highly recommended if you will be
watching DVD movies on battery
power. If you don’t have an additional
battery, you may purchase one either
on-line at us.fujitsu.com/computers

Memory Stick/
Secure Digital/xD Slot
Your LifeBook notebook supports the following
memory cards, on which you can store and transfer data
to and from a variety of digital devices. These cards use
flash memory architecture, which means they don’t need
a power source to retain data.
■SD Memory Card
■Memory Stick Media
■Memory Stick Select Media
■Memory Stick Duo Media
■Memory Stick PRO Media
■xD Picture Cards
Memory Stick is a flash memory technology developed
by Sony Electronics. Memory Stick allows you to record,
transfer and share digital content, such as digital
pictures, movies, music, voice, and computer data and
applications.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory
Sticks, but they are shorter. Like the Memory Stick, SD
Cards allow portable storage among a variety of devices,
such as cell phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, and
PDAs. SD Cards transfer data quickly, with low battery
consumption. Like the memory stick, it uses flash
memory architecture.

Memory Upgrade Module
Your LifeBook notebook can be upgraded to include up
to 2 GB of in-slot high speed Double Data Rate (DDR2)
Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM). To increase
your LifeBook notebook’s memory capacity, you may
install a larger memory upgrade module.
Your LifeBook notebook has two micro DIMM slots. One
of them is accessible via the memory compartment on the
bottom of the system; the other is located under the
keyboard and should not be accessed. If you have less than
2 GB pre-installed, and you would like to increase it, you
will need add a new module to the empty slot. The
memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (micro DIMM)
SDRAM module. To ensure 100% compatibility,
purchase the memory module only from the Fujitsu web
store at us.fujitsu.com/computers.
ACCESSING THE MEMORY COMPARTMENT
To gain access to the memory compartment, follow these
steps:
1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook, and
remove any power adapter (AC or auto/airline),
battery pack, and modem connection.
2. Place your LifeBook notebook with the bottom
facing up on a clean work surface.
3. Remove the two screws from the holes in the
memory compartment cover. (Figure 4-9)
Figure 4-9. Removing memory compartment cover
REMOVING A MEMORY MODULE
1. Perform steps 1 through 3 of Accessing the Memory
Compartment.
2. Pull the module clips sideways away from each side
of the memory module simultaneously. (Figure 4-
10)
Figure 4-10. Removing a memory module
3. While holding the clips out, remove the module
from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the
back of your LifeBook notebook.
4. Store the memory upgrade module in a static
guarded sleeve.
5. Install a new memory module as detailed in the
procedure below.
6. Replace the memory compartment cover. (Figure 4-
12)
■Do not remove any screws from the
memory upgrade module compartment
except the ones specifically shown in the
directions for installing and removing the
memory upgrade module.
■The memory upgrade module can be
severely damaged by electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD). To minimize the risk,
observe the following precautions:
■Before handling a memory module,
touch a grounded metal object to dis-
charge static electricity built up in
your body.
■When installing or removing a mem-
ory module, hold it by the edge so as
not to touch any contacts or chips. Be
careful not to touch any internal com-
puter 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.
You must turn off power and remove any
modem connection before installing the
memory upgrade module.
The memory module which came with
your system is installed under the
keyboard, and should not be replaced. To
increase the amount of memory, either
install a new module in the DIMM slot, or
remove a smaller module from the DIMM
slot and replace with a larger one.

to check that your notebook has recognized the change.
Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] ->
Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the
System icon. Select the General tab and check the
amount of memory under “Computer:”.
There may be a variation between the actual memory
size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that
your system uses a video graphics chip which dynami-
cally allocates system memory to accelerate graphics
performance. Up to 224 MB of memory is dynamically
shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video
Memory Technology (DVMT).
The memory upgrade module is not
something you routinely remove from
your LifeBook notebook. Once it is
installed, you should leave it in place
unless you want to increase system
memory capacity.
Module Clips 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 Trouble-
shooting on page 71.

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.
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:
Characteristics of the WLAN Device
The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the
main board of the mobile computer.
It operates in two license-free RF bands, therefore
eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to
operate. It operates in the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scien-
tific, and Medical (ISM) RF band and in the lower and
middle bands of the 5GHz Unlicensed National Infor-
mation Infrastructure (UNII) bands.
The WLANs are capable of three operating modes,
IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g, wireless
LAN standards governed by the IEEE (Institute of
Electronics and Electrical Engineers).
Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code
Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in
IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Divi-
sion Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in
IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode.
The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at
the maximum data transfer rate of 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, and AES encryption.
WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE
Ad Hoc Mode
(See Figure 5-1)
"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 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 authenti-
cation, and encryption key settings are identically
configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.
Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode
(See Figure 5-2)
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network archi-
tecture in which devices communicate with wireless or
wired network devices through an Access Point. In infra-
structure mode, wireless devices can communicate with
each other or with a wired network. Corporate wireless
networks operate in infrastructure mode because they
require access to the wired LAN in order to access
Figure 5-1. Ad Hoc Mode Network
Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
55
Wireless LAN User’s Guide
computers, devices, and services such as file servers,
printers, and databases.
How to Handle This 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.
WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS
■The WLAN devices support IEEE802.11a+b/g.
■The devices operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band the 5
GHz lower and middle UNII bands.
■Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of
WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same
2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices
operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur
with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz
RF band.
■Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz fre-
quency range may interfere with the operation of
WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Interference
symptoms include reduced throughput, intermittent
disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is
HIGHLY recommended that interfering devices be
powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN.
DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE
Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in
certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where
certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics,
airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two
methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device:
■Using the Wireless On/Off Switch, or,
■In Windows Vista, using the WLAN icon in the
taskbar.
■In Windows XP, using the Intel PROSet Software or
Atheros Client Utility software.
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)
The wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wire-
less LAN models.
Windows Vista: Deactivation using the icon in the
taskbar
1. Right-click the WLAN icon in the taskbar at the
bottom right of your screen.

Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution
Unavailable
network
connection
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.
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

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.
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 56 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.
Incorrectly
configured network
settings
Recheck the configuration of your network settings.
Incorrect IP address
configuration
This only applies to networks using static IP addresses. Please contact
your network administrator for the correct settings.

Wireless LAN Glossary
Ad Hoc Mode
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 54.
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)
A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate
IP addresses to computers on a local area network.
DNS (Domain Name System)
A data query service that provides a mechanism with
which to translate host names into Internet addresses.
IEEE802.11a
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.
IEEE802.11b
Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data
rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz
ISM band.
Access point
Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and
wired network traffic.
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.
LAN (Local Area Network)
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.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
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.
Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)
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.
Open system authentication
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.
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
A method of allowing the authentication protocol
adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used
over an Ethernet.
Protocol
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.
65
Wireless LAN User’s Guide
Shared key authentication
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.
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
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]
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.
<Example>
Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0)
Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0)
Computer C: 192.168.100.4 (255.255.255.0)
:
:
Computer X: 192.168.100.254 (255.255.255.0)
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.
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.

Troubleshooting
Restoring Your
Pre-installed Software
The Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) disc
contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in
specific directories) that are unique to your notebook
configuration for use as documented below.
Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications
The DAR disc can be used to selectively re-install drivers
and/or applications that may have been un-installed or
corrupted.
To re-install drivers and/or applications:
1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR disc after
Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is
displayed after the disc is inserted.
2. After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree].
3. A window will appear containing a list of applica-
tions, drivers, and utilities that you can install from
the DAR disc.
4. In the list, check off all the components you want to
install. If you want to install all components, click
[Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the
blue-coded components; you must select grey and
green components separately.
5. Once you have selected the components you wish to
install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the
components will be installed.
6. After the components are installed, click [OK], then
click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the
system.
RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE
The Restore Disc that came with your system contains
two utilities:
■The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original
contents of the C: drive.
■The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used
to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from
being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete
utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want
to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.
BOOT Priority Change
Before restoring an image, you must first verify that your
system is set up to boot from the DVD drive. To verify/
change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up
from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive),
perform the following steps:
1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the
Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup
Utility.
2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.
3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu.
Press [Enter].
4. If “Optical Media Drive” or “CD-ROM Drive” is not
at the top of the list, arrow down to the drive in the
list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move it
to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot
from the devices in the order in which they are
listed.). Note that the BIOS for some systems will
indicate “CD-ROM Drive”, even when a DVD drive
is connected.
If you have access to the internet, visit the
Fujitsu Support website at http://
www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support to
check for the most current information,
drivers and hints on how to perform
recovery and system updates. (See
Automatically Downloading Driver
Updates on page 83 for more information)
In order to install applications and/or
drivers from the DAR disc, you will need to
use an optical drive either in your system or
attached externally.
There may be certain free third-party
applications pre-installed on your system
that are not on the DAR CD. The latest
versions of the applications can be
downloaded from the third-party’s website.
The components listed are color-coded in
terms of their install status. Blue indicates
that the component can be installed. Green
indicates that the component needs to be
installed separately. Grey indicates a
component that is already installed; grey
items can be reinstalled, but prior to
installation you will receive a reminder that
the component is already installed.
• The use of this disc requires that you
have a device capable of reading DVDs
attached to your system. If you do not
have a built-in DVD player, you will need
to attach an external player. For more
information on available external devices,

Using the Fingerprint Sensor
Fingerprint Sensor Device
INTRODUCING THE FINGERPRINT
SENSOR DEVICE
Your system has an optional fingerprint sensor device
below the Touchpad, between the left and right buttons.
This also serves as a scroll button. (Figure 1)
Figure A-1 Fingerprint sensor
With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter
a username and password every time you want to:
■Log onto Windows
■Recover from suspend mode
■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.
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.
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.
OmniPass presents a convenient graphical user interface,
through which you can securely manage passwords,
users, and multiple identities for each user.
GETTING STARTED
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.
INSTALLING OMNIPASS
If OmniPass has already been installed on your system,
skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on
page 108. You can determine whether OmniPass has
already been installed by checking to see if the following
are present:
■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
If OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to
“User Enrollment” on page 108. Otherwise continue
with this section on software installation.
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.
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:\).
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.
Although the system may have a
fingerprint sensor in place of a scroll
button, the fingerprint sensor can be used
for scrolling. Simply move your fingerprint
over the sensor the same as you would use
a scroll button.
For installation, OmniPass requires that the
user installing OmniPass have
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.

LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Appendix
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.
Verifying Information about OmniPass
After you have completed installing OmniPass and
restarted your system, you may wish to check the version
of OmniPass on your system.
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,
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,
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
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.
3. Select OmniPass, and then click Change/Remove.
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.
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
to gain access. This can result in dozens of sets of creden-
tials that you have to remember.
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.
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.
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
enrolled that OmniPass user, he will not gain access.
Basic Enrollment
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.
For uninstallation, OmniPass requires that
the user uninstalling OmniPass have
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 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.
109
Using the Fingerprint Sensor
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.
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
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. In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint.
Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 109 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.
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.
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.
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].
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.
Your system has a “swipe” fingerprint sensor. A
swipe sensor is small and resembles a skinny elon-
gated 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 fingerprint. When
you are comfortable with how your fingerprint is
captured, proceed to enroll a finger.
3. Once OmniPass has successfully acquired the finger-
print, the Verify Fingerprint screen will automati-
cally appear. To verify your enrolled fingerprint,
place your fingertip on the sensor and hold it there
as if you were having a fingerprint captured.
Successful fingerprint verification will show a green
fingerprint in the capture window and the text Ver i -
fication Successful under the capture window.
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.
OmniPass Authentication Toolbar
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.
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.
110
LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Appendix
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).
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
111
Using the Fingerprint Sensor
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.
Password Management
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.
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.
The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern
whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or
directly logs you into the remembered site.
OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a
website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an
already remembered site.
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.
OmniPass User Identities
Identities allow OmniPass users to have multiple
accounts to the same site (e.g., bob@biblomail.com and
boballen@biblomail.com). If OmniPass did not provide
you identities, you would be limited to remembering
one account per site.
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.
To delete an identity, highlight the identity you want to
delete and click [Delete Identity], then click [Apply].
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".
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
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.
Identities and Password Management
On the Manage Passwords interface of the Va u l t
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 111.
When you delete an identity, all of its
associated remembered sites and password
protected dialogs are lost.

CONFIGURING OMNIPASS
This section gives an overview of both the Export/
Import function and the OmniPass Control Center.
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.
Exporting an OmniPass User Profile
To export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center,
and click Import/Export User under Manage Users.
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.
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.
Importing an OmniPass User Profile
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.
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
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.
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.
■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.
■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.
You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of
three ways:
■Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in
the Windows taskbar (typically in the lower-right cor-
ner of the desktop)
■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
button --> Settings --> Control Panel) and double-
click the Softex OmniPass icon.
■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.
■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.
You cannot import a user into OmniPass if
there already is a user with the same name
enrolled in OmniPass.
113
Using the Fingerprint Sensor
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 112. 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 108.
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.
User Settings
The User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings,
Tas kba r Ti ps , and Enrollment. User settings allow users
to customize OmniPass to suit their individual prefer-
ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Ta s k b ar
Tips) you can set how OmniPass notifies the user of
OmniPass events (e.g., successful login, access denied,
etc.). The details of each setting under the Audio
Settings and Tas kb ar Ti ps interfaces are self-explana-
tory.
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.
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.
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.
With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass
at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you
have logged on to Windows.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Removing a user will automatically destroy
all OmniPass data associated with that
user. All identities and credentials
associated with the user will be lost.
If you are sure about removing the user,
we recommend you export the user
profile.
114
LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Appendix
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
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.
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.
