OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL 1. Press the Display Panel latch to release the locking mechanism, allowing you to raise the display. 2. Lift the display backwards, being careful not to touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable viewing angle. (Figure 3-2) ■ When using AC power your brightness setting is set to its highest level by default. When using battery power your brightness setting is set to approximately mid-level by default. ■ The higher the brightness level, the more power the notebook will consume and the faster your batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, make sure that the brightness is set as low as possible. ADJUSTING DISPLAY PANEL BRIGHTNESS Once you have turned on your LifeBook notebook, you may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a more comfortable viewing level. To adjust the brightness, use the keyboard function keys, as noted below. Using the Keyboard Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the setting only temporarily. ■ [Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display. ■ [Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the brightness of the display. CLOSING THE DISPLAY PANEL 1. Holding the edge of your display panel, pull it forward until it is flush with the body of your LifeBook notebook. 2. Push down until you hear a click. This will engage the locking mechanism and prevent your display panel from opening unexpectedly. 24
