Getting Started TERTIARY FUNCTIONS OF APPLICATION AND NAVIGATION BUTTONS While you are booting up your system, the Application Buttons and Navigation buttons can be used for entering and navigating through the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS), and for invoking the Advanced Options Menu, where you can enter different modes (such as Safe Mode). The BIOS is a program and a set of parameters that are stored in ROM, which tests and operates your Tablet PC from when you turn it on until it loads your installed operating system from disk. Information from the BIOS is transferred to the operating system to provide it with information on the configuration and status of the hardware. The system is booting up while the Fujitsu logo is displayed immediately after turning on the system. The table below indicates how the buttons act while the system is booting up and while you are in the BIOS. Buttons/icons Purpose (when pressed while the system is booting up) Ctl-Alt-Del Button Pressing the Ctl-Alt-Del button while the system is booting up takes you into BIOS setup. This is the same as if you had tapped [F2] on a keyboard. Pressing the EMail button while the system is booting up opens the Boot Options menu. This is the same as if you had tapped [F12] on a keyboard. EMail Button Orientation Button Pressing the Orientation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the selected item (if applicable) to change to the next item. Pressing this is the same as tapping the spacebar on a keyboard. Escape Button Pressing the Esc button while the BIOS is open acts to escape from the BIOS. This is the same as if you had tapped [Esc] on a keyboard. Pressing the Ent button while the BIOS is open acts the same as the [Ent] button on a keyboard. Enter Button Function Button Pressing the Fn button while the system is displaying the operating system boot menu, opens the Advanced Operating System Options menu. This menu allows you to enter different operating system modes (such as Safe Mode). Pressing this button is the same as if you had tapped [F8] on a keyboard. Pressing the top half of the upper navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move up. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Up on a keyboard. This feature is also functional in the operating system boot menu. Pressing the bottom half of the upper navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move down. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Down on a keyboard. This feature is also functional in the operating system boot menu. Pressing the top half of the lower navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move right. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Right on a keyboard. Pressing the bottom half of the lower navigation button while the BIOS setup screen is open causes the cursor in the BIOS setup screen to move left. This is the same as if you had tapped Arrow Left on a keyboard. Table 1-5. Tertiary Functions of Application and Navigation Buttons 13
