BIOS Guide

A guide to your LifeBook notebook’s BIOS is available
online. Please visit our service and support web site at
http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support. Once
there, select Notebooks under User’s Guides in the side
bar. Select LifeBook BIOS Guides from the pull-down
menu for your LifeBook model.

BOOTING THE SYSTEM THE FIRST TIME

We strongly recommend that you not attach any external
devices or put a DVD/CD in your drive until you have
gone through the initial power-on sequence.

When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first
time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you
do nothing the system will load the operating system,
and then the Windows Welcome will begin.

Designed to accommodate the needs of many users, in
many countries, Windows needs to be configured the
first time you use it. Windows has two parts:

■

Getting Started: You have the opportunity to review
the Windows License Agreement, enter custom infor-
mation for your system, and set up your modem so
that your notebook will be prepared to dial out.

■

Registration: Easy online registration for Windows
with Microsoft.

GETTING STARTED

Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill in
the information as directed. You will be asked to read the
Windows End User License Agreement. When you finish,
you must accept or reject the terms of the agreement.

You will then be asked for such items as the language you
wish to use, the country in which you live, your first and
last name, and about how you dial out from where you
will be using your notebook. For the modem settings,
enter your current location information where you will

be using your notebook. If you are not connected to a
phone line and plan to register at a later time, you may
click the

Skip

button.

Once you have set up your LifeBook notebook to dial
out, Windows will make a free telephone call to test the
settings. If the call is unsuccessful, you will be returned
to the phone settings page where you may try to fix
them. If you are unable to fix the settings please contact
Fujitsu Service and Support.

(See Fujitsu Contact Infor-

mation on page 3 for more information)

If you would

simply like to move on, and register at a later time, you
may click the

Skip

button.

Windows Registration

If your connection is successful, you will receive an
acknowledgement from Microsoft that your registration
was successful.

WINDOWS PRODUCT ACTIVATION

If your system has Windows XP as an operating system,
it has

already

been pre-installed and pre-activated when

you receive the system.

In the event you need to re-install Windows XP (e.g.,
after making significant configuration changes), it may
be necessary to reactivate the operating system. To do so,
use the following information.

■

After re-installing Windows XP, you have thirty days to
activate it. Product activation ensures that you are the
authorized owner of the operating system.

■

Until you activate the product, when you turn on your
system you will be prompted that activation is
required. Follow the on-screen directions to activate
your operating system. The product only needs to be
activated once, unless significant hardware changes are
made to your system.

■

Note that Product Activation and Registration are not
the same thing. Registration is optional, whereas Prod-
uct Activation is a required procedure.

REGISTERING YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK

How do I register my LifeBook notebook?

To register your LifeBook notebook, visit our Web site
at: http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com/support.

INSTALLING CLICK ME!

The first time you boot up your system, you will see an
icon called Click Me! in the Start folder. When you click
the icon, your system will automatically build the icon
tray in the bottom right of the screen. These icons
provide links to utilities that you will frequently access.

If your data security settings require it, you
may be asked for a password before the
BIOS main menu will appear.

You may click Cancel at any time within
this process to shut down Windows. You
may restart this process at any time in the
future, but you must complete it in order
to use your computer.

If you reject the terms of the License
Agreement you will be returned to the
beginning of the Windows Welcome Pro-
cess, even if you shut your notebook
down and start it up again.

Before installing ClickMe!, be sure the
wireless LAN switch is set to the On
position.
