Figure 3-2 Opening the Display Panel

Display Panel

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a display panel 
that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environments 
and maintains top resolution through the use of active-
matrix technology. 

OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL

1. Lift the latch located at the top of the display panel. 

This releases the locking mechanism and raises
the display slightly.

2. Lift the display panel backwards, being careful not to 

touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable
viewing angle. 

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. There are two ways to 
adjust the brightness keyboard and power management 
utility 

Keyboard

■

[Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the
brightness of your display.

■

[Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the
brightness of the display.

BatteryAid 

Adjusting the brightness using the Power Management 
Utility changes the setting permanently. 

1. Double-click the Battery Icon in the lower right 

corner of your display (it looks like a small battery 
with a leaf extending from the top). This will open 
the BatteryAid Properties dialog box.

2. Click on the Fujitsu BatteryAid 2/2 tab and adjust 

your LCD Backlighting to the desired level.

3. Click 

OK

 or 

Apply

 to permanently change

the settings.

You may need to readjust the brightness level periodi-
cally depending on your operating environment. 

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.

Display Panel Latch

P O I N T

If using AC power, your LifeBook notebook’s brightness 
setting is set to its highest level by default. If using 
battery power, the brightness setting is set to its middle 
level by default.

P O I N T

The higher the brightness level, the more power the 
LifeBook notebook will consume and the faster your 
batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, set 
the brightness level as low as possible.
