the following:

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.

Do not use this product near water for example,

near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry

tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

Avoid using the modem during an electrical storm.

For TV tuner use: To protect from overvoltages and

transients on the Cable Distribution System, make

sure that the outer shield of the coaxial cable is con-

nected to earth (grounded) at the building premise as

close to the point of cable entrance as practicable, as

required per NEC Article 820.93, ANSI/NFPA 70:

2005. If you have questions about your CATV installa-

tion, contact your service provider.

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.

NUMERIC KEYPAD

Keyboard

The right-hand section of the keyboard serves as a

numeric keypad. To activate the keypad functions, press

the [NumLk] button. Using the keypad keys, you can

enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ),

subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ),

and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated

as ten-key function keys. When [NumLk] is not active,

you can use the numeric keypad to navigate (Home,

End, Page Up, Page Down, left, right, up, down). The

keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front

edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.

USING THE KEYBOARD

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has an integrated 103-

key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard func-

tions of a keyboard, including the Windows keys and

other special function keys. This section describes the

following keys.

■

Numeric keypad: Your LifeBook notebook has a ten-

key numeric keypad which allows certain keys to serve

dual purposes, both as numeric/mathematical keys

and navigation keys. The ability to toggle between the

numerical keys and navigation keys is controlled

through the [NumLk] key.

WINDOWS KEYS

Your notebook has two Windows keys: a Start key and

an Application key. The Start key displays the Start

menu, and functions the same as your onscreen Start

menu button. The Application key functions the same as

your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus

for the selected item. (Refer to your Windows documen-

tation for more information regarding the Windows

keys.)

■

Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow

keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the

right, left, up, or down within windows, applications

and documents.

■

Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12]

are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce

special actions that vary depending on what program

is running.

■

Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows

CURSOR KEYS

operating system and function the same as the

onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on

your pointing device.

The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard

which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and

right in applications. In programs such as Windows

Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up,

down, left, or right).

Volume Control

Your LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls

which interact with each other.

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 the external volume control

setting.

CONTROLLING THE VOLUME

Methods to Control Volume

The volume can be controlled in several ways:

■

Volume can be set using the volume control toggle on

the right of the WLAN switch.

Volume

Volume Control

Figure 2-10 Volume Control

■

Volume can be set from within the Volume Control in

the system tray.

■

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.

CLICKING

Touchpad Pointing Device

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 2-12)

The Touchpad pointing device is built into your note-

book. 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 an up-and-down scroll button (which also acts as a

fingerprint recognition sensor).

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, and

the more pressure you use, the faster the cursor will

move.

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 up-and down scroll button allows you to quickly

navigate up and down a screen. For information on

using the scroll button as a fingerprint recognition

sensor, refer to “Fingerprint Sensor Device” on page 99

Figure 2-12. Clicking

DOUBLE-CLICKING

Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left

button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does

not function with the right button. To double-click,

move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press the

left button twice, then immediately release it. You also

have the option to perform the double-click operation

by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice. (Figure 2-13)

An external mouse can be connected to

the USB port on your notebook, and be

used simultaneously with the Touchpad.

However, if you boot the system with an

external mouse connected the Touchpad

will be disabled or enabled depending on

your BIOS settings. (See BIOS Setup Util-

ity on page 27 for more information)

gating through online pages. To use the scrolling sensor,

move your finger forward or backward across the button

to scroll up or down a page. When you have reached the

desired section of the page, raise your finger.

If the interval between clicks is too long,

the double-click will not be executed. The

interval length can be changed by going to

Control Panel -> Mouse -> Mouse Proper-

ties -> Buttons tab.

Note that you can also scroll by sliding your finger up

and down the right side of the touchpad. This feature is

disabled by default, but you can enable it by going to

Start -> Control Panel -> Mouse.

DRAGGING

Dragging means pressing and holding the left button,

while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the

item you wish to move. Press and hold the left button

while moving the item to its new location and then

release it. (Figure 2-14)

The scrolling sensor is also used as a fingerprint sensor.

BOOT SEQUENCE

The procedure for starting-up your notebook is termed

the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s

BIOS. When your notebook is first turned on, the main

system memory is empty, and it needs to find instruc-

tions 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 the 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.

Power/Suspend

Resume Button

■

You restart your LifeBook notebook from the Win-

dows Shut Down dialog box.

Figure 3-3. Powering Up the System

■

The software initiates a system restart. Example:

When you install a new application.

Once you have connected your AC adapter or charged

the internal Lithium ion Battery, you can press this

button to power up your notebook. (Figure 3-3)

HARD DISK DRIVE PASSWORDS

To provide additional security for your data, you can

assign passwords to your hard disk drive(s). This feature

is managed in the system BIOS Setup Utility. See BIOS

Setup Utility below for information about accessing the

utility.

When you turn on your notebook be sure

you have a power source. This means that

the battery is installed and charged, or the

AC adapter is connected and has power.

Do not carry the notebook around with

power on or subject it to vibration or

shocks; doing so could damage the

notebook.

Remember your passwords. If you set and

forget your User and Master hard disk

passwords, Fujitsu Computer Systems will

not be able to reset it. You may lose data

and have to replace your system board or

hard disk drive.

When you Power On your notebook, it will perform a

Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts

and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is

found, your notebook will emit an audio warning and/

or an error message will be displayed. (See Power On Self

Test Messages on page 61 for more information).

Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be

able to continue by starting the operating system or by

entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings.

BIOS SETUP UTILITY

The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the

operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS is

set at the factory for normal operating conditions, there-

fore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environ-

ment to operate your notebook.

The BIOS Setup Utility also allows you to configure such

features as the System Data Security feature parameters,

such as passwords.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On Self Test

(POST), your notebook will load your operating system.

Timing out from lack of activity.

Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery

Warning condition.

Power Management

Your 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 operating condi-

tions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal

power management for your LifeBook notebook may be

controlled from settings made in your operating system.

Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically

stores the file(s) on which you are working, open appli-

cation(s) information, and any other data required to

support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume

operation from Sleep mode, your LifeBook notebook

will return to the point where it left off. You must use the

Power and Suspend/Resume button to resume opera-

tion, and there must be an adequate power source avail-

able, or your LifeBook notebook will not resume.

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 Sleep 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.

■

If you are running your notebook on

battery power, be aware that the battery

continues to discharge while your note-

book is in Sleep mode, though not as

fast as when fully operational.

■

Disabling the Suspend/Resume button

prevents it from being used to put your

LifeBook notebook in Sleep or Save-to-

Disk mode. The resume function of the

button cannot be disabled.

POWER AND SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON

When your LifeBook notebook is active, the Power and

Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put

your notebook into Sleep mode. Push the Power and

Suspend/Resume 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 Sleep mode.

■

The Sleep or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk)

mode should not be used with certain

PC Cards. Check your PC Card docu-

mentation for more information.

■

When PC Cards or external devices are

in use, Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode

cannot return to the exact state prior to

suspension because all of the peripheral

devices will be re-initialized when the

system re-starts.

If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Power and

Suspend/Resume button will return your notebook to

active operation. You can tell whether or not your

system is in Sleep mode by looking at the Power indi-

cator which is part of the Suspend/Resume button. (See

Figure 2-8 on page 15 for location) If the indicator is

visible and not flashing, your LifeBook notebook is fully

operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing,

your notebook is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not

visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in

Save-to-Disk (Hibernation) mode. (See Hibernation

(Save-to-Disk) Feature on page 31 for more information)

■

If your notebook is actively accessing

information when you enter the Sleep or

Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode,

changes to open files are not lost. The

files are left open and memory is kept

active during Sleep mode, or the mem-

ory is transferred to the internal hard

drive during Hibernation mode.

■

The main advantage of using the Hiber-

nation (Save-to-Disk) function is that

power is not required to maintain your

data. This is particularly important if you

will be leaving your LifeBook notebook

in a suspended state for a prolonged

period of time. The drawback of using

Hibernation mode is that it lengthens

the power down and power up

SLEEP MODE

Sleep mode saves the contents of your LifeBook note-

book’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

LifeBook notebook can be put in Sleep mode by:

WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT

The Power Options icon located in the Windows

Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power

management settings. For example, you can use the

Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off

the display and hard disks whether you are running the

notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.

RESTARTING THE SYSTEM

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure

that you use the following procedure.

1. Click the Start button, and then move the mouse

over the right arrow.

2. Select the desired action from the list.

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.

POWER OFF

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/

optical drive access indicator is off. 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.

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.

RECHARGING THE BATTERIES

Lithium ion Battery

If you want to know the condition of the primary

Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Status indicator

located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator

changes as the battery level changes.

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion

battery that provides power for operating your note-

book when no external power source is available. The

rechargeable battery is durable and long lasting, but

should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high

voltages, chemicals or other hazards. For information

on maximizing your battery life, refer to the section

entitled “Power Management” on page 30.

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the

AC adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the

battery that needs to be charged is installed in your Life-

Book notebook and connect the AC adapter.

The Lithium ion battery operating time may become

shorter if it is used under the following conditions:

Make sure the Battery Charging indicator

and the percentage charge is shown inside

the Battery Status icon on the Status

Indicator Panel.

■

Your system is set to use the Max Battery power

scheme when running on battery power. If you change

the power scheme to a different profile, your battery

life may vary.

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 LifeBook notebook is in use

while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the

battery more quickly, put your LifeBook into Sleep

mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the

battery. (See Power Management on page 30 for more

information on Sleep mode and shutdown procedure)

■

When used at temperatures that exceed a low of

5°C (40°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme

temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but

can also cause battery deterioration. The charging

icon on the Status Indicator panel will flash when you

try to charge a battery that is outside its operating

temperature range. (See Battery Charging Indicator on

page 15 for more information)

■

When using a high current device such as a modem,

Using high current devices such as a

modem or frequent optical drive accesses

may prevent complete charging.

DVD/CD-RW drive, DVD writer, or hard drive, using

the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.

■

Do not leave a faulty battery in your

LifeBook notebook. It may damage your

AC adapter or your notebook itself. It

may also prevent operation of your

notebook by draining all available cur-

rent into the bad battery.

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 LifeBook notebook will go into Sleep

mode. There is no guarantee that your data will not be

lost once the notebook reaches this point.

■

Under federal, state, or local law it may

be illegal to dispose of batteries by put-

ting them in the trash. Please take care

of our environment and dispose of

batteries properly. Check with your local

government authority for details

regarding recycling or disposing of old

batteries. If you cannot find this

Control Panel.

information elsewhere, contact your

support representative at:

1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800-838-5487).

To prevent loss of data, you should save all

your active data and put your notebook

into Sleep mode when the low battery

message appears, until you can provide a

new power source. When you are in Sleep

mode, there must always be at least one

power source active. If you turn off the

power with the power/suspend/resume

button, or remove all power sources while

your notebook is in Sleep mode, any data

that has not been saved to the hard drive

will be lost. You should provide power to

your notebook from an AC power adapter

as soon as possible.

Actual battery life will vary based on

factors such as screen brightness,

applications, features, power management

settings, battery condition and other

customer preferences. DVD/CD-RW,

DVD- writer, or hard drive usage may

also have a significant impact on battery

life. Battery charging capacity is reduced as

the battery ages. If your battery is running

low quickly, you should replace it.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-

cator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your Life-

Book notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode

you will be unable to resume operation until you

provide a source of power from an AC adapter. Once you

have provided power, you will need to press the

Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the

Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be main-

tained for some time, but if a power source is not

provided promptly, the Power 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 LifeBook notebook while the

adapter is charging the battery.

USING THE OPTICAL PLAYER SOFTWARE

USING THE DRIVE ON BATTERY POWER

Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall

battery life will be shorter when operating the optical

drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie).

Many movie 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.

Prior to using your optical drive, you must

install the optical player software. For

details on using your optical player

software, refer to the software Help file.

Starting a DVD Movie

1. Insert the DVD into the notebook’s optical drive. If

the CD AutoRun feature activates, skip Step 2.

2. The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD-

RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you

want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g.,

start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you

make a selection, you will receive the same prompt

whenever you insert a disc.

3. Click OK to close the About DVD Player Perfor-

mance dialog box and the movie will begin. After

you make your selections, the PowerDVD control

panel will appear whenever you insert a disc.

AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTION

The Auto Insert Notification function allows your Life-

Book notebook to automatically start a DVD/CD as soon

as it is inserted in the optical drive and the tray is closed.

Your notebook will begin playing an audio DVD/CD or

will start an application if the DVD/CD includes an auto

run file.

■

Prolonged use of the optical drive, such

as watching a DVD movie, will

substantially reduce your battery life.

Many movie run-times are longer than

your system 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.

An additional battery is 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:

To prevent a CD from playing automatically as soon as it

is inserted, refer to the related help file for your specific

operating system.

■

www.shopfujitsu.com or call 1-877-

372-3473.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

1. Have an additional fully-charged battery or your AC

adapter ready for use.

2. Start watching your DVD movie.

3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately

stop the movie and exit the optical player.

If you don’t stop the optical drive quickly

and the notebook attempts to auto-

suspend (critical battery low state) the

notebook will shut down improperly. If this

occurs, you will need to power the system

up with the power/suspend/resume button

and follow any instructions that appear.

4. Manually place your notebook into Sleep mode by

depressing the Suspend button. Plug in a power

adapter and replace the discharged battery with an

additional fully-charged battery. If you do not have

an additional battery, you may use the AC power

adapter as your power source to continue watching

the movie while recharging the installed battery.

5. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend

button again. This step is not required if you

attached AC power without entering Sleep mode.

6. Restart your optical drive, locate and skip to the

chapter of the movie you were last watching.

7. Continue watching your DVD movie.

Some shorter DVD movies may not require

you to swap batteries or attach AC power

to complete them. However, it is best to be

prepared since actual battery life while

operating the optical drive cannot be

guaranteed.

Memory Upgrade Module

Your notebook has two memory slots, and the system

comes with 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB of factory-installed

memory. If you have a module installed in only one slot,

you can increase your memory capacity by installing

another memory module in the empty slot or by

increasing the size of the single installed module. The

minimum amount of memory in your system is 1GB.

INSTALLING A MEMORY MODULE

1. Turn off power to your LifeBook notebook using the

power/suspend/resume button, and remove any

power adapter.

2. Make sure that all the connector covers are closed.

3. Turn the LifeBook notebook bottom side up, with

the front panel toward you.

■

4. Remove the screws at the front of the memory

Systems with Microsoft Windows Vista

upgrade module compartment. (Figure 4-11)

installed require a minimum of 512 MB

of memory, but 1 GB or more is recom-

mended.

5. Remove the cover by tilting the front edge up, then

pulling forward until the tabs on the cover are free.

■

If 4 GB of memory is installed in your

system, only 3.25 GB are usable, due to

operating system constraints.

Your notebook supports dual-channel memory, which

can have a significant effect upon your system’s perfor-

mance. In order to support dual-channel memory, two

DIMM modules must be installed in your computer.

■

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.

Figure 4-11. Opening the Memory Upgrade Compartment

6. Remove the memory upgrade module from the

static guarded sleeve.

■

The memory upgrade module can be

severely damaged by electrostatic dis-

charge (ESD). To minimize risk to the

module, observe the following:

7. Align the memory upgrade module with the part

side up. Align the connector edge of the memory

upgrade module with the connector slot in the

compartment. The connector will be pointing

touch a grounded metal object to

discharge static electricity built up in

your body.

8. Insert the memory upgrade module at a 45° angle.

Press the connector edge of the module firmly down

and into the connector until it lodges under the

retaining clip. You will hear a click when it is prop-

erly in place. (Figure 4-12)

■

When installing or removing a

memory module, hold it by the edge

so as not to touch any contacts or

chips. Do not to touch any internal

computer terminals or components;

the oil from your fingers could cause a

short to the components.

■

Power down your system before you

add or remove memory modules.

Even if the system is in hibernate or

Sleep states, data could be lost or the

memory could be damaged if power is

still available to the system.

The installation of incompatible memory

modules can cause numerous problems

which could result in loss of data. Memory

upgrades must be PC2-5300 DDR2-667

SO-DIMM modules. Fujitsu highly recom-

mends that you only purchase additional

memory from the Fujitsu on-line accessory

store at: us.fujitsu.com/computers.

This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in

your setup utility does not agree with the type detected

by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to

correct the inconsistency.

The following is an alphabetic list of error-and-status

messages that Phoenix BIOS and/or your operating

system can generate and an explanation of each message.

Error messages are marked with an *. The most

common errors are marked with a #. If an error message

is displayed that is not in this list, write it down and

check your operating system documentation both on

screen and in the manual. If you can find no reference

to the message and its meaning is not clear, contact

your support representative for assistance.

*Incorrect Drive B type – run SETUP

Where nnnn is the amount of system cache in kilobytes

successfully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This can

only appear if you have an SRAM PC Card installed.)

*Invalid NVRAM media type

Problem with NVRAM access. In the unlikely case that

you see this message you may have some display prob-

lems. You can continue operating but should contact

your support representative for more information.

*Diskette drive A error or Diskette drive B error

Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS Power On Self

Test diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined

with the proper diskette type in the Setup Utility, (See

BIOS Setup Utility page 27 for more information) and

that the diskette drive is installed correctly. If the disk

drive is properly defined and installed, avoid using it

and contact your support representative.

*Keyboard controller error

The keyboard controller test failed. You may have to

replace your keyboard or keyboard controller but may

be able to use an external keyboard until then.

*Keyboard error

Keyboard not working. You may have to replace your

keyboard or keyboard controller but may be able to use

an external keyboard until then. Contact your support

representative.

*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn

Extended memory not working or configured improp-

erly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module,

verify that the module is properly installed. If it is prop-

erly installed, check your Windows Setup to be sure it is

not using unavailable memory until you can contact

your support representative.

*Keyboard error nn

BIOS discovered a stuck key and displays the scan code

for the stuck key. You may have to replace your keyboard

but may be able to use an external keyboard until then.

Contact your support representative.

nnnn Extended RAM Passed

Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes

successfully tested.

*Monitor type does not match CMOS – Run SETUP

Monitor type not correctly identified in Setup. This error

probably means your BIOS is corrupted, run the setup

utility and set all settings to the default conditions. If you

still get this error, contact your support representative.

*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn

This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in

System, Extended, or Shadow memory) which failed the

memory test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed

bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to lose data

if you continue. Contact your support representative.

#*Operating system not found

Operating system cannot be located on either drive A: or

drive C:. Enter the setup utility and see if both the fixed

disk, and drive A: are properly identified and that the

boot sequence is set correctly. Unless you have changed

your installation greatly, the operating system should be

on drive C:. If the setup utility is correctly set, your hard

drive may be corrupted and your system may have to be

reinstalled from your back up media.

*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller

Failure (where x = 1-4)

The fixed disk is not working or not configured prop-

erly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified

in your setup utility does not agree with the type

detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility

to check for the hard drive type settings and correct

them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message

appears when you restart the system, there may be a

serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you

continue. Contact your support representative.

*Parity Check 1 nnnn

Parity error found in the system bus. BIOS attempts to

locate the address and display it on the screen. If it

cannot locate the address, it displays ????. This is a

Default configuration used

Previous Power On Self Test did not complete success-

fully. The Power On Self Test will load default values and

offer to run Setup. If the previous failure was caused by

incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next

boot will likely fail also. If using the default settings does

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 computer

configuration for use as documented below.

6. After the components are installed, click [OK], then

click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the

system.

RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE

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.

The Recovery and Utility Disc only restores

the primary hard disk drive. If you have an

optional second hard disk drive installed, it

will not be restored using these utilities.

Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications

The Drivers and Applications disc can be used to

selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may

have been un-installed or corrupted.

The Recovery and Utility 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

There may be certain free third-party

applications pre-installed on your system

that are not on the DAR disc. The latest

versions of the applications can be

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.

downloaded from the third-party’s website.

• 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,

visit our Website at: us.fujitsu.com/

computers.

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 Drivers and Applications disc.

• This disc can only be used with the system

with which it was purchased.

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.

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 one of the following procedures:

Changing priority from BOOT Menu:

1. Start your system and press the [F12] key when the

Fujitsu logo appears. You will open the Boot Menu

window.

4. In the list, check off all the components you want to

AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADING

DRIVER UPDATES

Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu

Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose

to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to

check for new updates for your system.

1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the

Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup

Utility.

Or..., press the [Enter] key or the left mouse button

when the Fujitsu logo appears. The TrustedCore

Menu will appear. Select BIOS Setup from the Trust-

edCore Menu.

The FDU icon

icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not

appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to

[Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver

Update; this will create the icon automatically.

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

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.

To invoke the FDU menu, right-click on the FDU icon.

The menu contains the following items:

the icon has a red bar through it, indicating that it

cannot be used while the download is in process.

When the update is complete, a message appears

informing you of the fact.

ciently by sliding the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off

position. (Figure A-3)

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.

The wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wire-

less LAN models.

Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz range

may interfere with operation of WLAN devices in

IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference

include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects,

and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended

that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure

proper operation of the WLAN device.

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.). To deactivate the WLAN device, use the

Wireless LAN Glossary

MAC address (Media Access Control Address)

GLOSSARY

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.

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.

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.

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)

Network key

A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate

IP addresses to computers on a local area network.

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.

DNS (Domain Name System)

A data query service that provides a mechanism with

which to translate host names into Internet addresses.

Network name (SSID: Service Set Identifier)

IEEE802.11a

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.

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.

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.

Access point

Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and

wired network traffic.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shared key authentication

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

W I r e l e s s L A N U s e r ’s G u i d e

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

ABOUT IP ADDRESSES

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.

If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows,

or,

If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the

network, set the IP address as follows:

[Obtain an IP address automatically]

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.

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.

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)

Fingerprint Sensor Device

INTRODUCING THE FINGERPRINT

SENSOR DEVICE

Your system has a fingerprint sensor device below the

Touchpad, between the left and right buttons. This also

serves as a scroll button.

INSTALLING OMNIPASS

If OmniPass has already been installed on your system,

skip this section and go directly to “User Enrollment” on

page 100. 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:

Figure B-1 Fingerprint sensor

■

Windows XP Professional operating system

At least 35 MB available hard disk space

■

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.

Installing the OmniPass Application

If OmniPass is already installed on your system, go to

“User Enrollment” on page 100. (If you have run the

ClickMe! utility, it is likely that OmniPass has already

been installed on your system.) Otherwise continue with

this section on software installation.

With a fingerprint sensor, you can avoid having to enter

a username and password every time you want to:

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

proceeding with OmniPass installation.

■

Log onto Windows

■

Recover from Sleep mode

■

Cancel a password-protected screen saver

■

Log into homepages that require a username and pass-

word

To install OmniPass on your system you must:

After you have “enrolled” - or registered - your finger-

print, you can simply swipe your fingertip over the

sensor for the system recognize you.

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.

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.

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:\).

The use of OmniPass results in a secure authentication

system for restricting access to your computer, applica-

tions, websites, and other password-protected resources.

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.

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

The installation program automatically places an icon

(Softex OmniPass) in the Windows Control Panel as well

Verifying Information about OmniPass

Master Password Concept

After you have completed installing OmniPass and

restarted your system, you may wish to check the version

of OmniPass on your system.

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.

To check the version information of OmniPass:

1. From the Windows Desktop, double-click the key-

shaped OmniPass icon in the system tray (usually

located in the lower right corner of the screen),

or,

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.

Click the Start button, select Settings, and click

Control Panel. 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,

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.

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.

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

Uninstalling OmniPass

Before you uninstall the software, decrypt

all OmniPass encrypted files and export all

OmniPass User Profiles. Failure to do so

may result in permanent loss of encrypted

file data, and permanent loss of all

remembered passwords and associated

information (see Chapter 5 of the

OmniPass help document: Exporting and

Importing Users).

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

proceeding with OmniPass uninstallation.

enrolled that OmniPass user, he will not gain access.

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.

To remove the OmniPass application from your system:

1. Click Start on the Windows system tray. Select

Settings, and then Control Panel.

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 system tray; select Programs; select

Softex; click OmniPass Enrollment Wizard.

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.

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.

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. 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.

3. In this step OmniPass captures your fingerprint.

Refer to “Enrolling a Fingerprint” on page 101 for

additional information.

Successful fingerprint verification will show a green

fingerprint in the capture window and the text Veri-

fication Successful under the capture window.

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.

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.

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.

OmniPass Authentication Toolbar

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.

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 sleep or hibernate, when unlocking

a password-enabled screensaver, during password

replacement for remembered site or application logins,

and more. When you see this toolbar, OmniPass is

prompting you to authenticate.

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].

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.

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.

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).

Your system has a “swipe” fingerprint sensor. A

swipe sensor is small and resembles a skinny elon-

gated rectangle. To capture a fingerprint, gently

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.

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.

Associating a Friendly Name

The following cases are applicable to using OmniPass to

password protected resources.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

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

U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r

words under Vault Settings. You will see the Manage

Passwords interface, with a list of friendly names.

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".

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.

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.

The two check boxes in Manage Passwords govern

whether OmniPass prompts you to authenticate or

directly logs you into the remembered site.

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.

OmniPass will overwrite an old set of credentials for a

website if you attempt to use Remember Password on an

already remembered site.

Identities and Password Management

On the Manage Passwords interface of the Vault

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 102.

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.

CONFIGURING OMNIPASS

This section gives an overview of both the Export/

Import function and the OmniPass Control Center.

OmniPass User Identities

Identities allow OmniPass users to have multiple

accounts to the same site (e.g., [email protected] and

[email protected]). If OmniPass did not provide

you identities, you would be limited to remembering

one account per site.

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

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].

When you delete an identity, all of its

associated remembered sites and password

protected dialogs are lost.

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-

proper credentials cannot be supplied, the user profile

will not be imported.

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.

■

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.

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.

Exporting an OmniPass User Profile

To export a user, open the OmniPass Control Center,

and click Import/Export User under Manage Users.

■

If you attempt to import a user profile who has the

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.

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.

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.

You can access the OmniPass Control Center any of

three ways:

■

Double-click the golden OmniPass key shaped icon in

the Windows system tray (typically in the lower-right

corner of the desktop)

Importing an OmniPass User Profile

■

Click the Start button; select the Programs group;

You cannot import a user into OmniPass if

there already is a user with the same name

enrolled in OmniPass.

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.

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.

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 103. 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 100.

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

U s i n g t h e F i n g e r p r i n t S e n s o r

to remove. OmniPass will prompt you to confirm user

removal. Click OK to complete user removal.

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

Removing a user will automatically destroy

all OmniPass data associated with that

user. All identities and credentials

associated with the user will be lost.

Cannot add Windows users to OmniPass

If you are sure about removing the user,

we recommend you export the user

profile.

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.

User Settings

The User Settings tab has four interfaces: Audio Settings,

Taskbar Tips, and Enrollment. User settings allow users

to customize OmniPass to suit their individual prefer-

ences. Under User Settings (Audio Settings and Taskbar

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 Taskbar Tips interfaces are self-explana-

tory.

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.

The Enrollment interface allows you to enroll finger-

prints. To enroll additional fingerprints, click Enroll

Authentication Device, and authenticate 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.

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.

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.

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.

The first option, Automatically log on to OmniPass as

the current user, will do just as it says; during Windows

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.

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

With the second option, Manually log on to OmniPass

at startup, OmniPass will prompt you to login once you

have logged on to Windows.

■

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.

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 system tray icon and clicking Log in User

from the right-click menu.

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.
