BIOS Guide
A guide to your notebook’s BIOS is available online.
Please visit our service and support website at:
http://www.us.fujitsu.com/computers. Once there,
select Support, then select Notebooks under User’s
Guides. Select LifeBook BIOS Guides from the pull-
down menu for your LifeBook series. If you’re unsure of
the notebook’s BIOS number, refer to your packing slip
.
BOOTING THE SYSTEM
We strongly recommend that you not attach any external
devices and do not 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.
STARTING VISTA FOR THE FIRST TIME
In order to ensure that you receive the most benefits
from the Windows operating system, it should be
registered the first time you use it.
1. First of all, you will need to read and accept the End
User License Agreements (EULAs).
2. You will be prompted to enter your User Name and
Password and you will be given a chance to select an
icon for your account.
3. The next screen asks for a Computer Name and
allows you to choose a desktop background.
4. You will next see a "Help protect Windows automat-
ically" screen in which the default choice is "Use
recommended settings”. The other two choices are
"Install important updates only" and "Ask me later".
Select from the three choices.
5. On the next screen set your time and date settings.
6. You will next see the "Select your computer's current
location" screen. Make your selection from Home,
Work (Default), and Public location.
7. The "Thank you" screen follows and an offer for free
Norton is extended. Following are several screens
while Windows checks the system performance.
8. Windows will then boot up for the first time.
REGISTERING WINDOWS WITH MICROSOFT
1. After Windows has booted up for the first time, the
Control Panel Welcome Center will appear. If the
Register Windows Online icon is not seen in the
window, click on “Show all 14 items”.
2. Click on Register Windows Online and follow the
instructions that appear to register your copy of
Windows.
REGISTERING YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK
How do I register my LifeBook notebook?
You can register your LifeBook by going to our website:
http://www.us.fujitsu.com/computers
You will need to be set up with an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) to register online.
INSTALLING CLICK ME!
The first time you boot up your system, you will see a
“Primary Settings for the PC” window. This window
explains the installations which will be performed by the
Click Me! utility. If you click [Execute], Click Me! will
begin installing. If after clicking the button you receive a
“User Account Control” window, you will be asked for
your permission to continue. Click [Yes] to continue. If
you cancel the operation, the Click Me! icon will appear
on your desktop for later installation.
If your data security settings require it, you
may be asked for a password before the
BIOS main menu will appear.
The first time you initialize your system,
the screen will be blank for approximately
two minutes. This is normal. After
initialization, a “Set Up Windows” dialog
box will appear.
Important: During the setup procedure, do
not disconnect the power supply, press any
buttons, or use any peripheral devices such
as a mouse, keyboard, or remote control.
■ If you reject the terms of the license
agreement you will be asked to review
the license agreement for information
on returning Windows or to shut down
your LifeBook notebook.
■ You cannot use your notebook until you
have accepted the License Agreement. If
you stop the process your notebook will
return to the beginning of the Windows
Welcome Process, even if you shut your
notebook down and start it up again.
