As an application launcher, the LifeBook Application
Panel is very flexible, giving you a variety of options. To
set up the Panel to best suit your needs, we have provided
the Application Panel Setup utility that quickly and easily
helps you make the most of this valuable feature.
To configure your LifeBook Application Panel with
Application Panel Setup:
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Click on LifeBook Application Panel.
4. Click on Application Panel Setup.
The Application Panel Setup utility will appear. There
are tabs that correspond to the application buttons on
the LifeBook Application Panel. When you receive your
LifeBook, these buttons are pre-configured to launch the
following programs:
■ Application A – Microsoft Works
■ Application B – Quicken®
■ Internet – Internet Explorer®
■ E-Mail – Netscape® Messenger
To change an application associated with the Application
A, Application B, or E-mail buttons, click on the tab for
the button you would like to reconfigure – for example,
Application A. Click on Browse from Start Menu, scroll
down the list of applications, click on the application
you wish to launch with this button, and then click OK.
The button will now launch the new application.
The Internet tab is different. It comes set to launch your
Windows 98 Second Edition default Internet browser,
(Internet Explorer, unless you have changed this in
Windows 98 Second Edition.) In order to reconfigure it
to launch another program follow these easy steps:
1. Click on Other from the Internet browser box.
2. Click on Browse from Start Menu.
3. Scroll down the list of applications, and the click on
the application you wish to launch with this button.
4. Click OK.
The button will now launch the new application. If you
want to return to launching your Windows 98 Second
Edition default Internet browser with this button, you
need only click on “Default Internet Browser” from the
Internet browser box. Be aware that you will erase the
settings for the “other application”. If you wish to go
back to launching the “other application” from this
button, you will need to reconfigure it as described
above.
At the bottom of each application setup page are two
selectable options. The first will enable/disable the button
when your LifeBook is in Standby mode, and the second
will enable/disable the button when your LifeBook is in
the pseudo-off state. You can enable/disable either or
both of these functions simply by clicking on the option.
When you have finished with Application Panel Setup,
click on OK, and the new settings will take effect. You
can reconfigure your LifeBook Application Panel as
often as you like.
USING THE CD PLAYER
The CD player enables you to use your LifeBook’s DVD
drive as an audio CD player, even when your LifeBook is
in the pseudo-off state, in stand-by mode or in suspend
mode. As long as the power switch is in the On position,
the CD player will function.
P O I N T
The tabs in Application Panel Setup may not be in the
same order as the buttons on your LifeBook, please
select the tab you wish to change carefully.
P O I N T
The Internet or E-mail buttons can be configured to
launch any application you wish, not just an Internet
browser or e-mail program.
P O I N T
If you choose to have the buttons work when the Life-
Book is in standby or pseudo-off, they will function
even if hit accidentally, and will turn on your LifeBook
even if you are not present or using your LifeBook. This
could deplete your battery, and you will need to
recharge it before using the LifeBook. As a precaution,
move the selector switch to the Lock position when you
are away from your LifeBook.
P O I N T
If you shut down from Windows while the CD player is
playing an audio CD, it will stop. To continue to use the
CD Player, turn the power switch to the On position
and press the play button. The audio CD will start
playing at Track 1.
