When you have finished with Application Panel utility,
click on OK, and the new settings will take effect. You
can reconfigure your LifeBook Application Panel as
often as you like.
DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL
Your LifeBook notebook includes a desktop control
panel for your notebook’s desktop that you can use at
any time. You may use this panel to operate the media
player when you have the Selector switch in the
Application position or Lock mode.
To use the desktop control panel:
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Click on Lifebook Application Panel.
4. Click on CD Player.
The desktop control panel will appear in the upper
corner of your screen. To close the panel:
1. Click on the “x” button.
To minimize the panel:
2. Click on the “-” button.
You can select from four appearances for your desktop
control panel. Simply double-click on the track display
area of the panel, and a menu will appear which will
allow you to select from a pull down menu. On the same
pop-up are two other options: “Always on top” and
“Continuous Play”. If you click on “Always on top” the
desktop controls will always be seen on your screen, no
matter what other application you are running. If you
click on “Continuous Play”, your media player will
automatically start over at the beginning of the CD in
the drive as soon as it finishes the last track.
You can move the desktop control panel to anywhere on
your desktop. Drag it by clicking on the track number
display, holding it down, and dragging the control panel.
When you place it where you would like, release the
mouse button
.
Deactivating and Activating the Application Panel
To deactivate the LifeBook Application Panel, follow
these easy steps:
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Programs.
3. Click on LifeBook Application Panel.
4. Click on Stop Application Panel.
To reactivate, follow the same procedure, except for
step 4. Click on Start Application Panel instead
.
If you choose to use the buttons when the
notebook is in standby, they will function
even if hit accidentally, and will turn on
your notebook even if you are not using
the notebook. This could deplete your bat-
tery, and you will need to recharge it
before using the notebook.
If you have your display set to 256 colors,
the basic display will appear no matter
which one you select. You will need to set
your display colors to more than 256 in
order to select other display appearances.
Every time you start Windows, the Life-
Book Application Panel is activated, even if
you deactivated it before you shut down.
