Getting to Know Your Tablet PC
Figure 2-11. Opening the display
Display Panel
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC contains a display
panel that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environ-
ments. The convertible design of your Tablet PC allows
you to open the display fully, rotate it 180 degrees, and
lay it face up on the keyboard. This allows you to use the
system as a tablet, much as you would a pad of paper.
OPENING THE DISPLAY PANEL
1. Slide the latch release to the right. This releases the
locking mechanism. While holding the latch release,
lift display cover.
2. Lift the display backwards, being careful not to
touch the screen, until it is at a comfortable viewing
angle. (Figure 2-11)
USING THE SYSTEM AS A TABLET
If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform
the following step
s.
1. Lift the display until it is perpendicular to the
keyboard. (Figure 2-13).
2. When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard,
rotate it clockwise (when viewed from the top). Be
very careful to rotate it in the direction indicated.
(Figure 2-14). Turn the display 180 degrees so that it
is facing backwards. (Figure 2-15)
3. Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it
forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard.
4. Push the latch towards the display (See "A" in
Figure 2-12). The latch will pivot so the top latch
disappears, and the bottom latch appears (See "B" in
Figure 2-12). Holding the latch down, lay the display
flush against the system so that the latch engages.
You can now use your system as a tablet. (Figure 2-
16)

5. To return the system to notebook configuration,
repeat step 3 and 2. Be sure to turn the display in the
opposite direction when performing step 2.
