Adjusting Display Panel Brightness
Once you have turned on your Tablet PC, you may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen to a
more comfortable viewing level. There are three ways to adjust the brightness: keyboard, power
management utility, and Fujitsu Menu.
Using Keyboard to Adjust Brightness
Adjusting the brightness using the keyboard changes the system setting (i.e., the settings you make via the
function keys automatically changes the brightness settings in the system's Pen and Tablet Settings).
• [Fn+F6]: Pressing repeatedly will lower the brightness of your display.
• [Fn+F7]: Pressing repeatedly will increase the brightness of the display.
Note that changing the brightness with the [Fn] key is temporary. When you resume or restart, you will
need to reset them if you used this method.

Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust Brightness

right corner of the screen. Double-click Windows Mobility Center, then double-click the icon adjacent to
