Optical Drive
There is a variety of media available to use with your system, depending upon the system configuration you have selected. Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer, DVD/CD-RW Combo drives, and DVD-ROM drives are known as “optical drives”.
A CD-R or DVD-R disc can only be written to once; CD-RW or DVD-RW discs can be written to over and over. CD-R and CD-RW discs hold up to 700MB of data. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs hold up to 4.7 GB of data. A dual-layer (single-sided) DVD+R disc can hold up to 8.5 GB of data.
Depending upon the configuration of your LifeBook notebook, you may have one of the following drives:
Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer: The Dual­Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer combines seven recordable formats in a single drive (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R, and CD­RW), making it the most versatile drive to date.
DVD/CD-RW combo: A DVD/CD-RW combo drive allows you to access movie, software, data, or audio DVD/CDs, and to write data onto recordable CD-R and CD-RW discs.
DVD-ROM: A DVD-ROM drive allows you to access software, data, or audio DVDs or CDs.
MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE
Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer model only: With the Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer and media player software you can play DVD movies and music CDs on your LifeBook notebook. The media player includes controls which allow you to take full advantage of the features of a DVD movie, as well as standard features such as fast forward, fast reverse, pause, etc. With this drive you can also burn onto recordable dual­layer DVD+R, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/RW discs.
The Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer also supports burning and reading DVD­RAM. Windows XP supports burning and reading of DVD-RAM as a standard feature.
DVD/CD-RW Combo model only:
With the combo drive, you can play DVD movies, read audio CDs, and write data onto recordable CD-R or CD-RW discs.
DVD-ROM model only:
With the DVD-ROM drive, you
can read software, audio, or data CDs or DVDs
Do not operate your optical drive unless your LifeBook notebook is sitting on a flat surface. Using a drive when the system is not level may damage the drive or prevent proper operation.
Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your battery life if no other power source is attached.
LOADING MEDIA ON YOUR DRIVE
To load a disc into your optical drive:
1. Push and release the eject button on the front of the optical drive to open the holder tray. The tray will come out of the LifeBook notebook a short distance.
2. Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily
be placed in the tray.

LifeBook S7000 Notebook
You should periodically check for current updated drivers either by using the Fujitsu Driver Update utility (See “Automatically Downloading Driver Updates” on page 67) or by going to the Fujitsu web site at us.fujitsu.com/ computers .
All LifeBook DVD players are set to play DVD titles with region code number 1 which is specified for the North Amer­ican market. The region number is a regional restriction code defined by the DVD Forum acting on Hollywood requirements. Different region codes are recorded on video DVD titles for publication in different areas of the world. If the regional code of the DVD player does not match the regional codes on the titles, then playback is impossible.
You can change the region code on the DVD player using the Properties menu of the DVD software. Note, however, that you can only change the region code up to four times. After the fourth change, the last region code entered becomes permanent, and cannot be changed.
3. Place the media into the tray, label side up, with the hole in the center of the disc. Snap the disc onto the raised circle in the center of the tray.
4. Gently push the holder tray back in until you
hear a click. (Figure 4-2)
If you have disabled the Auto Insert Notification Function, you will have to start the drive from your desktop, since your LifeBook notebook will not automatically recognize that media has been loaded.
REMOVING MEDIA
1. Push and release the eject button on the front of the optical drive. This will stop the drive and the holder tray will come out of the LifeBook notebook a short distance.
2. Gently pull the tray out until the disc can easily be removed from the tray.
3. Carefully remove the media disc from the holder tray.
4. Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a click.
USING THE MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE
Depending upon its configuration, your system may not have the media player software pre-installed. If it is not installed, reference the documentation that accompanies the media application.
Starting a DVD Movie (DVD Models only)
1. Insert the DVD movie into the optical drive of your notebook. If the CD auto run feature activates, skip Step 2.
2. The first time you insert a movie into the DVD/CD­RW tray, you will be prompted to select what you want the system to do when discs are inserted (e.g., start automatically or wait for a prompt). Until you make a selection, you will receive the same prompt whenever you insert a disc.
3. Click OK to close the About DVD Player Performance dialog box and the movie will begin.

USING DOLBY
HEADPHONE
The Dolby Headphone utility lets you enjoy multi­channel sound sources with realistic surround sound using your conventional stereo headphones.
Dolby Headphone is a signal processing system that enables your stereo headphones to realistically portray the sound of a five-speaker playback system.
Media discs which do not have the Dolby Surround 5:1 symbol will not support Dolby Headphone.
After making changes to the Dolby Headphone feature and clicking OK, wait at least ten seconds before making another change in order to allow the system to stabilize.
To use the Dolby Headphone feature, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the disc in the media player tray. When you do so, WinDVD will start automatically.
2. Click on the Fujitsu logo on the WinDVD control panel. If the disc supports Dolby Surround 5.1, a drop down menu appears.
3. Verify that Dolby headphones is checked on the menu. If you do not want it active, select Disable.
USING MEDIA PLAYER ON BATTERY POWER
Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when operating the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movies run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a single charged battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety.
Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will greatly reduce your notebook’s battery life.
Many movie run-times are longer than your system can support on a single battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety.
An additional fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on battery power. If you don’t have an additional battery, you may purchase one either online at us.fujitsu.com/computers or by calling 1-877-372-3473.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.
2. Start watching your DVD movie.
3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the media player.
If you do not stop the media player quickly and the LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the LifeBook notebook will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to perform a hard reset and follow the instructions, if any, presented to you before the system will reboot.
4. Power down your LifeBook notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully­charged battery. If you do not have an additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon as you see the low battery warning.
5. Resume your LifeBook notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This is not required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode.
6. Restart your media player, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.
7. Continue watching your DVD movie.
Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life while operating the optical drive cannot be guaranteed.

LifeBook S7000 Notebook
Lithium ion Battery
Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.
The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
When used at temperatures that exceeds a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indi­cator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range.
(See Battery Charging Indicators on page 11 for more information)
When using a high current device such as a modem, Multi-Format DVD Writer, DVD-ROM drive, DVD/ CD-RW combo drive, or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.
Do not leave a faulty battery in your LifeBook notebook. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your notebook itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery.
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LifeBook notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter
Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.
(See Power Management on page 32 for more information
on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure)
Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD­ROM accesses may prevent charging completely.
.
Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, fea­tures, power management settings, bat­tery condition and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive, Multi-For­mat DVD Writer, DVD/CD-RW drive combo, or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery ages. If your battery is running low quickly, you should replace it with a new one.
Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by put­ting them in the trash. Please take care of our environment and dispose of bat­teries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regard­ing recycling or disposing of old batter­ies. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support repre­sentative at 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800­838-5487)
40
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notifica­tion message will appear. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook will go into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once
the notebook reaches this point.
Once the low battery notification mes­sage appears, you need to save all your active data and put your LifeBook note­book into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, an AC power adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.
When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you remove all power sources while your LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.
S7020.book Page 41 Friday, May 13, 2005 3:49 PM
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi­cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. (See figure 2- 10 on page 11) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your LifeBook notebook.
