When using your notebook equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

• CAUTION - HOT SURFACE: The bottom of this notebook computer can become hot when used for long periods of time. When using

this notebook, take caution to limit long term or continuous use while resting it on exposed skin, such as the lap.

• CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger UL Listed or CSA Certified Telecommunication Line Cord.

Recycling your battery

Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.

Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.

RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org

or call 1-800-822-8837.

If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/) and search for a convenient disposal location.

Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.

* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com in the US or

www.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks in Canada.

** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with

Fujitsu.

Figure 8. Opening the Display Panel

Display Panel

Your LifeBook TH700 Tablet PC contains an LED display panel that is backlit for easier viewing in bright environments. The convertible design of your Tablet PC allows you to open the display fully, rotate it in either direction 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

Press the display latch to release it, then lift the display backwards, being careful not to touch the screen with your fingers, until it is at a comfortable viewing angle. (Figure 8)

Curlin Consumer TH700.book Page 33 Thursday, May 6, 2010 1:57 PM

Page 35

- Display Panel

Using the System as a Tablet

If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform the following steps.

1 Press the latch button and lift the display until it is perpendicular to the keyboard. (Figure 10). 2 When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard, rotate it 180 degrees in either direction (Figure 11) so that

it is facing backwards.

3 Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it forward until it is lying nearly atop the keyboard.

To return the system to notebook configuration:

1 Press the latch button and lift the display until it is perpendicular to the keyboard.

• The display can be rotated in either direction, but when returning the system to notebook mode,

be sure to turn it back to its original position (i.e., the reverse of how you turned it when you opened it. Turning the display in the incorrect direction could cause hinge damage. The screen should rotate easily; if it does not rotate easily, you are probably attempting to turn it in the wrong direction.

• In the following step, be sure to position the display perpendicular to the keyboard, otherwise

the keyboard or display cover could get scratched.

• It is important to note that no matter which mode your tablet is in, the latch should always be

engaged to prevent damage to it.

4 Push the latch towards the display (See “A” in

Figure

9). The latch will pivot so the top latch disappears, and the bottom latch appears (See “B” in Figure

9). 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.

2 When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard, rotate it 180 degrees in either direction so that it is facing

forward.

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 Power Management to Adjust Brightness

To adjust brightness with the power management utility in Windows 7:

Click Start -> Control Panel. In View by:, select one of the icon views. Select Display, then click Adjust

brightness in the left pane. Under Select a power plan, select the plan settings you want to use. Drag Screen brightness: bar to the left or right, depending on your preference.

Using the Fujitsu Menu to Adjust Brightness

To adjust brightness using the Fujitsu menu, click on the Fujitsu Menu icon in the system tray in the lower right corner of the screen. Double-click Windows Mobility Center, then double-click the icon adjacent to Display brightness. Set the screen brightness sliders for On battery and Plugged in scenarios.

Enabling/Disabling Ambient Light Sensor

Systems which are running the Windows 7 operating system have an ambient light sensor (just below the Power/Suspend/Resume switch) that automatically senses the light conditions in which the computer is operating. If the lighting is very bright, the brightness of the LCD will increase to make it easier to see the display. Conversely, if it is used in a darkened room, the display will automatically dim.

The light sensor can be enabled or disabled from the Control Panel as follows:

1 Open the system Control Panel and click in the View by: field, select either large or small icons. 2 Click on the Location and Other Sensors icon. 3 To enable or disable the Light Sensor utility, check or uncheck the box in the Enabled column.

IF USING AC POWER, YOUR BRIGHTNESS SETTING IS SET TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL BY DEFAULT. IF USING

BATTERY POWER, YOUR BRIGHTNESS SETTING IS SET TO APPROXIMATELY MID-LEVEL BY DEFAULT.

HE HIGHER THE BRIGHTNESS, THE MORE POWER THE SYSTEM WILL CONSUME AND THE FASTER YOUR

BATTERIES WILL DISCHARGE. FOR MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE, SET THE BRIGHTNESS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.

OTE THAT WHEN YOU FIRST START YOUR SYSTEM, THE AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR IS DISABLED. YOU

WILL INITIALLY NEED TO ENABLE IT USING THE FOLLOWING STEPS.

Your Fujitsu LifeBook Tablet PC has an integral 84-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys (Figure 13):

• Numeric keypad: Your Tablet PC allows certain keys to serve dual purposes, both as standard

characters and as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to toggle between the standard character and numerical keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key.

• Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to

the right, left, up, or down within windows, applications and documents.

• Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12], are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to

produce special actions that vary depending on what program is running.

• Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows operating system and function the same as

the onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on your pointing device.

Numeric Keypad

Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way. Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.

Windows Keys

Your LifeBook Tablet PC has two Windows keys, consisting of a Start key and an Application key. The Start key displays the Start menu. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start menu button. The Application key functions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows Help and Support documentation in the Start menu for additional information regarding the Windows keys.)

Cursor Keys

The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up, down, left, or right).

Function Keys

Your LifeBook Tablet PC has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. Functions assigned to these keys differ for each application. You should refer to your software documentation to find out how these keys are used.

• The [Fn] key provides extended functions for the Tablet PC and is always used in conjunction with

another key.

Using the Capacitive Touchscreen

This Tablet PC has a dual digitizer that allows you to use either the stylus or your finger(s) as a pointing device. This type of display also allows you to use “gestures” to perform such actions as scroll, zoom, and rotate.

Right-clicking the touchscreen

To perform a right-click action using two fingers, press the first finger at the location you want to perform a right-click, then quickly tap and release the second finger on the screen.

Gesture Mode 

To initiate gesture mode, two fingers must touch the screen within one 10th of a second of each other. If the second finger touches the screen after one 10th of a second has elapsed, the second finger is ignored. Gesture mode ends when both fingers are removed from the screen. Note that if a gesture can’t be recognized, no action is taken. In that case, remove both fingers from the screen and try again.

Scrolling Gesture

To scroll through long documents or on a web page, place both fingers on the screen and move them in parallel in the same direction; if only one finger moves, no scrolling will occur. You can scroll vertically or horizontally, depending upon the direction of the gesture.

Zoom Gesture

The zoom gesture is especially helpful when viewing pictures. To zoom in, place two fingers on the item you want to enlarge, then spread them away from each other. To zoom out, place two fingers on the item you want to reduce, then move them towards each other.

Rotate Gesture

To change the orientation of an object on the screen, place two fingers on the image you want to rotate, then move them in opposite directions (as if you were turning a knob). The direction the item turns is dependant upon the direction you move your fingers.

• GESTURE SUPPORT IS DETERMINED BY THE APPLICATION IN USE.

• THE STYLUS TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER FINGER TOUCH. IF THE STYLUS IS WITHIN ACTIVE RANGE OF

THE SCREEN, FINGER TOUCH WILL BE DISABLED.

• WHEN ONE FINGER IS USED ON THE TOUCHSCREEN, IT BEHAVES IN THE SAME MANNER AS A STYLUS.

- Volume Control

Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook Tablet PC has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.

Controlling the Volume

The volume can be controlled in several different ways:

• Volume can be changed or muted from within the Volume Control in the system tray.

• Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding

[Fn] will decrease the volume of your Tablet PC. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your Tablet PC.

• Volume can be muted by pressing the [F3] key while holding down the [Fn] key. To restore audio,

repeat the [Fn+F3] procedure.

• Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications.

• Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume

controls.

Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.

ANY SOFTWARE THAT CONTAINS AUDIO FILES WILL ALSO CONTAIN A VOLUME CONTROL OF ITS OWN. IF

YOU INSTALL AN EXTERN AL AUDIO DEVICE THAT HAS AN INDEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROL, THE HARDWARE VOLUME CONTROL AND THE SOFTWARE VOLUME CONTROL WILL INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF YOU SET YOUR SOFTWARE VOLUME TO OFF, YOU WILL OVERRIDE THE EXTERNAL VOLUME CONTROL SETTING.

- Power Management

Power Management

Your Fujitsu LifeBook Tablet PC has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your Tablet PC may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, prebundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.

Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your Tablet PC into Sleep mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.

Power/Suspend/Resume Switch

When your Tablet PC is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume switch can be used to manually put the Tablet PC into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when the Tablet PC is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button.

If your Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch returns it to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your Tablet PC is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, the Tablet PC is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernation mode.

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display, hard drive, and all other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting.

Your Tablet PC can be put in sleep mode by:

• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when your system is turned on.

Curlin Consumer TH700.book Page 76 Thursday, May 6, 2010 1:57 PM

Page 78

- Power Management

• Selecting “Sleep” after clicking [Start] then clicking the small arrow at the bottom right of the

window.

• Timing out from lack of activity.

• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

Your Tablet PC’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode, your Tablet PC will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume switch to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your Tablet PC will not resume.

■

IF RUNNING YOUR TABLET PC ON BATTERY POWER, BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO

DISCHARGE WHILE YOUR TABLET PC IS IN SLEEP MODE, THOUGH NOT AS QUICKLY AS WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL.

■

DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME SWITCH PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THE T

ABLET PC INTO SLEEP OR HIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) MODE. THE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION

CANNOT BE DISABLED.

■

THE SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH CERTAIN EXPRESSCARDS. CHECK

YOUR EXPRESSCARD DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE INFORMATION. WHEN EXPRESSCARDS OR EXTERN AL DEVICES ARE IN USE, HIBERNATION MODE CANNOT RETURN TO THE EXACT STATE PRIOR TO SUSPENSION, BECAUSE ALL OF THE PERIPHERAL DEVICES WILL BE RE-INITIALIZED WHEN THE SYSTEM RESTARTS.

■

IF YOUR TABLET PC IS ACTIVELY ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER THE SLEEP OR HIBER-

NATION MODE, CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT LOST. THE FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS KEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEP MODE OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE DURING HIBERNATION MODE.

HE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR DATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR TABLET PC IN A SUSPENDED STATE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THE POWER DOWN AND POWER UP SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.

Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Feature

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your Tablet PC’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.

Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature

The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:

1 From the Start menu, select Control Panel, then select the Power Options icon. 2 Select “Choose what the power button does” or “Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your selections

(Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).

Windows Power Management

The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the Tablet PC on battery power or one of the adapters.

Restarting the System

If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.

1 Click the [Start] button, and then move the mouse over the small arrow at the bottom right of the right-hand

pane.

2 Select Restart from the list.

TURNING OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET PC WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR TABLET PC

WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE SYSTEM BEING SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU START

THE NEXT TIME.

Powering Off

Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your Tablet PC shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your Tablet PC to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

1 Click the [Start] button, and then move the mouse over the small arrow at the bottom right of the right-hand

pane.

2 Select Shut Down from the list.

Sleep Mode: 

You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of user inactivity, and the computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When going into Sleep mode, the computer also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network links. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the Suspend/Resume Button.

Energy saving benefits:

Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment – saving half in utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.

User-Installable Features

Lithium ion Battery

Your LifeBook Tablet PC has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your Tablet PC 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 exceed a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C (41° to 95° F). 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.

• When using a high current device such as a modem, external optical drive, or the hard drive, using

the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.

DO NOT LEAVE A FAULTY BATTERY IN YOUR TABLET PC. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR AC ADAPTER, OPTIONAL A

UTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER, ANOTHER BATTERY OR YOUR TABLET PC ITSELF. IT MAY ALSO PREVEN T

OPERATION OF YOUR TABLET PC BY DRAINING ALL AVAILABLE CURRENT INTO THE BAD BATTERY.

Curlin Consumer TH700.book Page 81 Thursday, May 6, 2010 1:57 PM

Page 83

- Lithium ion 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 Tablet PC and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.

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 Tablet PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your Tablet PC into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 76 for more

information on Sleep mode and shutdown procedure)

• ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, FEATURES, POWER

MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. OPTICAL DRIVE 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 (1-800-838-5487)

AKE SURE THAT THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS INDICATED BY THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR ON

THE STATUS INDICATOR PANEL.

Curlin Consumer TH700.book Page 82 Thursday, May 6, 2010 1:57 PM

- Lithium ion Battery

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 Tablet PC will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the Tablet PC reaches this point.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your Tablet PC 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 switch 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 Tablet PC while an adapter is charging the battery.

USING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES OR FREQUENT EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE ACCESSES MAY PREVENT

CHARGING COMPLETELY.

■

ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE

DATA AND PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET PC INTO SLEEP MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY, AN AC POWER ADAPTER, OR

UTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

■

WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF

YOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR LIFEBOOK TABLET PC IS IN SLEEP MODE, ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.

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.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

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.

4 Power down your notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-charged 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 operation by pressing the Suspend button again. This is not required if you attached AC power without

entering standby mode.

6 Restart your media player, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching, then continue

watching your DVD movie.

• 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: HTTP://WWW.COMPUTERS.US.FUJITSU.COM OR BY CALLING 1-877-372-3473.

F 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.

F THIS OCCURS, YOU MAY NEED TO PERFORM A HARD RESET AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, IF ANY,

PRESENTED TO YOU BEFORE THE SYSTEM WILL REBOOT.

OME 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.
