software control password security features
that allow you to protect all or portions
of the data stored in the notebook from
unauthorized access.
Hardware Data Security Features
When you are using your notebook’s built-in
hardware control password to gain access to the
notebook the actual password will not appear
on the screen. This is a safety precaution. The
hardware control security parameters are set

message when you start your notebook again.
C A U T I O N
Make sure you memorize your password s ,
both hard w a re and software. If you forg e t ,
you may not be able to use the notebook,
and you will have to contact your serv i c e
p rovider and arrange to have them re s e t
the hard w a re system password. See your
s o f t w a re manuals for what to do if you
f o rget your software security password ( s ) .

panel is released it pops up slightly to make it
easier to open.Lift the display panel backward
until the screen is at a comfortable viewing
angle. (Figure 2-1.)
Adjusting the Display Panel
When you turn on your notebook, you may
want to adjust the brightness level of the screen
for best visibility. To do this, adjust the brightness control slider at the right side of the
display panel. (Figure 2-2.)You may need to
adjust the brightness periodically for different
operating environments.
P O I N T
The higher the brightness level, the more
power the notebook will consume and
the faster your batteries will discharge.
For maximum battery life, make sure that
the brightness is set as low as possible
(control all the way to the bottom).

STATUS INDICATOR PANEL
The Status Indicator panel is located in the
recess just above the keyboard. (Figure 2-3.)
The appropriate indicators become visible as
you use your notebook.
Power Indicator
The Power indicator tells you when the system
is operational. It is on steady when there is
power to your notebook,and blinks when the
system is in Suspend mode. It goes off when
the system has entered Save-to-Disk mode,has
entered the Windows 95 pseudo-off state, or the
power is turned off from the power switch.
P O I N T
When your notebook has been shut
down from Windows 95, it is not the
same as when it is turned off from the
power switch. It is in a pseudo-off state,
with all applications closed, but can be
turned on by pressing the Suspend/
Resume button. It is drawing some
current in the pseudo-off state.
Figure 2-3 Status Indicator Panel
Page 34
S e c t i o n T w o

C A U T I O N
Your notebook must be turned off
with the power switch to prevent all
current draw.
Battery Indicators
The two sets of battery indicators show whether
or not the internal Lithium ion Smart battery
and the external Lithium ion Smart battery are
installed,and indicate the condition of each.
(Figure 2-3.) Battery 1 is the internal Lithium
ion Smart battery and Battery 2 is the external
Lithium ion Smart battery.The battery
indicators are displayed only for a battery
which is installed.
A small arrow icon (Battery Charging indicator) appears to the left of each of the Battery
Level indicators and above the number (Battery
identifier) if that battery is charging. The
Battery Charging indicator flashes if the battery
is too hot or too cold to charge. (Figure 2-3.)
The Battery Charging indicators operate
whether the power switch is Off or On.
The symbols inside the battery outline of the
Battery Level indicator show the operating level
available in that battery. (Figure 2-4.) If there is
no battery charging and the power switch is Off
then the AC Adapter indicator and the Battery
indicators will all be Off.
C A U T I O N
A shorted battery is damaged and must
be replaced. (Figure 2-4.)
AC Adapter Indicator
The AC Adapter indicator tells you whether the
system is operating on an AC or auto/airline
adapter,or is running on batteries alone. The
indicator is On when either of the adapters is
active and Off when power comes from the batteries alone. If a battery is charging, the Power
Adapter indicator is active regardless of the
setting of the power switch.The ACAdapter
indicator is also active in the Windows 95
pseudo-off state, regardless of the battery status.
If there is no battery charging, and the power
switch is Off,then the AC Adapter indicator
and the Battery indicators will all be Off.
C A U T I O N
Turning off the power with the power
switch or using the Suspend/Resume
button when any of the Access indicators
are On may cause loss of data and/or
system errors.
C A U T I O N
Batteries should not be subjected to
shocks, vibration or extreme temperature
as it can cause permanent damage.

the re co m m en d ed shutof fpro cedu re s . )
C A U T I O N
After turning off your notebook, make
sure that it has been Off at least 10
seconds before turning the power switch
to On. If you do not you could cause a
system error. When you turn on your
notebook be sure you have a power
source. This means that at least one
battery is installed and charged, or
that the AC adapter or the auto/airline
adapter is connected and has power.
When the power switch is turned on, your notebook carries out a Power On Self Test (POST) to
check the internal parts and configuration.If a
fault is found a beep will sound and/or an error
message will be displayed. (See Troubleshooting
on pages 140-142.) Depending on the nature of
the problem you may be able to continue by

When used at temperatures that exceed a
low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. High 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.)
■
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.
■
When using a high current device such as a
modem, a LAN card,the CD-ROM drive,or
the hard drive frequently.
Using the AC adapter will conserve your
battery when using a high current device
such as the modem,a LAN card, or the hard
drive frequently.
C A U T I O N
Actual battery life will vary based
on screen brightness, applications,
features, power management settings,
battery condition, and other customer
preferences. Hard drive usage may also
have a significant impact on battery life.
Shorted Batteries
If your Status Indicator panel shows a shorted
battery,check the installation for that battery
by removing and re-installing it. If it still shows
that it is shorted, replace it with a new battery.
C A U T I O N
Do not leave a faulty battery in your
notebook. It might 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.
C A U T I O N

Recharging the Batteries
If you want to check the condition of either the
internal Lithium ion Smart battery or the external Lithium ion Smart battery,check the Battery
Level indicators located on the Status Indicator
panel. These indicators change as the battery
levels change. Battery 1 is the internal Lithium
ion Smart battery and Battery 2 is the external
Lithium ion Smart battery. (Figure 2-3 on page
23.) You can also check the PowerPanel toolbar.
(See pages 43-47.)
The Lithium ion batteries are recharged internally using the AC adapter or auto/airline
adapter.To recharge the batteries:
■
Make sure the battery to be charged is
installed, then connect the AC adapter or
auto/airline adapter.
■
Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator
to the left of the Battery Level indicator
of the battery to be charged is visible on the
Status Indicator panel.
■
The percentage charge is shown inside the
Battery Level icon. (Figure 2-4 on page 25.)
When two Lithium ion batteries are installed,
the charge/discharge rate of the internal and
external Lithium ion batteries are the same,
when they are connected in parallel and are
both charging and/or discharging at the same
time. Since the rates are the same, one may
finish charging or discharging before the
other if they were not at the same charge level
when they were installed and/or the AC or
auto/airline adapter was connected.You can
choose to have the batteries charged in series
instead of in parallel, which will change the
relative charging rates for the two batteries.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion
batteries, which means that you do not need to
discharge them completely before recharging. A
single fully discharged Lithium ion Smart battery will charge in approximately three (3)
hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend
mode.The charging time from fully discharged
for two Lithium ion batteries together, is
approximately 5 hours when your notebook is
Off or in Suspend mode.Of course partially
charged batteries will not take as long to charge.
The charge times will be significantly longer if
your notebook is in use while the batteries are
charging (from approximately nine (9) hours
for one battery to approximately 15 hours for
two batteries with normal operating levels).
C A U T I O N
Using heavy current devices such as LAN
cards or frequent CD-ROM accesses may
prevent charging completely.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low,your notebook beeps about every 15 seconds and the
Battery Level indicator(s) flash. If you do not
respond to the low battery alarm,the batteries
will continue to discharge until they are too low
to operate. When this happens there will be a
multiple beep alarm,the Battery Level indicator
will show dead battery,and your notebook will
go into Suspend mode to try and protect your
data as long as possible. Your power management settings do not affect whether the dead
Page 42
C A U T I O N
There is no guarantee that data will not
be lost once your notebook enters the
Dead Battery Suspend mode.
S e c t i o n T w o

battery alarm level will send your notebook into
Suspend mode,it will not go to Save-to-Disk
mode. (Figure 2-3 on page 23.)
C A U T I O N
When you are in Suspend mode there
must always be at least one power source
active. If you turn off the power with
the power switch, or remove all power
sources, battery, AC adapter, or auto/
airline adapter, while your notebook is in
Suspend mode any data which has not
been saved to the hard drive will be lost.
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 AC adapter,an optional auto/
airline adapter,or a charged battery.Dead
Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status
indicator just like the normal Suspend mode.
Once you have provided power,you will need
to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume
operation. In the Suspend mode, your data can
be maintained for sometime. If a power source
is not provided promptly,the Power indicator
will stop flashing and go out,and you will have
lost the data that was not stored.
C A U T I O N
You may not be able to hear the audio
alarms if the volume control is set too
low or is turned off by either hardware
or software but you will still be able to
see the Battery Level indicator(s) flash.
When the low battery alarm occurs you need to
save all your active data and put your notebook
into Suspend mode until you can provide a new
power source.You should provide this power as
soon as possible. The new power source can be
a charged battery or a power adapter,eitherAC
or auto/airline.

Touchpad Pointing Device
Control Adjustment
The Windows Control Panel provides customizing of your touchpad pointing device from the
mouse icon. There are four (4) aspects of the
touchpad pointing device operation which
you can adjust.
■
Buttons – This lets you set up the buttons for
right or left handed operation and set the
time interval for double clicking.
■
Pointers – This lets you set up the size and
shape of the cursor for different functions.
■
Motion – This lets you set up the relation
of the speed of motion of your finger to the
motion of the cursor and to enable a trailing
tail for the cursor arrow.
■
General – This allows you to choose the type
of mouse being used. It is already set for your
integrated touchpad.You may need to change
it for an external mouse.
You may want to try practicing with different
adjustments until you find a combination that
is comfortable for you.
USING THE KEYBOARD
Your notebook has an integral 86-key keyboard.
(Figure 2-9.) The keys perform all the standard
functions of a 101-key keyboard and also
include Windows 95 keys and other special
function keys. This section describes only those
items specific to your notebook. They are the
numeric keypad,the cursor keys,the function
keys, the function extension key (Fn) and the
Windows 95 keys.
P O I N T
The interval between clicks for double
clicking, and other parameters of pointing
and selecting, can be adjusted with the
selections in the dialog box of the mouse
icon in your Windows Control panel.

Windows 95 Keys
Your notebook has three Windows 95 keys, two
Start keys and an Application key.The Start key
displays the Start button menu. This is the same
as the button on the toolbar which is typically
at the bottom of your Windows 95 desktop.
The Application key has the same function in
Windows 95 as the right mouse button,it
displays the Shortcut menu for whatever item
is selected. See your Windows 95 documentation for additional information. (Figure 2-9.)
VOLUME CONTROL
All system and application functions have multiple volume controls which interact with each
other.There is the hardware volume control on
the right side panel of your notebook. There is
a volume control in the ESS AudioRack, your
operating system Sound Control panel and any
other application with sound.
Each setting source puts an upper limit on the
volume which can be set by the other sources.
For example if the hardware volume control is
turned all the way down, your software volume
controls will not make your sound loud no
matter how high you make the settings. By
the same token,if the ESS AudioRack has the
sound turned off, adjusting the hardware or

The integrated touchpad pointing device
and/or an external mouse are also used
for moving the cursor around the screen.
Function Keys
Your notebook has twelve function keys, F1
through F12. The functions assigned to these
keys differ for each application, and you should
refer to your software documentation to find
out how these keys are used. (Figure 2-9.)
Fn Key
The Fn key provides an extended function for
the notebook and is used in conjunction with
other keys. (Figure 2-9.)

operating system software to format a floppy
disk.Please refer to the operating system manual
for step-by-step instructions.
To prevent data stored on a floppy disk from
being erased,slide the write protect tab on the
floppy disk to open up the small hole. This
makes the disk write protected.When you want
to write data to that disk,slide the write protect
tab the other way to close the small hole.

When there is no floppy disk in the drive,
the eject button is flush with the front of
your LAN Enhancement Unit.
C A U T I O N
If you eject the disk while the Floppy
Disk Access indicator is on, there is a risk
of damaging the data on the disk or the
disk drive.
Preparing a Floppy Disk for Use
Before you can use a new disk, you need to prepare it so your notebook knows where to store
information. This preparation is called formatting or initializing a disk. You need to format
new 3.5" floppy disks, unless you purchase
C A U T I O N
Formatting a previously used floppy disk
is an effective method of clearing a disk
as long as you realize that ALL the
information on the disk will be erased.

C A U T I O N
Do not operate your CD-ROM
drive unless your notebook and LAN
Enhancement Unit combination is
sitting on a flat surface. Using a disk
when the drive is not level may damage
the drive or prevent proper operation.
■
Place the CD into the tray, label side up, with
the hole in the center of the disk snapped
onto the raised circle in the center of the tray.
■
Close the tray.
■
After the disk is loaded,it will take a short
time for your notebook to recognize it.
Care of CD-ROMs
CD-ROMs are precision devices and will function reliably if given reasonable care.
■
Always store your disk in its case when it is
not in use.
■
When removing the disk from its case, press
down on the holder’s center while lifting out
the disk by its edges. (Figure 2-13.)
■
Always handle a disk by the edges and avoid
touching the surface.
■
Avoid storing any disk where there are
temperature extremes.
■
Do not bend disks or set heavy objects
on them.
■
Never write on the label surface with a ball
point pen, pencil or similar device.
■
If a disk is subjected to a sudden change from
cold to warm, condensation may form on the
surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean,
soft, lint free cloth and then let it dry at room
temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or
heater to dry a disk.

HARD DRIVE
The internal hard drive capacity is dependent
on which model you are using. SeeAppendix A
(pages 152-156) for model information.
Formatting the Hard Drive
The hard drive inside your notebook is formatted (initialized) at the factory.You do not need
to format it under normal circumstances.
The factory installed software, including
the operating system, can be re s t o red fro m
the Recovery CD-ROM which came in the
accessories box when you purchased your
notebook. (See Restoring Your Pre - i n s t a l l e d
S o f t w a re from CD-ROM on page 145
for more inform a t i o n . ) Any application
s o f t w a re which you have purchased and
installed will have to be re-installed fro m
the original source. When doing a re c o v e ry
remember that you must allocate space
for the Save-to-Disk function if you have
it enabled. (See Setting Up Your Save-to-
Disk File Allocation on pages 99-100 for
m o re inform a t i o n . )
brightness down; limiting the use of high power
devices; activating an appropriate power savings
profile;and putting your notebook in Suspend
mode when not actually performing an operation.As with all mobile, battery-powered computers,there is a trade-off between performance
and power savings.
Internal power management for your notebook is controlled from settings made in the
BIOS setup utility, PowerPanel by Phoenix
Technologies,and the Windows 95 Control
panel. If no settings have been made in
PowerPanel or the Windows 95 Control
panel,then the BIOS settings will be used.
The PowerPanel and the Windows 95 Control
panel have been pre-set at the factory and will
be active unless you disable them. Complete
descriptions of the BIOS setup utility parameters are found in Section Three of this
guide. Power management parameters are
covered under the Power Savings menu.
(See pages 86-93.)
Some particular power parameters are only
available for setup from one of these places,
others can be changed in any one of them.
POWER MANAGEMENT
Your LifeBook 600 Series has many features for
conserving power.Some power savings features
are automatic and have no user control,such as
those for the internal modem,while others
depend on the user setting the parameters
which best suit their operating needs. Power
Savings features include: turning the display
C A U T I O N
If you re f o rmat the internal hard drive ALL
data including the operating system and
applications software will be erased. Unless
data is copied to floppy disks or other data
storage media it will be permanently lost.
All software will need to be re-installed and
data files re s t o red from your back-up disks.
See the operating system manual for more
i n f o rmation
on backing-up your data fil e s .

on,and hold it in until it is acknowledged
by activation of the selected mode. Which
mode is activated depends on the settings of
the BIOS setup utility Power Savings menu.
The default is Suspend mode. (See pages
88-89 for how to select Save-to-Disk mode.)
If your notebook is suspended,pushing the
Suspend/Resume button will return your notebook to active operation at the point it went into
suspension. The Suspend/Resume button is
located next to the Status Indicator panel above
the keyboard of your notebook. (Figure 2-14.)
You can tell whether or not your system is in
Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator.
(See pa ge 23.) If it is vi s i ble and not fla s h i n g, yo u r
notebook is fully operational. If it is visible and
flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If it
is not vi s i bl e ,the power is Off,the power is in the
Windows 95 pseudo-off state, or your notebook
is in the Save-to-Disk mode. (See pages 47-48.)
When you receive your LifeBook 600 Series it
wi ll be set for the default wh i ch is Su s pend mode .
C A U T I O N
Be sure you know what settings are
active for the Suspend/Resume button
before you use it as misuse can result in
data loss. (See the Power Savings Menu
of the BIOS setup utility, pages 88-89,
for more information.)

P O I N T
If your notebook is active when you
enter the Suspend mode or Save-to-Disk
mode, changes to open files are not lost.
The files are left open and memory is
kept active during Suspend mode or the
memory is transferred to the internal
hard drive during Save-to-Disk mode.
C A U T I O N
If you are running your notebook on
battery power, be aware that the battery
continues to discharge while your notebook is in Suspend mode, though not as
fast as when fully operational. With a
fully charged internal Lithium ion Smart
battery the Suspend mode will maintain
your status for 24 hours or more.
PowerPanel
PowerPanel by Phoenix Technologies provides
Windows 95 desktop access to a comprehensive
combination of power management settings
without entering the BIOS setup utility.
The PowerPanel icon looks like an atom with
its cloud of electrons.This icon will open the
PowerPanel menu.You can view the menu in
icon format along the edge of your desktop by
moving the cursor against the edge where you
have chosen to keep your PowerPanel toolbar
and letting it sit there until the toolbar appears.
(The default position for the toolbar is the left
side of the screen,but you can move it to
whichever edge you like by dragging.)
The power management toolbar has ten power
profile choices and six activation choices.
When you switch to AC powered operation the
PowerPanel toolbar will automatically change to
indicate AC power operation and will show the
AC Power profile as active.
The profiles are groups of system settings
designed to fit power operation to specific user
operating conditions. The activations are shortcut ways to turn on specific power management
features of your notebook. Some of the profiles
can be edited and saved from the PowerPanel
application,some can be edited and saved from
the BIOS setup utility and only viewed from
PowerPanel,and some are factory set and can
only be viewed from either PowerPanel or the
BIOS setup utility.
The profile choices are:

Your notebook’s system memory typically stores
the file(s) on which you are working,the open
application(s) and any other data required to
support the operation(s) in progress.When
you resume operation from Suspend mode, it
returns to the point in the operation where it
left off, before going into the mode. You must
use the Suspend/Resume button to resume
operation, and there must be an adequate
power source available, or your notebook
will not resume.
C A U T I O N
Loss of all power sources, including

Your notebook’s system memory typically stores
the file(s) on which you are working, the open
application(s) and any other data required to
support the operation(s) in progress.When the
Save-to-Disk function is activated your notebook saves the contents of the system memory
to a file on the internal hard drive,and then
automatically shuts off power to your notebook.
This is the same pseudo-off state as the Windows
95 power off. When you resume operation by
pressing the Suspend/Resume button, you return
to the point in the operation where you left off,
before going into Save-to-Disk mode.
P O I N T
If power is lost during Save-to-Disk mode
the data will be retrieved automatically as
soon as power is returned
.
P O I N T
When PC Cards or external devices are
in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return
you to the exact state prior to suspension
because all of the peripheral devices will
be re-initialized when the system restarts.

The main advantage of using the Save-toDisk function is that power is not re q u i re d
to maintain your data. This is part i c u l a r l y
i m p o rtant if you will be leaving your notebook in a suspended state for a pro l o n g e d
period of time. The drawback of using
Save-to-Disk mode is that it lengthens the
power down and power up sequences and
resets peripheral devices.
P O I N T
Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a
significant amount of hard drive capacity
for saving all of system memory, which
reduces your usable disk space. When
you purchase your notebook it will have
space allocated for the memory installed.
If you upgrade the original system by
adding a memory upgrade module
without changing the size of your Saveto-Disk allocation you will get an error
message when you try to activate the
Save-to-Disk mode and it will not work.
Use the PHDISK Utility to increase
the size of the Save-to-Disk file,
SAVE2DSK.BIN. (Refer to Setting Up
Your Save-to-Disk File Allocation on
pages 99-100 for more information.)
If you need help contact your support
representative for recommendations.

Video Timeout
The Video Timeout is one of the power man-
agement parameters which saves power by
turning off the display if there is no keyboard
or pointer activity for the user selected timeout
period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will
cause the display to restart automatically.This
feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume
button. This parameter is enabled and disabled
in the BIOS setup utility.
Hard Disk Timeout
The Hard Disk Timeout is one of the power
management parameters which saves power
by turning off the hard drive if there is no
hard drive access for the timeout period
which has been set in the BIOS setup utility.
(See page 87.) Any attempt to access the hard
drive will cause the hard drive to restart auto-
matically.This feature is independent of the
Suspend/Resume button. This parameter is
enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility.

INFRARED PORT
Infrared IrDA-compatible communication
is a function that allows for wireless data
transfer between your notebook and other
IrDA-compatible devices. Examples of IrDA-
compatible devices are another computer
or a printer. When carrying out this kind of
communication,both devices must be set so
their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstructions.A distance of 6"
to 36" between the device ports is ideal. Dirt
or scratches on the lens of your notebook or
the other device will degrade performance.
This is especially true for Fast IrDA applica-
tions such as a transfer to an Ethernet.
LapLink software can be used for Infrared
file transfers. See your online help for
more information.
The following conditions may interfere with
infrared communications:
■
When the infrared communication ports
are not directly facing each other,or some
obstacle is between them.
■
When the infrared communication ports are
too far apart.
■
When a television or radio remote control
unit, or a wireless headphone is being
used nearby.
■
When a strong light such as direct sunlight,
fluorescent light, or incandescent light shines
on the port.
