The primary Lithium ion battery is not charged when you purchase your notebook. Initially you will need to connect the AC adapter or the auto/airline adapter to use it. If you purchase a second Lithium ion battery it will not be charged when you get it. You will need to charge it prior to use. It can take up to three (3) hours to charge a single battery if your notebook is turned off or is in Suspend mode. If your notebook is in use it can take up

to nine (9) hours or more to charge a single battery.

DATA SECURITY

Your LifeBook 700 Series has a built-in hardware control password security feature that allows you to protect the data stored in the notebook from unauthorized access. Your operating system and some applications have

L i f e B o o k 7 0 0 S e r i e s f r o m F u j i t s u

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 built-in hardware control password to gain access to the notebook the actual password will not ap pear on the screen. This is a safety precaution. The hardware control security parameters are set from the BIOS setup utility. (See Security Menu on pages 77-80 for more information on setting and clearing passwords and enabling and disabling built-in security features.)

Software Data Security Features

The operating system and some applications have security features that are independent of the built-in hardware protection features that are controlled from the BIOS. See your software documentation for more information about these features.

11

S e c t i o n O n e

C A U T I O N

Make sure you memorize your passwords, both hardware and software.

If you forget, you may not be able to use the notebook, and you will have to contact your service provider and arrange to have them reset the hardware system password. See your software documentation for what to do if you forget your software security password(s).

C A U T I O N

Software security feature passwords may not be the same as the hardware security passwords. Be sure you know which features are controlled from software and which from hardware or you may lock yourself out of your own data or lock up your hardware and not be able to operate your notebook.

STARTING YOUR NOTEBOOK FOR THE FIRST TIME

Booting the System

The first time that you turn on your notebook you will need to attach your AC adapter because the battery is not charged when you get your machine. We strongly recommend that you not attach any other external devices and do not put any CD or floppy disk in your drives until you have gone through the initial p ower on sequence.

When you turn on your notebook for the first time it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will read the hard drive for the operating system software, flash the notebook configuration information on the screen, and then the Windows 95 Setup Wizard Screen will appear. (See Power On on pages 2324 for additional help.) You will then be stepped through the condition of use process. You must complete this initial process before you will be able to use your notebook. (If you wish to access the BIOS setup utility before you go through the condition of use process you must

press the F2 key while the Fujitsu logo is still visible. If you press the Esc key while the Fujitsu logo is still present you will get a dialog box which will allow you to select which drive is to be used for finding the operating system.) If you turn off the power without using the o n screen Cancel button you will get an error message when you start your notebook again.

Conditions of Use Process

The first time you start your notebook you must confirm your acceptance of the copyright limitations for your pre-installed software. After you complete the Condition of Use process these screens will not appear again. There are 6 screens to read carefully and respond to.

You cannot use your notebook until this Condition of Use process is completed. The bottom of each screen has a <Back button, a Next> Button and a Cancel button which are activated by the integrated ErgoTrac cursor control and button click. The <Back button will return you to the previous screen. The Next> button activates any choices or

12

information you have entered and takes you on to the next screen. The Cancel button allows you to stop the setup process.

If you stop the process your notebook will start up at the b eginning of the Windows 95 Setup Wizard.

The screens you will be required to respond to are described with the required action.

User Information

Fill in your name and your company name as you want the software licensed. To step from the name blank to the company blank press the Tab key. When the information has been entered click on the Next> button. You will not be allowed to continue until you makean entry.

This is your product code and the number you should enter on the Certificate of Authenticity screen. When you have entered the number exactly as shown then click on the Next> button.

Time Zone

When your notebook has completely identified all of the installed hardware it will display a dialog box for entering which time zone you wish to set the clock to.

Windows Messaging

Once you have selected a time zone you will see a screen announcing that Windows messaging is being set up.

Printer Setup

When the messaging setup is complete a dialog box will appear for selecting which printer is to be attached to your notebook. You do not have to select a printer at this time. If you do not wish to select a printer, click on the Cancel button. If you do wish to select a printer click on the Next button and answer the questions.

ADJUSTING THE KEYBOARD ANGLE

On the bottom of your notebook,near the back,are a pair of feet which flip down and hold the back of the keyboard about 6° higher than the front when resting on a flat surfa ce. They are designed to make it more comfortable to use the keyboard with your notebook. The feet must be folded flat against the bottom of the notebook when opening or using the CDROM drive or it will not open or operate properly. (Figure 1-10 on page 9)

C A U T I O N

Do not operate your CD-ROM drive or attempt to open the tray unless your notebook is sitting on a flat surface and the adjustment feet are folded against the bottom of the notebook. Using a CD-ROM drive when it is not level may damage the drive or prevent proper operation.

U s i n g Y o u r L i f e B o o k 7 0 0 S e r i e s

C A U T I O N

When you are not using the adjustment feet be sure that they are folded flat against the bottom of the notebook. They could be broken off or injure someone if not used properly.

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 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.

C A U T I O N

Your notebook’s power switch must be turned off to prevent all current draw.

AC Adapter Indicator

The AC Adapter indicator tells you whether the system is operating on an AC or auto/airline adapter, or 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 AC Adapter 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.

Battery Indicators

The two sets of battery indicators show whether or not the primary Lithium ion battery and/or the optional second Lithium ion battery are installed,and indicate the condition of each. (Figure 2-3.) Battery 1 is the Lithium ion bat - tery which is installed in Multi-function Bay 1 and Battery 2 is the Lithium ion battery which is installed in Multi-function Bay 2. The battery indicators are displayed only for a battery which is installed.
