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
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 appear 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 89-94 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.
C A U T I O N
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.
To Connect the Optional Auto/airline Adapter
1. Plug the DC Output cable into the DC Power jack on the right-side panel of your notebook.
2. Plug the auto/airline adapter plug into the cigarette lighter of a car or other vehicle with the ignition key in the On or the Accessories position or into the DC Power jack on an airplane seat.
To Switch From AC Adapter Power To Battery Power
1. Be sure that you have at least one charged battery installed.
2. Remove the AC or auto/airline adapter.

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).
L i f e B o o k 7 00 S e r i e s f r o m Fujitsu
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.

SECTION TWO
USING YOUR LIFEBOOK 700 SERIES FROM FUJITSU
This section describes the indicators,buttons, connections and operating modes of your LifeBook 700 Series and their use.
DISPLAY PANEL
Opening the Display Panel
Lifting the latch releases the top of the display panel from the front of the notebook body. When the display 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 on the right side of the display panel. (Figure 2-2.)You may need to adjust the brightness periodically for different operating environments.
Figure 2-1 Opening the Display Panel
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.

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 notebook about 6° higher than the front when resting on a flat surface. 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 CD-ROM drive or it will not open or operate properly. (Figure 1-10 on page 10)
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.
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.

STATUS INDICATOR PANEL
The Status Indicator panel is located in the recess just above the keyboard. (Figure 2-3 on page 20.) 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.
L i f e B o o k 7 0 0 Se r i e s f r o m Fuj i t su
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.
