Section Three

BATTERIES

The Lithium ion battery is rechargeable with an operating time of up to 2.5 hours (C352) or 2 hours (C360) depending on active power management features and user activity levels. If the internal Lithium ion Battery goes dead, you must install the AC adapter or shut down and install a charged battery. (See page 107 for

replacing the battery.)

The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter than the reference value 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. 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.)

CAUTION

Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition, and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive, hard drive, and modem 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.

■

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 a modem, a LAN card, the CD-ROM drive, or the hard drive frequently.

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

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).

Using Your LifeBook C Series

LifeBook C Series from Fujitsu

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.

CAUTION

A shorted battery is damaged and must be replaced so that it does not damage anything else.

The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or auto/airline adapter. To recharge a battery:

■

Make sure the battery to be charged is installed in the battery bay of your notebook and the notebook is connected to a power source.

■

Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator to the left of the Battery Level indicator is visible on the Status Indicator panel.

■

Make sure the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon. (Figure 3-4 on page 23.)

Recharging the Battery

If you want to check the condition of the Lithium ion battery check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. This indicator changes as the battery level changes.

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 battery will charge in approximately three (3) hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend mode. The charging time will be signiﬁcantly longer if your notebook is in use when the battery is charging, (approximately nine (9) hours.)

CAUTION

Using heavy current devices such as LAN cards or frequent CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely.

CAUTION

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 button, 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.

Section Three

Low Battery State

When the battery is running low, your notebook beeps about every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator ﬂashes. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm, the battery will continue to discharge until it is 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 effect what happens at the dead battery alarm level. Your notebook will go to Suspend mode. (Figure 3-4 on page 23.)

CAUTION

There is no guarantee that data will not be lost once your notebook enters the Dead Battery Suspend mode.

CAUTION

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 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, either AC or auto/airline.

Critical Low 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/0Resume 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.

Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery. However, this charges the battery more slowly. If you want to charge the battery quickly, put your notebook into Suspend Mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Off on pages 20-21 for

shutdown procedures.)

Once your notebook goes into Critical Low 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.

control settings have no effect. By the same token, if the operating system has the sound turned off, adjusting the hardware or other application software volume settings will not produce sound. One easy operating method is to use the hardware and operating system volume controls to set an upper limit on sound level and then make ﬁne adjustments with other application software.

FLOPPY DISK DRIVE

The ﬂoppy disk drive is a 3.5" drive which can read and write on 1.44MB and 720KB ﬂoppy disks. Floppy disk format is controlled from your operating system. (See your software documentation for more information.)

Loading a Floppy Disk

Insert a ﬂoppy disk into the ﬂoppy disk drive –

shutter side ﬁrst and label up – until the Eject

button pops out. (Figure 3-9.)

POINT

When there is no ﬂoppy disk in the drive, the Eject button is ﬂush with the right-side of your notebook.

Section Three

Ejecting a Floppy Disk

To eject a disk, check that the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator is Off, (see pages 22

and 25) and press the Eject button. (Figure 3-9.)

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator is On, there is a risk of damaging the disk drive or the data on the disk.

Preparing a Floppy Disk for Use

Before you can use a new ﬂoppy 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 preformatted disks. Use your notebook’s operating system software to format a ﬂoppy disk. Please refer to the operating system manual for step-by-step instructions.

To prevent accidental erasure of data stored on a ﬂoppy disk, 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. (See Figure 3-10.)

Using Your LifeBook C Series

LifeBook C Series from Fujitsu

CAUTION

The internal modems on all Fujitsu notebooks from Fujitsu PC Corporation are not qualiﬁed for use with telephone systems outside the United States and Canada and may not operate in other countries.

CAUTION

If you reformat the internal hard drive ALL data including the operating system, applications software and data will be erased. Unless data is copied to ﬂoppy disks or other data storage media it will be permanently lost. All software will be need to be re-installed and data ﬁles restored from your back-up disks. See the operating system manual for more information on backing-up your data ﬁles. The factory installed software, including the operating system, can be restored from the Recovery CD-ROM which came in the accessories box when you purchased your notebook. (See Recovery CD-ROM on page 142 for more information.) Any application software which you have purchased and installed will have to be reinstalled from the original source. When doing a recovery 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 102-103 for more information.)

CAUTION

The internal modem is not intended for use with Digital PBX systems. Do not connect the internal modem to a digital PBX as it may cause serious damage to the internal modem or your entire notebook. Consult your PBX manufacturer’s documentation for details. Some hotels have digital PBX systems. Be sure to ﬁnd out BEFORE you connect your modem.

INTERNAL MODEM

Your internal modem is a 56K fax/data/voice modem with v.90 support that is controlled by Windows 98, LapLink, or other software.

POWER MANAGEMENT

Your LifeBook C 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 parameters you set to best suit your operating conditions. Other power saving features turn the display brightness down, limit the use of high power devices, activate an appropriate power savings proﬁle, and put 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 may be controlled from settings made in the BIOS setup utility, or from settings made in your operating system.

Using the Suspend/Resume Features

When your notebook is active, the Power button, (Figure 1-3 on page 5), can be used to manually put your notebook into Suspend mode. The Power button is located next to the Status

Section Three

Indicator panel above the keyboard of your notebook. (Figure 3-13.) Push the Power button, when your notebook is active but no Access indicators are on and release the button (immediately). You will hear two short beeps and then your system will enter Suspend mode.

If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Power button will return your notebook to active operation at the point where it went into suspension. You can tell whether or not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator. (See page 22.) If it is visible and not ﬂashing, your notebook is fully operational. If it is visible and ﬂashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If it is not visible, the power is Off or your notebook is in Save-toDisk mode. (See page 40.) When you receive your LifeBook C Series it will be set to the default in BIOS, which is Suspend mode.

POINT

You can also power Off your notebook by pressing the power button down for

POINT

Disabling the Suspend/Resume function prevents it from being used to put your notebook in Standby or Save-to-Disk mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled. (See the Power

four seconds when you are in the suspend mode. If you are not in suspend mode, you will need to press the power button once quickly to enter suspend mode, in order to use this method.

Three

Using Your LifeBook C Series

LifeBook C Series from Fujitsu

CAUTION

The Standby or Save-to-Disk mode should not be used with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documentation for more information.

POINT

If your notebook is active when you enter the Standby or Save-to-Disk mode, changes to open ﬁles are not lost. The ﬁles are left open and memory is kept active during Standby mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Save-to-Disk mode.

CAUTION

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 battery the suspend mode will maintain your status for 24 hours or more.

■

Pressing the Power button when your system is in the On state.

■

Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.

■

Timing out from lack of activity.

■

Battery level reaching the Dead Battery Warning condition.

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 Standby mode, it returns to the point in the operation where it left off. You must use the Power button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.

Standby Mode

Standby mode, in Windows 98, saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts while turning off the CPU, the display, the hard drive and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory, recognize the Power button and restart. Your notebook can be put in Suspend mode by:

Section Three

Using the Power Button to Perform Save-to-Disk

When your notebook is active, the Power button, (Figure 3-13.), can be used to manually put your notebook into Save-To-Disk mode. However, you must ﬁrst enable Save-to-Disk mode by enabling Save-to-Disk mode in the BIOS Setup utility Power menu. (See pages 85-

89 for more information on the Power menu of the BIOS Setup utility.)

Push the Power button, when your notebook is active but no Access indicators are on and release the button (immediately). You will hear two short beeps and then your system will ﬂash the Save-to-Disk screen, and enter Save-to-Disk mode.

CAUTION

Loss of all power sources, including batteries, while in the Standby mode will cause lost data and inability to return to operation with the Power button.

POINT

If power is lost during Save-to-Disk mode the data will be retrieved automatically as soon as power is returned.

If your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode, pushing the Power button will return your notebook to active operation at the point where it went into Save-to-Disk mode. You can tell whether or not your system is in Save-to-Disk mode by looking at the Power indicator. (See page 22.) If it is visible and not ﬂashing, your notebook is fully operational. If it is visible and ﬂashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If it is not visible, the power is Off or your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode.

POINT

When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.

POINT

The main advantage of using the Save-to-Disk function is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leaving your notebook in a suspended state for a prolonged 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.

Three

Using Your LifeBook C Series

LifeBook C Series from Fujitsu

POINT

Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a signiﬁcant amount of hard drive capacity for saving all system memory, which reduces your usable disk space. When you purchase your notebook it will have space allocated for the memory installed. If you increase the system memory with a memory Upgrade module, you will need to change the size of your Save-toDisk allocation. 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 102-103 for more information.)

If you need help contact your support representative for recommendations.

Save-to-Disk Mode

The Save-to-Disk function saves the contents of the notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume function. Your notebook is setup to perform this function in one way and can be conﬁgured through the system BIOS to do it in other ways.

Default Method for using Save-to Disk Mode:

■

Press the Fn key together with the Suspend/Resume button when activating the Suspend mode. The Save-to-Disk pop-up will appear on your screen, simply wait until it has ﬁnished and your notebook will go into Save-to-Disk mode.

CAUTION

Be sure you know which settings are active for the Power Button before you use it; misuse can result in data loss. (See

the Power Menu of the BIOS setup utility, pages 85-92, for more information.)

Customer conﬁgured BIOS methods:

■

Press the Power Button until acknowledged with Save-to-Disk mode enabled from the Power menu of the BIOS setup utility.

■

Select Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu with Save-to-Disk enabled by the BIOS Setup Utility.

■

Time out from lack of activity with Save-ToDisk mode enabled from the Power Savings menu of the BIOS setup utility.

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. When you resume operation by pressing the Power button, you return to the point in the operation where you left off, before going into Save-to-Disk mode.

POINT

Save-to-Disk mode will not operate when Resume On Modem Ring has been selected in the BIOS.

Section Three

Video Timeout

The Video Timeout is one of the power management 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 Power button. This parameter is enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility. (See pages 85-86.)

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 pages

85-86.) Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause the hard drive to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/ Resume button. This parameter is enabled

and disabled in the BIOS setup utility.

Idle Mode

Idle mode is one of the power management parameters. When Idle mode is enabled the CPU is put into low-speed operation when there is no activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation, video display change, modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your notebook for 16 seconds. Any activity will cause the normal operation to restart| automatically. This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume modes. This parameter is enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility. (See pages 85-86.)

Standby Mode

Standby mode is one of the power management parameters. When Standby mode is activated, your notebook puts the CPU in low-speed operation, shuts off the display and turns off the hard drive when there is no activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation, video display change, modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your notebook for the user selected time-out period. (See page 80.) Any activity will cause your notebook to return to normal operation automatically. This feature is independent of the Power button. This parameter is enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility.

POINT

Windows 98 has its own integrated power management features that include the functionality of those listed above. (Idle and Standby Mode)

POINT

By holding down the Fn key while pressing the Power Button, it is possible to enter Save-to-Disk mode without enabling it in the BIOS Setup utility.
