a label that contains the FCC Registration Number
and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment among other information. If requested,
the user must provide their telephone company with
the following information:

1. The telephone number to which the notebook

SECTION TWO

STARTING YOUR LIFEBOOK
E SERIES FROM FUJITSU

This section describes the processes of star ting
your LifeBook for the first time,initial software
setup and registration.

POWER SOURCES

Your notebook has four possible power sources:
the primary Lithium ion battery ; an optional
dual Lithium ion battery configuration; the AC
adapter; or an optional auto/airline adapter.

Connecting the Power Adapters

The AC adapter or an optional auto/airline
adapter provides power for operating your
notebook and charging the batteries.

(Figure 2-1.)

To Connect the AC Adapter

1. Plug the DC Output cable of the AC
adapter into the DC Power jack on the
right-side panel of your notebook.

2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC
electrical outlet.

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.

CAUTION

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.

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 2-2.)

Adjusting the Display Panel

Before you turn on your notebook,you may
want to adjust the brightness level of the screen.
Start with the brightness control slider (located
directly under the display screen) in the middle
position. (Figure 2-3.)

You may need to adjust the brightness le vels
after you start your notebook and periodically
for different operating environments.

POINT

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 2-2 Opening the Display Panel

Figure 2-3 Adjusting the Display

CAUTION

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.

CAUTION

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 170-172) Depend­ing on the nature of the problem you may be
able to continue by starting the operating
system or by entering the BIOS setup utility
and revising the settings.

After satisfactory completion of the Power On
Self Test (POST) your notebook will load your
operating system.(See Boot Menu on pages 115-
116 to see which kind of disk w ill be the source.)

(See the section Power Off, pages 24-25, for the
recommended shutoff procedures.)

CAUTION

The main Lithium ion battery is not
charged when you purchase your note­book. Initially you will need to connect
the AC adapter to use it. If you purchase
an optional second Lithium ion battery, it
will not be charged when you get it, you
will need to charge it prior to use.
