The charging status ( ) on the Status Indicator LCD turns on.

2. When the indicator turns off after the battery is completely charged, disconnect the AC adapter from the notebbok.

Before using the supplied battery pack for the very first time after purchase, remember to charge it fully. If a charged battery has not been recharged for more than a month, charge it fully before using it.

When the battery is fully charged, the charging status indicator turns off and the

indicator stops blinking ( ) and

lights up ( ).

When the battery is 90% or more charged, it cannot be recharged even if the AC adapter is connected. The battery can be recharged when its power level (i.e. remaining battery life) is 89% or less.

When a notebook is turned off, all indicators on the status LCD goes off immediately if the battery is completely charged.

The chargeability of the battery degrades when it is used in an extremely hot or cold place.

When the battery is very hot, for example, immediately after long usage of the notebook, the battery protection feature may be activated to prevent the battery from being recharged. When the temperature decreases, the notebook automatically begins to charge the battery.

When an optional modular bay battery is installed, it is charged along with the internal standard battery.

USING FINGERPRINT AUTHENTICATION*

With fingerprint authentication, you can omit entering a user name and a password by just sliding your finger onto the fingerprint sensor at the time of logging in homepages or logging on Windows. This chapter describes how to use fingerprint authentication.

* NOTE:

This is only applicable for LifeBook with Fingerprint Sensor.

To use fingerprint authentication, the user’s fingerprints must be registered.

Characteristics of fingerprint authentication

 Fingerprint authentication can be

used in the following case.

• Logging on to Windows

When the user account of Windows is password-protected, only persons who know that password can log on to Windows using that account. However, you have to enter the password each time when you log on to Windows. With use of fingerprint authentication, you can log on to Windows by only authenticating fingerprints that have previously been registered, thus omitting entering a password.

• Recovery from the power-saving status

If the computer is password-protected for the recovery from power-saving status, you have to enter a password each time when your computer is recovered from the power-saving status. With use of fingerprint authentication, you can recover from the power-saving status by authenticating fingerprints that have previously been registered, thus omitting entering a password.

You can log on to Windows or recover from the power-saving status by authenticating the fingerprints

It is unnecessary to input a password.

• Canceling password-protected screen saver

You can lock your computer if the screen saver is password-protected. However, you have to cancel this lock when canceling the screen saver. With use of fingerprint authentication, just authenticating fingerprints that have previously been registered enables this lock to be canceled, thus omitting entering a password.

• Logging into the homepage that requires an ID (user name) and a password

To log into the homepage of which security is set up, you may have to enter log-in information such as an ID (user name) and a password. With fingerprint authentication, you can log into these homepages by just authenticating fingerprints if log-in information is previously memorized for specific homepages. Status for entering log-in information differs depending on homepages; direct entering log-in information into homepages, and indication of screens specific to entering. In either case, log-in using fingerprint authentication can be performed.
