- Starting Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook
DO NOT CARRY THE LIFEBOOK AROUND WITH POWER ON OR SUBJECT IT TO VIBRATION OR SHOCKS; DOING SO COULD DAMAGE THE LIFEBOOK.
When you Power On your LIFEBOOK, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and
configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LIFEBOOK will emit an audio warning and/or an error
message will be displayed. 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
POST, your LIFEBOOK will load your operating system.
N
EVER TURN OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN
YOU TURN YOUR LIFEBOOK ON THE NEXT TIME.
Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your Ultrabook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Ultrabook’s BIOS.
When your Ultrabook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start
up your Ultrabook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your Ultrabook, it goes
through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until the operating system is found. During booting, your
Ultrabook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is
completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating
system’s opening screen.
The boot sequence is executed when:
• You turn on the power to your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook.
• You restart your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook from [Settings]->[Power] menu.
• The software initiates a system restart; for example, when you install a new application.

Power Management
Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are
automatic and need no user intervention. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your
operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your LIFEBOOK
Ultrabook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system.
Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent
your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your
LIFEBOOK into Sleep mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices.
As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.
Power and Suspend/Resume Button
When your LIFEBOOK is active, the Power and Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put it into Sleep
mode. Push the Power and Suspend/Resume button when your LIFEBOOK is active, but not actively accessing
anything, and immediately release the button. Your system will enter Sleep mode.
If your LIFEBOOK is suspended, pushing the Power and Suspend/Resume button will return your system to active
operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Sleep mode by looking at the Power indicator which is part
of the Suspend/Resume button. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook is fully
operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your LIFEBOOK is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible
at all, the power is off or your LIFEBOOK is in Hibernate Hibernation mode.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode saves your Ultrabook’s system memory contents during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to
critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components
except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting.
Your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook can be put in Sleep mode by:
• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.
• Clicking the power icon on the lock menu.
• Selecting Sleep from the [Settings]->[Power] menu.
• Timing out from lack of activity.
43
- Power Management
• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.
Your Ultrabook’s system memory typically stores the files on which you are working, open application information,
and any other data required to support the operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep mode,
your Ultrabook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power and Suspend/Resume button to
resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your Ultrabook will not resume.
• IF YOU ARE POWERING YOUR LIFEBOOK ON BATTERY POWER, BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DISCHARGE WHILE YOUR SYSTEM IS
IN SLEEP MODE, THOUGH NOT AS FAST AS WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL.
• DISABLING THE SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK ULTRABOOK IN SLEEP OR HIBERNATE MODE.
T
HE RESUME FUNCTION OF THE BUTTON CANNOT BE DISABLED.
• WHEN EXTERNAL DEVICES ARE IN USE, HIBERNATE MODE CANNOT RETURN TO THE EXACT STATE PRIOR TO SUSPENSION BECAUSE ALL OF THE
PERIPHERAL DEVICES WILL BE RE-INITIALIZED WHEN THE SYSTEM RE-STARTS.
• IF YOUR LIFEBOOK IS ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE, CHANGES TO OPEN FILES ARE NOT LOST. THE
FILES ARE LEFT OPEN AND MEMORY IS KEPT ACTIVE DURING SLEEP MODE, OR THE MEMORY IS TRANSFERRED TO THE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE DURING
H
IBERNATION MODE.
• THE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING THE HIBERNATION FUNCTION IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR DATA. THIS IS PARTICULARLY
IMPORTANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR LIFEBOOK IN A SUSPENDED STATE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING
H
IBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THE POWER DOWN AND POWER UP SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.
• YOUR SYSTEM IS SET TO USE A POWER SAVER SCHEME WHEN RUNNING ON BATTERY POWER. IF YOU CHANGE THE POWER SCHEME TO A DIFFERENT
PROFILE, YOUR BATTERY LIFE MAY VARY.
Faster Startup
Certain configurations of the LIFEBOOK U772 Ultrabook use a combination of Intel® Rapid Start Technology and
Condusiv™ ExpressCache® to allow your system to wake quickly and return to the files and applications you use the
most. This faster wakeup results in saving you time.
This technology also saves you power. When the system is running and you press the power button, the system enters
Sleep Mode (S3) during which RAM is still powered. After a period of time (which is set in the Intel Rapid Start
Technology Manager), your system automatically goes into Hibernation Mode (S4) at which point all of your main
memory is stored to disk and the system is powered off, thereby saving power. When the button is pressed again to
wake the system, it wakes directly from S4, which requires less time than resuming from the traditional Hibernation
Mode.
44
- Power Management
Hibernation Feature
he Hibernation feature saves the contents of your Ultrabook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the
Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.
Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature
To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:
1 From the Modern Start screen, press [Windows]+[X]. Select Control Panel, then select Power Options.
2 Select “Choose what the power button does” or “Choose what closing the lid does”, then make your selections (Do
Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).
Windows Power Management
The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the
display and hard disks whether you are running the LIFEBOOK on battery power or one of the adapters.
Restarting the System
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.
1 From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows]+C) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the
screen), then click [Settings]-> [Power].
2 Select Restart from the list.
TURNING OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK ULTRABOOK WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR SYSTEM WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE SYSTEM BEING
SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU START THE NEXT TIME.
Power Off
Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing
a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your LIFEBOOK shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down
procedure.
45
- Power Management
• ALWAYS POWER OFF THE COMPUTER BEFORE TRANSPORTING AND/OR PACKAGING IT. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM, WAIT UNTIL THE
STATUS LED PANEL INDICATES POWER OFF CONDITION (I.E., NO LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED).
• IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE UNIT MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY GO TO POWER OFF OR HIBERNATE MODE WHEN YOU CLOSE THE LID. THIS SITUATION
MAY OCCUR DUE TO PRE-OS BOOT PASSWORD SECURITY SETTINGS OR SOME OTHER APPLICATION RUNNING ON THE COMPUTER.
• ATTEMPTING TO TRANSPORT THE COMPUTER WHILE POWER IS ON MAY DAMAGE THE LIFEBOOK DUE TO SHOCK OR OVERHEATING SINCE THE AIR
VENTS MAY BE BLOCKED OR RESTRICTED.
E SURE TO CLOSE ALL FILES, EXIT ALL APPLICATIONS, AND SHUT DOWN YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE POWER. IF FILES ARE
B
OPEN WHEN YOU TURN THE POWER OFF, YOU WILL LOSE ANY CHANGES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED, AND MAY CAUSE DISK ERRORS.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your Ultrabook to complete its operations and turn
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:
From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows]+C) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the
screen), then click [Settings]->[Power]. Select Shut down from the list.
If you are going to store your Ultrabook for a month or more see the Care and Maintenance Section.
System Reset
Ordinarily, you power down your system by clicking on the small arrow at the bottom right of the Windows Start menu
then clicking Shut Down. You can also use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to power down the system by holding it
down for approximately five seconds. This can be useful if the system is “hung up”, but it shouldn’t be used as the normal
means of shutdown, however.
If you cannot power down your systems by either of these methods, you can use the RESET button on the bottom of your
Ultrabook (See Figure 5 for location). This method should only be used as a last resort when traditional methods do not
work. To shut down your system with the RESET button, first disconnect any AC adapter that may be connected. Insert
a small tool such as the tip of a paper clip into the opening and press the button for a couple of seconds. If you power
down your system with the RESET button, be sure to plug in an AC adapter before turning it back on.

ENERGY STAR® Compliance
Your Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR® qualified mobile PC. By choosing a computer with the latest
energy-saving technology, you’re helping to preserve our environment for future generations.
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of
Energy, Natural Resources Canada, and other governments around the world helping us save money
while protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. With energy costs and global
warming top-of-mind for consumers, Fujitsu is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy
and improve the quality of our environment.
Sleep Mode:
You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes of user inactivity, and the
computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. When going into Sleep mode, the computer also
reduces the speed of any active Ethernet network links. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the
Suspend/Resume Button.
Energy saving benefits:
Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standard equipment – saving half in
utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the
average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every
time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more
greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more
we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.

About the Lithium-Polymer Battery
Your LIFEBOOK has an internal Lithium-Polymer battery that provides power for operating your system when no
external power source is available. The rechargeable battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed
to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals, or other hazards. For information on maximizing your battery
life, refer to the section entitled “Power Management” on page 43.
The Lithium-Polymer battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
• Your system is set to use Power Saver power scheme when running on battery power. If you change the power
scheme to a different profile, your battery life may vary.
• When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C (40°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme 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. See
“Power Indicator” on page 20.
THE INTERNAL LITHIUM-POLYMER BATTERY CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED FUJITSU TECHNICIAN. ANY ATTEMPT BY THE END-USER TO
ACCESS AND REPLACE THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM. REMOVAL OF THE COMPONENT COVER BY THE END-USER WILL VOID THE
SYSTEM WARRANTY. FOR ASSISTANCE, GO TO http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com/www/content/support/contact/index.php
ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER
CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE OR HARD DRIVE 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 CONTACT YOUR FUJITSU SUPPORT
REPRESENTATIVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED.
Recharging the Battery
If you want to know the condition of the Lithium-Polymer battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the
Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium-Polymer battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the
battery, simply connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.
48
- About the Lithium-Polymer Battery
MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR AND THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS DISPLAYED BY THE BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR ON THE
S
TATUS INDICATOR PANEL.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium-Polymer battery, therefore you do not need to discharge the battery
completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your LIFEBOOK is in use while the
battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your LIFEBOOK into Standby mode, or turn it
off while the adapter is charging the battery.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond to the low
battery message, the battery will continue to discharge until too low to operate. When this happens, your LIFEBOOK
will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will not be lost once the LIFEBOOK reaches this point.
Note that you can change the state in which the battery goes into Sleep mode in the Control Panel “Power” properties.
• ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUT YOUR LIFEBOOK INTO STANDBY
MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. ATTACH AN AC POWER ADAPTER OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
• WHEN YOU ARE IN STANDBY MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF YOU REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE
YOUR LIFEBOOK ULTRABOOK IS IN STANDBY MODE, ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your LIFEBOOK goes
into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power from an
AC adapter. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided
promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored.
Once you provide power, you can continue to use your LIFEBOOK Ultrabook while the adapter is charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel displays the battery status via the Battery Status indicator to show the charge level
available in that battery. If the display is flashing red, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced by
Fujitsu technicians.

It is very important that you create DVD copies of your Factory Image and Bootable Disc (along with other
applicable media such as application discs) before beginning to use your system. To do so, follow the
instructions in the “Saving Your Factory Image” and “Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs”
sections of this chapter.
Saving and Recovering Your Factory and System Images
Along with instructions on saving your Factory Image, this document outlines several other important procedures,
such as making a system image, restoring your Factory Image and system images, managing your images, and
restoring the partitions on a hard drive.
• IN ORDER TO INSTALL APPLICATIONS, MAKE COPIES OF FACTORY AND SYSTEM IMAGES, AND BURN APPLICATION MEDIA AND BOOTABLE DISCS YOU
MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL OR EXTERNALLY CONNECTED WRITABLE DVD DRIVE.
• IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COPY YOUR FACTORY IMAGE TO REMOVABLE MEDIA (E.G., DVD DISCS). FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT
IN AN INABILITY TO RESTORE THE IMAGE AT A FUTURE DATE.
• WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE DVD-R OR DVD+R DISCS FOR YOUR BACKUP, BUT SUPPORTED MEDIA* FOR IMAGE BACKUPS INCLUDE:
FOR FACTORY IMAGE, APPLICATION DATA, AND BOOTABLE DISC: DVD-R/+R.
FOR USER-CREATED BACKUP IMAGE: DVD-R/+R, DVD-RW/+RW, DVD-DL.
* DEPENDING UPON YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE AND MEDIA FORMAT USED, SOME MEDIA TYPES MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE FOR CREATING IMAGE BACKUPS.
DUE TO CERTAIN LICENSING REQUIREMENTS, SOME THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED SEPARATELY USING THE APPLICATION
MEDIA BUNDLED WITH YOUR SYSTEM.
Saving your Factory Image
When you purchased your new system, a copy of the pre-installed Factory Image was loaded into a hidden partition
on your hard disk drive. Having a copy of the original Factory Image available to you means that in the event of system
failure, you will be able to restore it to its original state.
69
- Restoring Your System Image and Software (Windows 7)
To make a copy of the Factory Image to DVD discs, you will need several blank discs (DVD-R or DVD+R discs are
recommended) to create the copy. After creating the copy, be sure to label the discs and keep them in a safe place to
ensure they do not get damaged.
Creating Backup Images of Factory Image and Discs
• SOME CONFIGURATIONS OF CERTAIN STYLISTIC MODELS DO NOT HAVE APPLICATIONS LOADED ON THE HARD DRIVE; RATHER, THEY ARE AVAILABLE
AT THE FUJITSU SUPPORT SITE FOR DOWNLOAD. PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WHEN READING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES.
• ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.
Using the [Manage/Change] button, you can create backup images of the Factory Image, Application Disc(s), or
Bootable Disc.
1 Launch My Recovery from desktop icon
2 Select [Manage/Create]-> [Manage Backup Images].
The Backup Images menu displays a list from which you can choose which type of disc you want to burn: Bootable
Disc, Application Discs, or Recovery Disc.

depending upon its size.)
5 The message “Recovery Disc #1 will be created. Enter your comments and the number of media on the DVD”. Click
[YES] to burn the Factory Image.
6 While the copy is being made, a “Writing to the media screen displays a progress bar. When the copy is complete,
a dialog will appear informing you of the successful completion of the backup.
7 Repeat the process for the remaining images on disc (Bootable Disc and Application Discs). The number of images
available may vary depending on your system model; some models do not have the applications loaded on the
hard drive.

Recovering Your Factory Image
My Recovery
In the event you need to restore your original Factory Image, perform the following steps. Note that there may be
some third-party applications that need to be installed from the application media bundled with your system.
ALL USER-CREATED DATA WILL BE DELETED FROM YOUR SYSTEM WHEN THE FACTORY IMAGE IS RESTORED.
In order to recover your Factory Image, perform the steps outlined in “Running Recovery and Utility from hard disk”.
Backing Up a System Image
Optional Step: Launch the Fujitsu Bonus Apps utility from your desktop, and select the components you wish to
install.
User-Configured System Backups: On your desktop, there is a [MyRecovery] icon that allows you to
make backups of your current system image either to another location on your hard drive or on
removable media. A system image is the configuration of your C: drive at a particular point of time. You
may want to make system image backups occasionally in order to have points to which you can return
without having to go all the way back to the Factory Image.
By default, system images are saved in the MyRecovery folder (either on D:\ or external hard drive, depending on your
hardware type).
1 Click the [MyRecovery] icon on your desktop. The My Recovery screen will appear (See Figure 33). Note that the
2 Click the [Backup] button on the MyRecovery screen.

- Restoring Your System Image and Software (Windows 7)
Managing Your Backup Images
With the MyRecovery tool you can also make copies of backup images, archive them on DVD, or delete them from
your hard drive.
1 To begin, click the [MyRecovery] icon on your desktop.
2 Click the [Manage/Create] button in the MyRecovery window.
3 When the MyRecovery Manager window appears, click [Manage Backup Images].
4 In the next window, a list of your backup images appears. Below the list are three buttons allowing you to [Make
DVD], [Copy], or [Delete] your backup images.
5 Select an image title from the list, then click the action button you would like to perform.
6 Note that you need to have an external disk drive connected for the [Copy] button to be enabled. If you elect to
copy the image, you will be prompted to enter the destination. If you are ready to copy, click [OK] to proceed. A
progress screen appears while the backup copy is being made.
7 Note that if you copy an image to an external hard drive, both the original and the copy will appear in the [Backup
Images] window with identical names, dates, and file sizes, but with the different drive letter to distinguish them.
Before you select [Make DVD], make sure you have a recordable DVD drive connected and blank DVDs available.
Using the Recovery and Utility Tools
The Recovery and Utility tools consist of a variety of tools that will help you recover your Factory Image, recover system
images, and delete the data from your hard disk.
Methods for accessing the utilities
Recovery and Utility Tools are preinstalled in a hidden partition by the factory, or they can be accessed by using the
bootable disc. Please note that you can delete Recovery and Utility tools from your hard disk drive if you modify the
partitions. In this case you will not be able to use the hidden partition for booting to Recovery and Utility Tools, but
you will still be able to boot from the Bootable Disc.
