Power Management
Your notebook has many options
and features for conser ving
batter y power. Some of these
features are automatic. However,
others depend on the parameters
you set to best suit your operating
conditions, such as display brightness. Internal power manageme nt
for your notebook may be controlled from settings made in your
operating system, or from settings
made in the BIOS setup utility.
There are other things that you
can do to prevent your batter y
from quickly running down. You
can create an appropriate power
saving profile, put your notebook
into Standby (Sleep) mode when
it is not performing an operation,
and you can limit the use of high
power devices. As with all mobile,
batter y powered computers, there
is a trade-off between performance
and power savings.
When your notebook is active,
the Suspend/Resume but ton
can be pushed to manually
put the notebook into Standby
mode. Push it again to
reactivate your computer.

Popular Accessories
When using your notebook equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injur y to persons, including the following :

Caution
Recycling your battery
Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this
is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the batter y with a fresh one*.
If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials
that could cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.
Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation (RBRC )**, a non-profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment
by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.
RBRC has drop-of f points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada.
To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org or call 1-800 -822-8837.
If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA Consumer Education Initiative
website ( http://EIAE.org/ ) and search for a convenient disposal location.
Remember—protecting the environment is a cooperative effor t, and you should make every effort to protect
it for current and future generations.
* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com
in the US or w ww.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks in Canada.
**RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for battery recycling ; RBRC is in no way
affiliated with Fu jitsu.
