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

SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTION.

OR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF FIRE, REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE AND

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 battery 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-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org

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 effort, 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

www.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 Fujitsu.

- Starting Your LifeBook Notebook

Power Management

Your LifeBook notebook 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 notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.

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 notebook 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/Suspend/Resume Button

When your notebook is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put the notebook into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button when the notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. Note that if you press the button continuously for four seconds or longer, your notebook will shut down.

If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator on the front edge of the system. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, your notebook is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode. (See Hibernation Feature)

Sleep Mode

Sleep mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display, and all other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting.

- Power Management

Your notebook can be put in Sleep mode by:

• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.

• Selecting Sleep (“Standby” in Windows XP) from the Windows Shut Down menu.

• Timing out from lack of activity.

• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.

System memory typically stores the files on which you are working, open application information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Sleep, your system will return to where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.

■

IF RUNNING YOUR NOTEBOOK ON BATTERY POWER, BE AWARE THAT THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO DISCHARGE

WHILE YOUR NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE, THOUGH NOT AS FAST AS WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL.

■

DISABLING THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON PREVENTS IT FROM BEING USED TO PUT THE NOTEBOOK INTO SLEEP OR HIBERNATION MODE. THE BUTTON RESUME FUNCTION CAN’T BE DISABLED.

■

IF YOUR NOTEBOOK IS ACTIVELY ACCESSING INFORMATION WHEN YOU ENTER THE 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 FLASH DISK DURING HIBERNATION MODE.

HE MAIN ADVANTAGE OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT POWER IS NOT REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN YOUR DATA. HIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPOR TANT IF YOU WILL BE LEAVING YOUR NOTEBOOK IN A SUSPENDED STATE FOR A

PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE DRAWBACK OF USING HIBERNATION MODE IS THAT IT LENGTHENS THE POWER DOWN AND POWER UP SEQUENCES AND RESETS PERIPHERAL DEVICES.

Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) Feature

The Hibernation feature saves the contents of your notebook’s system memory to the flash memory disk as a part of the Power/Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature.

Enable or Disable the Hibernation Feature

The default settings are not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these steps:

1 From the Start menu select Control Panel.

- Power Management

2 From the Control Panel select System and Security, then select Power Options. 3 Select Choose what the power button does or Choose what closing the lid does, then make your selection

(Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down).

You can also go directly into Hibernate mode by going to the Start menu, clicking the small arrow to the right of the [Shut Down] button, then clicking on Hibernate.

Windows Power Management

When you go to the Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options, you can configure some power management settings. For example, you can use Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the display whether you are running the notebook on battery 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 Click the [Start] button, and then move the mouse over the small arrow to the right of the [Shut Down} button. 2 Select Restart from the list.

TURNING OFF YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK WITHOUT EXITING WINDOWS OR TURNING ON YOUR

NOTEBOOK WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE NOTEBOOK BEING SHUT OFF MAY CAUSE AN ERROR WHEN YOU START THE NEXT TIME.

Powering Off

Before turning off the power, check that the flash memory disk access indicator is off. If you turn off the power while accessing the flash memory, there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down procedure.

E SURE TO CLOSE ALL FILES AND EXIT ALL APPLICATIONS PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE POWER. IF FILES ARE OPEN WHEN YOU TURN THE POWER OFF, YOU WILL LOSE ANY CHANGES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED, AND MAY CAUSE DISK ERRORS.

- Power Management

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:

Click the [Start] button, and then move the mouse over the [Shut Down] button at the bottom right of the right-hand pane. Click the button to shut down the system.

If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more, see Care and Maintenance Section.

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.

User-Installable Features

Polymer Battery

Your LifeBook notebook has a polymer battery that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals, or other hazards.

The polymer battery operating time may become shorter 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. 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.

• When using a high current device such as an external optical drive, using the AC adapter will

conserve your battery life.

DO NOT LEAVE A FAULTY BATTERY IN YOUR NOTEBOOK. IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR AC ADAPTER, OPTIONAL A

UTO/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.

• BATTERY LIFE WILL VARY BASED ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, APPLICATIONS, FEATURES, POWER

MANAGEMENT SETTINGS, BATTERY CONDITION AND OTHER CUSTOMER PREFERENCES. OPTICAL 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 REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE.

• UNDER FEDERA L, 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)

Recharging the Batteries

If you want to know the condition of the polymer battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.

The polymer ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LifeBook notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.

AKE SURE THAT THE PERCENTAGE CHARGE IS INDICATED BY THE BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR ON

THE STATUS INDICATOR PANEL.

There is no memory effect on the polymer battery, therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Sleep mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Management on page 50 for more

information on Sleep mode and shutdown procedure)

- Polymer Battery

USING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES OR FREQUENT EXTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE ACCESSES MAY PREVENT

CHARGING COMPLETELY.

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 batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point.

■

ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUT

YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK INTO SLEEP MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY, AN AC POWER ADAPTER, OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

■

WHEN YOU ARE IN SLEEP MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF YOU

REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK IS IN SLEEP MODE, ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED TO THE MEMORY WILL BE LOST.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.

In Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if power is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, resulting in loss of the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel indicator associated with the Battery Level indicator displays the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows a flashing red LED, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your LifeBook notebook.

- Polymer Battery

Replacing the Battery

With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged.

DO NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY WHEN POWER IS APPLIED TO YOUR SYSTEM. WHEN REPLACING THE

BATTERY, MAKE SURE THAT THE NOTEBOOK IS POWERED OFF AND THERE IS NO AC ADAPTER CONNECTED. DO NOT TOUCH THE EXPOSED BATTERY CONNECTOR, FAN OR MOTHERBOARD

COMPONENTS WHILE REPLACING THE BATTERY. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR NOTEBOOK FAILURE IF THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.

Cold-swapping Batteries

To cold-swap batteries, follow these easy steps (Figure 23):

1 Have a charged battery ready to install. 2 Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter. 3 Turn the system over, and position it so that the battery latches are closest to you. 4 Slide the right latch to the left to unlock it. 5 Slide the left latch to the left and hold it in place while you lift the battery from the bottom of the system (use the

thumbnail notch to the left of the left battery latch).

6 Insert a new battery into the bay, and press it in firmly so that the left latch clicks into place, then slide the right

latch to the right to lock it.
