in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equ ipment does cause har mful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet that is

on a different circuit than the receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

Shielded interconnect cables must be employed
with this equipment to ensure compliance with
the pertinent RF emission limits governing this

Notice to Users of the US Telephone Network*

Your Stylistic maybe supplied with an internal
modern which complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules. On this Tablet PC is 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. T he telephone n umber to wh ich the
Tablet PC is connected.

2. The Ringer Equivalence Number(REN)
for this equipment.

3. That the equipment requires a standard
modualar jack type USOC RJ-11C which
is FCC Part 68 compliant.

4. The FCC Registration Number.

This equipment is designed to be connected
to the telephone network or premises wiring
using a standard modular jack type USOC
RJ-11C which is FCC Part 68 68 compliant
and a line cord between the modem and the
telephone network with a minimum of 26AWG.

The REN is used to determine the number
of dev ices tha t you may connect to you r
te lephone lin e and sti ll have al l of those
devices ring when your number is called. Too
many devices on one line may result in failure
to ring in response to an incoming call. In
most, but not all, areas the sum of the RENs

of all of the devices should not exceed ve(5).

To be certain of the number of devives you
may connect to your line, as determined by the
RENs, contact your local telephone company.

If thi s e qu i pme nt cau s es ha r m to th e
telephone network your telephone company
may discontinue your service temporarily. If
possible, they will notify you in advance. If
advance notice is not practical they will notify

If a char ged ba ttery ha s not bee n
re charg ed for more tha n a month,
charge it fully before using it.

When the battery is fully charged while

•

the notebook is in power off mode, the
Battery Charging Indicator turns off.

Using Your LIFEBOOK

•

Wh en th e battery is 90% or mo re
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. This
is a mechanism to protect and extend the
battery life.

•

When a notebook is turned off, the Battery
Level LED indicator 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 bat te ry is ver y ho t, fo r

•

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. (Optional

Power Management

Your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK has many options and
features for conserving battery power. Some
of these features are automatic and need no
user intervention, such as those for the internal
modem. However, ot he rs de pend on the
parameters you set to best suit your operating
co nd itions, su ch as those fo r the di sp lay
brightness. Internal power managements for
your notebook mat 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
as appropriate power saving profile, put your
notebook into Suspend mode when it is not
performing as operation, and you can limit the
use of high power devices. As with all mobile,
battery power computers, there is a trade-off
between performance and power savings.

Power/Suspend/Resume Button

When you LIFEBOOK is active, the Power/
Su spend/Resume button can be used to
ma nually ou t yo ur notebo ok into Su spend
mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button
when your notebook is active, but not actively
accessing anything , and immediately release
the button. You will hear two short beeps* and
your system will enter Suspend mode.

Suspend Mode

Suspend or Standby mode in WIndows saves
th e co ntents of your notebook's sy st em
memor y du ring pe ri ods of ina ct ivi ty 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
mem or y and all ow fo r res ta rti ng. Your
notebook can be put in Suspend mode by:

• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume

button when your system is turned on.

• Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut

Down menu.

• Timing out from lack of activity.

• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead

Battery warning condition.

Your notebook's sys tem memory typically
stores the file on which you are working you
are working, open application information, and
any other data required to support operation
from Suspend mode, your notebook will return
to the point where it left off. You must see the
Power.Suspend/Resume button to res ume
ope ration, and there must be as adequate
power source available, or your notebook will
not resume.

If your LIFEBOOK is suspended, pushing the
Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your
noteb ook to a ctive operat ion. You can tell
whether the system is Suspended by looking at
the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and

not ashing, your notebook is fully operational.
If the ind icator is visible and  ashing, your

notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is
not visible, the power is off or your notebook is
in Hibernation mode.

Disabling the Power/Suspend/Resume
button prevents it from being used to
put your LIFEBOOK in Suspend or
Hibernation(Save-to DIsk) mode. The
resume function of the button cannot
be disabled.

•

The suspend or hibernation(Save-to

-Disk) mode should not be used with
certain PC cards. Check your PC Card
documentation for more information.
When PC Cards or external devices
are in use, Hibernation(Save-to-Disk)
mode cannot return to the exact state
prior to suspension, because all of the
peripheral devices will be re-initialized
when the system restarts.

•

If your LIFEBOOK is actively accessing
inf o rm at ion wh en you en ter th e
Suspend or Hibernate (Save-to Disk)
mode, changes to open files are not

lost. The les are left open and memory

is kept active during Suspend mode
or the memory i s transferred to the
internal hard drive during hibernation

Hibernation(Save-to-Disk) function is
that power is not required to maintain
your data. This is particularly important
if you wil be leaving your LIFEBOOK
in a suspended state for a prolonged
period of time. The drawback of using
Hibernation mode is the it lengthens the
power down and power up sequences
and resets peripheral devices.
