Boot Sequence
The procedure for starting-up your Tablet PC is termed the Bootup sequence and involves your Tablet
PC’ s BIOS. When your LIFEBOOK Tablet PC is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and
it needs to find instructions to start up your T ablet PC. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time
you power up or restart your T ablet PC, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until
your operating system is loaded. During booting, your T ablet PC 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.
61

Power Management
DRAFT
Your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, prebundled 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 Tablet PC 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 Switch
When your T ablet PC is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume switch can be used to manually put the Tablet
PC into Sleep mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when the Tablet PC is active, but not
actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button.
If your T ablet PC is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch returns it to active operation.
You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator . If the indicator is visible
and not flashing, your T ablet PC is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, the Tablet PC
is in Sleep mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your Tablet PC is in Hibernation mode.
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, hard drive, and all other internal
components except those necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting.
Your Tablet PC can be put in sleep mode by:
• Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when your system is turned on.
67
- Power Management
• Selecting “Sleep” after clicking [Start] then clicking the small arrow at the bottom right of the
DRAFT
window.
• Timing out from lack of activity.
• Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.
Your Tablet PC’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application
information, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation
from Sleep mode, your Tablet PC will return to the point where it left off. You must use the
Power/Suspend/Resume switch to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source
available, or your Tablet PC will not resume.

Sleep Mode:
DRAFT
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 ST AR 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.

Your LIFEBOOK Tablet PC has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your Tablet PC
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 Lithium ion 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 (41° to 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 char ge a battery that is outside
its operating temperature range.
• When using a high current device such as an external optical drive or the hard drive, using the AC

If you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator
located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.
The Lithium 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 Tablet PC and
connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery
completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your Tablet PC is in use
while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly , put your T ablet PC into Sleep
mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery . (See Power Management on page 67 for mor e
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 Tablet PC will go into Sleep mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved
once the Tablet PC reaches this point.

Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your
T ablet PC 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 switch 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 Tablet PC 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 Tablet PC.
