Optical Drive
There is a variety of media available to use with your
system, depending upon the system configuration you
have selected. Multi-Format DVD Writer, DVD/CD-RW
Combo drives, and CD-ROM drives are known as
“optical drives”.
A CD-R or DVD-R disc can only be written to once;
CD-RW or DVD-RW discs can be written to over and
over. CD-R and CD-RW discs hold up to 700MB of data.
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs hold up to 4.7 GB of data.
Depending upon the configuration of your LifeBook
notebook, you may have one of the following drives:
■
Multi-Format DVD Writer: The Multi-Format DVD
Writer combines seven recordable formats in a single
drive (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVDRAM, CD-R, and CD-RW), making it the most versatile drive to date.
■
DVD/CD-RW combo: A DVD/CD-RW combo drive
allows you to access movie, software, data, or audio
DVD/CDs, and to write data onto recordable CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
■
CD-ROM: A CD-ROM drive allows you to access software, data, or audio CDs.
MEDIA PLAYER SOFTWARE
Multi-Format DVD Writer model only: With the MultiFormat DVD Writer and media player software you can
play DVD movies and music CDs on your LifeBook
notebook. The media player includes controls which
allow you to take full advantage of the features of a DVD
movie, as well as standard features such as fast forward,
fast reverse, pause, etc. With this drive you can also burn
onto recordable DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/
RW discs.
The Multi-Format DVD Writer also
supports burning and reading DVD-RAM.
Windows XP supports burning and reading
of DVD-RAM as a standard feature.
DVD/CD-RW Combo model only:
With the combo drive,
you can play DVD movies, read audio CDs, and write
data onto recordable CD-R or CD-RW discs.
CD-ROM model only: With the CD-ROM drive, you can
read software, audio, or data CD discs.
■
Do not operate your optical drive
unless your LifeBook notebook is
sitting on a flat surface. Using a drive
when the system is not level may
damage the drive or prevent proper
operation.
■
Prolonged use of the optical drive,
such as watching a DVD movie, will
substantially reduce your battery life if
no other power source is attached.

You should periodically check the
Fujitsu web site at us.fujitsu.com/
computers for current updated drivers.
■
All LifeBook DVD players are set to
play DVD titles with region code
number 1 which is specified for the
North American market. The region
number is a regional restriction code
defined by the DVD Forum acting on
Hollywood requirements. Different
region codes are recorded on video
DVD titles for publication in different
areas of the world. If the regional code
of the DVD player does not match the
regional codes on the titles, then playback is impossible.
■
You can change the region code on
the DVD player using the Properties
menu of the DVD software. Note,
however, that you can only change
the region code up to four times.
After the fourth change, the last
region code entered becomes permanent, and cannot be changed.
3. Place the media into the tray, label side up, with the

To use the Dolby Headphone feature, perform the
following steps:
1. Insert the disc in the media player tray. When you do
so, WinDVD will start automatically.
2. Click on the Fujitsu logo on the WinDVD control
panel. If the disc supports Dolby Surround 5.1, a
drop down menu appears.
3. Verify that Dolby headphones is checked on the
menu. If you do not want it active, select Disable.
USING MEDIA PLAYER ON BATTERY POWER
Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall
battery life will be significantly shorter when operating
the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD
movie) than during standard operation. Many movies
run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can
support on a single charged battery. If you are watching a
DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in
an additional, charged battery or attach AC power during
the movie to view it in its entirety.
■
Prolonged use of the optical drive, such
as watching a DVD movie, will greatly
reduce your notebook’s battery life.
■
Many movie run-times are longer than
your system can support on a single
battery. If you are watching a DVD
movie on battery power you may need
to swap in an additional, charged
battery or attach AC power during the
movie to view it in its entirety.
■
An additional fully-charged battery is
highly recommended if you will be
watching DVD movies on battery
power. If you don’t have an additional
battery, you may purchase one either
online at us.fujitsu.com/computers or
by calling 1-877-372-3473.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC
adapter ready for use.
2. Start watching your DVD movie.
3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately
stop the movie and exit the media player.
If you do not stop the media player quickly
and the LifeBook notebook attempts to
auto-suspend (critical battery low state)
the LifeBook notebook will shut down
improperly. If this occurs, you will need to
perform a hard reset and follow the
instruction, if any, presented to you before
the system will reboot.
4. Power down your LifeBook notebook and replace
the discharged battery with an additional fullycharged battery. If you do not have an additional
battery, you may attach AC power as soon as you see
the low battery warning.
5. Resume your LifeBook notebook by pressing the
Suspend button again. This is not required if you
attached AC power without entering suspend mode.
6. Restart your media player, locate and skip to the
chapter of the movie you were last watching.
7. Continue watching your DVD movie.
Some shorter DVD movies may not require
you to swap batteries or attach AC power
to complete them. However, it is best to
be prepared since actual battery life while
operating the optical drive cannot be
guaranteed.

LifeBook S7000 Notebook
Lithium ion Battery
Your LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion 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 Lithium ion battery operating time may become
shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
■
When used at temperatures that exceeds 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.
(See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more
information)
■
When using a high current device such as a modem,
Multi-Format DVD Writer, CD-ROM drive, DVD/
CD-RW combo drive, or the hard drive, using the AC
adapter will conserve your battery life.
Do not leave a faulty battery in your
LifeBook notebook. It may damage your
AC adapter, optional Auto/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.
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
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 notebook and connect the
AC or Auto/Airline adapter
Make sure that the Battery Charging
indicator and the percentage charge is
shown inside the Battery Level icon on the
Status Indicator Panel.
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 notebook is in use while the
battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery
more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode,
or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.
(See Power Management on page 32 for more information
on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure)
Using heavy current devices such as
Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CDROM accesses may prevent charging
completely.
.
■
Actual battery life will vary based on
screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer
preferences. CD-ROM drive, Multi-Format DVD Writer, DVD/CD-RW drive
combo, 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 replace
it with a new one.
■
Under federal, 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 (1-800838-5487)
40
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 Suspend 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 Suspend 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 Suspend mode there
must always be at least one power
source active. If you remove all power
sources while your LifeBook notebook is
in Suspend mode, any data that has not
been saved to the hard drive will be lost.
S7010.book Page 41 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM
User Installable Features
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Suspend 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 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 notebook while an adapter is
charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the
battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display
the operating level available in that battery. (See figure 2-
9 on page 11) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it
means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it
does not damage other parts of your LifeBook notebook.
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. There are two ways to swap batteries, coldswapping and hot-swapping:
Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these
easy steps: (Figure 4-3)
1. Have a charged battery ready to install.
2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC
adapter.
3. Unlock the battery bay release latch by pushing the
latch release away from the battery pack and sliding
the battery bay release latch towards the latch release
(Figure 4-3).
4. Continue to press the latch release button away from
the battery pack, and lift the battery out of the bay
by inserting a thumbnail under the edge of the
battery at the lift slot.
5. Slide a new battery into the bay.
6. Slide the battery bay release latch back to its original
position to lock the battery into place.
8. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.
Hot-swapping Batteries
To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these
easy steps: (Figure 4-3)
Be sure to plug in an AC Adapter prior to
removing the battery. There is no bridge
battery present to support the system
while the battery is being replaced. If you
do not use an AC Adapter you will lose
any unsaved files.
1. Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it
to a power outlet.

risk of damaging the data on the disk, the
disk itself or even the disk drive.
PREPARING A DISK FOR USE
Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared
so your LifeBook notebook knows where to store information. This preparation is called formatting or initializing a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless
they are preformatted. (Please refer to your operating
system manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a
disk)
To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a
disk, slide the “write protect” tab until a small hole is
exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where
nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or
remove data on a protected disk, slide the “write
protect” tab to close the small hole. (Figure 4-5)

CHECKING THE MEMORY CAPACITY
Once you have changed the system memory capacity by
replacing the installed module with a larger one, be sure
to check that your notebook has recognized the change.
Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] ->
Settings -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the
System icon. Select the General tab and check the
amount of memory under “Computer:”.
There may be a variation between the actual memory
size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that
your system uses a video graphics chip which dynamically allocates system memory to accelerate graphics
performance. Up to 64 MB of memory is dynamically
shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video
Memor y Technology (DVMT).
■
Intel Extreme Graphics allocates 8 MB of
the system memory for use as default
video memory. If your system is configured with 512 MB of system memory,
for example, only 504 MB will be displayed in your system information.
■
If the total memory displayed is incorrect, check that your memory upgrade
module is properly installed. (If the mod-
ule is properly installed and the capacity
is still not correctly recognized, see
