6 A26391-K105-Z120-1-7619
Page 15
Preparing for use
Please read the chapter "Important notes".
!
You must charge the battery and install the application programmes before you can work with the
notebook. The operating system and drivers required are preinstalled.
When not plugged into a mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the
battery's life by enabling the system's energy saving functions.
If you use the notebook in a normal office situation, run it from the mains using the power adapter.
The chapter "Connecting external devices" has instructions on how to connect external devices (e.g.
mouse, printer) to the notebook.
Unpacking and checking the delivery
Ê Unpack all the individual parts.
Ê Check the delivery for damage incurred during transportation.
Ê Check whether the delivery agrees with the details in the delivery note.
Should you discover that the delivery does not correspond to the delivery note, notify your local
sales outlet immediately.
Do not discard the original packing material. Keep it for future transportation.
i
Selecting a location
Select a suitable location for the notebook before setting it up. Consider the following points when
looking for a location.
• It is recommended that you place your notebook on a surface with good anti-slip qualities. In
view of the multitude of different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is possible that the
rubber feet of the devices will mark the surface they stand on.
• Do not expose the notebook to extreme environmental conditions. Protect it from dust, humidity
and heat.
• Keep other objects 100 mm away from the notebook and it's power adapter to ensure adequate
ventilation. The space between the notebook's feet must be clear. Do not place it on a soft
surface (e.g., a carpet or soft furnishings). Do not cover the ventilation slots in the notebook or
the power adapter.
• The power adapter must be at least 200 mm away from the notebook. It must be free-standing
and must not be covered. Do not place the power adapter on heat-sensitive material.
• For wireless data transfer you must align the notebook's infrared interface with that of the
partner device (e.g. PC). The devices must not be more than one meter apart.

drained. In this case wait 5-10 minutes before switching on the notebook again.
Page 17
Preparing for operation Preparing for use
Power supply unit
• The power adapter is designed for a voltage between 100 V and 240 V and a frequency
between 50 Hz and 60 Hz.
• When the notebook is supplied with power, the symbol (power indicator) appears in the
"Status indicators" of your notebook.
• You can order an additional optional power adapter and an additional power cable.
Battery
The battery supplies your notebook with the necessary power during mobile use. You can increase
battery life by enabling the system's power management features.
The standard battery will last for roughly 500 charge/discharge cycles, this will vary according to
which battery pack is fitted.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
Only use batteries designed for this LIFEBOOK.
!
The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and
max. 40°C.
The notebook battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the status indicator panel.
A notebook battery will fully charge in approximately three hours in a notebook that is switched off.
A notebook battery will fully charge in approximately eight hours if the notebook is switched on.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter.
Work in the battery mode until an acoustic warning prompts you to recharge and the battery
indicator in the status indicator panel begins to flash. It is a good idea to discharge the battery
completely before recharging it, as this will extend battery lifetime.
If you do not connect the power adapter within five minutes of the signals described above, your
notebook automatically switches itself off.
Never store batteries in the notebook. If you do not use them for a long period, charge
i
them fully then remove them from the battery compartment.
A26391-K105-Z120-1-7619 9
Page 18
Preparing for use Preparing for operation
The battery charge is indicated by the battery symbol in the status indicator panel (see also the
section "Indicators and input devices". When you switch on the notebook, it takes a few seconds
before the battery status is displayed:
The battery charging state is indicated in the status indicator panel.
Indicates that the battery is 0%-25% charged.
Indicates that the battery is 25%-50% charged.
Indicates that the battery is 50%-75% charged.
Indicates that the battery is 75%-100% charged.
Windows 98 and Windows 2000 power management includes a "battery charge meter" located in
the task bar. When you position the cursor on the battery, the battery charge level is displayed. The
battery symbol will become more yellow as the charge level goes down.
Battery storage
If storing for a long period of time (longer than two months) batteries should be fully charged before
storage.
To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery should be
completely discharged and then fully recharged.
Never store batteries in the notebook. If you do not need to use them for a long period,
i
charge them fully then remove them from battery compartment.
Keep the battery pack between 0°C and 50°C (32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit).
The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower is the rate of self-
discharge.
Inserting and removing the battery
Only use batteries designed for this LIFEBOOK.
!
Ê Switch off the notebook.
Ê Place the notebook on a flat surface.
Ê Close the LCD display panel.
Ê Turn the notebook over.
Never use force when inserting or removing a battery.

Security Panel Working with your notebook
Security Panel
The security panel enables you to protect your notebook from unauthorised use with a hardware
password. When a Security Panel password is activated, the notebook will not start without the
correct insertion of a password. The password must be entered in order to enter the BIOS Setup
utility.
Once a password has been assigned the notebook will not switch on, or Resume from Save-to-disk
without correct insertion of a password. The password is also required in order to resume from
energy saving functions such as Suspend and Standby.
Password protection of Save-to-RAM Mode is also supported. This function is set to Enable by
default but can be deactivated in BIOS Setup, Security Panel on Resume.
In the event that a user forgets their password, the two level password protection, supervisor and
user, enables the supervisor to unlock the machine and assign a new password.
In the event that the purchaser, having enabled the Security Panel Application, forgets
!
both passwords and becomes locked out of the notebook, it will be necessary to return the
notebook to one of our repair centres in order to have the code reset. This is not covered
by the notebook’s standard warranty, please call your customer service centre for
information on this service.
No passwords are assigned when the notebook is delivered. The passwords can be assigned with
the FJSECS.EXE (supervisor password) and FJSECU.EXE (user password) programmes, located in a
folder on the Desktop called Add-On Software. The supervisor password and the user password can
be assigned with up to 5 key entries. Multiple keys (1+2) can be used together as one key entry. By
pressing the Security Panel Enter key the password is saved.
The supervisor password has to be set before the user password can be assigned.
