Starting Your LIFEBOOK Notebook
Power On
Power/Suspend/Resume Button
The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LIFEBOOK notebook from its off state. Once
you have connected your AC adapter or charged the internal battery, you can power on your notebook.
To turn on your LIFEBOOK notebook from its off state, press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, located
above the keyboard to the right. When you are done working you can either leave your notebook in
Suspend mode (see “Sleep Mode” on page 55), or you can turn it off (see “Powering Off” on page 57)
When you power on your LIFEBOOK, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal
parts and configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LIFEBOOK notebook will emit
an audio warning and/or an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on
page 101 Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating
system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion of the
POST, your notebook will load your operating system.
WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK BE SURE YOU HAVE A POWER SOURCE. THIS
MEANS THAT AT LEAST ONE BATTERY IS INSTALLED AND CHARGED, OR THAT THE AC OR AUTO/AIRLINE
ADAPTER IS CONNECTED AND HAS POWER.
D
O NOT CARRY YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK AROUND WITH THE POWER ON OR SUBJECT IT TO
SHOCKS OR VIBRATION, AS YOU RISK DAMAGING YOUR NOTEBOOK.
N
EVER TURN OFF YOUR NOTEBOOK DURING THE POWER ON SELF TEST (POST) OR IT WILL CAUSE AN
ERROR MESSAGE TO BE DISPLAYED WHEN YOU TURN YOUR NOTEBOOK ON THE NEXT TIME. See
“Power On Self Test Messages” on page 101
