Using the Drive on Battery Power
Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be shorter when operating the optical drive
continuously (such as watching a DVD movie). Many movie run-times are longer than your LIFEBOOK notebook 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.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1 Have an additional fully-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 optical player.
4 Manually place your notebook into Sleep mode by depressing the Suspend button. Plug in a power adapter and
replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-charged battery. If you do not have an additional battery,
you may use the AC power adapter as your power source to continue watching the movie while recharging the
installed battery.
5 Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This step is not required if you attached AC power
without entering Sleep mode.
6 Restart your optical drive, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.
7 Continue watching your DVD movie.
• PROLONGED USE OF THE OPTICAL DRIVE, SUCH AS WATCHING A DVD MOVIE, WILL SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE YOUR 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 BATTERY IS RECOMMENDED IF YOU WILL BE WATCHING DVD MOVIES ON BATTERY POWER. IF YOU DON’T HAVE AN ADDITIONAL
BATTERY, YOU MAY PURCHASE ONE EITHER ON-LINE AT: WWW.SHOPFUJITSU.COM OR CALL 1-800-8FUJITSU.
IF YOU DON’T STOP THE OPTICAL DRIVE QUICKLY AND THE NOTEBOOK ATTEMPTS TO AUTO-SUSPEND (CRITICAL BATTERY LOW STATE) THE NOTEBOOK
WILL SHUT DOWN IMPROPERLY. IF THIS OCCURS, YOU WILL NEED TO POWER THE SYSTEM UP WITH THE POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON AND
FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS THAT APPEAR.
