- Care and Maintenance
Storing your LIFEBOOK notebook
• If storing your notebook for a month or longer, turn your LIFEBOOK notebook off, fully charge the
battery, then remove and store all Lithium ion batteries.
• Store your notebook and batteries separately. If you store your LIFEBOOK with a battery installed,
the battery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In addition, a faulty battery might
damage your LIFEBOOK.
• Store your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK in a cool, dry location. Temperatures should remain between 13ºF
(-25ºC) and 140ºF (60ºC).
Traveling with your LIFEBOOK notebook
• Do not transport your notebook while it is turned on.
• It is recommended that you carry your notebook with you while traveling, rather than checking it
in as baggage.
• Always bring your System Recovery CD that came with your notebook when you travel. If you
experience system software problems while traveling, you may need it to correct any problems.
• ALWAYS POWER OFF THE COMPUTER BEFORE TRANSPORTING AND/OR PACKAGING IT. AFTER SHUTTING
DOWN THE SYSTEM, WAIT UNTIL THE STATUS LED PANEL INDICATES POWER OFF CONDITION (NO LIGHTS
ARE ILLUMINATED).
• IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE UNIT MAY NOT AUTOMATICALLY GO TO POWER OFF OR HIBERNATE MODE
WHEN YOU CLOSE THE LID. THIS SITUATION MAY OCCUR DUE TO PRE-OS BOOT PASSWORD SECURITY
SETTINGS OR SOME OTHER APPLICATION RUNNING ON THE COMPUTER.
• ATTEMPTING TO TRANSPORT THE COMPUTER WHILE POWER IS ON MAY DAMAGE THE NOTEBOOK DUE
TO SHOCK OR OVERHEATING SINCE THE AIR VENTS MAY BE BLOCKED OR RESTRICTED.
