Your notebook can be operated on the primary Lithium ion battery alone or in a dual battery configuration with an optional second Lithium ion battery. A built-in bridge battery allows a charged Lithium ion battery to be exchanged for a discharged one by "warm-swapping". To warm-swap, have a charged battery ready, put your notebook in Suspend mode, remove the low battery and quickly insert a charged battery. (For more information on warm-swapping see page 122.) The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter than the reference value if it is used under the following conditions: s When used at temperatures that exceed a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. High 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.) 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. When using a high cur rent device such as a modem, a LAN card,the CD-ROM drive, or the hard drive frequently. CAUTION Turning off the power switch without exiting Windows 95 may cause an error when you start the next time. Turning the power to On when it has been Off for less than 10 seconds may also cause an error when you start the next time. s FUJITSU WELCOME CENTER The Fujitsu Welcome Center is an icon on your Windows 95 desktop. Clicking on it gives you access to product registration forms and instructions, change of address information and forms, contact information including telephone numbers and e-mail addresses, and an accessory Using the AC adapter will conserve your battery when using a high current device such as a modem, a LAN card,the CD-ROM drive, or the hard drive frequently. 26 LifeBo ok 200 Series from Fuji tsu Using Your LifeBook 200 Series CAUTION Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition, and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive, hard drive, and Zip Drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. CAUTION 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 (1-800-838-5487). Bridge Battery The bridge battery is a NiCd battery that is built-in your notebook and is constantly being recharged.A bridge battery allows a charged Lithium ion battery to be exchanged for a discharged one by "warm-swapping". To warm-swap, have a charged battery ready, put your notebook in Suspend mode, remove the low battery and quickly insert a charged battery. The bridge battery capacity is not large, about 3 minutes,and can vary with the condition of your notebook. CAUTION Data may be lost and/or system errors introduced if the warm-swap is not performed quickly or a power adapter installed. CAUTION The bridge battery can not support an active notebook. The notebook must be in Suspend mode. CAUTION Do not leave a faulty battery in your notebook. It might 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. 27 Section Two Shorted Batteries If your Status Indicator panel shows a shorted battery, check the installation for that battery by removing and re-installing it. If it still shows that it is shorted, replace it with a new battery. CAUTION A shorted battery is damaged and must be replaced so that it does not damage anything else. Recharging the Batteries If you want to check the condition of either the primary Lithium ion battery or an optional second Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicators located on the Status Indicator panel. These indicators change as the battery levels change. Battery 1 is a Lithium ion battery which is installed in Multi-function Bay 1 and Battery 2 is a Lithium ion battery which is installed in Multi-function Bay 2. (Figure 2-3 on page 20.) You can also check the PowerPanel toolbar. The Lithium ion batteries are recharged internally using the AC adapter or auto/airline adapter. To recharge the batteries: s they were not at the same charge level when they were installed and/or the AC or auto/airline adapter was connected. There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion batteries, which means that you do not ne ed to discharge them completely before recharging. A single fully discharged Lithium ion battery will charge in approximately three (3) hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend mode. The charging time from fully discharged for two Lithium ion batteries together, is approximately 5 hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend mode.Of course partially charged batteries will not take as long to charge. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the batteries are charging (from approximately nine (9) hours for one battery to approximately 15 hours for two batteries with normal operating levels). Make sure the battery to be charged is installed in either Multi-function bay of your notebook and connect the AC or auto/airline adapter. Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator to the left of the Battery Level indicator of the battery to be charged is visible on the Status Indicator panel. Make sure the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon. (Figure 2-4 on page 21.) s s When two Lithium ion batteries are installed, the charge/discharge rate of the primary and optional second Lithium ion batteries are the same,as they are connected in parallel and are both charging and/or discharging at the same time. Since the rates are the same, one may finish charging or discharging before the other if CAUTION Using heavy current devices such as LAN cards or frequent CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely. 28 LifeBo ok 200 Series from Fuji tsu Using Your LifeBook 200 Series Low Battery State When the battery is running low, your notebook beeps about every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator(s) flash. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm,the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a multiple beep alarm,the Battery Level indicator will show dead battery, and your notebook will go into Suspend mode to try and protect your data as long as possible. Your power management settings do not affect what happens at the dead battery alarm level. Your notebook will go to Suspend mode. (Figure 2-3 on page 20.) CAUTION You may not be able to hear the audio alarms if the volume control is set too low or is turned off by either hardware or software but you will still be able to see the Battery Level indicator(s) flash. When the low battery alarm occurs you need to save all your active data and put your notebook into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide this power as soon as possible. The new power source can be a charged battery or a power adapter, either AC or auto/airline. CAUTION When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you turn off the power with the power switch, or remove all power sources, battery, AC adapter or auto/ airline adapter, while your notebook is in Suspend mode any data which has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost. 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 AC adapter, an optional auto/ airline adapter, or a charged battery. Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for sometime. If a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out,and you will 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, but the battery trickle charges under these conditions. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode, or turn off your notebook while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Offon pages 24-25 for shutdown procedures.) CAUTION There is no guarantee that data will not be lost once your notebook enters the Dead Battery Suspend mode. 29 Section Two INTEGRATED ERGOTRAC POINTING DEVICE Cursor Cursor Control Left Button Right Button Figure 2-6 ErgoTrac pointing device The ErgoTrac pointing device is composed of a short, comfortable,dish-shaped pointing device and two buttons located in front of the keyboard.
