This indicator changes as the battery level changes. Battery 0 is the Nickel Metal Hydride Battery Pack.(Figure 2-3 on page 17.) You can also check the Fujitsu Power Center. The battery is recharged internally using the AC Adapter or Auto Adapter. To recharge the battery: Make sure the battery to be charged is installed in your notebook and connect the AC Adapter or Auto Adapter. During charging, an 25 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 the 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. s s Using the AC Adapter will conserve the battery when using a high current device such as a modem, a LAN card,the CD-ROM drive, or the hard drive frequently. Section Two arrow is displayed just to the left of the battery icon on the Status Indicator. The percentage charge is also shown inside the Battery Icon. (Figure 2-4 on page 18.) The charging time from fully discharged is up to approximately 3 hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend Mode. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging (up to approximately 9 hours with normal operating levels). Switching From AC Adapter To Battery Power 1. Be sure that you have a charged battery installed. 2. Remove the AC Adapter. Low Battery State When the battery is running low, your notebook beeps about every 15 seconds and the Battery Status Indicator flashes. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm, the battery will continue to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this happens there will be a multiple beep alarm, the Status Indicator will show dead battery, and your notebook will go into Suspend Mode to try and protect your data as long as possible. The Power Savings settings do not affect whether the dead battery alarm level will send your notebook into Suspend Mode.(Figure 2-3 on page 17.) 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. 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 Status Indicator flash. CAUTION When you are in Suspend Mode there must always be at least one power source active at all times. If you turn off the power with the Power Switch, or remove all power sources, Main Battery, AC Adapter or Auto Adapter, while your notebook is in Suspend Mode any data which has not been saved to disk will be lost. CAUTION Using heavy current devices such as LAN cards or frequent CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely. 26 LifeBo ok 400 Series from Fuji tsu Using Your LifeBook 400 Series 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, or an optional Auto Adapter. Dead Battery Suspend Mode shows on the Status Indicator just like the normal Suspend Mode .O n ce you have provided power, you will need to press the 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 it off, while the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power Off on page 23 for shutdown procedures.) Integrated TouchPad Pointing Device The TouchPad pointing device is composed of a small rectangular touch sensitive pad and two buttons located in front of the keyboard. The TouchPad pointing device has the function of a mouse,and moves the cursor around on the screen ­ up, down,left and right.A light pressure with the tip of your finger is all that is required to operate the pad. Pencil erasers, etc. do not work. The faster you move your finger the faster the cursor will move. The second part of the TouchPad pointing device ­ the buttons ­ function as mouse buttons, and the functions they perform depend on the application you are running. Figure 2-6 shows the position of the pointing device and mouse buttons.
