To Switch From AC Adapter Power To Battery Power 1. Be sure that you have at least one charged battery installed. 2. Remove the AC or auto/airline adapter. CAUTION The primary Lithium ion battery is not charged when you purchase your notebook. Initially you will need to connect the AC adapter or the auto/airline adapter to use it. If you purchase a second Lithium ion battery it will not be charged when you get it. You will need to charge it prior to use. It can take up to three (3) hours to charge a single battery if your notebook is turned off or is in Suspend mode. If your notebook is in use it can take up to nine (9) hours or more to charge a single battery. POWER SOURCES Your notebook has four possible power sources: the primary Lithium ion battery; an optional dual Lithium ion battery configuration; the AC adapter; or an optional auto/airline adapter. Connecting the Power Adapters The AC adapter or an optional auto/airline adapter provides power for operating your notebook and charging the batteries. (Figure 2-1.) To Connect the AC Adapter Figure 2-1 Connecting the AC Adapter To Connect the Optional Auto/airline Adapter 1. Plug the DC Output cable into the DC Power jack on the right-side panel of your notebook. Plug the auto/airline adapter plug into the cigarette lighter of a car or other vehicle with the ignition key in the On or the Accessories position or into the DC Power jack on an airplane seat. 2. 1. Plug the DC Output cable of the AC adapter into the DC Power jack on the right-side panel of your notebook. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet. 2. 14 LifeBook E Series from Fujitsu Starting Your LifeBook E Series DISPLAY PANEL Opening the Display Panel Lifting the latch releases the top of the display panel from the front of the notebook body. When the display panel is released it pops up slightly to make it easier to open. Lift the display panel backward until the screen is at a comfortable viewing angle. (Figure 2-2.) Adjusting the Display Panel Before you turn on your notebook, you may want to adjust the brightness level of the screen. Start with the brightness control slider (located directly under the display screen) in the middle position. (Figure 2-3.) Figure 2-3 Adjusting the Display ADJUSTING THE KEYBOARD ANGLE On the bottom of your notebook, near the back, are a pair of feet which flip down and hold the back of the notebook about 6° higher than the front when resting on a flat surface. They are designed to make it more comfortable to use the keyboard with your notebook. The feet must be folded flat against the bottom of the notebook when opening or using the CD-ROM drive or it will not open or operate properly. CAUTION Do not operate your CD-ROM drive or attempt to open the tray unless your notebook is sitting on a flat surface and the adjustment feet are folded against the bottom of the notebook. Using a CD-ROM drive when it is not level may damage the drive or prevent proper operation. You may need to adjust the brightness levels after you start your notebook and periodically for different operating environments. POINT The higher the brightness level, the more power the notebook will consume and the faster your batteries will discharge. For maximum battery life, make sure that the brightness is set as low as possible. Figure 2-2 Opening the Display Panel 15 Two Section Two STARTING YOUR NOTEBOOK FOR THE FIRST TIME Power On The power switch is located on the right side of your notebook. This switch is used to turn On the computer from its Off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter or have charged the internal Lithium ion Battery, you can power On your notebook. CAUTION The main Lithium ion battery is not charged when you purchase your notebook. Initially you will need to connect the AC adapter to use it. If you purchase an optional second Lithium ion battery, it will not be charged when you get it, you will need to charge it prior to use. Facing the keyboard and display panel, move the power switch towards the rear of your notebook. This is the On position. (See Figure 2-4.) When you are done working you can leave your note16 CAUTION When you turn on your notebook be sure you have a power source. This means that at least one battery is installed and charged, or that the AC adapter or the auto/airline adapter is connected and has power. Figure 2-4 Power On book in Suspend mode, (see page 49), or you can turn it off. The power switch moved toward the front of your notebook is in the Off position. (See the section Power Off, pages 24-25, for the recommended shutoff procedures.) CAUTION Do not carry your notebook around with the power on or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging your notebook. When the power switch is turned on, your notebook carries out a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and configuration. If a fault is found a beep will sound and/or an error message will be displayed. (See Troubleshooting on pages 170-172) 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 Power On Self Test (POST) your notebook will load your operating system. (See Boot Menu on pages 115116 to see which kind of disk will be the source.)
