Power On; Power Off - Fujitsu LifeBook C Series Owner's Manual

Power On

Power/Suspend/Resume button
The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to
turn on your LifeBook notebook from its off state.
Once you have connected your AC adapter or
charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can
power on your LifeBook notebook.
When you turn on your LifeBook notebook
be sure you have a power source. This means
that at least one battery is installed and
charged, or that the AC adapter is connected
and has power.
To turn on your LifeBook notebook from its off
state, press the Power/Suspend/Resume located
above the keyboard. When you are done working
you can either leave your LifeBook notebook in
Suspend mode, or you can turn it off.
Do not carry your LifeBook notebook around
with the power on or subject it to shocks or
vibration, as you risk damaging your
notebook.
When you power on your LifeBook notebook, it
will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check
the internal parts and configuration for correct
functionality. If a fault is found, your LifeBook
notebook will emit an audio warning and/or an
error message will be displayed. 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 POST, your
LifeBook notebook will load your operating
system.

Never turn off your LifeBook notebook during
the POST or it will cause an error message
to be displayed when you turn your LifeBook
notebook on the next time.

Power Off

Before turning off the power by choosing Shut
Down from Windows, check that the Hard Drive,
optical drive, PC Card and Floppy Disk Drive
Access indicators are all Off. If you turn off the
power while accessing a disk or PC Card there
is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your LifeBook
notebook shuts down without error, use the
Windows shut down procedure.
Never turn your LifeBook notebook off while
an application is running. Be sure to close all
files, exit all applications, and shut down your
operating system prior to turning off the
power. If files are open when you turn the
power off, you will lose any changes that have
not been saved, and may cause disk errors.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from
Windows, allows your LifeBook notebook to
complete its operations and turn off power in the
proper sequence to avoid errors.
The proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut
Down.
2. Select the Shut Down option from within the
Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to shut down your LifeBook
notebook.
If you are going to store your LifeBook notebook
for a month or more, see the Care and
Maintenance section of this manual.
