Lithium ion Battery

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has a
Lithium ion battery that provides power
for operating your notebook when no
external power source is available. The
rechargeable battery is durable and long
lasting, but should not be exposed to
extreme temperatures, high voltages,
chemicals or other hazards.
The Lithium ion battery operating time
may become shorter if it is used under the
following conditions:
Your system is set to use the Max Battery
■
power scheme when running on battery
power. If you change the power scheme
to a different profile, your battery life
may vary.
When used at temperatures that exceed a
■
low of 5°C (40°F) or a high of 35°C
(95°F). Extreme 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.
When using a high current device such
■
as a modem, DVD/CD-RW drive, DVD
writer, or hard drive, using the AC
adapter will conserve your battery life.

Do not leave a faulty bat-
■
tery in your LifeBook
notebook. It may damage
your AC adapter or your
notebook itself. It may
also prevent operation of
your notebook by draining
all available current into
the bad battery.
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 batter-
ies. If you cannot find this
information elsewhere,
contact your support rep-
resentative.
Actual battery life will vary
based on factors such as
screen brightness,
applications, features, power
management settings,
battery condition and other
customer preferences.
CD-RW, DVD- writer
hard drive usage may also
have a significant impact on
battery life. Battery charging
capacity is reduced as the
battery ages. If your battery
is running low quickly, you
should replace it.
