The Status Indicator displays symbols that correspond
with a specific component of your LifeBook notebook.
These symbols tell you how each of those components
are operating. (Figure 2-9)
POWER INDICATOR
The Power indicator symbol states whether your system
is operational. It has several different states, each of
which tells you what mode your notebook is in at that
time.
Steady On: This means that there is power to your

Hibernate mode, or that your notebook has been
turned off with the power switch.
If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator
symbol will remain on even if your LifeBook notebook is
shut off. The Power indicator symbol will also remain on
if you have either adapter connected and are shut down
from Windows, but have not turned off the power
switch.
