SECTION THREE

USING YOUR LIFEBOOK C SERIES
FROM FUJITSU
This section describes the indicators, buttons,
connections, operating modes, and software of
your LifeBook C Series and their uses.

POWER BUTTON

The power button is located above the key-
board to the right of the Status Indicator Panel.
(See Figure 3-1.) It is used like a switch to turn
your notebook on and off. It also can suspend
and resume your notebook. (For more informa-
tion on suspend and resume features see Power
Management pages 38-42.)
You can use the power button to turn on your
notebook, to resume from Standby or Save-to-
Disk mode, to place you notebook in Standby
or Save-to-Disk mode or to shut down and
power off. You can also turn off your note-
book by choosing Shut Down from the
Windows 98 Start menu. (For the Power
On procedure see Section Two, page 13.)

Figure 3-1 The Power Button
Power Off
Before turning off the power by choosing
Shut Down from the Windows 98 Start menu
or pressing the power button, check that the
Hard Drive, CD-ROM, PC Card and the Floppy
Disk Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See
Figure 3-3, page 22.) If you turn off the power
while accessing a disk or PC Card, there is a risk
of loss of data. To ensure that your notebook
shuts down without error, use the Windows 98
shut down procedure. You can also power Off
your notebook by pressing the power button
down for four seconds when you are in the sus-
pend mode. If you are not in suspend mode,
you will need to press the power button once
quickly to enter suspend mode, in order to use
this method. This is similar to turning a power
switch to Off. This method is only recommend-
ed if you cannot restart your computer with the
CTRL + ALT + DEL keys.
C A U T I O N
Never turn your 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 with the Power Button. If files
are open when you power off, you will
lose any changes that have not been
saved, and may cause disk errors.
Shutting down your notebook from Windows
98 lets your notebook shut down operations,
and turn off the power in the proper sequence
to prevent errors. The sequence is:
1. Go to the Start button menu.
