Many movies run-times are longer than your system
can support on a single battery. If you are watching a
DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in
an additional, charged battery or attach AC power
during the movie to view it in its entirety.
P O I N T
An additional full-charged battery is highly
recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on
battery power. If you don't have an additional battery,
you may purchase one either on-line at
FPCDirect.fujitsupc.com or call 1-877-FPCDirect
(1-877-372-3473).
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your
AC adapter ready for use.
2. Start watching your DVD movie.
3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately
stop the movie and exit the DVD player.
C A U T I O N
If you do not stop the DVD player quickly and the
notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low
state) the notebook will shut down improperly. If this
occurs, you will need to perform a hard reset and follow
the instruction, if any, presented to you before the
system will reboot.
4. Manually place your LifeBook notebook into
suspend mode by depressing the Suspend button
and replace the discharged battery with an addi-
tional full-charged battery. If you do not have an
additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon
as you see the low battery warning.
5. Resume your notebook by pressing the Power and
Suspend/Resume button again. This step is not
required if you attached AC power without entering
suspend mode.
6. Restart your DVD player, locate and skip to the
chapter of the movie you were last watching.
7. Continue watching your DVD movie.
P O I N T
Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap
batteries or attach AC power to complete them.
However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery
life while operating the DVD cannot be guaranteed.
