Status Indicator Panel
The Status Indicator displays symbols that correspond to
a specific component of your Fujitsu LifeBook note-
book. These symbols tell you how each of those compo-
nents 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
I
LifeBook notebook and that it is ready for use.
Flashing: This means that your LifeBook notebook is
I
in Suspend mode.
Steady Off: This means that your system is either in
I
Hibernation mode, or that your LifeBook 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 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.
AC ADAPTER INDICATOR
The AC Adapter indicator states whether your notebook
is operating from the AC adapter, the Auto/Airline
adapter or the batteries. This icon has two different
states that can tell you what power source your LifeBook
notebook is using.
