The Status Indicator displays symbols that correspond
with a specific component of your Fujitsu LifeBook
notebook. These symbols tell you how each of those
components are operating. (Figure 2-8)
POWER INDICATOR
The Power indicator symbol states whether your system
is operational. It has several different states, each of
which tells you the mode your notebook is in.
Steady On: This means that there is power to your
■
LifeBook notebook and that it is ready for use.
Flashing: This means that your notebook is in Standby
■
mode.
Steady Off: This means that your system is either in
■
Save-to-Disk mode, or that your notebook has been
turned off.
If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator will
remain on even if your notebook is shut off. The Power
indicator will also remain on if you have either adapter
connected and are shut down from Windows.
