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.
■ Prolonged use of the optical drive, such
as watching a DVD movie, will greatly
reduce your notebook's battery life.
Many movie 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.
An additional fully-charged battery is
■
highly recommended if you will be
watching DVD movies on battery
power. If you do not have an additional
battery, you may purchase one either
online at: www.shopfujitsu.com
or by calling 1-800-FUJITSU
(1-800-385-4878).
U s e r I n s t a l l a b l e F e a t u r e s
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 media player.
If you do not stop the media player quickly
and the LifeBook notebook attempts to
auto-suspend (critical battery low state)
the LifeBook 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. Power down your LifeBook notebook and replace
the discharged battery with an additional fully-
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 LifeBook notebook by pressing the
Suspend button again. This is not required if you
attached AC power without entering standby mode.
6. Restart your media player, locate and skip to the
chapter of the movie you were last watching.
7. Continue watching your DVD movie.
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 optical drive cannot be
guaranteed.
