CAUTION
Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM accesses
may prevent charging completely.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond
to the low battery message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate.
When this happens, your notebook will go into Suspend mode.
There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point.
CAUTION
• Once the low battery notification message appears, you need to save all your active data and
put your LifeBook notebook into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source.
You should provide a charged battery use an AC power adapter as soon as possible.
• When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you
turn off the power with the power switch, or remove all power sources while your LifeBook
notebook is in Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Suspend mode.
Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation
until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have
provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power
source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you
have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook
while an adapter is charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to
display the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means
that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your
LifeBook notebook.
