SECTION THREE

USING YOUR LIFEBOOK C SERIES
FROM FUJITSU
This section describes the indicators, buttons,
connections, operating modes, and software of
your LifeBook C Series and their uses.

POWER BUTTON

The power button is located above the key-
board to the right of the Status Indicator Panel.
It is used like a switch to turn your notebook
on and off. It also can suspend and resume
your notebook. (For more information on
suspend and resume features see Power
Management pages 38-42.)
You can use the power button to turn on your
notebook, to resume from Standby or Save-to-
Disk mode, to place you notebook in Standby
or Save-to-Disk mode or to shut down and
power off. You can also turn off your note-
book by choosing Shut Down from the
Windows 98 Start menu. (For the Power On
procedure see Section Two, page 13.)

Power Off

Before turning off the power by choosing Shut
Down from the Windows 98 Start menu or
pressing the power button, check that the Hard
Drive, CD-ROM, PC Card and the Floppy Disk
Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See Figure
3-3, page 22.) If you turn off the power while
accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of
loss of data. To assure that your notebook shuts
down without error, use the Windows 98 shut
down procedure. You can also power Off your
notebook by holding the Power Button down
for four seconds. This is similar to turning a
power switch to Off. This method is only rec-
ommended if you cannot restart your comput-
er with the CTRL + ALT + DEL keys.
C A U T I O N
Never turn your notebook off while an
application is running. Be sure to close all
files, exit all applications and shut down
your operating system prior to turning off
the power with the Power Button. If files
are open when you power off, you will
lose any changes that have not been
saved, and may cause disk errors.
Shutting down your notebook from Windows
98 lets your notebook shut down operations,
and turn off the power in the proper sequence
to prevent errors. The sequence is:
1. Go to the Start button menu.
2. Click on Shut down.
3. Verify that Shut down
is selected and click on Yes.
If you are going to store your notebook for a
month or more, take the following precautions:
