BATTERIES

Caring for your Batteries
Always handle batteries carefully.
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they
may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects.
Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery.
Recharge batteries only as described in this manual
and only in ventilated areas.
Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6
months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
Power your Fujitsu LifeBook through the AC or
optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.
If your Fujitsu LifeBook is running on battery power
all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight to
recharge the battery.
Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.
Set the power management for maximum battery life.
Put your Fujitsu LifeBook in Suspend mode when it is
turned on and you are not actually using it.
Limit your DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM access.
Disable the Windows CD auto insert notification func-
tion.
Always use fully charged batteries.
