USING THE OPTICAL DRIVE
ON BATTERY POWER
Since an optical drive consumes a lot of power, your
overall battery life will be shorter when operating the
drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than
during standard operation. Many movies run-times are
longer than your LifeBook notebook 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.
Prolonged use of the optical drive,
■
such as when watching a DVD movie,
will substantially reduce your note-
book's battery life.
An additional fully-charged battery is
■
highly recommended if you will be
watching DVD movies on battery
power. If you don't have an additional
battery, you may purchase one either
on-line at us.fujitsu.com/computers
or call 1-877-372-3473.
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.
