USING MEDIA PLAYER ON BATTERY POWER

Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall
battery life will be significantly shorter when operating
the optical 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 charged 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.

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.
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 suspend mode.
6. Restart your media player, locate and skip to the
chapter of the movie you were last watching.

■ 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 don't have an additional
battery, you may purchase one either
online at:
http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com
or by calling 1-877-372-3473.
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.
