Your LifeBook's power switch must be turned off to pre-
vent all current draw.
AC ADAPTER INDICATOR
The AC Adapter indicator states whether your LifeBook
is operating from the AC adapter, the Auto/Airline
adapter or the batteries. This icon has two different
states that can tell you what power source your LifeBook
is using.
On: This means that either of the adapters are
currently in use.
Off: Power is only coming from the batteries, and
you do not have an adapter connected.
If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator
symbol will remain on, even if your LifeBook is shut off.
The Power indicator symbol will also remain on if you
have an adapter connected and are shut down from
Windows, but have not turned off the power switch.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATORS
The Battery Level indicators state whether or not the
primary Lithium ion battery is installed. In addition,
this symbol states how much charge is available within
the battery. The symbol will only be displayed for a
battery that is currently installed in your LifeBook.

DVD DRIVE ACCESS INDICATOR
The DVD Drive Access indicator tells you that the DVD
drive is being accessed. If the Auto Insert Notification
function is active, the indicator will flash periodically
when your system is checking the DVD drive. If the Auto
Insert Notification function is not active, the indicator
will only flash when you access the DVD drive. The

inserted in the drive and the tray is closed. It will begin
playing an audio DVD/CD or will start an application if
the DVD/CD has an auto-run file.
