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 loose 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 incinerate 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 LifeBook notebook with the AC
adapter whenever possible.
• If your LifeBook notebook 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 LifeBook notebook in Suspend mode
when it is turned on and you are not actually
using it.

notification function.

Media Care

Caring for your Media
(DVD/CD/CD-R/DVD+/-R/DVD+/-RW)
Media discs are precision devices and will
function reliably if given reasonable care.
• Always store your media disc in its case when
it is not in use.
• Always handle discs by the edges and avoid
touching the surface.
• Avoid storing any media discs in extreme
temperatures.
• Do not bend media discs or set heavy objects
on them.
• Do not spill liquids on media discs.
• Do not scratch media discs.
• Do not put a label on media discs.
• Do not get dust on media discs.
• Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint
pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen.
• If a media disc is subjected to a sudden change
in temperature, cold to warm condensation
may form on the surface. Wipe the moisture
off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and let it
dry at room temperature. DO NOT use a hair
dryer or heater to dry media discs.
• If a disc is dirty, use only a DVD/CD cleaner or
wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting
from the inner edge and wiping to the outer
edge.
