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.

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.

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 standby mode.

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

7.Continue watching your DVD movie.

Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life while operating the optical drive cannot be guaranteed.
