C A U T I O N

Many movies 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, add a 2nd modular battery or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety.

P O I N T

An additional full-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 FPCDirect.fujitsu-pc.com or call 1-877-FPCDirect (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.

3.When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the DVD player.

C A U T I O N

If you do not stop the DVD player quickly and the notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the notebook will shutdown 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.Manually place your notebook into suspend mode by depressing the Suspend button and replace the discharged battery with an additional full-charged battery. Or 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 notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This step is not required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode.

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

7.Continue watching your DVD movie.

P O I N T

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 DVD drive cannot be guaranteed.
