Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi- cator just like the normal Standby mode. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery.

(See figure 2-11 on page 13) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your notebook.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

Your LifeBook B6200 Series notebook comes with one battery pack, but it’s a good idea to purchase a second one. By keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can immediately swap with one that is not charged. The battery can only be replaced by cold-swapping; doing otherwise could result in loss of data. (Cold swapping means swapping batteries when the system has been powered down.)

Cold-swapping Batteries

To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)

1.Have a charged battery ready to install.

2.Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.
