Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi- cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your LifeBook 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 LifeBook 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- 9 on page 17) 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 LifeBook.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged. (Figure
