Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi- cator just like the normal Suspend 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 Power/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- 10 on page 12) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage other parts of your LifeBook notebook.

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. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold- swapping and hot-swapping:

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.

3.Orient the notebook with the battery closest to you (Figure 4-1).

4.While pushing the battery bay release latch away from the battery pack (Figure 4-1), slide the battery bay lift latch to the left to reveal the bright orange sticker.

5.While continuing to push the battery bay release latch, slide a fingernail under the battery at the orange label and lift the battery out of the bay.

6.Insert a new battery into the bay, and press it down so that the latches click into place. Slide the lift latch back to the right to cover the orange sticker.

7.Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.

Hot-swapping Batteries

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

Be sure to plug in an AC Adapter prior to removing the battery. There is no bridge battery present to support the system while the battery is being replaced. If you do not use an AC Adapter you will lose any unsaved files.

1.Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet.
