USING THE DRIVE ON BATTERY POWER

Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be shorter when operating the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie). Many movie run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook 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 or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety.
