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 system while an adapter is charging the battery.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

Your LifeBook P1600 Series notebook comes with one battery pack; you might want to consider purchasing a spare. By keeping a spare battery fully charged, you can immediately swap with one that is not charged.

There are two ways to swap batteries: cold-swapping and hot-swapping. Cold-swapping means swapping batteries when the system has been powered down; hot-swapping is performed when the system is powered by AC power.

Cold-swapping batteries

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

1.Have a charged battery ready to install.

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

3.Lift the display enough to pull the display latch from the slot.

4.Press the battery release latches to open the compartment.

5.Remove the battery from the compartment.

6.Slide the new battery into the compartment.

7.Close the compartment and the battery release latches will click into place.

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

Hot-swapping Batteries

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

1.Close any open files and put your system into Standby mode.

2.Connect an AC adapter or Auto/Airline power adapter to provide power to the system.

3.Lift the display enough to pull the display latch from the slot.

4.Press the battery release latches inward to open the compartment.
