■Once the low battery notification mes- sage appears, you need to save all your active data and put your system into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, AC power adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.

■When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you turn off the power or remove all power sources while your LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.

Using heavy current devices such as a modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD- ROM accesses may prevent charging com- pletely.

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 Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.

In Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be main- tained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the charging 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 battery charging icons will blink red to indicate a shorted battery or battery problem. This indicates that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any 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.

Swapping Batteries when Additional Power Source is not Available

To swap batteries in your battery bay when you don’t have another power source available (such as an AC Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)

1.Have a charged battery ready to install.

2.Shut down your notebook.

3.Press and hold the battery release latches to open the bay. (Figure 4-1)
