Figure 2-9. Status Indicator Panel

Status Indicator Panel

The Status Indicator displays symbols that correspond with a specific component of your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. These symbols tell you how each of those components are operating. (Figure 2-9)

POWER INDICATOR

The Power indicator symbol states whether your system is operational. It has several different states, each of which tells you the mode your notebook is in.

Steady On: This means that there is power to your notebook and that it is ready for use.

Flashing: This means that your notebook is in Standby mode.

Steady Off: This means that your system is either in Save-to-Disk mode, or that your notebook has been turned off.

If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator will remain on even if your notebook is shut off. The Power indicator will also remain on if you have either adapter connected and are shut down from Windows.

AC ADAPTER INDICATOR

The AC Adapter indicator states whether your notebook is operating from the AC adapter, Auto/Airline adapter or battery. This icon has two different states that can tell you what power source your notebook is using.

On: This means that either of the adapters are currently in use.

Off: Power is only coming from the battery and you do not have an adapter connected.

BATTERY LEVEL INDICATORS

The two Battery Level indicators shows whether or not the primary Lithium ion battery and/or the optional secondary Lithium ion battery is installed. Battery 1 refers to the primary battery; battery 2 refers to the Flex- ible Bay optional secondary battery. In addition, this symbol states how much charge is available within each installed battery. The symbol will only be displayed for a battery that is currently installed in your notebook. (Figure 2-10)
