USING MEDIA PLAYER ON BATTERY POWER

Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when operating the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movies

U s e r I n s t a l l a b l e F e a t u r e s

run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a single charged 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.

■Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will greatly reduce your notebook’s battery life.

■Many movie run-times are longer than your system 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.

■An additional fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on battery power. If you don’t have an additional battery, you may purchase one either online at www.shopfujitsu.com or by calling 1-800-FUJITSU.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

1.Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.

2.Start watching your DVD movie.

3.When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the media player.

If you do not stop the media player quickly and the LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the LifeBook notebook will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to perform a hard reset and follow the instructions, if any, presented to you before the system will reboot.

4.Power down your notebook and replace the discharged battery with a fully-charged battery. If you don’t have an additional battery, attach AC power as soon as you see the low battery warning.

5.Resume your LifeBook notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This is not required if you attached AC power without entering standby mode.

6.Restart your media player, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.

7.Continue watching your DVD movie.

Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life while operating the optical drive cannot be guaranteed.
