USING THE DVD PLAYER ONBATTERY POWER
Since DVD drives consume a lot of power, your overall
battery life will be shorter when operating the DVD drive
continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than
during standard operation. Many movies run-times are
longer than your 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.
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 DVD player.
POINT
For more information on using the Control Panels and
the other options for navigating a movie, review the
CineMaster on-line help file located at C:\ProgramFiles\
Fujitsu\DVDPlayer\DVDPlayer.hlp on your notebook.
CAUTION
Prolonged use of the DVD drive, such as watching a
DVD movie, will substantially reduce your notebook’s
battery life.
CAUTION
Many movies 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.
POINT
An additional full-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 on-line at
FPCDirect.fujitsu-pc.com or call 1-877-FPCDirect
(1-877-372-3473).
