- Optical Drive
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 movie run-times are longer than your 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.
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.
4 Power down your notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-charged battery. If you
do not have an additional battery, you may 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.
• 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:
HTTP://WWW.COMPUTERS.US.FUJITSU.COM OR BY CALLING 1-877-372-3473.
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.
I
F THIS OCCURS, YOU MAY NEED TO PERFORM A HARD RESET AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, IF ANY,
PRESENTED TO YOU BEFORE THE SYSTEM WILL REBOOT.
