- 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.
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 operation 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, then continue
watching your DVD movie.
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 DONT HAVE AN ADDITIONAL BATTERY, YOU MAY PURCHASE ONE
EITHER ONLINE AT: HTTP://WWW.COMPUTERS.US.FUJITSU.COM OR BY CALLING 1-877-372-3473.
I
F 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.
S
OME 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.
