Starting Your LIFEBOOK Notebook
Power On
Power/Suspend/Resume Button
The Power/Suspend/Resume button is used to turn on your LIFEBOOK notebook from its off state. Once you have
connected your AC adapter or charged the internal Lithium ion battery, you can power on your LIFEBOOK notebook.
To turn on your LIFEBOOK notebook from its off state, press the Power/Suspend/Resume button, located above the
keyboard to the right. When you are done working you can either leave your notebook in Suspend mode (see “Sleep
Mode” on page 38), or you can turn it off (see “Powering Off” on page 40).
When you power on your LIFEBOOK, it will perform a Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and
configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found, your LIFEBOOK notebook will emit an audio warning and/or
an error message will be displayed. See “Power On Self Test Messages” on page 71. Depending on the nature of the
problem, you may be able to continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS setup utility and
revising the settings.
After satisfactory completion of the POST, your notebook will load your operating system.
WHEN YOU TURN ON YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK, BE SURE YOU HAVE A POWER SOURCE. THIS MEANS THAT A BATTERY IS INSTALLED AND
CHARGED, OR THAT THE AC OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER IS CONNECTED AND HAS POWER.
D
O NOT CARRY YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK AROUND WITH THE POWER ON OR SUBJECT IT TO SHOCKS OR VIBRATION, AS YOU RISK DAMAGING YOUR
NOTEBOOK.
