provide a source of power either from an adapter or a
charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will
need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume
operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data
will be lost if a power source is not provided promptly. If
the Power indicator stops flashing and goes out, you
have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide
power, you can continue to use your LifeBook notebook
while an adapter is charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the
battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display
the operating level available in that battery. (See figure 2-
9 on page 13) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it
means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced
so it does not damage any other parts of your LifeBook
notebook.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have
a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged. (Figure 4-1)

2. Shut down your LifeBook notebook and disconnect
the AC adapter.
3. Press the battery release latch while lifting the
