User-Installable Features
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional fully-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 optical player
.
4. Manually place your notebook into Sleep mode by
depressing the Suspend button. Plug in a power
adapter and replace the discharged battery with an
additional fully-charged battery. If you do not have
an additional battery, you may use the AC power
adapter as your power source to continue watching
the movie while recharging the installed battery.
5. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend
button again. This step is not required if you
attached AC power without entering Sleep mode.
6. Restart your optical drive, locate and skip to the
chapter of the movie you were last watching.
7. Continue watching your DVD movie.
AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTION
The Auto Insert Notification function allows your Life-
Book notebook to automatically start a DVD/CD as soon
as it is inserted in the optical drive and the tray is closed.
Your notebook will begin playing an audio DVD/CD or
will start an application if the DVD/CD includes an auto
run file.
To prevent a CD from playing automatically as soon as it
is inserted, refer to the related help file for your specific
operating system.
■
Prolonged use of the optical drive, such
as watching a DVD movie, will
substantially reduce your 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 battery is 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:
www.shopfujitsu.com or call 1-877-
372-3473.
If you don’t stop the optical drive quickly
and the notebook attempts to auto-
suspend (critical battery low state) the
notebook will shut down improperly. If this
occurs, you will need to power the system
up with the power/suspend/resume button
and follow any instructions that appear.
Some 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.
