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 “Standby (Sleep) Mode” on page 46), or you can turn it off (see “Powering Off” on
page 49).
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 90.
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.
