LifeBook E Series – Section Two
Figure 2-8 Status Indicator Panel
Status Indicator Panel
The Status Indicator panel is located in the recess just
above your keyboard. Within this panel are symbols that
correspond with a specific component of your LifeBook
Series notebook. These symbols tell you how each of
those components are operating. (Figure 2-8)
POWER INDICATOR
The Power indicator symbol states whether your
system is operational. It has several different states,
each of which tells you what mode your notebook is
in at that time.
■
Steady On: This means that there is power to your
notebook and that it is ready for use.
■
Flashing: This means that your notebook is in
Suspend mode.
■
Steady Off: This means that your system is either in
Save-to-Disk mode, or that your notebook has been
turned off with the power switch.
If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator
symbol will remain on even if your notebook is shut off.
The Power indicator symbol will also remain on if you
have either adapter connected and are shut down from
Windows, but have not turned off the power switch.
AC ADAPTER INDICATOR
The AC Adapter indicator states whether your notebook
is operating from the AC adapter, the Auto/Airline
adapter or the batteries. This icon has two different
states that can tell you what power source your notebook
is using.
■
On: This means that either of the adapters are
currently in use.
■
Off: Power is only coming from the batteries, and
you do not have an adapter connected.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATORS
The two Battery Level indicators state whether or not the
primary Lithium Ion battery and/or the optional second
Lithium Ion battery are installed (Battery 1 refers to the
primary Lithium Ion battery, while Battery 2 refers to
the Flexible Bay optional second battery). In addition,
this symbol states how much charge is available within
each installed battery. The symbol will only be displayed
for a battery that is currently installed in your notebook.
