17Getting to Know Your LifeBookVolume ControlYour Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other. CONTROLLING THE VOLUMEThe volume can be controlled in several different ways:■Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on the Taskbar.■Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 func-tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the volume of your notebook.■Volume can be controlled by many volume controls that are set within individual applications.■Certain external audio devices you might connect to your system may have hardware volume controls.Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other sources. We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.Any software that contains audio files will also contain a volume control of its own. If you install an external audio device that has an independent volume control, the hardware volume control and the software volume control will interact with each other. It should be noted that if you set your software volume to Off, you will override the external volume control setting. There are 26 levels through which the function keys cycle.

When you are done working you can either leave your LifeBook notebook in Suspend mode, (See Suspend Mode on page 32 for more information), or you can turn it off (See Power Off on page 33 for more information). 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 64 for more information) 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 Power On Self Test (POST), your notebook will load your operating system.BOOT SEQUENCEThe procedure for starting up your notebook is called the Bootup sequence and involves your notebook’s BIOS. When your LifeBook notebook is first turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it needs to find instructions to start up your notebook. This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you power up or restart your notebook, it goes through a boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your operating system is loaded. During booting, your notebook is performing a standard boot sequence including a Power On Self Test (POST). If the sequence is completed without a failure and without a request for the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating system’s opening screen.The boot sequence is executed when:■You turn on the power to your LifeBook notebook.■You restart your notebook from the WindowsShut Down dialog box.■The software initiates a system restart. Example:When you install a new application.■You reset the system by pressing [CTRL+ALT+DEL]. BIOS SETUP UTILITYThe BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the operating environment for your LifeBook notebook. Your BIOS is set at the factory for normal operating conditions, therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’ environment to operate your notebook.The BIOS Setup Utility configures:■Device control feature parameters, such as changingI/O addresses and boot devices.■System Data Security feature parameters, such as passwords.Entering the BIOS Setup UtilityTo enter the BIOS Setup Utility do the following: 1. Turn on or restart your LifeBook notebook.2. Press the [F2] key once the Fujitsu logo appears on the screen. This will open the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility with the current settings displayed.3. Press the [RIGHT ARROW] or [LEFT ARROW] key to scroll through the other setup menus to review or alter the current settings.BIOS GuideA guide to your notebook’s BIOS is available online.

32LifeBook S7000 NotebookPower ManagementYour Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these features are automatic and need no user intervention, such as those for the internal modem. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit your oper-ating conditions, such as those for the display bright-ness. Internal power management for your notebook may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent your battery from running down as quickly.For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your notebook into Suspend mode when itis not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off betweenperformance and power savings.POWER/SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTONWhen your LifeBook notebook is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to manually put your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing anything, and immediately release the button. You will hear two short beeps and your system will enter Suspend mode. (See figure 2-4 on page 6 for location)If your LifeBook is suspended, pushing the Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-4 on page 6) If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode. (See Hibernation Feature)SUSPEND MODESuspend or Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your LifeBook notebook’s system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the hard drive, and all of the other internal components except those necessary to maintain system memory and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be put in Suspend mode by:■Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button when your system is turned on.■Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.■Timing out from lack of activity.■Allowing the battery to reach the Dead BatteryWarning condition.Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the file on which you are working, open application informa-tion, and any other data required to support operations in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your notebook will not resume.■If you are running your LifeBook note-book on battery power, be aware that the battery continues to discharge while your notebook is in Suspend mode, though not as fast as when fully opera-tional. ■Disabling the Power/Suspend/Resume button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode. The resume function of the button can-not be disabled.■The Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode should not be used with cer-tain PC Cards. Check your PC Card doc-umentation for more information. When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode cannot return to the exact state prior to suspen-sion, because all of the peripheral devices will be re-initialized when the system restarts.■If your LifeBook notebook is actively accessing information when you enter the Suspend or Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) mode, changes to open files are not lost. The files are left open and memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during Hiberna-tion mode.The main advantage of using the Hibernation (Save-to-Disk) function is that power is not required to maintain your data. This is particularly important if you will be leaving your LifeBook notebook in a suspended state for a prolonged period of time. The drawback of using Hibernation mode is that it lengthens the power down and power up sequences and resets peripheral devices.S Series.book Page 32 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM
33Getting StartedHIBERNATION (SAVE-TO-DISK) FEATUREThe Hibernation feature saves the contents of yourLifeBook notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. You can enable or disable this feature. Enable or Disable the Hibernation FeatureThe default settings is not enabled. To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these easy steps:1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel.2. From the Control Panel select Power Options.3. Select the Hibernation tab. Select the box to enable or disable this feature.Using the Hibernation Feature1. From the Start menu, select Settings, and then select Control Panel.2. From the Control Panel select Power Options.3. Select the Advanced tab. Select Hibernate from the pull down menu for Power buttons.DISPLAY TIMEOUT The Video Timeout is one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer activity will cause the display to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Power/Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)HARD DISK TIMEOUTThe Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power management parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive activity for the user selected timeout period. Any attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart automatically. This feature is independent of the Power/Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT Power ManagementThe Power Management icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some power management settings. For example, you can use Power Management to set the timeout values for turning off the display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters. The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)RESTARTING THE SYSTEMIf your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure. 1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.3. Click OK to restart your notebook. Your notebook will shut down and then reboot.POWER OFFBefore turning off the power, check that the Hard Drive, optical drive, PC Card, and Floppy Disk indicators are all Off. (See figure 2-4 on page 6). If you power-off while accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that the notebook shuts down without error, use the Windows shutdown procedure.Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down or Turn Off Computer.2. Select the Shut Down option from within the Windows Shut Down dialog box.3. Click OK to shut down your notebook.If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more see Care and Maintenance Section. Turning off your notebook without exiting Windows, or turning it on within 10 seconds of being shut off may cause an error when you start the next time. Be sure to close all files, exit all applications, and shut down your operating system prior to turning off the power. If files are open when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.S Series.book Page 33 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM

37User Installable FeaturesLithium ion BatteryYour LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating your notebook when no external power source is available. The battery is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or other hazards.The Lithium ion battery operating time may become shorter if it is used under the following conditions:■When used at temperatures that exceeds a low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status Indi-cator panel will flash when you try to charge a battery that is outside its operating temperature range. (See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more information)■When using a high current device such as a modem, Super-Multi DVD drive, CD-ROM drive, DVD/CD-RW combo drive, or the hard drive, using the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.RECHARGING THE BATTERIESIf you want to know the condition of the primary Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes.The Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your LifeBook notebook and connect the AC or Auto/Airline adapter.There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.(See Power Management on page 32 for more information on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure)Low Battery StateWhen the battery is running low, a low battery notifica-tion message will appear. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook will go into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reaches this point.Do not leave a faulty battery in your LifeBook notebook. It may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline adapter, another battery or your notebook itself. It may also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all available current into the bad battery.■Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, fea-tures, power management settings, bat-tery condition and other customer preferences. CD-ROM drive, Super-Multi DVD drive, DVD/CD-RW drive combo, or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery ages. If your battery is running low quickly, you should replace it with a new one.■Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dispose of batteries by put-ting them in the trash. Please take care of our environment and dispose of bat-teries properly. Check with your local government authority for details regard-ing recycling or disposing of old batter-ies. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support repre-sentative at 1-800-8FUJITSU (1-800-838-5487)Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel.Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely.■Once the low battery notification mes-sage appears, you need to save all your active data and put your LifeBook note-book into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, an AC power adapter, or Auto/Airline adapter as soon as possible.■ When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you remove all power sources while your LifeBook notebook is in Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.S Series.book Page 37 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM
38LifeBook S7000 NotebookDead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.Shorted BatteriesThe 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 2-10 on page 11) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage 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. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-swapping and hot-swapping:Cold-swapping BatteriesTo cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)1. Have a charged battery ready to install.2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.3. Unlock the battery bay release latch by pushing the latch release away from the battery pack and sliding the battery bay release latch towards the latch release (Figure 4-1).4. Continue to press the latch release button away from the battery pack, and lift the battery out of the bay.5. Slide the new battery into the bay.6. Slide the battery bay release latch back to its original position to lock the battery into place.8. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on. Hot-swapping BatteriesTo hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)1. Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet.Figure 4-1. Removing a Battery2. Follow steps 3 through 5 in “Cold Swapping Batteries”. Be sure to plug in an AC Adapter prior to removing the battery. There is no bridge battery present to support the system while the battery is being replaced. If you do not use an AC Adapter you will lose any unsaved files.If the Lithium ion battery connector is not fully seated, you may not be able to use your notebook or charge your battery.Latch ReleaseBattery Bay Release LatchGraphic to comeS Series.book Page 38 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM

Many movies run-times are longer than your LifeBook notebook can support on a single charged 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. To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:1. Have an additional full-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 media player. 4. Power down your LifeBook notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-charged battery. If you do not have an additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon as you see the low battery warning.5. Resume your LifeBook notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This is not required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode.6. Restart your media player, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.7. Continue watching your DVD movie.■Media discs which do not have the Dolby Surround 5:1 symbol will not support Dolby Headphone.■After making changes to the Dolby Headphone feature and clicking OK, wait at least ten seconds before making another change in order to allow the system to stabilize.■Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will greatly reduce your notebook’s 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 fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on battery power. If you don’t have an additional battery, you may purchase one either online at us.fujitsu.com/computers or by calling 1-877-372-3473.If you do not stop the media player quickly and the LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the LifeBook notebook will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to perform a hard reset and follow the instruction, if any, presented to you before the system will reboot.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.S Series.book Page 41 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM

Remove the disk.PREPARING A DISK FOR USEBefore you can use a new disk, it needs to be preparedso your LifeBook notebook knows where to store infor-mation. This preparation is called formatting or initial-izing a disk. You will need to format new disks, unless they are preformatted. (Please refer to your operating system manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a disk) To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a disk, slide the “write protect” tab until a small hole is exposed. This sets the disk into a protected state where nothing can be added or removed. If you want to add or remove data on a protected disk, slide the “write protect” tab to close the small hole. (Figure 4-5)Figure 4-5. Floppy Disk Write ProtectEject ButtonYour LifeBook notebook is preconfigured to boot from a USB floppy drive. Refer-ence the BIOS manual for further informa-tion on changing the default boot drive. The BIOS manual can be found on the Fujitsu Computer Systems web site: us.fujitsu.com/computers, under Support.When there is no disk in the drive, the Eject button is flush with your notebook.If you eject the disk while the Floppy Disk Drive Access indicator is active, there is a risk of damaging the data on the disk, the disk itself or even the disk drive.Formatting a floppy disk that already con-tains data will erase all of the information on the disk.Write ProtectedWrite EnabledS Series.book Page 42 Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:15 PM
