If you do not want it active, select Disable.USING MEDIA PLAYER ON BATTERY POWERSince optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when operating the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. 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.S7010.book Page 39 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM
40LifeBook S7000 NotebookLithium 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, Multi-Format DVD Writer, 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, Multi-For-mat DVD Writer, 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.S7010.book Page 40 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM
41User Installable FeaturesDead 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 2-9 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 4-3)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 4-3).4. Continue to press the latch release button away from the battery pack, and lift the battery out of the bay by inserting a thumbnail under the edge of the battery at the lift slot.5. Slide a 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 4-3)1. Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet.Figure 4-3. 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 Battery PackRelease LatchLift SlotS7010.book Page 41 Wednesday, October 20, 2004 9:14 AM

66LifeBook S7000 NotebookRestoring Your Pre-installed SoftwareThe Drivers and Applications Restore (DAR) DVD contains sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific directories) that are unique to your computer configuration for use as documented below.Re-Installing Individual Drivers and Applications The Drivers and Applications DVD can be used to selectively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have been un-installed or corrupted. To re-install drivers and/or applications:1. Boot up the system and insert the DAR DVD after Windows has started. A Fujitsu Installer screen is displayed after the DVD is inserted.2. After reading the License Agreement, click [I agree].3. A window will appear containing a list of applica-tions, drivers, and utilities that you can install from the Drivers and Applications DVD.4. In the list, check off all the components you want to install. If you want to install all components, click [Select All]. Clicking [Select All] will select all of the blue-coded components; you must select grey and green components separately.5. Once you have selected the components you wish to install, click [Install Selected Subsystems]; the components will be installed.6. After the components are installed, click [OK], then click [Yes] when asked if you want to reboot the system. RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGEThe Restore DVD that came with your system contains two utilities:■The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original contents of the C: drive.■The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.BOOT Priority ChangeBefore restoring an image, you must first verify that your system is set up to boot from the DVD drive. To verify/change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive), perform the following steps:1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup Utility.2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.3.

This type of communication uses an access point.Another type of communication is called AdHoc.IP AddressAn identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address. Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates. The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. Three regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following three classes. Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks The number of unassigned Internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme called CIDR is gradually replacing the system based on classes A, B, and C and is tied to adoption of IPv6.
