Power Management
Your LifeBook P Series notebook/Tablet PC 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 operating conditions, such as those for the display
brightness. Internal power management for your notebook/Tablet PC may be controlled from settings made in
your operating system, pre-bundled power management
application, or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.
Power Mode
Fully On Mode
Besides the options available for conserving battery
power, there are also some things that you can do to
prevent your system battery from running down as
quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate
power saving profile, put your system into Standby
mode when it is 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
between performance and power savings.

SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON
STANDBY MODE
When your notebook/Tablet PC is active, the Suspend/
Resume button can be used to manually put your system
into Standby mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button
when your notebook/Tablet PC is active, but not actively
accessing anything, and immediately release the button.
You will hear two short beeps and your system will enter
Standby mode. (See figure 2-6 on page 11 for location).
Standby mode in Windows saves the contents of your
notebook/Tablet PC’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 system can be put in Standby mode by:
If your notebook/Tablet PC is suspended, pushing the
Suspend/Resume button will return your system to
active operation. You can tell whether or not your
system is in Standby mode by looking at the Power indicator. See “” on page 14. If the indicator is visible and not
flashing, your system is fully operational. If the indicator
is both visible and flashing, your system is in Standby
mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off
or your system is in Hibernate mode (See Hibernate
Mode)

operation from Standby mode, your system will return
to the point where it left off. To resume operation, you
must use the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation, and there must be an adequate power source available, or your system will not resume.
If you are running your notebook/Tablet
PC on battery power, be aware that the
battery continues to discharge while your
system is in Standby mode, though not as
fast as when fully operational.
HIBERNATE MODE
The Hibernate mode saves the contents of your
notebook/Tablet PC’s system memory to the hard drive
as a part of the Suspend/Resume mode. Your system is
pre-configured to perform this function. The Hibernate
mode can also be configured through the system BIOS
to run in other ways depending on what you need to
accomplish. See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 30.
■
Standby or Hibernate modes should not
be used with certain PC Cards. Check
your PC Card documentation for more
information.
■
Disabling the Suspend/Resume button
prevents it from being used to put your
notebook/Tablet PC in Standby or
Hibernate mode. The resume function of
the button cannot be disabled.
■
If your notebook/Tablet PC is actively
accessing information when you enter
Standby or Hibernate mode, changes to
open files are not lost. The files are left
open and memory is kept active during
Standby mode or the memory is transferred to the hard drive during Hibernate
mode.
■
When PC Cards or external devices are
in use, Save-to-Disk mode cannot return
to the exact state prior to suspension,
because all peripheral devices will be reinitialized when the system restarts.
■
The main advantage of using Hibernate
mode is that power is not required to
maintain your data. This is very important if you will be leaving your system in
a suspended state for a prolonged
period of time. The drawback of using
Hibernate mode is that it lengthens the
power down and power up sequences
and resets peripheral devices.
Using Hibernate Mode
Hibernate default setting is enabled for Windows XP.
To enable or disable the Hibernation feature follow these
easy steps:
1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel -> Power
Options.
2. Select the Hibernate tab and then select the box to
enable or disable this feature.
To use Hibernate mode with your system:
1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel -> Power
Options.
2. Select the Power Schemes tab and in the System
hibernates boxes, select the amount of time you
want to elapse until the system goes into hibernation
(when plugged in and when running on battery
power).
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 Suspend/Resume
button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows
Power Management.
HARD DISK TIMEOUT
The 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
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows.
WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT
The Power Options icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the
Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off
the display and hard disks whether you are running the
notebook/Tablet PC on battery power or one of the
adapters.
RESTARTING THE SYSTEM
If 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 Turn Off
Computer.
2. Select the Restart button from within the Turn Off
Computer window.

User-Installable Features
Lithium ion Battery
Your LifeBook P Series notebook/Tablet PC has a
Lithium ion battery that provides power for operating
your notebook/Tablet PC 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 lower than 41° F (5° C) or
higher than 95° F (35° C). Extreme temperatures not
only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause
battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the Status
Indicator panel will flash when you try to charge a
battery that is outside its operating temperature range.
See “” on page 14.
When using a high current device such as a modem,
CD-ROM drive, or hard drive, using the AC adapter
will conserve your battery life.
■
■
Do not leave a faulty battery in your system. It may damage your AC adapter,
optional Auto/Airline adapter, or your
notebook/Tablet PC itself. It may also
prevent operation of your notebook/
Tablet PC by draining all available current into the bad battery.
Under federal, state, or local law it may
be illegal to dispose of batteries by
putting them in the trash. Please take
care of our environment and dispose of
batteries properly. Check with your local
government authority for details
regarding recycling or disposing of old
batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support
representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu.
Actual battery life will vary based on
screen brightness, applications, features,
power management settings, battery
condition and other customer preferences.
CD-ROM drive 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.
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 notebook/Tablet PC and connect the
AC or Auto/Airline adapter.
Make sure that the Battery Charging
indicator and the Battery Level indicator
icon on the Status Indicator Panel light.
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
longer if your system is in use while the battery is
charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly,
put your system into Standby mode, or turn it off while
the adapter is charging the battery. See “Power Management” on page 32.
Using heavy current devices such as a
modem or frequent CD-ROM and
PCMCIA powered external device accesses
may prevent charging completely.
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, the Battery Level indicator will glow red. If you do not respond to the low
battery alarm, the batteries will continue to discharge
until they are too low to operate. Your notebook/Tablet
PC will then go into Standby mode to try and protect
your data for as long as possible. There is no guarantee
that your data will not be lost once the system reaches
this point.
■
Once the low battery indicator appears
you must save all your data and put your
notebook/Tablet PC into Standby mode
until you can provide a new power
source. You should provide a charged
battery or AC or Auto/Airline Adapter as
soon as possible.
■
When you are in Standby mode there
must always be at least one power
source active. If you remove all power
sources while your notebook/Tablet PC
is in Standby mode, any data that has
not been saved to the hard drive will be
lost.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
If you want to know the condition of the Lithium ion
battery, check the Battery Level indicator located on the
Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the
battery level changes.
