27Getting StartedPower 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.SUSPEND/RESUME/POWER ON BUTTONWhen your LifeBook notebook is active, the Suspend/Resume/Power On button can be used to manually put your notebook into Suspend mode. Push the 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 enterSuspend mode. (See figure 2-3 on page 6 for location)If your LifeBook notebook is suspended, pushing the Suspend/Resume/Power On button will return your notebook to active operation. You can tell whether or not your system is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator. (See figure 2-3 on page 6) If the indi-cator is visible and not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the power is off or your notebook is in Hibernation mode.ECO BUTTONThe ECO button is located to the right of the status indi-cator panel. The button is designed to extend system power by reducing the LCD brightness, shutting down the optical drive, PC Card, and IEEE 1394 functionality, and enabling the hard disk drive’s auto power off mode. Pressing the button again restores those functions.The settings for the ECO button can be changed in the Power Saving Utility Setup window. To open the window, use one of the three following methods:■Click [Start] -> [All Programs] -> [Power Saving Utility] -> [Setup - Power Saving Utility], or, ■Click [Start] -> [Control Panel] -> [Performance and Maintenance] -> [Power Options]. Click the Power Saving Utility tab and click [Change Settings] button, or,■Double-click the Power Saving Utility icon in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen. The Power Saving Utility Setting window will appear. 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 Suspend/Resume/Power On 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.You can change the actions the computer takes when the lid is closed or buttons are pressed by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel. Double-click the Power Options icon and select the Advanced tab. Your LifeBook notebook’s system memory typically stores the file(s) on which you are working, open applica-tion(s) information, and any other data required to support the operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation from Suspend mode, your notebook will return to the point where it left off. You must use the Suspend/Resume/Power On 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 Suspend/Resume/Power On button prevents it from being used to put your LifeBook notebook in Suspend or Hibernation mode. The resume function of the button cannot be disabled.■If your LifeBook notebook is actively accessing information when you enter the Suspend or Hibernation 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 Hibernation mode.P7120.book Page 27 Monday, October 10, 2005 4:38 PM

31User Installable FeaturesLithium ion BatteryYour LifeBook notebook has a Lithium ion battery (and possibly an optional modular 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 exceed a low of 5°C (41°F) or a high of 35°C (95°F). Extreme temperatures not only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause battery deterioration. The charging indicator on the Status Indicator panel will flash red for the affected battery (battery 1 or 2) when you try to charge a battery that is outside of operating temperature range. (See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more information)■When using a high current device such as a modem, DVD/CD-RW 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 1 indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator changes as the battery level changes. If you want to know the condition of the secondary modular Lithium ion battery, check the Battery Level 2 indicator located on the Status Indicator panel. 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 27 for more information) 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.■Battery life will vary based on screen brightness, applications, features, power management settings, battery condition and other customer preferences. DVD, CD-RW, CD-ROM, or hard drive usage may also have a significant impact on battery life. The battery charging capac-ity 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. Take care of our environment by disposing of batteries properly. Check with your local govern-ment authority for information on recy-cling or disposing of old batteries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere, contact your support representative at 1-800-8Fujitsu (1-800-838-5487)Make sure that the Battery Charging indica-tor and the percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon on the Status Indicator Panel. (See Battery Charging Indicators on page 12 for more informa-tion)Using heavy current devices such as Modem or frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely.P7120.book Page 31 Monday, October 10, 2005 4:38 PM
32LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section FourDead 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 Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.In Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be main-tained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the charging 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 battery charging icons will blink red to indicate a shorted battery or battery problem. This indicates that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any 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.Swapping Batteries when Additional Power Source is not AvailableTo swap batteries in your battery bay when you don’t have another power source available (such as an AC Adapter or charged modular battery), follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)1. Have a charged battery ready to install.2. Shut down your notebook.3. Press and hold the battery release latches to open the bay. (Figure 4-1)Figure 4-1 Removing the Battery4. Remove the battery from the bay.5. Place the new battery into the bay. (Figure 4-2)6.

Plug in an AC Adapter or install a fully charged modular battery in the Flexible Bay to ensure power is supplied to the system.2. Slide and hold the battery release latches to open the bay.3. Remove the battery from the bay.4. Slide the new battery into the bay.5. Verify that the battery bay latches click into place. ■Once the low battery notification mes-sage appears, you need to save all your active data and put your system into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide a charged battery, 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 turn off the power or 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.If the Lithium ion battery connector is not fully seated, you may not be able to use your notebook or charge your battery.Battery Release LatchesP7120.book Page 32 Monday, October 10, 2005 4:38 PM

36LifeBook P7000 Notebook – Section FourUSING THE OPTICAL DRIVE ON BATTERY POWERSince an optical drive consumes a lot of power, your overall battery life will be shorter when operating the 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 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 DVD/CD-RW application. 4. Connect an AC Adapter to your system, or install a fully charged battery in the Flexible Bay (after removing any modular devices that may be present in the bay) prior to removing the main battery. 5. Manually place your notebook into suspend mode by depressing the Suspend button then replace the discharged battery with a fully-charged battery. 6. If you removed the optical drive from the Flexible Bay in step 4, reinstall it now.7. Resume your notebook by pressing the Suspend button again. This step is not required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode.8. Restart your DVD/CD-RW application and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching.9. Continue watching your DVD movie.AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTIONThe Auto Insert Notification function allows your Life-Book notebook to automatically start a DVD/CD as soon as it is inserted in the optical drive and the tray is closed. Your notebook will begin playing an audio DVD/CD or will start an application if the DVD/CD includes an auto run file.To prevent a CD from playing automatically as soon as it is inserted, refer to the related help file for your specific operating system.EMERGENCY TRAY RELEASEIn the event that your system does not have power applied, you can still open the media tray using the end of an opened paper clip. To open the tray, insert the paper clip into the emergency tray release hole on the fact of the tray (Figure 4-7). The tray will pop open.Figure 4-7 Using the Emergency Tray Release■Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as when watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your note-book’s battery life.■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 on-line at us.fujitsu.com/computers or call 1-877-372-3473.If you do not stop the optical drive quickly and the LifeBook notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the notebook will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to install a fresh power source (either a charged battery or AC Adapter).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.P7120.book Page 36 Monday, October 10, 2005 4:38 PM
