ENERGY STAR®

Compliance

Notice to Users of Radios and

Television

(The following is pending

certicationattime o f publication). Your Fujitsu

system is an ENERGY STAR® quali ed

mobile PC. By choosing a computer with

the latest energysaving technology, you’re

helping to preserve our environment for future

generations.ENERGY STAR is a joint program

of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

U.S. Department of Energy, Natural Resources

Canada, and other governments around the

world helping us save money while protecting

the environment through energy ef cient

products and practices. With energy costs and

global warming top-of-mind for consumers,

Fujitsu is committed to offering solutions that

help consumers conserve energy and improve

the quality of our environment.

Sleep Mode:

You will notice that your computer is initially set

so that the display turns off after 15 minutes

of user inactivity, and the computer goes into

Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity.

When going into Sleep mode, the computer

also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet

network links. To “wake” the computer from

Sleep mode, press the Suspend/ Resume

Button.

Energy saving beneﬁts:

Fujitsu ENERGY STAR quali ed mobile PCs

use about half as much electricity as standard

equipment – saving half in utility costs. But

more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a

difference for the environment. Did you know

that the average house can be responsible for

twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the

average car? Thats because every time you ip

on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn

on your PC, you use energy, which means more

greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.

So the more energy we can save through

energy ef ciency, the more we help to reduce

greenhouse gases and the risks of global

warming. To learn more about the important

ENERGY STAR program,

visit: www.energystar.gov.

For safety, users should ensure that the

electrical ground of the power utility, the

telephone lines and the metallic water

pipes are connected together.

Users should NOT attempt to make such

connections themselves but should contact

the appropriate electric inspection authority

or electrician. This may be particularly

important in rural areas.

RUNNING THE NOTEBOOK

ON ITS BATTERY

Recharging the battery

1. Connect the AC adapter to your notebook

The moment you connect an AC adapter

to your notebook, the notebook begins to

charge the internal standard battery pack.

The charging status ( ) on the Status

Indicator LED turns on.

2. When the indicator turns off after the

battery is completely charged, disconnect

the AC adapter from the notebbok.

Before using the supplied battery pack

for the very rst time after purchase,

remember to charge it fully. If a charged

battery has not been recharged for more

than a month, charge it fully before using

it.

When the battery is fully charged, the

charging status indicators turns

green.

When the battery is 90% or more

charged, it cannot be recharged even if

the AC adapter is connected. The battery

can be recharged when its power level

(i.e. remaining battery life) is 89% or less.

When a notebook is turned off, all

indicators on the status LED goes off

immediately if the battery is completely

charged. The chargeability of the battery

degrades when it is used in an extremely

hot or cold place.

When the battery is very hot, for

example, immediately after long usage

of the notebook, the battery protection

feature may be activated to prevent the

battery from being recharged. When the

temperature decreases, the notebook

automatically begins to charge the

battery.

When an optional modular bay battery

is installed, it is charged along with the

internal standard battery.

Running LIFEBOOK on its Battery

This section describes the steps to run the

notebook on its internal standard battery.

Power Button

(This picture is for illustration purpose only and

may look different from the actual unit)

Disconnect the AC adapter from your notebook

and press the power button.

Checking the power level

of the battery

When the notebook is turned on or when the

battery is being charged, the Battery Level

Indicators turns on with different color to

show the power level of the battery.

■ Different power level of the battery

• Green lamp is lit

Remaining battery level: 100% – 50%

• Orange lamp is lit

Remaining battery level: 49 – 13%

• Red lamp is lit

Remaining battery level: 12% or below

The power level of the battery decreases

faster when it is used in a cold place.

The chargeability of the battery decreases

after it has been used over a long period

of time. If the battery runs down very fast,

replace it with a new battery.

When an optional modular bay battery

is installed, it is charged along with the

internal standard battery.

Due to certain characteristics of Li-ion

battery, the Battery Level Indicators may

not correctly show the remaining power

of the battery, especially under extreme

temperature conditions.

When the battery is 90% or more

charged, it cannot be recharged even

if the AC adapter is connected to the

notebook. The battery can be recharged

when its remaing is 89% or less.

Using Your LIFEBOOK

NOTE 1:

Battery temperature alarm is to stop charging

with battery protection function when

emperature of built-in battery pack or extended

built-in battery unit becomes too high or too

low due to battery heat or cooling down of the

battery.

Low Battery Condition

The battery level indicator on the status

indicator LED turns red. If it turns red,

connect the AC adapter to your notebook

immediately to recharge the battery.

The use of a weak battery may result

in lost of data you are currently working

on. When the battery runs low, connect

the AC adapter to your notebook as

soon as an external power source is

available or immediately save the data

you are working on, exit all applications

and turn off the notebook.

Accessing data on the hard disk

consumes a lot of power. Therefore

when the battery is weak, connect an

AC adapter to the notebook before

accessing data on the hard disk.

If a battery is weak and there is no

system activity, the notebook may

go into standby(i.e. suspend) mode.

However, if there is system activity, the

notebook will go into standby mode

only after the system activity has

completed its processing.

The notebook will go into standby

mode when the indicator reaches

3%. This is the default setting if the

notebook.

POWER MANAGEMENT

Your Fujitsu LIFEBOOK 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 managements for

your notebook mat 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

as appropriate power saving profile, put your

notebook into Suspend mode when it is not

performing as operation, and you can limit the

use of high power devices. As with all mobile,

battery power computers, there is a trade-off

between performance and power savings.

Power/Suspend/Resume Button

When you LIFEBOOK is active, the Power/

Suspend/Resume button can be used to

manually out 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.

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. If the indicator is visible and

not ashing, your notebook is fully operational.

If the indicator is visible and  ashing, 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)

* Only applicable for some models

Suspend Mode

Suspend or Standby mode in WIndows saves

the contents of your 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

Battery warning condition.

Your notebook's system memory typically

stores the file on which you are working you

are working, open application information, and

any other data required to support operation

from Suspend mode, your notebook will return

to the point where it left off. You must see the

Power.Suspend/Resume button to resume

operation, and there must be as adequate

power source available, or your notebook will

not resume.

Using Your LIFEBOOK

If you are running your LIFEBOOK

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

operational.

Disabling the Power/Suspend/Resume

button prevents it from being used to

put your LIFEBOOK in Suspend or

Hibernation(Save-to DIsk) mode. The

resume function of the button cannot

be disabled.

The suspend or hibernation(Save-to

-Disk) mode should not be used with

certain PC cards. Check your PC Card

documentation 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 suspension, because all of the

peripheral devices will be re-initialized

when the system restarts.

If your LIFEBOOK is actively accessing

information when you enter the

Suspend or Hibernate (Save-to Disk)

mode, changes to open files are not

lost. The les are left open and memory

is kept active during Suspend mode

or the memory is transferred to the

internal hard drive during hibernation

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 wil be leaving your LIFEBOOK

in a suspended state for a prolonged

period of time. The drawback of using

Hibernation mode is the it lengthens the

power down and power up sequences

and resets peripheral devices.

Windows Power Management

The Power Options icon located in the

Windows Control Panel allows you to congure

some of the power managment 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 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.

Windows 10

1. Click the Windows icon

2. Click the Power, and select Restarting

from the list.

Turning off your notebook without exiting

Windows or turning on your notebook

within 10 seconds of the notebook being

shut off may cause an error when you

start the next time.

Power Off

Before turning off power, check that the hard

drive/optical drive access indicator is off. If

you turn off the power while accessing a disk

there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your

notebook shuts down without error, use the

Windows shut down procedure.

Be sure to close all files, exit all

applications, and shut down your operating

system prior to turning off the power. If les

are open when you turn the power off, you

will lose any changes that have not been

saved, and may cause disk errors.

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:

Windows 10

1. Click the Windows icon

2. Click the Power, and select Shut down

from the list.
