SECTION THREE

USING YOUR LIFEBOOK B112 
FROM FUJITSU

This section describes the indicators, buttons,
connections and operating modes of your
LifeBook B112 and their use.

STATUS INDICATOR PANEL

The Status Indicator panel is located in the
recess just above the keyboard. (Figure 3-1)
The appropriate indicators become visible as
you use your notebook.

Power Indicator

The Power Indicator tells you when the system
is operational. It is on steady when there is
power to your notebook, and blinks when the
system is in Suspend mode. It goes off when
the system has entered Save-to-Disk mode, or
the power is turned off from the power switch.
