OPERATING YOUR LIFEBOOK SECURITY/

The security lock feature is in effect both when the system
resumes from Off or Standby state. You always need to
push the Suspend /Resume button to input the user pass-
word. Your system will not begin the boot sequence
without entering your supervisor/user password.
From Off State

2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-
word and press Enter button.
For example, if the password is 22222,
Press Button Number 2 five times and press Enter
button.
The LifeBook notebook will boot to normal opera-
tion.
From Standby State

2. When the Security Indicator flashes, enter the pass-
word and press Enter button.
The notebook should resume normal operation.
Incorrect Password Entry
If an invalid supervisor or user password is entered three
times in succession, the system will “beep” for about one
minute. If a valid password is entered within a minute
(while system beeps), the beeping will stop and the note-
book will resume normal operation. If no or an invalid
password is entered while the system beeps, the system
will return to its previous locked state (standby or off)
and the Security Indicator will go off. To reactivate the
notebook after a password failure, you must press the
Suspend/Resume button, then enter a correct password.
PRECAUTIONS
Opening and Closing the Cover
Closing the cover automatically places the notebook
into Standby mode. Opening the cover does not auto-
matically place the notebook into normal operation.
Instead, you must enter the proper security password
after pushing the Suspend/Resume button.
Low Battery Operations
If your LifeBook notebook has low battery, pushing the
suspend/resume button only turns on the Security Indi-
cator. Your notebook does not unlock, the Security Indi-
cator turns off after one minute. To resume normal
operation, first attach a power supply to the notebook.
Then you may unlock the notebook.
