Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your 
LifeBook 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 Power/Suspend/Resume button to 
resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, 
your data will be lost if a power source is not provided 
promptly. If the Power indicator stops flashing and goes 
out, you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you 
provide power, you can continue to use your LifeBook 
notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the 
battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display 
the operating level available in that battery. 

(See 

Figure 2-9 on page 13)

. If this display shows a Shorted 

Battery, it means 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. 

(Figure 4-1)

1. Have a charged battery ready to install.

2. Shut down your LifeBook notebook and disconnect

the AC adapter.

3. Press the battery release latches while lifting the 

battery.

4. Remove the battery from the bay.

5. Slide the new battery into the bay. The pins will 

automatically align with the connector.

6. Press the battery down until the battery release 

latches snap into place.

7. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on. 

Figure 4-1.  Replacing the Battery

If the Lithium ion battery connector is not 
fully seated, you may not be able to use 
your LifeBook notebook or charge your 
battery.
