chapter of the movie you were last watching.

C A U T I O N
Many movies run-times are longer than your system
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.
P O I N T
An additional full-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
FPCDirect.fujitsupc.com or call 1-877-FPCDirect
(1-877-372-3473).
C A U T I O N
If you do not stop the DVD player quickly and the
notebook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low
state) the notebook will shut down improperly. If this
occurs, you will need to perform a hard reset and follow
the instruction, if any, presented to you before the
system will reboot.
P O I N T
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 DVD cannot be guaranteed.
