USING THE DVD PLAYER ON
BATTERY POWER
Since DVD drives consume a lot of power, your overall
battery life will be shorter when operating the DVD drive
continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than
during standard operation. Many movies run-times are
longer than your LifeBook 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.
