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.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your

AC adapter ready for use.

2. Start watching your DVD movie.

3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately

stop the movie and exit the DVD player.

4. Manually place your LifeBook into suspend mode by

depressing the Suspend button and replace the
discharged battery with an additional full-charged
battery. Or if you do not have an additional battery,
you may attach AC power as soon as you see the low
battery warning.

5. Resume your LifeBook by pressing the Suspend

button again. This step is not required if you
attached AC power without entering suspend mode.

6. Restart your DVD player, locate and skip to the

chapter of the movie you were last watching.

7. Continue watching your DVD movie.

C A U T I O N

Prolonged use of the DVD drive, such as watching a
DVD movie, will substantially reduce your LifeBook’s
battery life.

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 fully-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
LifeBook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low
state) the LifeBook will shutdown 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 drive cannot be guaranteed.
