a Lithium ion battery, or a weight saver.

audio DVD/CDs and record to DVD, CD, and DVD-RAM discs
.
•
Modular Lithium ion battery: This is a rechargeable battery that can be used to power your
LIFEBOOK notebook when an adapter is not connected.

Weight Saver: This is used to fill the bay when no device is needed.
Removing and Installing Modular Devices
There are two ways to remove and install modular devices in the Flexible Bay:
•
Cold-swapping: swapping devices while your LIFEBOOK notebook is powered off.
