BATTERIES
Caring for your Batteries
■ Always handle batteries carefully.
■ Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they
may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects.
Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
■ Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery.
■ Recharge batteries only as described in this manual
and only in ventilated areas.
■ Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
■ Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6
months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
■ Power your Fujitsu LifeBook through the AC or
optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.
■ If your Fujitsu LifeBook is running on battery power
all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight to
recharge the battery.
■ Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.
■ Set the power management for maximum battery life.
■ Put your Fujitsu LifeBook in Suspend mode when it is
turned on and you are not actually using it.
■ Limit your DVD access.
■ Disable the Windows CD auto insert notification func-
tion.
■ Always use fully charged batteries.
■ Eject PCMCIA cards when not in use.
