Figure 2-9. Status Indicator Panel
Status Indicator Panel
The Status Indicator displays symbols and associated
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that correspond with a
specific component of your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook.
These indicators tell you how each of those components
are operating. (Figure 2-9)
AC ADAPTER INDICATOR
The AC Adapter indicator shows whether your notebook
is operating from the AC adapter, the Auto/Airline
adapter or the batteries. This icon has two different
states that can tell you what power source your LifeBook
notebook is using.
■ On: This means that either of the adapters are
currently in use.
■ Off: Power is only coming from the batteries, and you
do not have an adapter connected.
BATTERY CHARGING INDICATORS
When the AC adapter is connected to your system, these
indicators shows the status of the battery(s) charging, as
follows:
■ Green, solid: The battery is either fully charged or the
AC adapter is connected and there is no battery pack
installed.
■ Orange, solid: The battery pack is charging.
■ Orange, blinking: Charging is suspended due to exces-
sively high or low battery temperature.
■ Off: No AC adapter is connected.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATORS
The Battery Level indicators state whether or not the
primary Lithium ion battery and/or the optional second
Lithium ion battery are installed (Battery 1 refers to the
primary Lithium ion battery, while Battery 2 refers to the
Flexible Bay optional second battery). In addition, this
symbol states how much charge is available within each
installed battery. The symbol will only be displayed for a
battery that is currently installed in your LifeBook note-
book.
■ Green, solid: Battery is between 51% and 100%
charged.
■ Orange, solid: Battery is between 13% and 50%
charged.
■ Red, solid: Battery is between 0% and 12% charged.
■ Orange, blinking: Blinks during battery status
measurement (Four seconds after the battery is
installed).
■ Red, blinking: There is a problem with the battery.
■ Off: There is no battery installed.
