You turn on your notebook
and nothing seems to
happen.
(continued)
The battery or batteries are low. Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the
presence and condition of the batteries. (See Status
Indicator Panel on page 12 for more information) Use
a Power adapter to operate until a battery is charged
or install a charged battery.
The power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) is not plugged
in properly. Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. (See
Power Sources on page 25 for more information)
The Power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) has no power
from the AC outlet, airplane
seat jack, or the car’s cigarette
lighter. Move the AC cord to a different outlet, check for a
line switch or tripped circuit breaker for the AC
outlet. If you are using an auto/airline adapter in a
car make sure the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessories position.
The Power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) is faulty. Try a different Power adapter or install a charged
optional second battery.
Your LifeBook notebook
turns off all by itself. The power management
parameters are set for auto
timeouts which are too short
for your operating needs. Press any button on the keyboard, or move the
mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push the
Power/Suspend/Resume button. Check your power
management settings, or close your applications and
go to the Power Savings menu of the setup utility to
adjust the timeout values to better suit your needs.
You are operating on battery
power and have ignored a low
battery alarm until the batteries
are at dead battery state and the
machine has gone into Dead
Battery Suspend mode. Install a power adapter and then push the Power/
Suspend/Resume button. (See Power Sources on
page 25 for more information)
You have a battery failure. Verify the condition of the batteries using the
Status Indicator panel, and replace or remove
any batteries that are shorted. (See Status Indicator
Panel on page 12 for more information)
Your power adapter has failed
or lost its power source. Make sure the adapter is plugged in and the outlet
has power.
Your LifeBook notebook
will not work on battery
alone. The installed batteries
are dead. Replace the battery with a charged one or install
a Power adapter.
No batteries are installed. Install a charged battery.
The batteries are improperly
installed. Verify that the batteries are properly connected
by re-installing them.
Your installed batteries
are faulty. Verify the condition of the batteries using the
Status Indicator panel and replace or remove
any batteries that are shorted. (See Status Indicator
Panel on page 12 for more information)
The batteries seem to
discharge too quickly. You are running an application
that uses a great deal of power
due to frequent hard drive
access or DVD/CD-ROM
access, use of a modem card
or a LAN PC card. Use both the primary battery and an optional
second battery and/or use a power adapter for this
application when at all possible.
