Status Indicator Panel

The Status Indicator displays symbols that correspond
with a specific component of your Fujitsu LifeBook
notebook. These symbols tell you how each of those
components are operating. (Figure 2-8)

POWER INDICATOR

The Power indicator symbol states whether your system
is operational. It has several different states, each of
which tells you the mode your notebook is in.

Steady On: This means that there is power to your
LifeBook notebook and that it is ready for use.

Flashing: This means that your notebook is in
Suspend mode.

Steady Off: This means that your system is either in
Save-to-Disk mode, or that your notebook has been
turned off.

If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator will
remain on even if your notebook is shut off. The Power
indicator will also remain on if you have either adapter
connected and are shut down from Windows.

EXTERNAL POWER INDICATOR

The External Power indicator shows whether your note-
book is operating from the AC adapter, Auto/Airline
adapter or battery. This icon has two different states that
can tell you what power source your 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 LEVEL INDICATORS

The two 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
Modular 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. (Figure 2-9)
