Fujitsu PC Corporation could void this user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices
that you may connect to your telephone line and still
have all of those devices ring when your number is
called. Too many devices on one line may result in
failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most,
but not all, areas the sum of the RENs of all of the
devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of
the number of devices you may connect to your line,
as determined by the RENs, contact your local
telephone company.

AC ADAPTER INDICATOR
Status Indicator Panel
The AC Adapter indicator states 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 notebook
is using.
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 2-10)

Off: Power is only coming from the batteries, and
you do not have an adapter connected.
■
The Power indicator symbol states whether your
system is operational. It has several different states,
each of which tells you what mode your notebook is
in at that time.
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 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 notebook.
(Figure 2-11)
■
Steady On: This means that there is power to your
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 with the power switch.
■
■
If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator
symbol will remain on even if your notebook is shut off.
The Power indicator symbol will also remain on if you
have either adapter connected and are shut down from
Windows, but have not turned off the power switch.

Keyboard
USING THE KEYBOARD
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has an integral 87-key
keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of
a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and
other special function keys. This section describes the
following keys. (Figure 2-12)
NUMERIC KEYPAD
Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as
both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys.
NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys.
Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way.
Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0
through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ),
multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal
points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function
keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the
front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.
(Figure 2-12)
■
Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to
serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and
as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to tog-
gle between the standard character and numerical keys
is controlled through the [NumLk] key.
■
Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow
keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the
right, left, up, or down within windows, applications
and documents.

CLICKING
Touchpad Pointing Device
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button.
To left-click, move the cursor to the item you wish
to select, press the left button once, and then immedi-
ately release it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to
the item you wish to select, press the right button once,
and then immediately release it. You also have the option
to perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on
the Touchpad once. (Figure 2-14)
The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your
Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the
movement of the pointer to select items on your display
panel. The Touchpad is composed of a cursor control
and a left and right button. The cursor control works the
same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around
the display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of
your finger. The left and right buttons function the same
as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the
buttons may vary depending on the application that is
being used. (Figure 2-13)
P O I N T
Figure 2-14 Clicking
An external mouse can be connected to either the USB
or PS/2 port on your notebook or port replicator, and
used simultaneously with the Touchpad. However, if
you boot the system with an external mouse connected
the Touchpad will be disabled or enabled depending on
the specifications in your BIOS settings. (See BIOS
Setup Utility on page 33 for more information)
DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does
not function with the right button. To double-click,
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press
the left button twice, and then immediately release it.
You also have the option to perform the double-click
operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.

right or left handed operation, in addition to
setting up the time interval allowed between
clicks when double-clicking.
Figure 2-15 Double-clicking
P O I N T
■
Pointers: This tab lets you set up the scheme
for the cursor depending on its functionality.
If the interval between clicks is too long, the
double-click will not be executed.
■
Motion: This tab lets you set up a relation between
the speed of your finger motion and the speed of the
cursor. It also allows you to enable a Pointer Trail for
the cursor arrow.
P O I N T
Parameters for the Touchpad can be adjusted from the
Mouse Properties dialog box located in the Windows
Control Panel.
■
General: This tab allows you to choose the type of
mouse you are utilizing. Your notebook is setup to use
the Touchpad pointing device. If you wish to use an
external mouse you will need to change the settings.
DRAGGING
Dragging means pressing and holding the left button,
while moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to
the item you wish to move. Press and hold the left
button while moving the item to its new location
and then release it. Dragging can also be done using the
Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over the item
you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on
the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its
new location by moving your finger across the
Touchpad, and then release your finger. (Figure 2-16)

volume level that must then be followed by the other
sources. For example:

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.
■
Your hardware volume control is all the way down,
therefore your individual software application’s

We recommend that you use the hardware volume
controls to set the upper limit for the sound level and
then make fine adjustments with the Volume Control

Any software that contains audio files will also contain
a volume control of its own. Both the main notebook
volume control and the software volume control will
interact with each other, but it should be noted that if
you set your software volume to Off, you will override
the main volume control setting and the software set-
ting will control the maximum knob setting.

Starting Your LifeBook
C A U T I O N
Never turn off your notebook during the Power On
Self Test (POST) or it will cause an error message to
be displayed when you turn your notebook on the next
time. (See Power On Self Test Messages on page 77 for
more information)
POWER ON
Power Switch
The power switch is used to turn on your notebook from
its off state. Once you have connected your AC adapter
or charged the internal Lithium Ion Battery, you
can power on your notebook. (See figure 2-8 on page 14
for location)
BOOT SEQUENCE
The procedure for starting-up your Fujitsu LifeBook
notebook is termed the Bootup sequence and involves
your notebook’s BIOS. When your notebook is first
turned on, the main system memory is empty, and it
needs to find instructions to start up your notebook.
This information is in the BIOS program. Each time you
power up or restart your notebook, it goes through a
boot sequence which displays a Fujitsu logo until your
operating system is loaded. During booting, your note-
book is performing a standard boot sequence including
a Power On Self Test (POST). When the boot sequence is
completed without a failure and without a request for
the BIOS Setup Utility, the system displays the operating
system’s opening screen.
C A U T I O N
When you turn on your notebook be sure you have a
power source. This means that at least one battery is
installed and charged, or that the AC or Auto/Airline
adapter is connected and has power.
Facing the rear of your notebook, move the power
switch to the right, this is the On position. The power
switch moved to the left is the Off position. When you
are done working you can either leave your notebook in
Suspend mode, (See Suspend Mode on page 36 for more
information), or you can turn it off. (See Power Off on
page 39 for more information)
The boot sequence is executed when:
■
You turn on the power to your notebook.
You restart your notebook from the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
The software initiates a system restart. Example:
When you install a new application.
You reset the system by pressing the three keys
■
C A U T I O N
■
Do not carry your notebook around with the power on
or subject it to shocks or vibration, as you risk damaging
your notebook.

[CTRL+ALT+DEL].
When you Power On your notebook, it will perform a
Power On Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and
configuration for correct functionality. If a fault is found,
your notebook will emit an audio warning and/or an
error message will be displayed. (See Power On Self Test
Messages on page 77 for more information) Depending on
the nature of the problem, you may be able to continue by
starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS
setup utility and revising the settings.
BIOS SETUP UTILITY
The BIOS Setup Utility is a program that sets up the
operating environment for your notebook. Your BIOS
is set at the factory for normal operating conditions,
therefore there is no need to set or change the BIOS’
environment to operate your notebook.

shutdown Windows 98. You may restart this process at
any time in the future, but you must complete it in
order to use your computer.
Getting Started
Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill
in the information as directed. You will be asked for such
items as the language you wish to use, the country in
which you live, your first and last name, and about
how you dial out from where you will be using your
notebook. For the modem settings, enter your current
location information where you will be using your
notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line
and plan to register at a later time, you may click the
Skip button, and you will go directly to the condition
of use page.
P O I N T
If your data security settings require it, you may be

will appear.
BOOTING THE SYSTEM WITH WINDOWS 98
We strongly recommend that you not attach any external
devices and do not put a DVD/CD or floppy disk in
any drive until you have gone through the initial power
on sequence.
Once you have setup your notebook to dial out,
Windows 98 will make a free telephone call which will
test these settings. If the call is unsuccessful, you will be
returned to the phone settings page where you may try
to fix them. If you are unable to fix the settings please
contact Fujitsu PC Service and Support. (See Fujitsu PC
Contact Information on page 3 for more information) If
you would simply like to move on, and register at a later
time, you may click the Skip button, and you will go
directly to the Condition of Use page.
When you turn on your notebook for the first time,
it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do
nothing the system will read the hard drive for the
operating system software, flash the notebook configura-
tion information on the screen, and then the Windows
98 Welcome will begin.
Designed to accommodate the needs of many users,
in many different countries, Windows 98 needs to be
configured the first time you use it. Windows 98
has three parts:
Registration
If your connection is successful, you will go to the

SUSPEND MODE
Power Management
Suspend or Standby mode in Windows 98 saves the
contents of your notebook’s system memory during
periods of inactivity by maintaining power to critical
parts. This mode will turn off the CPU, the display, the
hard drive, and all of the other internal components
except those necessary to maintain system memory
and allow for restarting. Your notebook can be put in
Suspend mode by:
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has many options and
features for conserving battery power. Some of these
features are automatic and need no user intervention,
such as those for the internal modem. However, others
depend on the parameters you set to best suit your oper-
ating conditions, such as those for the display brightness.
Internal power management for your notebook may be
controlled from settings made in your operating system,
pre-bundled power management application, or from
settings made in BIOS setup utility.
■
Pressing the Suspend/Resume button when your
system is turned on.
Selecting Standby from the Windows Shut Down menu.
Timing out from lack of activity.
Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery
■
■
Besides the options available for conserving battery
power, there are also some things that you can do to
prevent your battery from running down as quickly.
For example, you can create an appropriate power saving
profile, put your notebook into Suspend mode when it
is not performing an operation, and you can limit the
use of high power devices. As with all mobile, battery
powered computers, there is a trade-off between
performance and power savings.
■
Warning condition.
Your notebook’s system memory typically stores the
file(s) on which you are working, open application(s)
information, and any other data required to support the
operation(s) in progress. When you resume operation
from Suspend mode, your notebook will return to the
point where it left off. You must use the Suspend/Resume
button to resume operation, and there must be an
adequate power source available, or your notebook
will not resume.
SUSPEND/RESUME BUTTON
When your notebook is active, the Suspend/Resume
button can be used to manually put your notebook
into Suspend mode. Push the Suspend/Resume button
when your notebook is active, but not actively accessing
anything, and immediately release the button. You will
hear two short beeps and your system will enter
Suspend mode. (See figure 2-5 on page 10 for location)
C A U T I O N
If you are running your notebook on battery power,
be aware that the battery continues to discharge while
your notebook is in Suspend mode, though not as fast
as when fully operational.
If your notebook is suspended, pushing the Suspend/
Resume button will return your notebook to active
operation. You can tell whether or not your system
is in Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator.
(See figure 2-5 on page 10) If the indicator is visible and
not flashing, your notebook is fully operational. If the
indicator is both visible and flashing, your notebook is
in Suspend mode. If the indicator is not visible at all, the
power is off or your notebook is in Save-to-Disk mode.
(See Save-to-Disk Mode)
SAVE-TO-DISK MODE
The Save-to-Disk mode saves the contents of your
notebook’s system memory to the hard drive as a
part of the Suspend/Resume mode. Your notebook
is pre-configured to perform this function. The
Save-to-Disk mode can also be configured through the
system BIOS to run in other ways depending on what
you need to accomplish. (See BIOS Setup Utility on
page 33 for more information)
36

G e t t i n g S t a r t e d
Default Methods for using Save-to-Disk Mode:
1. Press the [FN] button together with the Suspend/
Resume button. This will open a Save-to-Disk dialog
box and begin the process.
P O I N T
If your notebook is actively accessing information when
you enter the Suspend or Save-to-Disk mode, changes
to open files are not lost. The files are left open and
memory is kept active during Suspend mode or the
memory is transferred to the internal hard drive during
Save-to-Disk mode.
Customer configured BIOS methods for using
Save-to-Disk Mode:
1. Click on the Start button, click Shut Down and
then Standby. Prior to that you should enable
Save-to-Disk in the BIOS setup utility.
P O I N T
OR
When PC Cards or external devices are in use, Save-
to-Disk mode cannot return to the exact state prior
to suspension, because all of the peripheral devices
will be re-initialized when the system restarts.
2. Enable Save-To-Disk mode from within the Power
dialog box of the BIOS setup utility, then press the
Suspend/Resume button to execute this command
under DOS or Windows 98.
OR
3. Enable Save-To-Disk mode from within the Power
dialog box of the BIOS setup utility, then allow the
notebook to time out from lack of activity.
P O I N T
The main advantage of using the Save-to-Disk function
is that power is not required to maintain your data. This
is particularly important if you will be leaving your note-
book in a suspended state for a prolonged period of
time. The drawback of using Save-to-Disk mode is that
it lengthens the power down and power up sequences
and resets peripheral devices.
P O I N T
Disabling the Suspend/Resume button prevents it
from being used to put your notebook in Suspend
or Save-to-Disk mode. The resume function of the
button cannot be disabled.
P O I N T
Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a significant
amount of hard drive capacity for saving all system
memory, which reduces your usable disk space. When
you purchase your notebook it will have space allocated
for the memory installed. If you upgrade the original
system by adding a memory upgrade module without
changing the size of your Save-to-Disk allocation you
will get an error message when you try to activate
Save-to-Disk mode and it will not work. Use the
PHDISK Utility to increase the size of the Save-to-Disk
file, SAVE2DSK.BIN. You can download the Save-to-
Disk File Allocation information from our Web site at
www.8fujitsu.com. If you need help, contact your
support representative for recommendations.
C A U T I O N
The Suspend or Save-to-Disk mode should not be used
with certain PC Cards. Check your PC Card documenta-
tion for more information.

IDLE MODE
HARD DISK TIMEOUT
Idle mode is one of the power management parameters.
When Idle mode is enabled, the CPU is put into low-
speed operation when there is no activity (keystroke,
pointer action, sound generation, video display change,
modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your note-
book for 16 seconds. Any activity will cause the normal
operation to restart automatically. This feature is inde-
pendent of the Suspend/Resume modes.
The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power
management parameters. This feature saves power by
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart
automatically. This feature is independent of the
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS
Setup Utility on page 33 for more information)
STANDBY MODE
WINDOWS 98 POWER MANAGEMENT
Power Management
Standby mode is one of the power management parame-
ters. When Standby mode is activated, your notebook
puts the CPU in low-speed operation, shuts off the
display and turns off the hard drive when there is no
activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation,
video display change, modem transmission or reception,
etc.) on your notebook for the user selected time-out
period. Any activity will cause your notebook to return
to normal operation automatically. This feature is inde-
pendent of the Suspend/Resume button.
The Power Management icon located in the Windows 98
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the
Power Management to set the timeout values for turning
off the display and hard disks whether you are running
the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.
The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See BIOS
Setup Utility on page 33 for more information)
DISPLAY TIMEOUT
RESTARTING THE SYSTEM
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure
that you use the following procedure.
The Video Timeout is one of the power management
parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer
activity will cause the display to restart automatically.
This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume
button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and
BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33 for
more information)
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Restart option from within the Windows
Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to restart your notebook. Your notebook
will shut down and then reboot.
C A U T I O N
Turning off your notebook without exiting Windows
or turning on your notebook within 10 seconds of the
notebook being shut off may cause an error when you
start the next time.

G e t t i n g S t a r t e d
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows,
allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The
proper sequence is:
POWER OFF
Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down
from the Windows 98 Start menu, check that the Hard
Drive, DVD/CD-ROM, CD-RW, PC Card and the
Floppy Disk Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See
figure 2-5 on page 10) If you turn off the power while
accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To
assure that your notebook shuts down without error, use
the Windows shut down procedure.
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Shut Down option from within the
Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to shutdown your notebook.
4. Move the power switch to the off position.
C A U T I O N
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.
Never turn your notebook off while an application is
running. Be sure to close all files, exit all applications,
and shut down your operating system prior to turning
off the power with the power switch. If files are open
when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes
that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.

Lithium Ion Battery
C A U T I O N
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has a Lithium Ion
battery that provides power for operating your notebook
when no external power source is available. The battery
is durable and long lasting, but should not be exposed
to extreme temperatures, high voltages, chemicals or
other hazards.
Under federal, state, or local law it may be illegal to dis-
pose of batteries by putting them in the trash. Please
take care of our environment and dispose of batteries
properly. Check with your local government authority
for details regarding recycling or disposing of old bat-
teries. If you cannot find this information elsewhere,
contact your support representative at 1-800-8FUJITSU
(1-800-838-5487).
The Lithium Ion battery operating time may become
shorter if it is used under the following conditions:
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
■
When used at temperatures that exceeds a low of
If you want to know the condition of the primary
Lithium Ion battery, check the Battery Level indicator
located on the Status Indicator panel. The indicator
changes as the battery level changes.
5˚C or a high of 35˚C. Extreme temperatures not
only reduce charging efficiency, but can also cause
battery deterioration. The Charging icon on the
Status Indicator panel will flash when you try to
charge a battery that is outside its operating temp-
erature range. (See Battery Charging Indicators on
page 17 for more information)
When using a high current device such as a modem,
DVD drive, CD-ROM drive, or the hard drive, using
the AC adapter will conserve your battery life.
The Lithium Ion battery is recharged internally using
the AC adapter or Auto/Airline adapter. To recharge the
battery make sure the battery that needs to be charged
is installed in your notebook and connect the AC or
Auto/Airline adapter.
■
P O I N T
C A U T I O N
Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator and the
percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon
on the Status Indicator Panel.
Actual battery life will vary based on screen brightness,
applications, features, power management settings,
battery condition and other customer preferences.
DVD drive, CD-RW Drive, CD-ROM drive or hard drive
usage may also have a significant impact on battery life.
The battery charging capacity is reduced as the battery
ages. If your battery is running low quickly, you should
replace it with a new one.
There is no memory effect on the Lithium Ion battery
therefore you do not need to discharge the battery
completely before recharging. The charge times will be
significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the
battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery
more quickly, put your notebook into Suspend mode,
or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.
(See Power Management on page 36 for more information
on Suspend mode and shutdown procedure)
C A U T I O N
Do not leave a faulty battery in your notebook. It
may damage your AC adapter, optional Auto/Airline
adapter, another battery or your notebook itself. It may
also prevent operation of your notebook by draining all
available current into the bad battery.
C A U T I O N
Using heavy current devices such as Modem or
frequent DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM accesses may
prevent charging completely.

Low Battery State
Shorted Batteries
When the battery is running low, your notebook will
beep every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator
will flash. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm,
the batteries will continue to discharge until they are
too low to operate. When this happens there will be a
multiple beep alarm and the Battery Level indicator will
show a dead battery. Your notebook will then go into
Suspend mode to try and protect your data for as long
as possible. There is no guarantee that your data will not
be lost once the notebook reaches this point.
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the
battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display
the operating level available in that battery. (See figure 2-
11 on page 17) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it
means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced
so it does not damage any other parts of your notebook.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have
a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-
swapping and warm-swapping:
C A U T I O N
You may not be able to hear the audio alarm if the vol-
ume control is set too low or is turned off by either the
hardware or software. However, you will still be able to
see the Battery Level indicator flash. Once the low bat-
tery alarm occurs you need to save all your active data
and put your notebook into Suspend mode until you
can provide a new power source. You should provide
a charged battery, an AC power adapter, or Auto/
Airline as soon as possible.
Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these
easy steps: (Figure 4-1)
1. Have a charged battery ready to install.
2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect
the AC adapter.
3. Unlock the battery bay using the lock button.
4. Slide the battery bay release button to open the bay.
5. Remove the battery from the bay.
C A U T I O N
6. Slide the new battery into the bay.
When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at
least one power source active. If you turn off the power
with the power switch, or remove all power sources
while your notebook is in Suspend mode, any data that
has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost.
7. Close the bay and slide the battery bay release
button back.
8. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.
Battery Bay
Lock Button
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your
notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you
will be unable to resume operation until you provide
a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged
battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to
press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be
maintained for some time, but if a power source is not
provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop
flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data
that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can
continue to use your notebook while an adapter is
charging the battery.

PREPARING A DISK FOR USE
External Floppy Disk Drive
Before you can use a new disk, it needs to be prepared
so your notebook knows where to store information.
This preparation is called formatting or initializing a
disk. You will need to format new disks, unless they are
preformatted. (Please refer to your operating system
manual for step-by-step instructions on formatting a disk)
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has a external floppy disk
drive which can read and write information on removable
1.44MB and 720KB floppy disks.
LOADING A DISK
To load a disk into your disk drive, follow these easy steps:
To prevent accidental erasure of the data stored on a disk,
slide the “write protect” tab until a small hole is exposed.
This sets the disk into a protected state where nothing can
be added or removed. If you want to add or remove data on

USING THE DVD PLAYER ON
BATTERY POWER
1. Right-click on the movie screen to open a drop-
down menu for options.
Since DVD drives consume a lot of power, your overall
battery life will be shorter when operating the DVD drive
continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than
during standard operation. Many movies run-times are
longer than your notebook can support on a single
battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery
power you may need to swap in an additional, charged
battery, add a second modular battery in your Flexible
Bay or attach AC power during the movie to view it
in its entirety.
2. Select Panel Control, for all the controls available,
select Navigator Control for navigation controls
only, or select Angle Control to open a small box
that allows you to select different angles to view the
movie. From these controls, it is possible to add
sub-titles, speed up or slow down, even play movie
related games.

Many movies run-times are longer than your system
can support on a single battery. If you are watching a
DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap
in an additional, charged battery, add a 2nd modular
battery or attach AC power during the movie to view
it in its entirety.
Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to
swap batteries or attach AC power to complete them.
However, it is best to be prepared since actual battery life
while operating the DVD drive cannot be guaranteed.

*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller
Failure (where x = 1-4)
*Monitor type does not match CMOS – Run SETUP
Monitor type not correctly identified in Setup. This error
probably means your BIOS is corrupted, run the setup
utility and set all settings to the default conditions. If you
still get this error, contact your support representative.
The fixed disk is not working or not configured properly.
This may mean that the hard drive type identified in
your setup utility does not agree with the type detected
by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to check
for the hard drive type settings and correct them if
necessary. If the settings are OK and the message appears
when you restart the system, there may be a serious fault
which might cause you to lose data if you continue.

drive may be corrupted and your system may have to be
re-installed from your back up media.
*Incorrect Drive A type – run SETUP
Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup.
This means that the floppy disk drive type identified in
your setup utility does not agree with the type detected
by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility to
correct the inconsistency.

choose this option, you will lose any software you
have installed and any other files you created since
you setup your computer. You will have to re-install
any software that was not included with the
computer when you bought it.
RECOVERY CD-ROM
Included with your notebook are the Emergency
Recovery CD and Drivers and Application Restore CD.
The Emergency Recovery CD contains the following:
■
A backup copy of the software originally installed on
your Fujitsu LifeBook (can only be used on the listed
LifeBook models).
P O I N T
It is recommended that you back-up all data files prior
to performing either of the recovery options.
The Drivers and Application Restore CD contains
the following:
■
Sets of device drivers and Fujitsu utilities (in specific
directories) that are unique to your notebook configu-
ration for use as documented below.
Read-me files that provide additional use information
P O I N T
Make certain you have your Operating System Product
ID # available (from the Certificate of Authenticity)
prior to performing recovery. Once the process is
complete and you re-start your notebook, you will be
required to perform all the setup steps as when the
computer was first purchased. (See Booting the System
with Windows 98 on page 34 for more information)
■
for items on this CD-ROM.
P O I N T
If you have access to the internet, visit the Fujitsu PC
Corporation Support Web site at www.8fujitsu.com
to check for the most current information, drivers/
software and hints on how to perform recovery
and system updates.
C A U T I O N
User data and user installed software CAN NOT be
recovered from the Emergency Recovery CD.
Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
from CD-ROM
The Emergency Recovery CD-ROM enables restoration
of your notebook disk drive contents as they were origi-
nally shipped from the factory. Most often this is neces-
sary if files or software programs (only those files/
programs that came pre-installed) become corrupt
or accidentally erased.
To Run the Emergency Recovery Program
To use this portion of the CD-ROM, your notebook
must Boot up (upon power up or full system reset/
restart) from the CD-ROM drive.
1. Insert the Emergency Recovery CD in the
CD-ROM drive.
You have two options available when
performing recovery:
2. If your notebook is running when you insert the
CD, exit your operating system and power down
the notebook.
1. Recover Hard Drive without Format. This choice
replaces all the original factory installed files and
program structures without eliminating your data
files. You will have to re-install any software that
was not included with the computer when you
bought it, however you data will be intact as long
as the installation of the additional programs is
performed in the same manner.
3. Start (power up) your notebook.
4. At this point, you must either change your
BIOS setup configuration through the [F2] key
to have the computer boot from the CD-ROM
“first” (if you have not previously done so), or
you can use the [ESC] key during this boot-up
sequence and select the CD-ROM from the menu
that will appear. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 33
for more information)
2. Format and Recover Hard Drive. This choice
removes all the information on the hard disk. If you
80

T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g
5. If correctly configured to boot from the Recovery
CD-ROM, you will notice your system running a
full virus scan of the hard drive and then reach the
Emergency Recovery Welcome screen. If this is not
what is displayed, check to see that the Recovery
CD is installed in the CD-ROM drive and repeat
the previous steps, starting with 2. If you received
a message “This program may not be used on your
computer” you are using the wrong Recovery CD
for the model of notebook. Contact Fujitsu PC
Service and Support to obtain the correct CD.
P O I N T
As long as there is no bootable disk in the CD-ROM
drive or the floppy disk drive, your notebook will boot
from the hard drive regardless of the BIOS Boot Device
Priority setting.
Drivers and Applications Restore CD
The Drivers and Application CD can be used to selec-
tively re-install drivers and/or applications that may have
been un-installed or corrupted. Please refer to installa-
tion instructions located in the Drivers and Applications
Restore CD.
6. Read the information displayed on the Welcome
screen, then click OK.
7. Select one of the two icons displayed in the Emer-
gency Recovery menu and follow the instructions.
P O I N T
8. When recovery is complete, remove the Recovery
CD, replace it in its sleeve and store it in a safe
location (with your Operating System Manual/
Certificate of Authenticity).
Look for and open files with the extensions .DOC, .PDF
and/or .TXT.
9. Restart your notebook.
10. Reset your boot device priority in the BIOS setup
as desired.
Your notebook now has all of the software installed that
was included when you received it from the factory. You
must now load any programs which you purchased and
installed after you received your notebook. If you chose
the Format and Recover Hard Drive option, you should
now restore your data files. If you performed the Recover
Hard Drive without Format, your data files will still exist
(within their original directory structures).

such as keyboards and monitors.
SMART
RAM
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology
(SMART) is an emerging technology that provides near-
term failure predictions for hard drives. When SMART is
enabled the hard drive monitors pre-determined drive
attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time.
If a failure is likely to occur, SMART makes a status
report available so that the LifeBook can prompt the
user to back up the data on the drive. Naturally not all
failures are predictable. SMART predictability is limited
to those attributes which the drive can self-monitor. In
those cases where SMART can give advance warning, a
considerable amount of precious data can be saved.
