system is operating on an AC or auto/airline
adapter, or is running on batteries alone. The
indicator is On when either of the adapters is
active and Off when power comes from the bat-
teries alone. If a battery is charging, the Power
Adapter indicator is active regardless of the
setting of the power switch. The AC Adapter
indicator is also active in the Windows 95
pseudo-off state, regardless of the battery status.
If there is no battery charging, and the power
switch is Off,then the AC Adapter indicator
and the Battery indicators will all be Off.
Turning off the power with the power
switch or using the Suspend/Resume
button when any of the Access indicators
are On may cause loss of data and/or
system errors.
A small arrow icon (Battery Charging indica-
tor) appears to the left of each of the Battery
Level indicators and above the number (Battery

When two Lithium ion batteries are installed,
the charge/discharge rate of the internal and
external Lithium ion batteries are the same,
when they are connected in parallel and are
both charging and/or discharging at the same
time. Since the rates are the same, one may
finish charging or discharging before the
other if they were not at the same charge level
when they were installed and/or the AC or
auto/airline adapter was connected. You can
choose to have the batteries charged in series
instead of in parallel, which will change the
relative charging rates for the two batteries.
The charge times will be significantly longer if
your notebook is in use while the batteries are
charging (from approximately nine (9) hours
for one battery to approximately 15 hours for
two batteries with normal operating levels).
Recharging the Batteries
If you want to check the condition of either the
internal Lithium ion Smart battery or the exter-
nal Lithium ion Smart battery, check the Battery
Level indicators located on the Status Indicator
panel. These indicators change as the battery
levels change. Battery 1 is the internal Lithium
ion Smart battery and Battery 2 is the external
Lithium ion Smart battery. (Figure 2-3 on page
23.) You can also check the PowerPanel toolbar.
(See pages 43-47.)

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 AC adapter, an optional auto/
airline adapter, or a charged battery. Dead
Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status
indicator just like the normal Suspend mode.
Once you have provided power, you will need
to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume
operation. In the Suspend mode, your data can
be maintained for sometime. If a power source
is not provided promptly, the Power indicator
will stop flashing and go out,and you will have
lost the data that was not stored.
When the low battery alarm occurs you need to
save all your active data and put your notebook

When there is no floppy disk in the drive,
the eject button is flush with the front of
your LAN Enhancement Unit.
To prevent data stored on a floppy disk from
being erased,slide the write protect tab on the
floppy disk to open up the small hole. This
makes the disk write protected. When you want
to write data to that disk,slide the write protect
tab the other way to close the small hole.

puters,there is a trade-off between performance
and power savings.
The factory installed software, including
the operating system, can be restored from
the Recovery CD-ROM which came in the
accessories box when you purchased your
notebook. (See Restoring Your Pre-installed
Software from CD-ROM on page 145
for more information.) Any application
software which you have purchased and
installed will have to be re-installed from
the original source. When doing a recovery
remember that you must allocate space
for the Save-to-Disk function if you have
it enabled. (See Setting Up Your Save-to-
Disk File Allocation on pages 99-100 for
more information.)
HARD DRIVE
The internal hard drive capacity is dependent
on which model you are using. See Appendix A
(pages 152-156) for model information.
Internal power management for your note-
book is controlled from settings made in the
BIOS setup utility, PowerPanel by Phoenix
Technologies,and the Windows 95 Control
panel. If no settings have been made in
PowerPanel or the Windows 95 Control
panel,then the BIOS settings will be used.
The PowerPanel and the Windows 95 Control
panel have been pre-set at the factory and will
be active unless you disable them. Complete
descriptions of the BIOS setup utility para-
meters are found in Section Three of this
guide. Power management parameters are
covered under the Power Savings menu.
(See pages 86-93.)
Formatting the Hard Drive
The hard drive inside your notebook is format-
ted (initialized) at the factory. You do not need
to format it under normal circumstances.
C A U T I O N
If you reformat the internal hard drive ALL
data including the operating system and
applications software will be erased. Unless
data is copied to floppy disks or other data
storage media it will be permanently lost.
All software will need to be re-installed and
data files restored from your back-up disks.
See the operating system manual for more
information on backing-up your data files.
POWER MANAGEMENT
Your LifeBook 600 Series has many features for
conserving power. Some power savings features
are automatic and have no user control, such as
those for the internal modem, while others
depend on the user setting the parameters
which best suit their operating needs. Power
Savings features include: turning the display
Some particular power parameters are only
available for setup from one of these places,
others can be changed in any one of them.

by activation of the selected mode. Which
mode is activated depends on the settings of
the BIOS setup utility Power Savings menu.
The default is Suspend mode. (See pages
88-89 for how to select Save-to-Disk mode.)
C A U T I O N
Be sure you know what settings are
active for the Suspend/Resume button
before you use it as misuse can result in
data loss. (See the Power Savings Menu
of the BIOS setup utility, pages 88-89,
for more information.)
If your notebook is suspended,pushing the
Suspend/Resume button will return your note-
book to active operation at the point it went into
suspension. The Suspend/Resume button is
located next to the Status Indicator panel above
the keyboard of your notebook. (Figure 2-14.)
You can tell whether or not your system is in
Suspend mode by looking at the Power indicator.
(See page 23.) If it is visible and not flashing, your
notebook is fully operational. If it is visible and
flashing, your notebook is in Suspend mode. If it
is not visible, the power is Off, the power is in the
Windows 95 pseudo-off state, or your notebook
is in the Save-to-Disk mode. (See pages 47-48.)
When you receive your LifeBook 600 Series it
will be set for the default which is Suspend mode.

Idle Mode
P O I N T
P O I N T
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 notebook for 16 seconds. Any activity
will cause the normal operation to restart
automatically. This feature is independent of
the Suspend/Resume button. This parameter is
enabled and disabled in the BIOS setup utility.
(See page 87.)
Save-to-Disk mode requires allocating a
significant amount of hard drive capacity
for saving all of 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 the
Save-to-Disk mode and it will not work.
Use the PHDISK Utility to increase
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.
Standby Mode
Standby mode is one of the power management
parameters. When Standby mode is activated,
your notebook puts the CPU in low-speed oper-
ation,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. (See page 88.) Any activity

Video Timeout
INTERNAL MODEM
The Video Timeout is one of the power man-

Your internal modem is designed to allow
faster downloads from K56flex compliant
digital sources. Maximum achievable
download transmission rates may not reach
56 Kbps and will vary with line conditions.
Do not move either device during
communication as it may interrupt
data transmission.
The following conditions may interfere with
infrared communications:

When the infrared communication ports
C A U T I O N
are not directly facing each other, or some
obstacle is between them.
INFRARED PORT
Be careful not to scratch the infrared port
lens. Scratches, dirt or other surface
marks can effect operation.
Infrared IrDA-compatible communication
is a function that allows for wireless data
transfer between your notebook and other
IrDA-compatible devices. Examples of IrDA-
compatible devices are another computer
or a printer. When carrying out this kind of
communication, both devices must be set so
their infrared ports are directly facing each
other without obstructions.A distance of 6"
to 36" between the device ports is ideal. Dirt
or scratches on the lens of your notebook or
the other device will degrade performance.
This is especially true for Fast IrDA applica-
tions such as a transfer to an Ethernet.
■
When the infrared communication ports are
too far apart.
■
When a television or radio remote control
unit, or a wireless headphone is being
used nearby.
PRE-INSTALLED SOFTWARE
Your LifeBook 600 Series comes with pre-
installed software for playing audio and video
files of various formats. In addition there is file
transfer software, telephony software and virus
protection software. Some models come with
additional application software.

A bootable CD-ROM may have either
a floppy disk format or a hard drive
format. When the bootable CD-ROM
is used the drive allocations change
automatically without changing the
BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format
CD-ROM is used the CD-ROM becomes
Drive A. If a hard disk format CD-ROM
is used the internal hard drive becomes
Drive D and the CD-ROM becomes
Drive C and all other drive designations
shift as necessary. The boot sequence
ignores the new drive designations,
however, your application software
will use the new designations.
Be careful of the operating environment
when booting from a CD-ROM or you
may overwrite files by mistake.

Symptom
Possible Cause
Possible Solution
The display goes blank by itself after you have
been using it.
1. The notebook has gone into Video timeout,
Standby mode, Suspend mode or Save-to-
Disk mode because you have not used it for
a period of time.
1. Use the keyboard or pointer and if that does
not restore operation,push the Suspend/
Resume button. You may want to change your
PowerPanel settings (pages 43-47) or close
your application and go to the setup utility
Power Savings menu (pages 86-93) and adjust
the timeout values to better suit your needs.
2. Clear the Closed Cover switch.
2. Something is pushing on the Closed Cover
switch. (See Figure 1-6 on page 5.)
The Built-in Display does not close.
1. A foreign object, such as a paper clip, is stuck
between the display and the keyboard.
1. Remove all foreign objects from
the keyboard.
The Built-in Display has bright or dark spots.
1. If the spots are very tiny and few in number,
this is normal for a large LCD display.
1. This is normal; do nothing.
2. If the spots are numerous or large enough to
interfere with your operation needs.
2. Display is faulty; contact your
support representative.
The application display uses only a portion of
your screen and is surrounded by a dark band.
1. You are running an application that does not
support 1024 x 768 pixel resolution display
and display compression is enabled.
1. Display compression gives a clearer but smaller
display for applications that do not support
1024 x 768 pixel resolution. You can fill the
screen but have less resolution by changing your
display compression setting. (See Video Features
Submenu of the Advanced Menu on pages 79-80.)

APPENDIX B GLOSSARY
AC Adapter
A device which converts the AC voltage from a
wall outlet to the DC voltage needed to power
your computer.
To start-up a computer and load its operating
system from disk, ROM or other storage media
into RAM.
A device which converts the DC voltage from
an automobile cigarette lighter or aircraft DC
power outlet to the DC voltage needed to power
your notebook.
Bus
An electrical circuit with at least as many wires
as there are bits in your words which passes
data between the CPU and the sub-assemblies
inside your computer.
BIOS
ACPI
Basic Input-Output System.A computer pro-
gram and set of default parameters stored in
ROM which tests and operates your computer
when you turn it on until it lo ads your installed
operating system from disk. Information from
the BIOS is transferred to the installed operat-
ing system to provide it with information on
the configuration and status of the hardware.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface.
This is a power management specification
developed by Intel, Microsoft,and Toshiba.
ACPI enables the operating system to control
the amount of power given to each device
attached to the computer. With ACPI,the oper-
ating system can turn off peripheral devices,
such as a CD-ROM players, when they're not in
use. As another example, ACPI will enable man-
ufactures to produce computers that automati-
cally power up as soon as you touch the key-
board. (You must upgrade to Windows 98 to
take advantage of ACPI.)
Byte
8 bits of parallel binary information.
Cache Memory
A block of memory built into the micro-
processor which is very much faster to access
than your system RAM and is used in specially
structured ways to make your overall data
handling time faster.
Bit
An abbreviation for binary digit. A single piece of
information which is either a one (1) or a zero (0).
bps
CardBus
An abbreviation for bits per second. Used to
describe data transfer rates.
A faster, 32-bit version of the PC Card interface
which offers performance similar to the 32-bit
PCI architecture.
