the title bar. This will open a DVD Player dialog box.

2. Click

Yes

to stop and exit the movie, or

USING THE DVD PLAYER ON BATTERY
POWER

Since DVD players consume a lot of power, your overall
battery life will be shorter when operating the DVD
player continuously (such as watching a DVD movie)
than during standard operation.

To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:

1. Have an additional full-charged battery or your

AC adapter ready for use.

2. Start watching your DVD movie.

3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately

stop the movie and exit the DVD player.

4. Manually place your LifeBook into suspend mode

by depressing the Suspend button and replace the
discharged battery with an additional full-charged
battery. If you do not have an additional battery,
you may attach AC power as soon as you see the low
battery warning.

5. Resume your LifeBook by pressing the Power and

Suspend/Resume button again. This step is not
required if you attached AC power without entering
suspend mode.

6. Restart your DVD player, locate and skip to the

chapter of the movie you were last watching.

7. Continue watching your DVD movie.

AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTION

(only in models with Windows 98 Second Edition)

The Auto Insert Notification Function allows your Life-
Book to automatically start a DVD/CD as soon as it is
inserted in the DVD drive and the tray is closed. Your
LifeBook will begin playing an audio DVD/CD or will
start an application if the DVD/CD includes an auto run
file.

Disabling Auto Insert Notification Function

To disable the Auto Insert Notification function, follow
these easy steps:

1. Save all data and close all open applications.

2. From the

Start

menu, select

Settings

, and then select

Control Panel

3. Double-click the

System

icon. This will open the

System Properties dialog box.

4. Select the

Device Manager

tab to display the device

lists for your LifeBook.

5. Click on the

to the left of the DVD drive icon. The

treeview will expand to show the DVD drive manu-
facturer’s name and model number.

C A U T I O N

Prolonged use of the DVD, such as watching a DVD
movie, will substantially reduce your LifeBook’s
battery life.

C A U T I O N

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 or attach AC power
during the movie to view it in its entirety.

P O I N T

An additional full-charged battery is highly
recommended if you will be watching DVD movies on
battery power. If you don’t have an additional battery,
you may purchase one either on-line at
FPCDirect.fujitsupc.com or call 1-877-FPCDirect
(1-877-372-3473).

C A U T I O N

If you do not stop the DVD player quickly and the
LifeBook attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low
state) the LifeBook will shutdown improperly. If this
occurs, you will need to perform a hard reset and follow
the instruction, if any, presented to you before the
system will reboot.

P O I N T

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 cannot be guaranteed.
