Status Display Indicators
The Status Display Indicator LEDs correspond to
specific components of your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook.
These lights (when visible) tell you whether those
components are operating. There are two additional
lights on the front edge of the system to indicate battery
and power states.
POWER INDICATOR
The Power indicator symbol states whether your system
is powered on. It has three different states, each of which
tells you what mode your LifeBook notebook is in at that
time.
n
Steady On: This means that there is power to your
LifeBook notebook and that it is ready for use.
n
Flashing: This means that your LifeBook notebook is
in Suspend mode.
n
Steady Off (not visible): This means that your Life-
Book notebook has been turned off.
If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator will
not be on, but the Battery indicator will be (even if your
LifeBook notebook is shut off). The Power indicator will
be off if you have an adapter connected and are shut
down from Windows, but have not turned off the power.
BATTERY INDICATOR
The Battery indicator displays the state of the primary
Lithium ion battery.
n
Steady Green: This means that the battery is fully
charged.
n
Steady Amber: This means that the battery is
charging.
n
Blinking Red: This indicates the low battery mode.
n
Solid Red: This indicates a battery alarm, meaning the
battery is overheated.
n
Off: This indicates that the battery is completely
discharged.
MEDIA PLAYER ACCESS INDICATOR
The Media Player Access indicator tells you that the
media player drive is being accessed. If the Auto Insert
Notification function is active, the indicator will flash
periodically when your system is checking the media
player drive. If the Auto Insert Notification function is
not active, the indicator will only flash when you access
the media player drive. The default setting is the Auto
Insert Notification function active.
