RUNNING THE NOTEBOOKON ITS BATTERYRecharging the battery

1. Connect the AC adapter to your notebook.

The moment you connect an AC adapter toyour notebook, the notebook begins tocharge the internal standard battery pack.The charging status ( ) on the StatusIndicator LCD turns on.

2. When the indicator turns off after thebattery is completely charged, disconnectthe AC adapter from the notebbok.

Before using the supplied battery pack forthe very first time after purchase,remember to charge it fully. If a chargedbattery has not been recharged for morethan a month, charge it fully before usingit.When the battery is fully charged, thecharging status indicator turns off and the

indicator stops blinking ( ) and

lights up ( ).

When the battery is 90% or morecharged, it cannot be recharged even ifthe AC adapter is connected. The batterycan be recharged when its power level(i.e. remaining battery life) is 89% or less.When a notebook is turned off, allindicators on the status LCD goes offimmediately if the battery is completelycharged.The chargeability of the battery degradeswhen it is used in an extremely hot or coldplace.When the battery is very hot, for example,immediately after long usage of thenotebook, the battery protection featuremay be activated to prevent the batteryfrom being recharged.

1. Disconnect the AC adapter from yournotebook and press the power button.

The power level of the battery decreasesfaster when it is used in a cold place.The chargeability of the battery decreasesafter it has been used over a long periodof time. If the battery runs down very fast,replace it with a new battery.When an optional modular bay battery isinstalled, it is charged along with theinternal standard battery.

Checking the power level ofthe battery

When the notebook is turned on or when thebattery is being charged, the Battery Levelindicators turns on and blinks to show the powerlevel of the battery.

� Different power level of thebattery (* Applicable to S6310only)

Due to certain characteristics of Li-ionbattery, the Battery Level Indicators maynot correctly show the remaining powerof the battery, especially under extremetemperature conditions.When the battery is 90% or morecharged, it cannot be recharged even ifthe AC adapter is connected to thenotebook. The battery can be rechargedwhen its remaing is 89% or less.

Low battery condition

When the battery is discharged to a very lowlevel, the battery level indicator on the statusindicator LCD blinks ( ). If it blinks, connectthe AC adapter to your notebook immediately torecharge the battery.

The use of a weak battery may result inlost of data you are currently working on.When the battery runs low, connect theAC adapter to your notebook as soon asan external power source is available orimmediately save the data you areworking on, exit all applications and turnoff the notebook.Accessing data on the hard diskconsumes a lot of power. Therefore whenthe battery is weak, connect an ACadapter to the notebook before accessingdata on the hard disk.If a battery is weak and there is no systemactivity, the notebook may go into standby(i.e. suspend) mode. However, if there issystem activity, the notebook will go intostandby mode only after the systemactivity has completed its processing.The notebook will go into standby modewhen the indicator reaches 3%. This isthe default setting of the notebook.

USING FINGERPRINTAUTHENTICATION*

With fingerprint authentication, you can omitentering a user name and a password by justsliding your finger onto the fingerprint sensor atthe time of logging in homepages or logging onWindows. This chapter describes how to usefingerprint authentication.

* NOTE:This is only applicable for LifeBook withFingerprint Sensor.

To use fingerprint authentication, the user’sfingerprints must be registered.

Characteristics of fingerprintauthentication

� Fingerprint authentication can beused in the following case.

• Logging on to Windows

When the user account of Windows ispassword-protected, only persons who knowthat password can log on to Windows usingthat account. However, you have to enter thepassword each time when you log on toWindows.With use of fingerprint authentication, youcan log on to Windows by only authenticatingfingerprints that have previously beenregistered, thus omitting entering apassword.

• Recovery from the power-saving status

If the computer is password-protected for therecovery from power-saving status, you haveto enter a password each time when yourcomputer is recovered from the power-savingstatus.With use of fingerprint authentication, youcan recover from the power-saving status byauthenticating fingerprints that havepreviously been registered, thus omittingentering a password.

• Canceling password-protected screensaver

You can lock your computer if the screensaver is password-protected. However, youhave to cancel this lock when canceling thescreen saver.With use of fingerprint authentication, justauthenticating fingerprints that havepreviously been registered enables this lockto be canceled, thus omitting entering apassword.

• Logging into the homepage that requiresan ID (user name) and a password

To log into the homepage of which securityis set up, you may have to enter log-ininformation such as an ID (user name) anda password.With fingerprint authentication, you can loginto these homepages by just authenticatingfingerprints if log-in information is previouslymemorized for specific homepages.Status for entering log-in information differsdepending on homepages; direct enteringlog-in information into homepages, andindication of screens specific to entering. Ineither case, log-in using fingerprintauthentication can be performed.

It is unnecessary to inputa password.

You can log onto Windows orrecover from thepower-savingstatus byauthenticatingthe fingerprintsthat have beenregistered.

This chapter describes how to change theinformation registered for using fingerprintauthentication.

After the registration of fingerprintauthentication has been completed, donot change the user name that is requiredfor logging on to Windows and the username that has been set to the registrationinformation of fingerprint authentication.

• Registration information

Registration information includes a username, a password, a fingerprint, and log-ininformation on homepages. Whenregistration information is updated, delete allof registration information such as a username and a password before reregisteringit.However, when adding new fingerprints oradding/deleting log-in information forhomepages, it is unnecessary to delete theregistered information on fingerprintauthentication.

• User name

Do not change a user name.
