Getting to Know Your LifeBook
Figure 2-9 Status Indicator Panel
Status Indicator Panel
The Status Indicator displays symbols that correspond to
a specific component of your Fujitsu LifeBook note-
book. These symbols tell you how each of those compo-
nents are operating. (Figure 2-9)
POWER INDICATOR
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.
■Steady On: This means that there is power to your
LifeBook notebook and that it is ready for use.
■Flashing: This means that your LifeBook notebook is
in Suspend mode.
■Steady Off: This means that your system is either in
Hibernation mode, or that your LifeBook 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.
DC-IN INDICATOR
The DC-In indicator states that your notebook is
powered by an external source such as an AC adapter or
Auto/Airline adapter.
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATORS
The 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 LifeBook note-
book. (Figure 2-10)
