Quick Tips
It takes approximately 4 hours to charge a fully discharged single battery
with unit off or in suspend mode.
Optimizing Battery Life
• Set power management setting for best battery life.
• Adjust display brightness levels to lowest comfortable setting.
• Utilize Suspend mode when not using your notebook.
• Read the Power Management section in your User’s Guide for additional
features.
• Remove PC Cards and Express Cards when not needed
• Turn off Wireless LAN when not in use
• Close unused programs
• Remove unused USB powered devices
Adjusting Display Brightness
• Fn + F6 to decrease brightness
• Fn + F7 to increase brightness
Adjusting Volume
• Fn + F8 to decrease volume
• Fn + F9 to increase volume
Heat damage to your Lithium ion battery
• Extended exposure to heat will have a negative impact on your battery.
Do not expose your notebook to excessive heat such as leaving it in
the car on a hot summer day. If you are near an outlet and playing
a graphics-intensive game, it is recommended that you remove the
battery from the unit to avoid exposing it to excessive heat.
Discharging your battery
• Full battery discharges (to unit shutdown or 0%) should be avoided. It
is recommended that batteries only be partially discharged to levels of
20-30% before recharging.
Prolonged storage
• If your notebook isn’t going to be used for a while, you should remove
its Lithium ion battery. To store a battery for long periods of time, its
charge capacity should be around 40% and store it in a cool dry place.
Purchasing a replacement battery
• Only purchase a replacement battery from Fujitsu. Ensure that you
purchase a battery that is specifically designed for your model
computer. It is recommended that you purchase a replacement battery
only when the current battery has noticeably degraded; unused
batteries will still suffer degradation when stored.
If the battery pack is installed while the power is turned off,
the battery level indicator will display the charge level for
five seconds after it blinks orange.
If the AC adapter is not connected or the battery pack is not
fully charged when the computer is switched to standby
mode, the indicator will blink.
Batteries subjected to shocks, vibration or extreme
temperatures can be permanently damaged.
A shorted battery is damaged and must be replaced.

Recycling your battery
Over time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to
hold a charge for a shorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence
for all batteries. When this occurs, you may want to replace the battery
with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is important that you dispose of
the old battery properly because batteries contain materials that could cause
environmental damage if disposed of improperly.
Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection and has enlisted the
services of the Rechargeable Battery Recycle Corporation (RBRC)*, a non-
profit public service organization dedicated to protecting our environment by
recycling old batteries at no cost to you.
RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the
United States and Canada. To find the location nearest you, go to www.RBRC.org
or call 1-899-822-8837.
If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the
EIA Consumer Education Initiative website (http://EIAE.org/) and search for a
convenient disposal location.
Remember—protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you should
make every effort to protect it for current and future generations.
*To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu
shopping site at www.shopfujitsu.com in the U.S.A. or www.fujitsu.ca/products/
notebooks in Canada.
**RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding for
battery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with Fujitsu.
