REPLACING THE BATTERY With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on. CAUTION When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you turn off the power with the power switch, or remove all power sources while your LifeBook is in Suspend mode, any data that has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost. (a) Battery Release Panel (d) Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your LifeBook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your LifeBook while an adapter is charging the battery.
