Operating on Battery Power 2-15
2.6 Battery-low Warning
You never have to worry about battery power as long as you are using the
AC adapter. However, when you operate the notebook on battery power,
pay extra attention to the warning beeps and the power indicator. The
power indicator flashes when the battery power is low.
The following signals indicate a battery-low condition:
• The buzzer generates four short beeps every minute, if you enabled
the Battery-low Warning Beep parameter in Setup
• The power indicator flashes at regular intervals until battery power is
depleted
When you receive a battery-low warning, you have around three minutes
1
to
save your work. If you do not connect the AC adapter within this period, the
notebook enters suspend mode if the Standby/Suspend upon Battery-low
parameter in Setup is enabled and the following conditions exist:
• There is enough battery power left to save system information onto the
hard disk.
• The reserved disk space for saving these data is larger than the
combined system and video memory size.
Otherwise, the notebook enters system standby mode.
Connect the AC adapter as soon as possible. Data is lost
when notebook power is cut off during system standby mode.

You may have less than three minutes if your battery has not been fully charged.
