Responding to
Low Battery Conditions
3-4
The notebook has battery-low warning signals
that are both audible and visible. When the
battery has 5% to 10% of its charge remaining,
the power indicator light
found to the left of the
power switch flashes at regular intervals until
the battery power is depleted. The buzzer also
generates four continuous beeps every minute if
you enabled the
BATTERY-LOW WARNING BEEP
parameter in Setup.
When the power indicator light starts to blink,
you usually have around 3 minutes remaining
before the computer enters suspend mode. The
time remaining depends on the battery, the
computer, and the activity it is performing.
The following actions can maximize the time
before the battery is depleted and minimize the
effect of losing power:
Turn the screen brightness and contrast
control to the lowest possible setting.
Save your work in progress to minimize the
danger of losing data.
If you are using a
RAM
disk, save the
contents of the
RAM
disk to the hard disk.
Press the
Suspend to Disk
button to put
the computer into standby and/or suspend-
to-disk mode whenever you are not actively
using the computer.
