3.1.6 Battery Low Condition
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 battery indicator (
).
Generally speaking, a battery-low condition occurs when less than twenty
percent charge left is in the battery. The following signals a battery-low
condition:
•
The battery indicator ( ) flashes until battery power is depleted or
until AC power is applied
•
The fuel gauge (accessed via
-
T
) turns red
When you receive a battery-low warning, you have about fifteen minutes to
save your work. If you do not connect the AC adapter or install a backup
battery pack within fifteen minutes, the notebook enters suspend-to-disk
mode if the following conditions exist:
•
There is enough battery power left to save system information onto the
hard disk.
•
The suspend-to-disk file created by the Sleep Manager is present and
valid
•
All suspend-to-disk conditions are matched. See section 3.2.2.
Otherwise, the notebook enters suspend-to-memory mode.
Connect the AC adapter or insert a charged battery pack into
the notebook as soon as possible to prevent data loss.
