Resolving a Low-Battery Condition with a
Charged Battery Pack
CAUTION:
If you are removing the battery pack while the computer
is on, you can prevent loss of information by initiating Hibernation
before removing the battery pack.
1. Stop working and save your work immediately.
2. Either press the suspend button to initiate Suspend or press the
Fn+Suspend
buttons to initiate Hibernation.
3. Remove the discharged battery pack.
4. Insert a fully charged battery pack.
5. Exit Hibernation.
Resolving a Low Battery Condition When
No Power Source Is Available
To resolve a low battery condition when no power source is
available, do one of the following:
■
Initiate Suspend if you have a spare fully charged battery
pack. After you have inserted the spare battery pack, press the
Suspend button to exit Suspend. All information returns to the
screen at the point where Suspend was initiated. Power
continues to be used, but at a slower rate. If the battery pack
fully discharges while the computer is in Suspend, all unsaved
data will be lost.
■
Initiate Hibernation until a power source is available. This
automatically saves all current information in memory to the
hard disk and turns off the computer. When power is available
and the computer is turned on, all information returns to the
screen at the point where Hibernation was initiated.
■
Save your information, then turn off the computer until a
power source is available.
