Identifying a Low Battery Condition
When a low battery condition occurs, the computer beeps every 15
seconds and the battery power light blinks.
CAUTION: When you are alerted to a low battery condition, very
little battery charge remains. Take immediate action to resolve the
low battery condition.
When a low battery condition is reached, save your files and
initiate Hibernation before replacing the battery pack.
When a critical low battery condition occurs, the system initiates
Hibernation. It is recommended that Hibernation be enabled at all
times to safeguard against possible data loss in a critical low
battery condition.
CAUTION: If Hibernation is disabled, the computer does not initiate
Hibernation when a critical low battery condition is reached. When
this occurs, all unsaved data is lost.
Resolving a Low Battery Condition
Resolve a low battery condition when another power source is
available by using one of these methods:
■ Connecting to external power (refer to Chapter 1)
■ Charging with an optional external Battery Charger
■ Connecting to the optional Automobile Power
Adapter/Charger
■ Connecting to the optional Aircraft Power Adapter (Does not
charge battery packs.)
■ Docking the computer in an optional docking base that is
connected to external power
■ Replacing the battery pack
