Fixing a Low-Battery Condition
J
Tip
If you will not be using your notebook for an extended period
of time, Compaq recommends that you unplug the electrical cord
from the outlet and remove the battery.
A low-battery condition exists when
the battery has less than 10 percent
of its power remaining. This section
shows you how to correct a
low-battery condition and what to
do if your notebook loses all battery
power.
When your notebook loses all battery power, it begins
Hibernation, a process that cannot be interrupted. If Hibernation
has begun, you must allow your notebook to finish saving your
information and shut off automatically before you try to correct
the low-battery condition.
The availability of an AC wall outlet will determine which
solution you should use to correct a low-battery condition.
Use one of the following options:
■
Connect the AC Adapter
■
Replace the Drained Battery with a Charged One
■
Suspend Your Work
