Identifying Low-Battery Conditions
When a battery pack that is the only power source for the
notebook reaches a low-battery condition, a text warning message
is displayed, and the battery light blinks.
If a low-battery condition is not resolved and the amount of
charge remaining in the battery pack continues to drop, the
notebook eventually enters a critical low-battery condition. If
the notebook is on or in standby when a critical low-battery
condition is reached:
■ If hibernation is enabled, the system initiates hibernation.
Some unsaved work may be lost.
■ If hibernation is disabled, the notebook remains briefly in
standby, and then shuts
down. All unsaved work is lost.
Hibernation is enabled by default. To verify that hibernation
remains enabled, select Start > Control Panel > Performance
and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab. If
hibernation is enabled, the Enable Hibernation check box is
selected.
