Using the Battery
The removable NiCad battery powers the computer when the
AC adapter is not connected. The length of time the battery can
provide power depends on how you use the computer. If you
use a bright screen display and access the hard disk and
diskette drive often, you consume more battery power and
shorten the length of the charge.
The computer alerts you by flashing the low battery light when
the battery is low. When you have only 1 to 3 minutes of
battery power remaining, the system beeps loudly. If you have
the AC adapter, you can connect it now and continue using the
computer. Otherwise, save your work and exit your program to
preserve any data.
To increase the amount of time you can use the computer
without electrical power, you can purchase additional batteries.
Maintaining a supply of charged batteries allows you to replace
a spent battery and continue your work.
Note
Use only the battery designed for use with the ActionNote
(model number A880632).
