or not the internal Lithium ion Smart battery
and the external Lithium ion Smart battery are
installed,and indicate the condition of each.

ion Smart battery and Battery 2 is the external
Lithium ion Smart battery. The battery
indicators are displayed only for a battery
which is installed.
A small arrow icon (Battery Charging indica-
tor) appears to the left of each of the Battery
Level indicators and above the number (Battery
identifier) if that battery is charging. The
Battery Charging indicator flashes if the battery
is too hot or too cold to charge. (Figure 2-3.)
The Battery Charging indicators operate
whether the power switch is Off or On.
The symbols inside the battery outline of the
Battery Level indicator show the operating level
available in that battery. (Figure 2-4.) If there is
no battery charging and the power switch is Off
then the AC Adapter indicator and the Battery
indicators will all be Off.
