mode. (Figure 2-3 on page 23.)

When you are in Suspend mode there
must always be at least one power source
active. If you turn off the power with
the power switch, or remove all power
sources, battery, AC adapter, or auto/
airline adapter, while your notebook is in
Suspend mode any data which has not
been saved to the hard drive will be lost.
Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery
Suspend mode you will be unable to resume
operation until you provide a source of power
either from an AC adapter, an optional auto/
airline adapter, or a charged battery. Dead
Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status
indicator just like the normal Suspend mode.
Once you have provided power, you will need
to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume
operation. In the Suspend mode, your data can
be maintained for sometime. If a power source
is not provided promptly, the Power indicator
will stop flashing and go out,and you will have
lost the data that was not stored.

You may not be able to hear the audio
alarms if the volume control is set too
low or is turned off by either hardware
or software but you will still be able to
see the Battery Level indicator(s) flash.
When the low battery alarm occurs you need to
save all your active data and put your notebook
into Suspend mode until you can provide a new
power source. You should provide this power as
soon as possible. The new power source can be
a charged battery or a power adapter, either AC
or auto/airline.

Once you provide power you can continue to
use your notebook while an adapter is charging
the battery, but the battery trickle charges
under these conditions. If you want to charge
the battery more quickly, put your notebook
into Suspend mode, or turn off your notebook,
while the adapter is charging the battery. (See
Power Off on page 28 for shutdown procedures.)
