- Lithium ion Battery
Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If you do not respond
to the low battery message, the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate.
When this happens, your notebook will go into Standby mode. There is no guarantee that your data
will be saved once the notebook reaches this point.
Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Standby mode. 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 adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power,
you will need to press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source
is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost
the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while
an adapter is charging the battery.
USING HEAVY CURRENT DEVICES SUCH AS THE MODEM OR FREQUENT DVD/CD-RW/CD-ROM
ACCESSES MAY PREVENT CHARGING COMPLETELY.
■
ONCE THE LOW BATTERY NOTIFICATION MESSAGE APPEARS, YOU NEED TO SAVE ALL YOUR ACTIVE DATA AND PUT
YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK INTO STANDBY MODE UNTIL YOU CAN PROVIDE A NEW POWER SOURCE. YOU SHOULD
PROVIDE A CHARGED BATTERY, AN AC POWER ADAPTER, OR AUTO/AIRLINE ADAPTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
■
WHEN YOU ARE IN STANDBY MODE THERE MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE POWER SOURCE ACTIVE. IF YOU
REMOVE ALL POWER SOURCES WHILE YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK IS IN STANDBY MODE, ANY DATA THAT HAS NOT
BEEN SAVED TO THE HARD DRIVE WILL BE LOST.
