Low battery alarm
When Power Management issues a low-battery alarm (which it will do when
the battery charge is 10% or less), save all work immediately and either connect
to AC power or put the tablet in Standby and switch to a new battery.
Recharging the battery
The battery recharges while it is installed and your tablet PC is connected to
AC power. While the battery is recharging, the battery status indicator turns
yellow and the battery icon in the taskbar has a lightning bolt .
Important When the battery reaches critical low capacity, the tablet
puts itself into Hibernate to preserve data in any open
programs.
Important If the power cord or battery icon does not appear on the
taskbar, tap the show hidden icons button. If the icon
still does not appear, make sure that Always show icon
on the taskbar is checked on the Advanced tab. See
“Changing advanced settings” on page 139 for more
information.
