To replace the battery
The primary source of power for the OmniBook is its rechargeable battery. The
OmniBook provides several safeguards so that you won’t be surprised by a
dead-battery condition—the status panel shows the remaining battery charge, the
battery symbol blinks when the battery is low, and a lightning bolt symbol appears
on the status panel when the battery is charging.
To preserve your current work session, the OmniBook automatically turns off when
the battery charge gets too low—your session continues when you plug in the ac
adapter or insert a fresh battery.
1. Important
