Critical Low-Battery Condition
If a low-battery condition is not resolved, the notebook enters a
critical low-battery condition (one percent of a full charge). In a
critical low-battery condition:
If Hibernation is enabled and the notebook is on or in
Standby, the notebook initiates Hibernation.
If Hibernation is disabled and the notebook is on or in
Standby, the notebook remains in Standby until there is no
power, then shuts down and loses your unsaved work.
For more information about Hibernation and Standby, refer on
this CD to the Software Guide, “Power” chapter.
Resolving Low-Battery Conditions
CAUTION: If the notebook has reached a critical low-battery
condition and has initiated Hibernation, do not press the power
button until Hibernation is complete. Hibernation is complete when
the power light turns off.
When a Charged Battery Pack is Available
To resolve a low-battery condition when a charged battery pack
is available, turn off the notebook or initiate Hibernation, insert a
charged battery pack, then turn on the notebook.
When External Power Is Available
To resolve a low-battery condition when external power is
available, select one of the following options:
Connect the AC Adapter.
Plug an optional Automobile Power Adapter/Charger into
the notebook and into a vehicle cigarette lighter receptacle.
