the Shift key.

When this mode is enabled, the arrow keys can be used as function keys for screen-scrolling, but not for
moving the cursor. To enable or disable this mode, press the ScrLk key. Not all application programs
support this function.
Power-status indicators
The computer has status indicators that show the mode (sleep/standby, hibernation, or normal) and the
status of the battery. The following shows the location and the meaning of the indicators:
1 Battery status
• Green: The battery has more than 20% charge.
• Orange: The battery has between 5% and 20% charge
• Fast blinking orange: The battery has less than 5% charge.
Note: The battery may be charging.
• Slow blinking orange: The battery is being charged. When it reaches 20%, the blinking color changes to
green.
• Slow blinking green: The battery has between 20% and 80% charge, and charging is continuing.
When the battery reaches 80% charge, blinking stops, but the charging may continue until the battery is
100% charged.
• Quick blinking orange: An error has occurred in the battery.
• The battery status indicator is off: The battery is fully charged or the battery is detached.
Note: If the computer is operating on battery power, the battery status indicator does not work while the
computer is turned off or is in sleep (standby) mode or hibernation mode.
2 Sleep (standby in Windows XP) status
