Enabling the battery alarm
You can program your computer so that when the battery power falls below a certain level, three events
occur: the alarm goes off, a message is displayed, and the LCD is turned off. Do as follows:
1. Start Power Manager.
2. Click the Global Power Settings tab.
3. For Low battery alarm or Critically low battery alarm, set the percentage of the power level and set
the action.
Note: If your computer enters sleep (standby) or hibernation mode when the battery is low, but the alarm
message has not yet appeared, the message will appear when the computer resumes. To resume normal
operation, press OK.
