CTRL-ALT-DEL keys.
3.4.4 Responding to Low Battery Conditions
The computer generally will notify you when you are reaching a low battery
condition by one of the following:
During peak power uses such as disk accesses, the Charge indicator
blinks
In Windows, double-clicking on the "Battery-Level" icon in the Notebook
Group gives an estimate of the percentage of battery charge remaining.
The battery packs contain four LEDs that display relative battery charge
levels (more LEDs lit, the greater the remaining charge). If a single LED
is lit on the front of the battery pack, the charge level is below 25%.
When the battery packs reach 10% charge levels, the Charge LED
blinks and the low-battery alarm begins chirping (if enabled in the
Setup Program). Typically, only a few minutes remain before complete
system shutdown occurs.
3.4.5 Minimizing Power Usage
The following actions can minimize power usage and protect your work
during the critical minutes before you shut the system down or replace on
the battery packs with a fully charged pack:
Press CTRL-SUSPEND to shut off the alarm (if its enabled)
Turn screen brightness to the lowest possible setting
Press CTRL-ALT-DOWN ARROW to reduce processor speed
Save all work in progress to prevent losing data
