Low Battery Conditions
3-4
There are two battery low stages in this
computer. When the battery capacity reaches
7% (about 10 minutes remaining), the computer
enters the first stage of battery-low warning. At
this time the battery-low LED, found on the LCD
center hinge, flashes and an audible warning
sounds. You can keep the battery audible
warning from ever sounding by disabling the
BATTERY LOW WARNING BEEP option in Setup. If the
BATTERY LOW SUSPEND option is enabled in Setup,
the computer enters 0V Suspend mode after 1
minute of system inactivity if no AC is plugged
in.
When the battery capacity reaches 4% capacity
(about 2 minutes remaining), a second audible
warning sounds. If the BATTERY LOW SUSPEND
option is enabled in Setup, the computer enters
0V Suspend mode after 10 seconds of system
inactivity if no AC is plugged in.
The following actions can maximize the time
before the battery is depleted and minimize the
effect of losing power:
q Set the screen brightness and contrast
control to the lowest possible setting.
q Save your work in progress to minimize the
danger of losing data.
q If you are using a RAM disk, save the
contents of the RAM disk to the hard disk
drive.
