Monitoring main battery power
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3.2
TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at
low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if
you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based
on your current rate of power use and other factors such as the
age of the battery.
What to do when the main battery runs low
When the main battery runs low you can:
❖
Plug the computer into an external power source and
recharge the main battery
❖ Place the computer into Hibernation mode and replace
the main battery with a charged spare
❖ Connect the computer to an optional high capacity
battery (if available for your computer)
❖ Save your work and turn off the computer
If you do not manage to do any of these things before the
main battery completely runs out of power, the computer
automatically enters Hibernation mode and turns itself off.
Hibernation mode keeps track of where you were, so that
when you turn on the power again, you can continue where
you left off.
If you have Hibernation mode enabled (the default), the
computer copies the details of your open programs and files
to the hard disk before shutting down. For more information
on using Hibernation, see “Hibernation mode” on page 74.
