Managing low-battery conditions The information in this section describes the alerts and system responses set at the factory. Some lowbattery condition alerts and system responses can be changed using Power Options in Windows Control Panel. Preferences set using Power Options do not affect lights. Identifying low-battery conditions This section explains how to identify low-battery and critical low-battery conditions. Low-battery condition When a battery that is the sole power source for the computer reaches a low-battery condition, the battery light blinks in an amber color. Critical low-battery condition If a low-battery condition is not resolved, the computer enters a critical low-battery condition, and the battery light blinks rapidly. The computer resolves a critical low-battery condition in the following ways: ● If hibernation is enabled and the computer is on or in standby, the computer initiates hibernation. ● If hibernation is disabled and the computer is on or in standby, the computer remains briefly in standby, and then shuts down and loses any unsaved information. Perform the following task to be sure that hibernation is enabled: 1. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab. 2. Be sure that the Enable hibernation support check box is selected. ENWW Managing low-battery conditions 21

Managing low-battery conditions
The information in this section describes the alerts and system responses set at the factory. Some low-
battery condition alerts and system responses can be changed using Power Options in Windows Control
Panel. Preferences set using Power Options do not affect lights.
Identifying low-battery conditions
This section explains how to identify low-battery and critical low-battery conditions.
Low-battery condition
When a battery that is the sole power source for the computer reaches a low-battery condition, the
battery light blinks in an amber color.
Critical low-battery condition
If a low-battery condition is not resolved, the computer enters a critical low-battery condition, and the
battery light blinks rapidly.
The computer resolves a critical low-battery condition in the following ways:
●
If hibernation is enabled and the computer is on or in standby, the computer initiates hibernation.
●
If hibernation is disabled and the computer is on or in standby, the computer remains briefly in
standby, and then shuts down and loses any unsaved information.
Perform the following task to be sure that hibernation is enabled:
1.
Select
Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate
tab.
2.
Be sure that the
Enable hibernation support
check box is selected.
