VAIO® C1 PictureBook™ Notebook User Guide Battery Indicator Light Battery Battery indicator Battery Indicator Light Status On Single-blink Double-blink Off Meaning The computer is using battery power. The battery is running out of power. The battery is charging. The computer is using AC power. ✍ Both the battery and power indicators blink when the battery is running out of power. Keep the battery pack in the computer while it is directly connected to AC power. The battery pack continues to charge while you are using the computer. If your battery level falls to less than 10%, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully-charged battery. You can extend battery life by changing the power management modes in the PowerPanel utility. See Using Power Saving Modes on page 59. The battery pack supplied with your computer is a lithium-ion battery and can be recharged at any time. Charging a partially discharged battery does not affect battery life. The battery indicator light is on while you use the battery pack as a power source. When battery life is nearly depleted, the battery indicator starts flashing. For some software applications and some peripheral devices, your computer may not enter system hibernation mode when the battery life is low. To avoid loss of data when using battery power, you should save your data frequently and manually activate a power management mode, such as system suspend or system hibernation. 28
