Battery-low Warning
You never have to worry about battery power as long as you
are using the AC adapter.
However, when you operate the
computer on battery power, pay extra attention to the
warning beeps and the power indicator on the display
panel.
The following signals indicate a battery-low condition:
The buzzer generates four short beeps every minute, if
you enabled the Battery-low Warning Beep parameter in
Setup
The power indicator flashes at regular intervals until
battery power is depleted
When you receive a battery-low warning, you have around
three minutes to save your work.
If you do not connect the
AC adapter within this period, the computer enters
Hibernation mode if the Battery Low Suspend parameter in
Setup is enabled and the following conditions exist:
The Hibernation file created by PHDISK is present and
valid.
See “PhDISK” on page 71.
There is enough battery power left to save system
information onto the hard disk.
Otherwise, the computer enters Standby mode.
Warning: Connect the AC adapter to the computer as
soon as possible. Data is lost when computer power
is cut off during Standby mode.
