The system supports two low-battery warning codes: The first low-battery warning occurs when the main battery has 15 minutes or less of charge remaining. The amber battery indicator blinks once per second. The second low-battery warning occurs when the main battery has 5 minutes or less of charge remaining. The amber battery indicator lights up without blinking. If no user activity occurs within 15 seconds, the system automatically enters suspend (or standby mode for Windows 98) or suspend-to-disk. Several error codes indicate temporary or fatal battery conditions. Refer to "Battery Failure Codes" in Chapter 3 for a listing of these codes. The keyboard controls the operation of the numbers lock (Num Lock) indicator, the capitals lock (Caps Lock) indicator, and the Scroll Lock indicator, all of which are visible through openings at the top of the keyboard. These indicators are associated with the key, the key, and the key, respectively; when lit, the LEDs indicate the active state of their respective keys. These indicators also blink to indicate error codes. Refer to "POST Error Codes" in Chapter 3 for a listing of these codes. Pressing the power button on the Latitude CP or CPi computer, C/Dock Expansion Station, or the C/Port APR initiates a change from the current power state to a different state. The protocols for the power state changes are as follows: If the computer is off (power indicator is off) and the display is open, pressing the power button initiates a boot operation. If the computer is on (power indicator is on) and the display is open but off, pressing the power button causes the display to turn on. If the computer is in suspend mode (or standby mode for Windows 98) (power indicator is off), pressing the power button turns on the computer. (A modem ring or system alarm event will also turn on the computer.) Pressing the power button for 4 seconds causes the computer to power down. If the computer is in suspend mode (or standby mode for Windows 98) (power indicator is off), the display is closed, and no external monitor is attached, pressing the power button on the Latitude C/Port APR or C/Dock Expansion Station has no effect on the power state. The computer remains in suspend mode (or standby mode for Windows 98). If the computer is in suspend-to-disk mode and the display is open or an external monitor is connected, pressing the power button causes the computer to initiate the resume-from-disk operation.
