When the AC power light/Battery light or ON/OFF light flashes amber, it indicates that the system is suspended (using the Windows operating system Sleep command). Left side System indicator lights Right side AC power light/Battery light Wireless indicator light Power button/Power button light (Sample Illustration) Power and battery light locations Determining remaining battery power NOTE Wait a few moments after turning on the computer before trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The computer needs this time to check the battery's remaining capacity and perform its calculations. Click or touch the Power icon in the notification area, see "Finding your way around the desktop" on page 80 for more information on the notification area. A pop-up message displays the remaining battery power as a percentage. With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. A frequently used older battery does not power the computer for as long as a new battery, even when both are fully charged. 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.
