Low Battery Conditions

Two warnings alert you when your system’s battery is low and needs charging. The first warning is the orange battery indicator light blinking slowly. The system speaker will also beep (if system sound is enabled). The first warning gives you about five minutes to quit working, save your data, or connect the AC adapter to the system. After that, your data could be lost.

At the second warning the orange battery indicator light blinks rapidly and the system speaker beeps again (if system sound is enabled). After the second warning, the system could shut down at any moment, erasing all your unsaved work.

Warning!

Systems containing more than the base amount of system memory might have a slightly shorter initial low-battery warning.

Note: If your low battery warning volumes are set to OFF, the system speaker will not beep to alert you to a low battery problem.

If you receive a low battery warning, you should immediately do the following:

If your AC adapter and a power outlet are available:

1.Set in suspend mode by pushing the suspend/resume button.

2.Connect the AC adapter to the system.

3.Resume the system from suspend mode by pushing the suspend/ resume button.
