(cont’d)

Battery charge does not

last as long as expected.

Your Notebook has entered the Low Battery state, but it did not beep.

Your Notebook is beeping and the Low Battery warning appears or the battery gauge is below 10%.

Battery is at the end of its life.

Volume is set too low to hear the warning beep, or a CD is playing and the alarm does not interrupt play to issue a warning beep.

Your Notebook has entered a Low Battery stage.

Replace the battery. Refer to “Recycling the Battery” in this guide for battery recycling information.

Adjust volume if necessary.

If possible, immediately connect your Notebook to AC power. If connecting to AC power is not possible, you have the following choices:

•Save your files and perform a normal Windows shut down.

•Initiate Hibernation by

pressing the Power ª button.

•Let your Notebook go into Hibernation automatically (if enabled).
