Managing Low-Battery Conditions

Some low-battery condition alerts and system responses can be changed in the Power Options window of the operating system. The information in this section describes the alerts and system responses set at the factory. Preferences set in the Power Options window do not affect lights.

Identifying Low-Battery Conditions

This section explains how to identify low and critical low-battery conditions.

Low-Battery Condition

When a battery pack that is the sole power source for the notebook reaches a low-battery condition, the battery light blinks.

Critical Low-Battery Condition

If a low-battery condition is not resolved, the notebook enters a critical low-battery condition.

In a critical low-battery condition:

■If Hibernation is enabled and the notebook is on or in Standby, the notebook initiates Hibernation.

■If Hibernation is disabled and the notebook is on or in Standby, the notebook remains briefly in Standby, then shuts down and loses your unsaved work.

To verify that Hibernation is enabled, be sure that the Enable Hibernate Support check box on the Hibernate tab is selected. To access the tab:

■In Windows 2000, select Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click Power Options.

■In Windows XP, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options icon.
