When the battery reaches a critical battery level, a notification appears above the battery meter icon that shows how much battery charge remains.

NOTE: For additional information on the battery meter, refer to Using the battery meter on page 40.

The computer takes the following actions for a critical battery level:

●If Hibernation is enabled and the computer is on or in the Sleep state, the computer initiates Hibernation.

●If Hibernation is disabled and the computer is on or in the Sleep state, the computer remains briefly in the Sleep state, and then shuts down and loses any unsaved information.
