●Blinking amber: The battery has reached a low battery level or critical battery level and is not charging.

Managing low battery levels

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

Identifying low battery levels

When a battery that is the sole power source for the computer reaches a low battery level, the battery light blinks.

If a low battery level is not resolved, the computer enters a critical battery level, and the battery light begins blinking rapidly. If the computer is on or in Standby, the computer remains briefly in Standby, and then shuts down and loses any unsaved information.

Resolving a low battery level

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of losing information when the computer reaches a critical battery level, do not restore power until the power lights turn off.

Resolving a low battery level when external power is available

▲Connect one of the following devices:

●AC adapter

●Optional docking device

●Optional power adapter

Resolving a low battery level when a charged battery is available

1.Turn off the computer.

2.Remove the discharged battery, and then insert a charged battery.
