BATTERY LOW

When the battery capacity is low and no adapter is plugged in, the system will generate the following

battery low warning:

• Flash power LED with 1 Hz.

• Issue 4 short beeps per minute (if enabled in setup).

• If the AC adapter does not plug in within 3 minutes and the “Standby/Hibernation upon Battery-

low” in BIOS SETUP is enabled, the system will enter Standby/0-Volt Hibernation Mode. The

battery low warning will stop as soon as the AC adapter is plugged into the system.

THE AUTODIM PROCESS OF THE LCD BRIGHTNESS

The notebook has a unique “automatic dim” power saving feature. When the notebook is using

AC power and you disconnect the AC adapter from the notebook, the system “decides” whether or

not to automatically dim the LCD backlight to save power.

If the LCD backlight is too bright, the system automatically adjusts it to a manageable level;

otherwise, the level stays the same. If you want a brighter picture, you can then adjust the

brightness and contrast level using hotkeys (Fn-F2).

If you reconnect AC power to the system, the system automatically adjusts the LCD backlight to its

original level — the brightness and contrast level before disconnecting the AC adapter. If you

adjusted the brightness and contrast level after disconnecting AC power, the level stays the same

after you reconnect the AC adapter.

There are two reasons for the notebook to have the LCD AutoDim feature. The first is to save the

power during the notebook is operating under the DC mode. The second is to save the “favorite”

brightness parameter set by the user.
