Battery-low Warning

You never have to worry about battery power as long as you are using the AC adapter. However, when you operate the computer on battery power, pay extra attention to the warning beeps and the power indicator on the display panel.

The following signals indicate a battery-low condition:

The buzzer generates four short beeps every minute, if you enabled the Battery-low Warning Beep parameter in Setup.

The power indicator flashes at regular intervals until battery power is depleted.

When you receive a battery-low warning, you have around two minutes to save your work. If you do not connect the AC adapter within this period, the computer enters Hibernation mode if the Battery Low Suspend parameter in Setup is enabled and the following conditions exist:

The Hibernation file created by PhDISK is present and valid. See “PhDISK” on page 73.

There is enough battery power left to save system information onto the hard disk.

Otherwise, the computer enters Standby mode.

Warning: Connect the AC adapter to the computer as soon as possible. Data is lost when computer power is cut off during Standby mode.
