Icon Meaning

Main battery is low.

Main battery is very low.

External (AC) power source is connected and/or main battery is charging.

Note that when the charge level in the battery pack gets very low, an exclamation mark (!) appears beside the battery icon.

Shortly after the battery icon explanation mark appears, a warning message appears to explain that the device cannot continue operating because of insufficient battery charge, and the device shuts down.

NOTE: To save power, the backlight is automatically disabled when the exclamation mark (!) appears beside the battery icon.

Responding to a Low Battery Pack

When the battery icon appears in the task bar, be aware that the battery pack charge level is low. If you can’t connect the AC adapter or install a spare charged battery pack, you may continue working but avoid using heavy power-consuming features such as the screen backlight or CompactFlash cards.

When the exclamation mark (!) appears beside the battery icon, save any unsaved data you are working on and turn off the device. Don’t try to restart the device until you have connected to a power outlet using the AC adapter or you have replaced the discharged battery pack with a fully charged battery pack.
