Caring for Your Battery

Fixing a Low-Battery Condition

JTip If you will not be using your Notebook for an extended period of time, Compaq recommends that you unplug the electrical cord from the outlet and remove the battery while your Notebook is not in use.

A low-battery condition exists when the battery has less than 10 percent of its power remaining. This section will show you how to correct a low-battery condition and what to do if your Notebook loses all battery power.

When your Notebook loses all battery power, it begins Hibernation, a process that cannot be interrupted. If Hibernation has begun, you must allow your Notebook to finish saving your information and shut off automatically before you try to correct the low-battery condition.

The availability of an AC wall outlet will determine which solution you should use to correct a low-battery condition.

Use one of the following options:

■Connect the AC Adapter

■Replace the Drained Battery with a Charged One

■Suspend Your Work
