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.
A low-battery condition exists when
the battery has less than 10 percent
of its power remaining. This section
shows 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
