Identifying Low-Battery Conditions

When a battery pack that is the only power source for the notebook reaches a low-battery condition, a text warning message is displayed, and the battery light blinks.

If a low-battery condition is not resolved and the amount of charge remaining in the battery pack continues to drop, the notebook eventually enters a critical low-battery condition. If the notebook is on or in standby when a critical low-battery condition is reached:

■If hibernation is enabled, the system initiates hibernation. Some unsaved work may be lost.

■If hibernation is disabled, the notebook remains briefly in standby, and then shuts down. All unsaved work is lost.

Hibernation is enabled by default. To verify that hibernation remains enabled, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab. If hibernation is enabled, the Enable Hibernation check box is selected.
