Resolving Low-Battery Conditions

ÄCAUTION: To prevent problems when restoring from hibernation: If the notebook has reached a critical low-battery condition and has begun to initiate hibernation, do not restore power until hibernation is complete. When hibernation is complete, the power/standby lights are turned off.

To resolve a low-battery condition:

■If external power is available, connect the notebook to the external power source.

■If a charged battery pack is available, shut down the notebook or initiate hibernation. Insert a charged battery pack, and then turn on the notebook.

■If no power source is available, save your work. Then initiate hibernation or shut down the notebook.
