Low-Battery Warning

NOTICE: To avoid losing or corrupting data, save your work immediately after a low-battery warning, then connect the computer to an electrical outlet. If the battery runs completely out of power, Sleep state begins automatically.

A pop-up window warns you when the battery charge is approximately 90 percent depleted. The computer enters Sleep state when the battery charge is at a critically low level.

You can change the settings for the battery alarms in Dell QuickSet or the Power Options window (see "Configuring Power Management Settings" on page 54).

Conserving Battery Power

To conserve battery power on your portable computer, do any of the following:

Connect the computer to an electrical outlet when possible; battery life is largely determined by the number of times the battery is used and recharged.

Configure the power management settings using either Dell QuickSet or Microsoft Windows Power Options to optimize your computer’s power usage (see "Configuring Power Management Settings" on page 54).

Use the Sleep power state when you leave the computer unattended for long periods of time (see "Using the Sleep Power State" on page 55).

Configuring Power Management Settings

You can use Dell QuickSet or Windows Power Options to configure the power management settings on your computer.

For information on how to use the Dell QuickSet Power Management wizard, right-click the QuickSet icon in the notification area, click Help, and then select Power Management.
