Using the Battery

The removable NiCad battery powers the computer when the AC adapter is not connected. The length of time the battery can provide power depends on how you use the computer. If you use a bright screen display and access the hard disk and diskette drive often, you consume more battery power and shorten the length of the charge.

The computer alerts you by flashing the low battery light when the battery is low. When you have only 1 to 3 minutes of battery power remaining, the system beeps loudly. If you have the AC adapter, you can connect it now and continue using the computer. Otherwise, save your work and exit your program to preserve any data.

To increase the amount of time you can use the computer without electrical power, you can purchase additional batteries. Maintaining a supply of charged batteries allows you to replace a spent battery and continue your work.

Note

Use only the battery designed for use with the ActionNote (model number A880632).
