Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi- cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook while an adapter is charging the battery.

Shorted Batteries

The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display the operating level available in that battery. (See Figure 2-9 on page 12) If this display shows a Shorted Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your notebook.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold- swapping and hot-swapping:

Cold-swapping Batteries

To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-1)

1.Have a charged battery ready to install.

2.Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC adapter.

3.Unlock the battery by pushing the lock button away from the battery.

4.While holding the lock button, slide the release latch to the left until the bright orange indicator is visible.

5.Remove the battery from the bay by lifting it at the lock point.

6.Position the new battery as shown (Figure 4-2), then press the new battery into the bay.

7.While pressing the lock, slide the release latch to the right to cover the orange indicator to lock the battery in place.

8.Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.

Hot-swapping Batteries

To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these steps: (Figure 4-1)

Be sure to plug in an AC Adapter prior to

removing the battery. There is no bridge battery present to support the system while the battery is being replaced. If you do not use an AC Adapter you will lose any unsaved files.

1.Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it to a power outlet.
