Power indicators

As shown in the above table, the Battery Power indicators on the system indicator alert you to the computer’s operating capability and battery charge status.

Battery indicator

Check the Battery indicator to determine the status of the battery pack. The following indicator lights indicate the battery status:

Flashing orange	The battery charge is low. The AC adaptor must
	be connected to recharge the battery.
Orange	Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and
	charging the battery.
White	Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and the
	battery is fully charged.
No light	Under any other conditions, the indicator does not
	light.

If the battery becomes too hot while it is being charged, the charge will stop and the battery indicator will go out. When the battery’s temperature falls to a normal range, charge will resume. This occurs whether the computer’s power is on or off.
