Power indicators

The Battery, DC IN and Power indicators on the system indicator panel 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 conditions should be noted:

Blinking orange	Indicates battery charge is below low battery
	trigger point.
Orange	Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and
	charging the battery.
White/Green	Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and the
	battery is fully charged.

	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 event occurs regardless of whether the power to the computer is on or off.
