Monitoring the power condition

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

DC IN/Battery indicator

Check the DC IN/Battery indicator to determine the status of the battery pack and the power status with the AC adaptor connected. The following indicator conditions should be noted:

Green	Indicates the AC adaptor is connected while
	correctly supplying power to the computer and the
	battery is fully charged.
Amber	Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and the
	battery is charging.
Flashing amber	The battery charge is low, the AC adaptor must be
	connected in order to recharge the battery.
	Or, indicates a problem with the power supply. You
	should initially try plugging the AC adaptor into
	another power outlet - if it still does not operate
	properly, you should contact your reseller or dealer.
No light	Under any other conditions, the indicator does not
	light.

If the battery pack becomes too hot while it is being charged, the charge will stop and the DC IN/Battery indicator will go out. When the battery pack's temperature falls to a normal range, charging will resume - this process will occur regardless of whether the computer's power is on or off.
