Monitoring main battery power

 

NOTE

If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, either the

 

 

 

battery pack is malfunctioning, or it is not receiving correct

 

 

 

input from the AC power supply.

 

 

 

Disconnect the AC power cord/cable and remove the battery

 

 

 

pack. See “Changing the main battery” on page 119 for

 

 

 

information on replacing the main battery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HINT: Be careful not to confuse the battery light (

 

), the on/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

off light (

 

), and the power button light (above the keyboard).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the on/off light or power button light flashes amber, it

 

 

 

 

 

 

indicates that the system is suspended (using Windows® XP

 

 

 

Standby command).
