Power and PowerUp Modes
Power indicators
The Battery, DC IN 15V and Power indicators on the system indicator panel alert you to the computer’s operating capability and battery charge status.

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

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, charging will resume. This event occurs regardless of whether the power to the computer is on or off.

| supplying proper power to the computer. |
