Monitoring of power condition

As shown in the below table, the Battery, 2nd battery, DC IN and 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 main battery and the 2nd battery indicator to determine the status of the 2nd battery. The following indicator lights indicate the battery status:

Flashing orange The battery charge is low, the AC adaptor must be

	connected in order to recharge the battery.
Orange	Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and the
	battery is charging.
Blue	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 pack becomes too hot while it is being charged, the charge will stop and the 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.

DC IN indicator

Check the DC IN indicator to determine the power status with the AC adaptor connected - the following indicator conditions should be noted:

Blue	Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and is
	correctly supplying power to the computer.
Flashing orange 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.
