For the computer to shut down in hibernation mode, the hibernation

 

feature must be enabled in two places in TOSHIBA Power Saver: the

 

Hibernate window and the Battery Alarm item of the Alarm window. If

 

a main battery and a secondary battery are installed, the computer

 

does not shut down until the charge in both batteries is exhausted.

The Main battery, Slim Select Bay, DC IN and Power indicators on the system indicator panel alert you to the computer’s operating capability and battery charge status.

Check the Main battery indicator to determine the status of the main battery and the Slim Select Bay indicator to determine the status of the secondary battery. The following indicator lights indicate the battery status:

Flashing orange

be connected to recharge the battery.

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.
