Battery Low Signals and Actions
Battery Low occurs when the battery has approximately 10 % (Windows
default setting) of its charge remaining. The computer gives warning
beeps or messages and the Battery Charge Indicator (
) blinks amber
(orange) to alert you to take actions.
NOTE:
You can set up your threshold and signals of Battery Low under Windows.
Immediately save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating
time depends on how you are using the computer. If you are using the
audio subsystem, PC card, hard or optical drives, the battery might run
out of charge very quickly.
Always respond to Battery Low by placing your computer on the Standby
or Hibernation mode, turning off the computer, or connecting the AC
adapter.
If you do not take any action, the computer will automatically hibernate
and turn off.
