Managing Power
3-8
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, ExpressCard, hard or USB flash disk, the battery might
run out of charge very quickly.
Always respond to Battery Low by placing your computer on Hibernation
mode, turning off the computer, or connecting the AC adapter.
CAUTION:
z
If you are using an ExpressCard, do not access the card during battery low periods.
This is because the access may take longer than the time it takes the battery to run
out of charge, thus making your access to the card unsuccessful.
z
If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out of charge, then
you lose your data.
