Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator just like the normal Sleep mode. Once your note-
book goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be
unable to resume operation until you provide a source of
power either from an adapter, or a charged battery. Once
you have provided power, you will need to press the
Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume operation.
In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data can be
maintained for some time, but if a power source is not
provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop
flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data
that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can
continue to use your notebook while an adapter is
charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a Battery Level indicator
to display the operating level available in that battery.
(See figure 2-8 on page 11) If this display is red and
blinking, it means the battery is damaged and must be
replaced so it does not damage other parts of your Life-
Book notebook.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have
a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-
swapping and hot-swapping:
Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these
easy steps:
(Figure 4-1)
1. Have a charged battery ready to install.
2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect the AC
adapter.
3. Unlock the battery by pushing the two release
latches toward the battery pack (Figure 4-1) .
4. While pressing the release latches, lift the battery out
of the bay.
5. Insert a new battery into the bay, and press it down
so that the latches click into place.
6. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.
Hot-swapping Batteries
To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these
easy steps:
(Figure 4-1)
1. Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it
to a power outlet.
Figure 4-1. Removing a Battery
2. Follow steps 3 through 5 in “Cold Swapping
Batteries”.
Be sure to plug in an AC Adapter prior to
removing the battery.
There is no bridge
battery present to support the system
while the battery is being replaced. If you
do not use an AC Adapter you will lose
any unsaved files.
If the Lithium ion battery connector is not
fully seated, you may not be able to use
your notebook or charge your battery.
