Critical Point
•
If you continue to operate the PC when the battery is low, the data you are entering or in the
process of saving may, be lost. Connect the AC adapter immediately or, if you do not have one,
quit the application you are running after saving the working data and then shut down the power
to the PC.
•
Reading and writing processes on the hard disk consumes a large amount of power. If you save
data on the hard disk when the battery is low, always connect the AC adapter.
•
If the PC is left in a low battery condition, it automatically goes into the standby mode. If the
system is reading/writing on the hard disk or other data storage media, however, it will wait until
the process is completed before entering the standby mode.
IMPORTANT
•
This PC unit is preset to enter the standby mode automatically when the remaining battery level
becomes 3%. Do not change the settings in the following items under [Critical Battery Alarm] in
[Alarm] tab of the [Power Management Property] dialog box.
