Low Battery Warnings
When the battery becomes low, the mobile computer beeps and the
battery indicator light blinks. If you are running Windows, a warning
message also appears on the screen periodically. Unless you connect
external power or replace the battery within a reasonable time, the
system turns off the computer automatically. If the battery voltage
becomes very low, the computer shuts off and you cannot turn it back
on until you correct the low battery condition.
Power-saving Features
Suspend
Suspend mode turns off the system if there is no activity for a period of
time. The computer also enters suspend mode if the battery capacity
becomes critically low and external power is not connected or the
battery is not replaced.
By default, the computer enters suspend mode after two minutes of
inactivity. This “time-out” setting can be changed in the System
Configuration Utility (see Section 5, “Customizing Settings”). You can
place the computer in suspend mode manually by pressing
FN+OFF
.
Files and data are retained and you can resume where you left off by
pressing
FN+ON
.
Hard Disk Standby
To conserve power, the hard disk switches to standby mode after a
period of inactivity and resumes when it detects activity.
Note Some systems do not automatically enter suspend mode
when they are connected to external power. Systems that can
suspend on external power have a user-defined option in the System
Configuration Utility (SCU) that enables or disables this feature. See
Section 5 for information about accessing the SCU.
