Low Battery Warning
It is recommended that the Main Battery Pack be removed and replaced when electrical power
depletes. When the Low Battery Warning sounds (alternating one second beeps) do an orderly
shut down of the unit, minimizing the operation of any installed devices and insuring any
information is saved that should be.
Note: Once you receive the Low Battery Warning, you have approximately 5 minutes to
perform an orderly shutdown and replace the main battery pack before the unit powers
off. The Low Battery Warning will transition to Critical Suspend before the computer
powers off.

Handling Batteries Safely
•
Never dispose of a battery in a fire. This may cause an explosion.
•
Do not replace individual cells in a battery.
•
Be careful when handling batteries. If a battery is broken or shows signs of leakage do
not attempt to charge it. Dispose of it using proper procedures.
Caution Batteries are capable of delivering high currents when accidentally shorted. Accidental
shorting can occur when contact is made with jewelry, metal surfaces, conductive
tools, etc., making the objects very hot. Never place a battery in a pocket or case with
keys, coins, or other metal objects.
Battery Maintenance Publication
The LXE publication “Getting the Most from Your Batteries” is available on the LXE Manuals
CD and is a single-source guide to battery management. The document contains information about
