Using the battery
Battery is an expendable supply, so when you use it for a long time, the capacity/bat-
tery life is shortened. If the battery life time is reduced to under half of the initial time,
we recommend that you purchase a new battery to use.
Battery Warning
You will hear an alarm when the remaining battery charge is under 10%. Connect
the power cable or turn off the computer and install a fully charged battery.
When the remaining battery charge is under 3%, the computer automatically
saves current work and turns off. This may be different according to the settings in
Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Alarms tab.
