Page: 39 / 219

Indicator Lights
Above the keyboard are eight indicator lights that show the status of certain operating
features.
Power
The Power indicator glows green when you turn on the Power switch (located above the
right side of the keyboard). If the light does not come on, the AC Adapter may not be
connected, or the battery may be discharged.
The Power indicator glows orange when the computer is set to the Standby mode and
alternately glows orange and green when the computer enters the Auto Suspend mode.
Low Batt (Battery)
If the internal battery pack is installed in the TravelMate 3000 WinSX, the Low Batt
light indicates the following:
q
The Low Batt indicator remains off if the battery has more than I to 10
minutes charge remaining.
q
The Low Batt indicator blinks red and the alarm sounds (if enabled
using the Setup Program) when the battery has approximately 1 to 10
minutes charge remaining. Both the indicator and the alarm remain on
until the computer shuts itself off. You should update work in progress
as soon as possible.
The time variations in the Low Batt indicator functions are affected by the battery charge
remaining when you turn on power and may also vary slightly among individual
computers. See 'Conditioning the Battery Pack" in Chapter 3 for more details on the
Power and Low Batt indicators.
