Monitoring main battery power
The computer’s main battery light gives you an indication of
the main battery’s current charge:
❖
Glows amber while the main battery is being charged
(AC adapter connected).
❖
Glows blue when the main battery is fully charged.
❖
Is unlit when the battery has discharged, the battery is not
charging, or the AC adapter is not plugged into the
computer or AC outlet.
Battery life and charge time may vary, depending upon power
management settings, applications and features used.
❖
Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low and it
is time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC
adapter.
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging,
either the battery pack is malfunctioning, or it is not
receiving correct input from the AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC power cord/cable and remove the
battery pack. See
“Changing the main battery” on
for information on replacing the main battery.
HINT: Be careful not to confuse the battery light (
), and the
on/off light (
).
When the on/off light flashes amber, it indicates that the
system is suspended (using the Windows
®
operating system
Standby command).
