Power and Power-Up Modes
The computer’s power resources include the AC adaptor and internal batteries. This

Power conditions
The computer’s operating capability and battery charge status are affected by the
power conditions: whether an AC adaptor is connected, whether a battery is
installed and what the charge level is for the battery.
