Using a Battery
Low-Battery Warning
NOTICE:
To avoid losing or corrupting data, save your work immediately after a
low-battery warning, then connect the computer to an electrical outlet. If the
battery runs completely out of power, hibernate mode begins automatically.
A pop-up window warns you when the battery charge is approximately
90 percent depleted. The computer enters hibernate mode when the battery
charge is at a critically low level.
You can change the settings for the battery alarms in Dell QuickSet or the
Power Options
window. See "Configuring Power Management Settings" on
page 48 for information about accessing QuickSet or the
Power Options
Properties
window.
