SECTION 1
Low Battery Status Indication
This section explains the status indications when the battery is running low and the measures
to be taken.
Low battery indication
The remaining battery power indicator blinks in the status indicator LCD ( ).
Critical Point
Alarm rings when low battery status begins for Windows 95. However, this alarm may not be
audible if sound volume level is set low.
Alarm sound is not audible if speaker is turned off. Speaker is turned On/Off by pushing the
[F3] key while pressing down the [Fn] key. A sound like whistle means that the speaker is
turned on and silence means that it is turned off.
Counter measure against Low Battery Status
1 Press the SUS/RES Button.
When you confirm the Low Battery condition, press the SUS/RES Button as soon as possible
to set the system in Suspend Mode (inoperable for a period of time). Even if you set your PC
in Suspend Mode during operation, neither program nor data will be lost.
Critical Point
If you use Windows 2000, never select [Power Off] setting for [When the PC Power Switch
Button is pressed] in [Details] tab of the [Power Option Property]. If the [Power Off] is selected,
the power to the PC turns off when you press the SUS/RES Button and then the unsaved data
you entered will be lost.
If you use Windows 98, never select [Shutdown] setting for [When the PC Power Switch
Button is pressed] in [Details] tab of the [Power Management Property]. If the [Shutdown] is
selected, the power to the PC turns off when you press the SUS/RES Button and then the
unsaved data you entered will be lost.
2 Connect the AC adapter.
Connecting the AC adapter starts charging the battery.
Critical Point
Reading and writing process on hard disk consumes a large amount of power. If you save
data on hard disk in low battery condition, be sure to connect the AC adapter.
If the PC is left in low battery condition, it automatically suspends its operation. If the system
is reading/writing on hard disk or other data storage media, however, it will wait until the
process is completed before suspending the operation.
If you continue to operate the PC in low battery condition, the data you are entering or in
saving process may be lost in the worst scenario. Connect the AC adapter immediately or, if
you do not have the AC adapter, resume the system first by pressing SUS/RES Button and
then shut down the power to the PC.
