Using the Battery 39
The above features are valid with Windows 95 or any other APM compliant
operating systems. In the case of a Windows 98/ Me or any other ACPI compliant
operating system which is running on APM interface, you should adjust the battery
alarm features by using the operating systems power management program
(Control Panel > Power management in Windows 98/ Me).
In the APM mode you should select the Suspend mode of the low battery situations
(Save to RAM/Save-to-Disk) in BIOS setup, See “Power Menu” on page 70. Also
see “Using Power Management Options” on page 77
If you cannot run your computer from the battery and the battery will not charge
when you attach the power cord, the problem may be that:
•
The battery temperature is below 41° F (5° C) or over 95° F (35° C). If you
think the battery temperature is too hot or too cold, turn off the computer,
remove the battery, and let the battery reach room temperature. Then try
charging the battery again.
•
The battery is defective. Replace the battery with a new battery.
