Low Battery Indication
When the battery power becomes significantly low, the battery charge indicator
( ) blinks red and the warning beep sounds. To stop the beep, press Fn + F10 .
When the low battery power is indicated, connect the notebook to a wall outlet
quickly. If not, the notebook will automatically suspend to disk and will store the
contents of the memory in the suspend-to-disk partition. When your notebook
suspends, do not turn on the notebook before connecting to a wall outlet or
installing a fully charged battery.
The remaining operating time depends on the power you are consuming: if you are
using the audio system, PC card slot or hard and floppy disk drives, your notebook
might run out of power quicker.
See also the section about the power management.
Maintaining the Battery Pack
To keep the battery life long:
•
Sometimes initialize the battery pack especially when the difference between
battery power remaining and the actual operating time is too large.
•
Turn off your notebook when not using.
Disposing of Battery Packs
The capacity of a battery pack gradually decreases when used repeatedly though the
deterioration rate depends on the operating temperature and environment. After the
battery pack has deteriorated, buy the same type battery pack as a replacement.
Note that your local area may have rules of battery disposal.
Backup batteries
In addition to the main battery, your notebook contains a backup battery to save
information in the Setup Utility (See Chapter 8). If your notebook begins to lose its
time and date setting, bring it to a local dealer for replacement of this backup
battery.
