TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at
low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if
you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based
on your current rate of power use and other factors such as the
age of the battery.
What to do when the battery runs low
When the battery runs low you can
:
❖
Plug the computer into an external power source and
recharge the battery.
❖
Put the computer in Hibernate mode and replace the
battery with a charged spare.
❖
Save your work and turn off the computer.
If you do not manage to do any of these things before the
battery completely runs out of power, the computer
automatically enters Hibernate mode and turns itself off.
