When the battery power level falls to 1%, a warning message appears. Save your data 

file. The data is saved to a backup file named PWRFAILDATA.TXT.

Fig. 31—When the battery level falls to 1%, you are asked to save your data file.

When the battery level falls to 0%, the system begins a 60 second countdown before 

powering off.

 

 

Fig. 32—When the battery power falls to 0%, a warning displays briefly.

Fig. 33—The 60 second countdown was initiated when the battery power fell to 0%.

Five seconds before shutdown, a final warning appears.

 

Fig. 34—(Left) When the countdown reaches 5 seconds, the final warning appears.

Fig. 35—(Right) Immediately before the system powers off, the shutdown message displays.
