Identifying Low-Battery Conditions
■ When a battery pack that is the only source of power available
to the computer reaches a low-battery condition
■ The system beeps five times.
■ The battery light

blinks.
■ If the low-battery condition is not resolved, the computer will
enter a critical low-battery condition. In a critical low-battery
condition,
■ If Hibernation is enabled and the computer is on or in
Suspend (Standby)—The computer beeps twice, then
initiates Hibernation. Hibernation is enabled by default.
■ If Hibernation is disabled and the computer is on or in
Suspend (Standby)—The computer beeps twice, and the
power/suspend light

blinks. The computer remains briefly
in Suspend (Standby), then shuts down and your unsaved
work is lost.
