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

blinks.
â– If the low-battery condition is not resolved, the computer will
enter a critical low-battery condition. In a critical low-battery
condition,
â– 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.
â– 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.
