4-6 Using Battery Packs
COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED

Disconnect external equipment that does not have its own
power source. (External equipment connected to the computer
drains the battery pack.)
Exit modem programs when you are not using them.
Remove a PC Card when you are not using it.
When storing the computer for more than two weeks, remove
battery packs and store them separately to reduce the
discharge rate and increase battery life.
Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place when it is not in
use. High temperatures cause a battery pack to lose its charge
more quickly and reduce battery pack life. For more
information on storing battery packs, see "Storing a Battery
Pack" in this chapter.
Format diskettes while using external power when possible.
(Formatting diskettes increases the drain on a battery pack.)
Recycling Used Battery Packs
To find out if the battery pack recycling program is available in
your area, check the “Worldwide Telephone Numbers” in
Appendix A. If a number for recycling is not listed for your area,
contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service
provider.
System Beeps
Beeps with a Blinking Battery Charge Light
When the computer beeps while the battery charge light is
blinking, the computer has entered a low battery condition.
CAUTION: When you are alerted of a low battery condition, very
little battery charge remains. Save your information and take
immediate action to resolve the low battery condition.
See “Turning Beeps On or Off” in this chapter to avoid being
alerted with system beeps.
