Troubleshooting
The batteries
seem to discharge
too quickly.
You are running an
application that uses a
great deal of power
due to frequent hard
drive or DVD/CD-
ROM access, or use of
a modem or LAN PC
card.
Use both the primary battery and an
optional second battery and/or use a power
adapter for this application when at all
possible.
The power savings
features may be
disabled.
Check the power management and/or setup
utility settings in the Power Savings menu
and adjust according to your operating
needs.
The brightness is
turned all the way up.
Turn down the brightness adjustment. The
higher the brightness the more power your
display uses.
The batteries are very
old.
Replace the batteries.
The batteries have
been exposed to high
temperatures.
Replace the batteries.
The batteries are too
hot or too cold.
Restore the notebook to normal operating
temperature. The Status Indicator panel
Charging icon will flash when the battery is
out of operating range.
