Identifying and Resolving
a Low-Battery Condition
When a battery pack powering the computer reaches a low-battery
condition, the battery light begins blinking and the system begins
beeping three times about every minute.
NOTE:
If you have disabled the low-battery warning beeps, the
blinking battery light may be the only indication of a low-battery
condition.
To resolve a low-battery condition, save your work, then take one
of the following steps:
■
Initiate Suspend and immediately replace the discharged
battery pack with a fully charged battery pack.
■
Connect to an external power source to charge the battery pack
in the computer.
■
Initiate Hibernation or shut down the computer until an
external power source or a charged battery pack is available.
If you do not resolve the low-battery condition and the computer
reaches a
critical
low-battery condition, the computer beeps twice,
saves data to a Hibernation file, and shuts down.
If you have turned off Hibernation,
the computer beeps twice,
initiates Suspend, and the power/suspend light begins blinking
along with the battery light. If you do not resolve the
critical
low-
battery condition, unsaved work is lost when the computer shuts
down.
