What to do when the battery runs low
When the battery runs low you can:
Plug the computer into an external power source and
recharge the battery.
Put the computer in Hibernation mode and replace the
battery with a charged spare.
Save your work and turn off the computer.
If you don’t manage to do any of these things before the
battery completely runs out of power, the computer
automatically enters Standby mode and turns itself off.
Standby mode keeps track of where you were so, when you
turn on the power again, you can continue where you left
off.
The computer stores the information on what you were
doing until the battery runs out of power. If you have
Hibernation mode enabled (the default), the computer
copies the details of your open programs and files to the
hard disk before shutting down.
Setting alarms
Your computer can be configured to warn you when the
battery is running low.
You can set multiple alarms. Each alarm can be set to alert
you when a specified percentage of remaining battery
power has been reached. You can set how the alarm action
occurs—sound an alarm, display a message, both, or none.
You can also set the computer to enter Standby mode or
Hibernation mode, or to Shutdown when the alarm goes off.
