Low-Battery Warning
NOTICE: To avoid losing or corrupting data, save your work immediately after a
low-battery warning. Then connect the computer to an electrical outlet. If the
battery runs completely out of power, hibernate mode begins automatically.
A pop-up window warns you when the battery charge is approximately 90 percent
depleted. If two batteries are installed, the low-battery warning means that
the combined charge of both batteries is approximately 90 percent depleted.
The computer enters hibernate mode when the battery charge is at a critically
low level.
You can change the settings for the battery alarms in QuickSet or the
Power Options Properties window. See "Configuring Power Management
Settings" in your User’s Guide for information about accessing QuickSet or
the Power Options Properties window.
Conserving Battery Power
Perform the following actions to conserve battery power:
• Connect the computer to an electrical outlet when possible.
• Place the computer in standby mode or hibernate mode when you leave
the computer unattended for long periods of time (see "Power
Management Modes" in your
User’s Guide
).
• Use the Power Management Wizard or the
Power Options Properties
window to select options to optimize your computer’s power usage. These
options can also be set to change when you press the power button, close
the display, or press <Fn><Esc>.
NOTE: See "Configuring Power Management Settings" in your User’s Guide for
information on conserving battery power.
