Managing Low-Battery Conditions
Identifying Low-Battery Conditions
■ When a battery pack that is the only source of power available
to the computer reaches a low-battery condition
■ The system beeps 5 times.
■ The battery light blinks.
■ If the low-battery condition is not resolved, the computer will
enter a critical low-battery condition. In a critical low-battery
condition,
■ If Hibernation is enabled and the computer is on or in
Suspend (Standby)—The computer beeps twice, then
initiates Hibernation. (Hibernation is enabled by default.)
■ If Hibernation is disabled and the computer is on or in
Suspend (Standby)—The computer beeps twice, and the
power/suspend light blinks. The computer remains
briefly in Suspend (Standby), then shuts down and your
unsaved work is lost.
