NOTE

If you are using the computer in a cold temperature environment and the battery level is too low

for the heater to operate, you will see the error message "Battery too low to warm the hard drive.

Shutting down..." and the computer will shut down. Apply external power and reboot.

LCD Heater

The GoBook II also has an optional CCFL heater to improve display brightness in a cold environment.

The heater consists of a film and heater strip that is bonded over the CCFL area of the display. It is

designed to turn on when the temperature is cold enough to impact display brightness.
