Battery Low Signals and Actions
When the battery is low, Windows gives warning messages and the Battery
Charge Indicator (
) blinks yellow to alert you.
Immediately save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating
time depends on how you are using the computer. If you are using the
audio subsystem, PC card, hard or USB flash disk, the battery might run out
of charge very quickly.
Always respond to Battery Low by connecting the AC adapter, turning off
the computer, or placing your computer in Hibernation mode. If you do
not take any action, the computer will automatically hibernate and turn
off.
NOTE: You can set up the threshold of Battery Low and actions for Windows to
take with Windows Power Options. (For more information, see Windows’ Help.)
