Low Battery State :
Whenthebatterylevelislow,anoticationmessageappears.Ifyoudonotrespondtothelowbattery
message,thebatterycontinuestodischargeuntilitistoolowtooperate.Whenthishappens,your
NotebookgoesintoSuspendmode.ThereisnoguaranteeyourdatawillbesavedoncetheNotebook
reachesthispoint.
CAUTION:ToprotectyourNotebookfromdamage, useonlythepoweradapterthatcame
