Double click the Battery icon to display the following screen:
This screen indicates how much battery charge remains. If the battery charge
drops below a certain voltage level, a beeping sound will prompt you to save your
work and turn off the computer, or connect the AC adapter.
Battery Low Warning
When the pack initially reaches the Battery Low state approximately 10 ~ 15
minutes of the usable battery life is left. You will hear an audible beep signal every
1.5 seconds alerting you to the Battery Low status. When the battery power
reaches the Battery Low Low status the beeping sound will accelerate. Your
battery now has one to two minutes of battery charge remaining. You must save
your data or connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you may lose your data.
When there is only one minute of battery charge remaining, the TREK 2 will
suspend to the HDD (if a PHDISK HDD partition has been set) and power off. If a
PHDISK HDD partition has not been set the TREK 2 will suspend to DRAM. You
should connect AC power and resume to save your work.
Windows 95/98 has a smart battery function for changing the settings for the
battery warning signals. Please consult the Windows 95/98 help for details. To
extend battery power, we recommend that you make full use of the TREK 2’s
built-in power saving features.
Small Battery for Real Time Clock
There is a small built-in battery pack that supplies power to the system in order to
maintain certain system information while the power is off. If the TREK 2 is left
without a power source for too long, this battery will be exhausted and system
information will be lost. Please avoid this condition by ensuring that the TREK 2
never remains without a power source for more than ten days.
