3.2.5 Battery Low Signals and Actions
Battery Low occurs when the battery has approximately 10 % (Windows default setting)
of its charge remaining. The tablet PC’s Battery Charge Indicator ( ) blinks red to
alert you take actions.
NOTICE:
1. You can set up the Battey Low threshold and signals under Windows. Immediately
save your data upon Battery Low. The remaining operating time depends on how you
are using the tablet PC. If you are using the audio subsystem, PC card, hard or USB
flash disk, the battery might run out of charge very quickly.
2. Always respond to Battery Low by placing your tablet PC on the Standby or
Hibernation mode, turning off the tablet PC, or connecting the AC adapter.
CAUTION:
1. If you do not take any action, the tablet PC will automatically hibernate and turn off.
2. If you are using a PC card, do not access the card during battery low periods. The
access may takes longer time than battery to run out of charge, thus making your
access to the card fail.
3. If you fail to save your data when the battery completely runs out of charge, then you
will lose your data.
