Low Battery Alarms
How your TiTAN T8 responds to a low battery condition is set under
Start / Settings / Control Panel / Power Options / Alarms.
Two different power alarms can be enabled or disabled: the Low
Battery Alarm, and the Critical Battery Alarm.
Warning: When battery power is low, the battery
indicator will flash red, and the alarm will
display a warning on your screen. Take immediate
action, such as saving files or connecting to the AC adapter, or data may be lost.
Battery Charging
When you use the AC adapter to connect your TiTAN T8 to a power outlet, the internal battery will
automatically begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the Indicator panel
will be active after 6~12 seconds. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge icon will turn off.
If your TiTAN T8 is turned off, a fully discharged battery will take about 3 hours to recharge. If your TiTAN T8 is
turned on and is not in suspend mode, it will take about 4~5 hours to recharge the battery.
Refer to the following table:

Note: A fully charged Li-Ion battery can run the TiTAN T8 for approximately 6.0 hours.

notice that it begins to store significantly less charge.

1. Turn off the TiTAN T8.
2. To replace the Battery remove the screw and the Battery Bay Cover.

compartment.
Power-Saving Tips
The following are some Power-Saving Tips suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time.
Do not disable Power Management.
Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.
USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB mouse, you can save power by
disconnecting the mouse and using the optional touch screen pen.
If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.
If you work with an application that uses a PC card, exit the application when you finish using it.
If you have a PC card installed, remove it when not in use. Some PC cards drain power even while they are
inactive.
Deactivate the Wireless LAN function if you are not using it (see Chapter 2).
Deactivate the Bluetooth wireless feature if you are not using it (see Chapter 2)
Turn off the TiTAN T8 PC when you are not using it.
