Monitoring of power condition

As shown in the below table, the DC IN/Battery and Power indicators on
the system indicator alert you to the computer's operating capability and
battery charge status.
DC IN/Battery indicator
Check the DC IN/Battery indicator to determine the status of the battery
pack and the power status with the AC adaptor connected. The following
indicator conditions should be noted:
Green
Amber
Flashing amber
No light
If the battery pack becomes too hot while it is being charged, the charge
will stop and the DC IN/Battery indicator will go out. When the battery
pack's temperature falls to a normal range, charging will resume - this
process will occur regardless of whether the computer's power is on or off.
