Power
When the computer is not plugged into an AC outlet, the battery pack is the
primary power source. However, your computer has a number of other power
resources, including intelligent power supply, Real Time Clock battery. These
resources are interrelated and any one could affect apparent power problems. This
section provides check lists for AC power and the battery. If you cannot resolve a
problem after following them, the cause could lie with another power resource. In
such a case, contact your dealer.
