Possible Solutions
Verify that the battery is properly connected by
re-installing them.
Verify the battery condition using the Status Indi-
cator panel and replace or remove any battery that is
shorted. See "Status Indicators" on page 14.
Use a power adapter for this application when at all
possible.
Check the power management and/or setup utility
settings in the Power Savings menu and adjust
according to your operating needs.
Turn down the brightness adjustment. The higher
the brightness the more power your display uses.
Replace the battery.
Replace the battery.
Restore the notebook to normal operating tempera-
ture. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator
panel will flash when the battery is outside its
operating range.
Replace with another AC Adapter to see if the
problem persists. Replace any defective AC

seconds if your application is preventing the CPU
from checking for button pushes.
Close all applications and try the button again.
