The Low Battery Alarm warning
This alarm gives you early warning that your battery power is run-
ning out. Unless you've told the system to display this message at a
really low power level or your work involves lengthy processing,
you can continue with what you are doing.
To close the Low Battery Alarm dialog box, click OK.
Going. . . the Critical Battery Alarm
When you're getting fairly low on battery power, the system beeps
once and displays the Critical Battery Alarm warning. Normally,
this means you have less than 10% battery capacity remaining. To
change the level of charge that sets off this warning, see "Setting
the Alarms" on page 123.
The Critical Battery Alarm warning
When this alarm goes off, start planning your remaining battery
time carefully. No frantic actions are required yet, but it's a good
idea to begin to think about what you absolutely must do before
you find a place to plug in the AC adapter or turn the computer off.
To close the Critical Battery Alarm dialog box, click OK. To
change the level of charge that sets off this warning, see "Setting
the Alarms" on page 123.
