Battery Power
When the Remaining Battery Charge Becomes Low
Save your data and power off your computer
Following that:
Plug in the AC adaptor, and fully charge your battery.
Use a spare battery if you have one.
If you have neither the AC adaptor nor an extra battery, power the computer off.
Power settings, e.g., warning for a low battery level, can be made in
[Control Panel] - [Power Management]*
NOTE
Alarm Settings (in [Control Panel] - [Power Management]* - [Alarms])
Set the value for the [Critical battery alarm] to 5% or more. This is neces-
sary for the standby or hibernation function to be completed (assuring data
is saved) when the battery level is low.
Windows 98 Do not add a check mark for [Display message] for [Notifica-
tion] in [Alarms] - [Alarm Action]. This may prevent the com-
puter from resuming.
When making a setting for [When the
alarm goes off, the computer will:] in
[Alarms]-[Alarm Action], add a check
mark for [Force standby or shutdown
even if a program stops responding].
If the computer shuts down or enters
the standby or hibernation mode by
the Alarm settings function, start up
the computer or resume operations
after connecting the AC adaptor. If the
computer starts up or resumes while
the AC adaptor is not connected, Win-
dows may not operate properly or
alarm operations may stop working.

About High Temperature Mode
This computer has a high temperature mode function that prevents the degradation of
the battery in high temperature environments.
We recommend setting the high temperature mode function when installing the com-
puter in a car, etc. To do this, set [Environment] in the [Main] menu of the Setup Utility to
[High temperature]. Note that a 100% remaining battery reading in the [High Tempera-
ture] mode is about an 80% reading in the [Normal Temperature] mode.
NOTE
When using the wireless display in a high-temperature environment, be sure to set
the wireless display in the [High temperature] mode.
In this case, be sure to set [High Temperature] in the Setup Utility (computer side
setting) too. If this setting is not made, the following message will be displayed:
"Thermal environment option has been changed. - Need to restart the system now."
Press [OK] and restart the computer.
(This is the Windows 98 screen. The Win-
dows 2000 screen slightly differs.)
