Low-Battery Indications
The BATTERY indicator and the computer's
beeper tell you the condition of the battery in the
following four ways:
Indicator does not light during normal status.
Indicator lights green when battery is fully
charged.
Indicator lights orange during charging.
Indicator lights red and and a tone sounds once
a minute when battery power drops below the
power level needed for normal operation. When
this happens, save all important information and
turn off the computer or connect the AC
adapter.
Note: The indicator might light red during disk op-
erations. If the indicator turns off when the disk
drive turns off, the battery still has plenty of power.
Caution: When the BATTERY indicator lights red
and the tones begin sounding, you have five min-
utes to save your data to the hard disk or diskette.
Then, connect the AC adapter or another battery if
you want to continue using the 1500 HD. Your
computer loses all information not saved onto a
disk when the power turns off. The adapter
charges the battery in approximately
8
hours when
you are using the computer, or in 4 hours if the
computer is notbeing used.
