Low Battery State
When the battery is running low, your note-
book beeps about every 15 seconds and the
Battery Level indicator(s) will flash. If you
do not respond to the low battery alarm, the
batteries will continue to discharge until they
are too low to operate. When this happens
there will be a multiple beep alarm,the Battery
Level indicator will show dead battery, and
your notebook will go into Susp end mode to
try and protect your data as long as possible.
Your power management settings do not affect
whether the dead battery alarm level will
send your notebook into Suspend mode.
