Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the
presence and condition of the battery. See "Status
Indicator Panel" on page 15. Use a Power adapter
until the battery is charged.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. See
"Power Sources" on page 33.
Try a different Power adapter or install a charged
optional second battery.

mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push the
Suspend/Resume button. Check your power
management settings, or close your applications
and go to the Power Savings menu of the setup
utility to adjust the timeout values to better suit
your operation needs.
Install a power adapter and then push the Suspend/
Resume button. See "Power Sources" on page 33.
