the notebook, reaches a low-battery condition, a warning message
appears on the screen.
✎
To set audible low-battery alerts and other low-battery
preferences, access the Power Options window and select the
Alarms tab.

If a low-battery condition is not resolved, the notebook enters a
critical low-battery condition, and the following can occur:

If Hibernation is enabled, and the notebook is on or in
Standby, a warning message appears on the screen, the
notebook initiates Hibernation, and shuts down. Your
unsaved work is protected.

CAUTION: To protect your work in case of a low-battery condition,
make sure that Hibernation remains enabled.

If Hibernation is disabled and the notebook is on or in
Standby, a warning message appears, then the notebook shuts
down, and your unsaved work is lost.
