Low Battery Indication
When the battery power becomes significantly low (under 10%), the battery status
indicator ( ) blinks red, the warning beep sounds. Save your data and turn off the
computer, or connect the computer to AC power immediately. Otherwise, the
computer will be shut down and the data may be lost. To stop the warning beep
sound, press Fn + F10 .
In Windows XP, the alarm will tell you when the battery drops to the specified
level by sounding an alarm or displaying a message, and let your computer go on
System standby/hibernate or be shut down automatically.
To set Windows battery alarm:
1. In the Power Options dialog box, select Alarms tab.
2. Set the battery level at which the alarms are activated. We recommend you set
Critical battery alarm to more than 5 %.
3. Set the Alarm Action desired.
4. Click OK twice.
5. Close the Control Panel window.
Conditioning the Battery Pack
You need to condition the battery pack when the actual remaining power in your
battery is less than what Windows Power Meter indicates, or you buy a new battery
pack.
1. Make sure the computer is turned off. Connect the computer to AC power
and wait until the battery is fully charged. The battery status indicator turns
orange first; then, turns to green when the battery pack is fully charged.
