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 shut down automatically.
