Battery Alarm - Intel 3100C Service Manual

Battery alarm

The battery alarm is activated by a program and will sound when the battery power is low.
Note: If a fully discharged battery has been charged for less than 3 minutes, this program will
not be activated.
This happens when these 3 steps occur:
1. The computer is being used and the low battery alarm sounds.
2. The AC adapter is connected to charge the battery while the computer continues to be
used.
3. The adapter is unplugged within the first 3 minutes of charging.
After this sequence of steps, the computer will eventually shutdown without the low battery
alarm sounding and you will lose any work you have entered and not saved.
Therefore you should make sure that the AC adapter is firmly plugged into the computer when
charging the battery.
