What to do when the battery runs low

When the battery runs low you can:
❖
Plug the computer into an external power source and recharge
the battery
❖
Place the computer into Hibernation mode and replace the
battery with a charged spare (not included with your computer)
❖
Save your work and turn off the computer
If you do not manage to do any of these things before the battery
completely runs out of power, the computer automatically enters
Hibernation mode and turns itself off. Hibernation mode keeps
track of where you were, so that when you turn on the power again,
you can continue where you left off.
If you have Hibernation mode enabled (the default), the computer
copies the details of your open programs and files to the internal
storage drive before shutting

Setting battery notifications

You can set two notifications. Each notification can be set to alert
you when a specified percentage of remaining battery power has
been reached. You can also set the computer to enter Sleep mode or
Hibernation mode or to completely power down when the
notification goes off.

1 Click the Start button and, in the Search field, type Power
Options. In the list that appears above, click on your selection.
The Power Options window appears.
