Replacing the Battery Pack
When your notebook estimates that the battery only has enough charge to
continue for a few minutes, it will alert you with a battery low warning beep. If
you are consuming a lot of power by using the audio system, the ExpressCard
slots, the hard disk drives, and optical disk drive, your notebook might run out
of charge much sooner than you expect. You should always respond to the
battery low indication by connecting to AC power or turning off your
notebook, or suspending your notebook to disk. If you do not do so, the
notebook will automatically suspend to disk and turn off. The contents of the
memory will store in the hard disk drive. You will be unable to restart the
notebook until you have connected to the AC adapter or installed a charged
battery. To replace the battery pack, refer to the previous sections on
"Installing the Battery Pack" and "Removing the Battery Pack."

For Window XP, the suspend mode (Hibernate or Standby) can be chosen
at Power Options of Windows's Control Panel)

Be sure to save your data before replacing the battery pack or connecting
the AC adapter. Failure to do so can result in data loss.
