Failure to shut down the computer properly may result in loss of data or
hardware damages.
Automatic shut down is activated at battery exhaust. Be sure to finish your work
and save all your data when the battery low warning appears.
RTC
Battery backed up RTC (Real Time Clock/Calendar) is built in an on-board
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor). The RTC keeps track of
the time and date while the computer is off. The CMOS also stores system setup

RTC battery is also recharged when AC adapter is attached.
Tips:
When computer is not used for longer period, recharge it at least once
per month to ensure RTC operation.
