Low Battery State
This item explains the display when this computer’s battery is low and what to do.
1
The low battery is announced in the following way.
The warning beeps and the battery mark on the status indicator LCD flashes.
Critical Point
If the audio volume is set too low, you may not be able to hear the warning beep. When the
speaker is set to OFF using [Fn] + [F3] keys, the warning beep does not sound.
2
Press the SUS/RES button.
When the battery goes low, quickly press the SUS/RES button to suspend operation. Since
the suspend/resume function works even if the computer is suspended during operation, the
program and data are not lost.
Critical Point
If you want to resume operation immediately, connect the AC adaptor, then press the SUS/
RES button again.
3
Charge the battery.
Connect the AC battery to charge the battery.
Critical Points
Reading from and writing to the hard disk uses large amounts of power. When saving data to
the hard disk with the battery low, connect the AC adaptor.
If you leave this computer running with the battery low, it is suspended automatically. However,
if data is being read from or written to the hard disk or other media, the suspending waits until
that processing is complete.
If you continue using the computer with the battery low, in the worst case, the data being
created or saved may be lost. Quickly connect the AC adaptor.
