Resolving Low-Battery Conditions
Ä
CAUTION:
To prevent loss of data when restoring from hibernation: If
the notebook has reached a critical low-battery condition and has
begun to initiate hibernation, do not restore power until hibernation is
complete. When hibernation is complete, the battery light and the
power/standby lights are turned off.
When External Power Is Available
To resolve a low-battery condition when external power is
available, connect the notebook to the external power source. The
external power source could be either of the following items:
■
AC adapter
■
Optional docking device
When a Charged Battery Pack Is Available
To resolve a low-battery condition when a charged battery pack is
available, shut down the notebook or initiate hibernation. Insert a
charged battery pack, and then turn on the notebook.
When No Power Source is Available
To resolve a low-battery condition when no power source is
available,
save your work. Then initiate hibernation or shut down
the notebook.
When the Notebook Cannot Restore from
Hibernation
If hibernation was initiated at a time when power was so low that
the notebook was unable to complete the hibernation process,
prompts to delete restoration data may be displayed during the
restoration process.
Deleting the restoration data confirms the loss of the data and
allows the notebook to be started.
