NOTE

z

Once the battery is fully charged, the computer performs recharging only when the battery level becomes less than 
approximately 95%, so overcharging is avoided.

The remaining battery is approximately 9% or less.

Blinking red

The battery pack or the charging circuit is not operating properly.

Blinking orange

The battery cannot be charged temporarily due to the following reasons:

• Its internal temperature is out of the acceptable range.
• The power supply is not enough because software applications or peripheral 

devices are consuming a large amount of power.

Blinking green and 
orange alternately

The temperature is low and the computer is warming up to prevent the hard disk drive 
from malfunctioning. The computer will start automatically after warming-up.
