Up to two Type I or Type II PCMCIA options may be installed in the
compartment on the right side of the notebook. One Type III Option may
be installed in the lower slot.

To insert a PCMCIA card, align the card with the socket and slide the
card into the socket until it locks into place. To install a Type III option,
you must remove the Floppy Drive.

Responding to Low Battery Conditions
The computer generally will notify you when you are reaching a low battery
condition by performing the following actions:
•
One beep every 10 seconds (unless battery warning is disabled)

The battery low warning is automatically disabled when the AC Adapter
is installed on the notebook regardless of the charge condition of the
battery pack.
•
If the AC adapter is not plugged in within three minutes of a detected
battery low condition, the notebook enters Standby mode.
•
The Notebook returns to the normal operating mode when the power
switch is activated. Unit then recovers RAM information from the hard
drive and restores unit to previous "On" condition.
