Identifying Low-Battery Conditions
This section explains how to identify low and critical low-battery
conditions.
Low-Battery Condition
When a battery pack that is the only power source for the tablet
PC reaches a low-battery condition, the battery light blinks.
Critical Low-Battery Condition
If a low-battery condition is not resolved, the tablet PC enters
a critical low-battery condition.
In a critical low-battery condition:
■ If Hibernation is enabled and the tablet PC is on or in
Standby, the tablet PC initiates Hibernation.
■ If Hibernation is disabled and the tablet PC is on or in
Standby, the tablet PC remains briefly in Standby, then
shuts down and loses your unsaved work.
To verify that Hibernation is enabled, select Start > Control
Panel > Power Options > Hibernate tab. Make sure that the
Enable hibernate support check box is selected.
Resolving Low-Battery Conditions
Ä
CAUTION: If the tablet PC has reached a critical low-battery condition
and has initiated Hibernation, do not restore power until the
power/standby light is turned off.
