Resolving a Low Battery Condition When
No Power Source Is Available
To resolve a low battery condition when no power source is
available, do one of the following:
■
Initiate Hibernation until a power source is available. This
automatically saves all current information in memory to the
hard disk and turns off the computer. When power is available
and the computer is turned on, all information returns to the
screen at the point where Hibernation was initiated.
■
Save your information, then turn off the computer until a
power source is available.
