Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indi-
cator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once your
notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will
be unable to resume operation until you provide a
source of power either from an adapter, or a charged
battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to
press the Power/Suspend/Resume button to resume
operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data
can be maintained for some time, but if a power source
is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop
flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data
that was not stored. Once you provide power, you can
continue to use your notebook while an adapter is
charging the battery.
Shorted Batteries
The Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the
battery outline of the Battery Level indicator to display
the operating level available in that battery. (See
Figure 2-9 on page 12) If this display shows a Shorted
Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must
be replaced so it does not damage any other parts of your
notebook.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
With the purchase of an additional battery, you can have
a fully charged spare to swap with one that is not
charged. There are two ways to swap batteries, cold-
swapping and hot-swapping:
Cold-swapping Batteries
To cold-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these
easy steps: (Figure 4-1)
1. Have a charged battery ready to install.
2. Shut down your notebook and disconnect
the AC adapter.
3. Unlock the battery by pushing the lock button away
from the battery.
4. While holding the lock button, slide the release latch
to the left until the bright orange indicator is visible.
5. Remove the battery from the bay by lifting it at the
lock point.
6. Position the new battery as shown (Figure 4-2), then
press the new battery into the bay.
7. While pressing the lock, slide the release latch to the
right to cover the orange indicator to lock the
battery in place.
8. Plug in the AC adapter and turn the power on.
Hot-swapping Batteries
To hot-swap batteries in your battery bay follow these
steps: (Figure 4-1)
1. Plug an AC Adapter into the system and connect it
to a power outlet.

Figure 4-2. Installing a Battery
Be sure to plug in an AC Adapter prior to
removing the battery. There is no bridge
battery present to support the system
while the battery is being replaced. If you
do not use an AC Adapter you will lose
any unsaved files.
If the Lithium ion battery connector is not
fully seated, you may not be able to use
your notebook or charge your battery.
