Identifying low battery levels
When a battery that is the sole power source for the computer reaches a low battery level, the battery
light blinks.
If a low battery level is not resolved, the computer enters a critical battery level, and the battery light
blinks rapidly.
The computer takes the following actions for a critical battery level:
● If Hibernation is enabled and the computer is on or in Standby, the computer initiates Hibernation.
● If Hibernation is disabled and the computer is on or in Standby, the computer remains briefly in
Standby, and then shuts down and loses any unsaved information.
Resolving a low battery level
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of losing information when the computer reaches a critical battery level
and has initiated Hibernation, do not restore power until the power lights turn off.
