Monitoring main battery power
The computer’s main battery light gives you an indication of the
main battery’s current charge:
❖ Glows amber while the main battery is being charged (AC
adaptor connected).
❖ Glows green when the main battery is fully charged.
❖ Is unlit when the battery has discharged, the battery is not
charging, or the AC adaptor is not plugged into the computer or
AC outlet.
Battery life and charge time may vary, depending upon power
management settings, applications and features used.
❖ Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low and it is
time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC adaptor.
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, either the
battery pack is malfunctioning, or it is not receiving correct input
from the AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC power cord/cable and remove the battery pack.
See “Changing the main battery” on page 111 for information on
replacing the main battery.
HINT: Be careful not to confuse the battery light ( ) and the
on/off light ( ).
When the on/off light or power button light flashes amber, it
indicates that the system is sleeping (using the Windows
®
operating
system Sleep command).
