NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you continue to ignore the low battery

warnings, the Notebook PC eventually enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR).

WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is depleted.

Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small amount of

power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery depletion or no power

supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).

Note: Screen captures shown here are examples only and may not reflect what you

see in your system.

Checking Battery Power

The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment, which

allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge left in the battery. A fully-charged battery

pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But the actual figure varies depending

on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size,

and the size of the display panel.
