Battery Status
Windows XP has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon
in the Windows taskbar indicating when the Notebook is running on
battery power or is attached to the AC adapter.
This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge is
remaining in the battery.
Battery Low Warning
When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state approximately 7
~ 10 minutes of the usable battery life is left.
You will hear an audible beep signal every 1.5 seconds alerting you to the
“Battery Low” status. When the battery power reaches the “Battery Low
Low” status the beeping sound will accelerate.
Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. You
must save your data or connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you
may lose your data.

Small Battery for the Real Time Clock
There is a small built-in battery pack that supplies power to the system in
order to maintain certain system information while the power is off. If the
Notebook is left without a power source for long period of time, this
battery will be exhausted and system information will be lost.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose
of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Never remove the battery pack while the power is on as this may result in
data loss when the system loses power.
