Power indicators
As shown in the previous table, the Battery, DC IN and Power indicators
alert you to the computer’s operating capability and battery charge status.
Battery indicator
The following indicator lights indicate the battery status:
Flashing orange The battery charge is low. The AC adaptor must
be connected to recharge the battery.
Orange Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and
charging the battery.
Green Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and the
battery is fully charged.
No light Under any other conditions, the indicator does
not light.
If the battery becomes too hot while it is being charged, the charge will
stop and the battery indicator will go out. When the battery’s temperature
falls to a normal range, charge will resume. This event occurs regardless
of whether the power to the computer is on or off.
DC IN indicator
Check the DC IN indicator to determine the power status with the
AC adaptor connected:
Green Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and
supplying proper power to the computer.
Flashing orange Indicates a problem with the power supply or
overheating of the CPU. Plug the AC adaptor into
another outlet. If the indicator still flashes, there
could be a problem with the internal converter or
the internal temperature is too high. Let the
computer cool to room temperature. If it still does
not operate properly, see your dealer.
No light Under any other conditions, the indicator does
not light.
