The Main battery, Secondary battery, DC IN and Power indicators on
the system indicator panel alert you to the computer’s operating capability
and battery charge status.
Battery indicators
Check the Main battery indicator to determine the status of the main battery
and the Secondary battery indicator to determine the status of the secondary
battery. 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.

charging the battery.

battery is fully charged.

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.

AC adaptor connected:

supplying proper power to the computer.
Flashing orange Indicates a problem with the power supply. Plug
the AC adaptor into another outlet. If it still does
not operate properly, see your dealer.
