indicator
, is blinking
orange.
Low Battery. Plug in the DC power source. If the computer doesn’t start up immediately, turn it off
then on again.
You are losing battery
power too quickly. The system is using too much power. If your OS has a Power Options scheme (see “Power
Plans” on page 3 - 4 / “Power Schemes” on page D - 20 ) check its settings. You may also be
using an PC Card/ExpressCard device/USB device/external device that is drawing a lot of power.
Actual battery operating
time is shorter than
expected. The battery has not been fully discharged before being recharged. Make sure the battery is fully
discharged and recharge it completely before reusing (see
“Battery Information” on page 3 - 9 /
“Battery Information” on page D - 25 ).
Power Options have been disabled. Go to the Control Panel in Windows and re-enable the
options.

unused device to save power.
