Icon Meaning
Main battery is low.
Main battery is very low.
External (AC) power source is connected and/or main battery is
charging.
Note that when the charge level in the battery pack gets very low, an
exclamation mark (!) appears beside the battery icon.
Shortly after the battery icon explanation mark appears, a warning
message appears to explain that the device cannot continue operating
because of insufficient battery charge, and the device shuts down.
NOTE: To save power, the backlight is automatically disabled when the
exclamation mark (!) appears beside the battery icon.
Responding to a Low Battery Pack
When the battery icon appears in the task bar, be aware that the battery
pack charge level is low. If you can’t connect the AC adapter or install a
spare charged battery pack, you may continue working but avoid using
heavy power-consuming features such as the screen backlight or
CompactFlash cards.
When the exclamation mark (!) appears beside the battery icon, save any
unsaved data you are working on and turn off the device. Don’t try to
restart the device until you have connected to a power outlet using the AC
adapter or you have replaced the discharged battery pack with a fully
charged battery pack.
