These indicators change as the battery levels change. Battery 1 is the internal Lithium ion Smart battery and Battery 2 is the external Lithium ion Smart battery. (Figure 2-3 on page 23.) You can also check the PowerPanel toolbar. (See pages 43-47.) The Lithium ion batteries are recharged internally using the AC adapter or auto/airline adapter. To recharge the batteries: s When two Lithium ion batteries are installed, the charge/discharge rate of the internal and external Lithium ion batteries are the same, when they are connected in parallel and are both charging and/or discharging at the same time. Since the rates are the same, one may finish charging or discharging before the other if they were not at the same charge le vel when they were installed and/or the AC or auto/airline adapter was connected. You can choose to have the batteries charged in series instead of in parallel, which will change the relative charging rates for the two batteries. There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion batteries, which means that you do not ne ed to discharge them completely before recharging. A single fully discharged Lithium ion Smart bat tery will charge in approximately three (3) hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend mode. The charging time from fully discharged for two Lithium ion batteries together, is approximately 5 hours when your notebook is Off or in Suspend mode.Of course partially charged batteries will not take as long to charge. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook is in use while the batteries are charging (from approximately nine (9) hours for one battery to approximately 15 hours for two batteries with normal operating levels). CAUTION Using heavy current devices such as LAN cards or frequent CD-ROM accesses may prevent charging completely. Low Battery State When the battery is running low, your notebook beeps about every 15 seconds and the Battery Level indicator(s) flash. If you do not respond to the low battery alarm,the batteries will continue to discharge until they are too low to operate. When this happens there will be a multiple beep alarm,the Battery Level indicator will show dead battery, and your notebook will go into Suspend mode to try and protect your data as long as possible. Your power management settings do not affect whether the dead 31 Make sure the battery to be charged is installed, then connect the AC adapter or auto/airline adapter. Make sure that the Battery Charging indicator to the left of the Battery Level indicator of the battery to be charged is visible on the Status Indicator panel. The percentage charge is shown inside the Battery Level icon. (Figure 2-4 on page 25.) s s Section Two battery alarm le vel will send your notebook into Suspend mode,it will not go to Save-to-Disk mode. (Figure 2-3 on page 23.) CAUTION You may not be able to hear the audio alarms if the volume control is set too low or is turned off by either hardware or software but you will still be able to see the Battery Level indicator(s) flash. When the low battery alarm occurs you need to save all your active data and put your notebook into Suspend mode until you can provide a new power source. You should provide this power as soon as possible. The new power source can be a charged battery or a power adapter, either AC or auto/airline. CAUTION When you are in Suspend mode there must always be at least one power source active. If you turn off the power with the power switch, or remove all power sources, battery, AC adapter, or auto/ airline adapter, while your notebook is in Suspend mode any data which has not been saved to the hard drive will be lost. Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an AC adapter, an optional auto/ airline adapter, or a charged battery. Dead Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status indicator just like the normal Suspend mode. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Suspend mode, your data can be maintained for sometime. If a power source is not provided promptly, the Power indicator will stop flashing and go out,and you will have lost the data that was not stored.
