Monitoring of power condition

As shown in the below table, the Battery, DC IN and Power indicators on
the system indicator panel alert you to the computer’s operating capability
and battery charge status.

Battery indicator

Check the Battery indicator to determine the status of the battery pack.
The following indicator lights indicate the battery status:

Flashing orange

The battery charge is low, the AC adaptor must
be connected in order to recharge the battery.

Orange

Indicates the AC adaptor is connected and the
battery is charging.

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 pack becomes too hot while it is being charged, the charge
will stop and the Battery indicator will go out. When the battery pack's
temperature falls to a normal range, charging will resume - this process will
occur regardless of whether the computer's power is on or off.
