RG 5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3.3

Slim SelectBay, or carry additional charged battery packs 
with you.

The computer also has an internal real-time-clock (RTC) 
battery. The RTC battery powers the RTC memory that stores 
your system configuration settings and the current time and 
date information.

The RTC battery does not charge while the computer is turned off, 
even when AC power is attached.

The computer’s main battery light gives you an indication of 
the main battery’s current charge:

❖

Green indicates the AC adapter has fully charged the 
battery.

❖

Amber indicates the AC adapter is charging the battery.

❖

Off indicates that the battery is not being charged.

Battery life and charge time may vary depending upon power 
management settings, applications and features used.

❖

Flashing amber indicates that the computer is using 
battery power, and the battery’s charge is running low.

HINT: Be careful not to confuse the battery light (

) with the on/off 

light (

). When the on/off light flashes amber, it indicates that the 

system is suspended (using Windows

®

 XP Standby command).

Your computer can be configured to warn you when the 
battery is running low. For more information, see “What to do 
when the battery alarm sounds” in the electronic user’s guide.

 

When your battery power is running low, you have two 
options: connect the computer to an AC power source or 
install a charged battery. 

If your battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. Be sure 
to save your work often.
