❖
Plug the computer into an external power source and
recharge the battery.
❖ Put the computer in Hibernate mode and replace the
battery with a charged spare.
❖ Save your work and turn off the computer.
If you do not manage to do any of these things before the
battery completely runs out of power, the computer
automatically enters Hibernate mode and turns itself off.
Hibernate mode keeps track of where you were so, when you
turn on the power again, you can continue where you left off.
The computer stores the information on what you were doing
until the battery runs out of power. If you have Hibernate
mode enabled (the default), the computer copies the details of
your open programs and files to the hard disk before shutting
down.

battery is running low.
You can set multiple alarms. Each alarm can be set to alert

has been reached. You can set how the warning occurs: sound
