Power and Power-Up Modes
Power indicator
Check the Power indicator to determine the power status.
Green
Blinking orange
No light
Indicates power is being supplied to the computer and the computer is turned on.
Indicates the power was turned off while the computer was in Resume mode. The indicator turns on for one second and turns off for two seconds.
Under any other conditions, the indicator does not light.
Battery types
The computer has three types of batteries:
■ Battery packs – main and secondary (option)
■ Real Time Clock (RTC) battery
Main battery
When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer’s main power source is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as the main battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended use of the computer away from an AC power source.
Before you remove the battery pack, set the computer to Hibernation mode or save your data and shut down the computer. Do not change the battery pack while the AC adaptor is connected.
The battery pack is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by
TOSHIBA as replacements.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby mode.
Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost. When the computer is powered off in Standby mode, and the AC adaptor is not connected, the main battery pack and optional secondary battery pack supply power to maintain data and program in memory. If the battery pack(s) is completely discharged, Standby mode does not function and the computer loses all data in memory.
