Managing Battery Power The OmniBook conserves power by using Advanced Power Management (APM), software that controls battery charging and power drain. The OmniBook provides several safeguards so you won’t be surprised by a dead-battery condition, including the following: ♦ The battery status indicator shows the remaining battery charge. ♦ Built-in warnings are displayed for low-battery conditions. ♦ The OmniBook automatically turns off when the battery charge gets too low—your session continues when you start recharging the battery or insert a fresh battery. ♦ Data previously saved on any of the drives is not affected by a low battery.
However, unsaved data could be affected if the battery runs down completely while writing data to the drive. 3-2
