Once your notebook goes into Dead Battery
Suspend mode you will be unable to resume
operation until you provide a source of power
either from an AC adapter, an optional auto/
airline adapter, or a charged battery. Dead
Battery Suspend mode shows on the Status
indicator just like the normal Suspend mode.
Once you have provided power, you will need
to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume
operation. In the Suspend mode, your data can
be maintained for some time. If a power source
is not provided promptly, the Power indicator
will stop flashing and go out, and you will have
lost the data that was not stored.
Once you provide power you can continue to use
your notebook while an adapter is charging the
battery, but the battery trickle charges under
these conditions. If you want to charge the
battery more quickly, put your notebook into
Suspend mode, or turn off your notebook while
the adapter is charging the battery. (See Power
Off on page 16 for shutdown procedures.)

There is no guarantee that data will not
be lost once your notebook enters the
Dead Battery Suspend mode.
