Using the Battery

Monitoring Battery Power

There are two ways to monitor how much power the battery has left:

1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Power Management (Power Options); then tap the Power

Meter tab.

2. Moving the cursor to the battery icon on the taskbar, without selecting anything, is the simplest

way to check on battery power status. The status will show as a pop-up when you mouse-over the

icon.

NOTE

If you do not see the battery icon, enable it in Start, Settings, Control Panel, Power Management

(Power Options). Choose the Advanced tab and select "Always show icon on the taskbar."

Low Battery Alarms

How your computer responds to a low battery condition can be set by going to Start, Settings, Control

Panel, Power Management, Alarms.

Two different power alarms can be enabled or disabled: the Low Battery Alarm, and the Critical Battery

Alarm. Use the slidebar to set the power level at which the alarms are activated. Click on the Action

button to choose whether the alarm sounds, displays a message, or both.

CAUTION

When battery power is low, the Battery Power Indicator will flash and the alarm will

beep or display a warning on your screen. Take immediate action, such as saving files or connecting to

the AC ada
