Checking the Battery Level 

You can check the remaining battery power in the Windows®  

battery status indicator located at the lower right-hand corner of the 

task tray. The Battery Status icon only appears in the task tray while 

the unit is running on the battery power but not while the unit is 

running off an external power source through the AC adaptor.

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

1. Click 

Start/Control Panel /   

Power Options

 then click   

Power Meter. 

2. Moving the cursor to the 

battery icon on the taskbar   

is the simplest way to   

check on battery power   

status. 

If you do not see the battery icon, enable it in 

Start / Control Panel 

/ Power Options. 

Choose the Advanced tab and click 

“Always 

show icon on the taskbar.”
