Note:
When you install an operating
system, you must also install the
ThinkPad Features program with the
Utility Diskette before the
Fuel-Gauge program can be used.
The Fuel-Gauge program displays the following battery-pack
conditions on the screen:
Power mode
Battery status
Suspend or hibernation options
Discharge option
The Fuel-Gauge program is available in OS/2 or Windows. When
you click on the Fuel-Gauge icon in the ThinkPad Features window,
the Fuel-Gauge program appears. When you minimize the program
to an icon, every time you press the Fn

F2 key combination, the
Fuel-Gauge icon appears or disappears alternately from the screen.
Refer to the following descriptions and illustrations, which depend on
the power source, of the Fuel-Gauge program.

Repeatedly charging a battery pack
that has not been completely
discharged shortens the battery
operating time. To preserve battery
operating time, discharge the battery
pack completely, then recharge it.
