Checking the Battery Charge Status
You can check the battery charge status using one of the following two methods:
Method 1 : Pressing the <Fn>+<
> key combination displays the remaining
battery charge.
●
Power supply status (Power Source)
When operating on battery power
When operating on AC power
●
Remaining Battery Charge Level (Battery Level, %)
Method 2 : Remove the battery from the computer, and press the PUSH button on the
battery to view the approximate remaining battery charge (%).
Using the battery
Battery is an expendable supply, so when you use it for a long time, the capaci-
ty/battery life is shortened. If the battery life time is reduced to under half of the
initial time, we recommend that you purchase a new battery to use.
Battery Warning
You will hear an alarm when the remaining battery charge is under 10%.
Connect the power cable or turn off the computer and install a fully charged
battery.
When the remaining battery charge is under 3%, the computer automatically
saves current work and turns off. This may be different according to the
settings in Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power
Options > Alarms tab.
