Power Status
A taskbar power icon denotes the Boston's current power status. Under normal operating
conditions, the Boston with a fully charged battery will not show any power status on the taskbar.
However, when the battery is running low, a series of pop-up warnings will be displayed prompting
the user to recharge the battery, and the taskbar will show the battery low warning icon.
When the Boston is in the QuickDock, the battery will begin to
charge and the charging icon will appear on the taskbar.
When the battery is fully charged, the icon will change to the
plug icon.
Double tap the power icon in control panel to display power
properties. On this screen the status of the main and backup
battery is shown, and the power saving features can be
adjusted.

condition. The Boston’s battery pack should be charged using
