Monitoring the battery charge
Your new Gateway convertible notebook is designed to
provide an exceptional balance of performance and
portability. Your convertible notebook uses the latest chipset
and mobile processor technologies to manage the processor
speed and power consumption for a greater battery life
experience. This design provides you with maximum
performance when plugged into AC power balanced with
optimized battery life when on battery power.
Closely monitor the battery charge. When the battery charge
gets low, change the battery or connect to AC power
immediately to prevent losing any unsaved work. To monitor
the battery charge:
•
Move the mouse pointer over the power cord icon
or battery icon
in the taskbar. A message appears
showing the remaining battery time and the current
power plan.
•
Wait for a Low Battery warning message to appear.
•
Look at the battery charge status indicator.
If your battery charge indicator displays what looks like
an inaccurate charge, you may need to recalibrate the
batteries.
Recharging the batteries
The main and optional multibay batteries recharge while they
are installed and your convertible notebook is connected to
AC power. While the batteries recharge, the battery charge
indicator turns on.
