Monitoring the battery charge
Your new Gateway notebook is designed to provide an
exceptional balance of performance and portability. Your
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 main or optional secondary 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
battery(ies).
Recharging the battery(ies)
The battery(ies) recharge while they are installed and your
notebook is connected to AC power. While the battery(ies)
recharge, the battery charge indicator turns on.
