Chapter 6: Managing Power
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:
■
Double-tap or double-click the power cord icon or battery icon
in the taskbar. The Power Meter dialog box opens.
■ Look at the battery charge indicator (see “Status indicators” on
page 30 ):
■
LED blue - battery is fully charged.
■
LED purple - battery is charging.
■
LED blinking red - battery charge is very low.
■
LED solid red - battery is malfunctioning.
■ Wait for a Low Battery warning message to appear.
If your battery charge indicator displays what looks like an inaccurate
charge, you may need to recalibrate the batteries. For more information,
see
“Recalibrating the batteries” on page 75 .
Important If the power cord or battery icon does not appear on the
taskbar, tap or click the show hidden icons
button. If
the icon still does not appear, make sure that Always
show icon on the taskbar is checked on the Advance tab
in the
Power Options Properties dialog box.
