Using the Battery
Monitoring Battery Power
There are two ways to monitor how much power the battery has left:
1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Power Management (Power Options); then tap the Power
Meter tab.
2. Moving the cursor to the battery icon on the taskbar, without selecting anything, is the simplest
way to check on battery power status. The status will show as a pop-up when you mouse-over the
icon.
NOTE
If you do not see the battery icon, enable it in Start, Settings, Control Panel, Power Management
(Power Options). Choose the Advanced tab and select "Always show icon on the taskbar."
Low Battery Alarms
How your computer responds to a low battery condition can be set by going to Start, Settings, Control
Panel, Power Management, Alarms.
Two different power alarms can be enabled or disabled: the Low Battery Alarm, and the Critical Battery
Alarm. Use the slidebar to set the power level at which the alarms are activated. Click on the Action
button to choose whether the alarm sounds, displays a message, or both.
