that battery level is reached. For example, you may choose to have the Tablet PC
sound an alarm, or you may prefer to receive a text message.
Power Meter. The Power Meter tab shows the Power Meter window and shows a
visual indication of the Battery Status for battery #1 and #2 (if present and attached
to the Tablet PC). The icon shows the remaining battery level and the text shows
the percentage remaining. You can click on a battery icon to open a detailed
information window for that battery.
Advanced. The Advanced tab shows the Advanced window where you specify
the power settings options that you want to use. You can also specify what you want
the Tablet PC to do when you press the
Power switch. Your choices include
everything from doing nothing, going into standby mode, to hibernation, or to
performing a shut down of your computer.
Hibernate. The Hibernate tab opens the Hibernate window where you enable or
disable hibernation by using the Hibernation checkbox. This window also shows
information about the hard drive space on your computer and details the amount of
hard disk drive space required for safe hibernation. Selecting Hibernate has the
following advantages over placing your Tablet PC in the Stand By state:
• Hibernate saves the state of the desktop and applications
• Hibernate consumes no battery power
• When you return from the Hibernate state, you return to where you were when
you entered hibernation.
Checking your battery power level. There are several ways to see how much
battery power is left on your Tablet PC. You can determine the remaining battery
power by doing any of the following:
• Reading battery power from the Tablet PC display
To check the power level while you are on battery power, move
the pen over the Power Meter icon, shown here, in the system
tray at the bottom-right corner of the Tablet PC display. Hovering
over this icon shows the number of hours of battery power and the
percentage of battery power remaining. (Also, the blue area on
the battery icon, representing available power, gets smaller as the battery
discharges.)
• Reading battery power from the battery gauge (requires battery removal)
Ensure that AC power is plugged into the Tablet PC, or that the Tablet PC is
turned off. Turn the system over so that you are looking at the back and remove
the battery from the top of the tablet. The gauge is mounted on the backside of
the standard battery. Press the button and look at the indicator lights. Each
indicator light represents approximately 20% of the total available charge.
NOTE: The Extended Battery information applies only to the LE-Series
Tablet PC. If you are using the LE-Series Tablet PC and the optional
Extended Battery is attached, the battery gauge is located on the back of the
Extended Battery, and can be checked without removal. Also, the gauge on
the Extended Battery shows the charge level of the Extended Battery, not
the cumulative charge level.
