Monitoring main battery power

 

(Sample Illustration) Power and battery light locations

Determining remaining battery power

Wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer before trying 
to monitor the remaining battery power. The computer needs this 
time to check the battery’s remaining capacity and perform its 
calculations.

Move the pointer over the power icon in the Notification Area, see 

“Finding your way around the desktop” on page 123

 for more 

information on the Notification Area. A pop-up message displays 
the remaining battery power as a percentage.
