Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can
be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the computer.
By Operating System
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter
function of the operating system. To read the battery level, click the
icon on the system tray.
By Gas Gauge
On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the
estimated battery charge. When the battery pack is not installed in the
computer and you want to know the battery charge, you can press the
switch with a pointed device to see the corresponding value of indicator
segment that light green. The value of the corresponding green segment
indicates the relative percentage of the battery charge. The battery pack is
fully discharged when you see no segment glowing green.
