Using the power meter and power settings
The power meter is located on the Windows desktop. The power meter allows you to quickly access power
settings and view the remaining battery charge.
●
To reveal the percentage of remaining battery charge and the current power plan, on the Windows
desktop, point over the power meter icon.
●
To use Power Options, tap the power meter icon and select an item from the list. On the Start screen,
you can also type power, select Settings, and then select Power Options.
Different power meter icons indicate whether the tablet is running on battery or external power. The icon
also reveals a message if the battery has reached a low or critical battery level.
Running on battery power
When a charged battery is in the tablet and the tablet is not plugged into external power, the tablet runs on
battery power. If the tablet has a charged battery installed and the AC adapter is disconnected from the
tablet, the tablet automatically switches to battery power and the screen brightness decreases to conserve
battery life. The battery in the tablet slowly discharges when the tablet is off and unplugged from external
power.
Tablet battery life varies, depending on power management settings, programs running on the tablet, screen
brightness, external devices connected to the tablet, and other factors.
