Power Management
Checking the Battery Level
You can check the remaining battery power in the Windows® battery status
indicator located at the lower right-hand corner of the task tray. The Battery
Status icon only appears in the task tray while the unit is running on the
battery power but not while the unit is running off an external power source
through the AC adaptor.
