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 LEDs. Each LED represents approximately 20% of the total
available charge.
Note: The Extended Battery information applies only to the LE1600
Tablet PC. If you are using the LE1600 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 chage level of the Extended
Battery, not the cumulative charge level.
Caution: When replacing the standard battery, make sure
that the locking latch is in the correct position, moved fully to
the right to lock the battery in place, and that the battery is
firmly installed.
Reading Battery Power from Motion Dashboard
The Motion Dashboard also has a power gauge that displays the
percent of remaining battery charge. If a Standard Battery and a
Extended Battery are both attached, the power reading is the cumulative
amount of both batteries.
