Battery Status Gauge

A five-LED battery gauge is located on the battery on the bottom of your Tablet PC. Each LED represents about 20% of available power. You can activate the gauge by pushing the black button next to the LEDs.

In the example shown here, two LEDs are lit, which means the battery has about 40% of its power remaining.

FINGERPRINT The built-in fingerprint reader lets you scan your fingerprint and associate it

READERwith a password. This provides a quick and convenient way to log on to your Tablet PC and provides additional password management and protection for your data.
