Reading Battery Power from the Battery Gauge

Turn the Tablet PC over to view the battery gauge on the back of the Tablet PC. Press the button next to the battery gauge. If all five LEDs are green, the battery is fully charged. Each LED represents about 20% battery capacity.

2.Tap Adjust Power Properties to open the Power Options Properties.

3.The window opens to Power Schemes.

4.Change the settings to the desired power configuration.
