HP 110c-1001NR manual Displaying the remaining battery charge, Inserting or removing the battery

Page 23

NOTE: The display brightness is decreased to save battery life when you disconnect AC power. To increase display brightness, use the fn+f4 hotkey or reconnect the AC adapter.

You can keep a battery in the device or in storage, depending on how you work. Keeping the battery in the device whenever the device is plugged into AC power charges the battery and also protects your work in case of a power outage. However, a battery in the device slowly discharges when the device is off and unplugged from external power.

WARNING! To reduce potential safety issues, use only the battery provided with the device, a replacement battery provided by HP, or a compatible battery purchased from HP.

Device battery life varies, depending on power management settings, programs running on the device, display brightness, external devices connected to the device, and other factors.

Displaying the remaining battery charge

▲Double-click the Power Meter icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.

– or –

Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Power Meter tab.

Most charge indicators report battery status as both a percentage and as the number of minutes of charge remaining:

●The percentage indicates the approximate amount of charge remaining in the battery.

●The time indicates the approximate running time remaining on the battery if the battery continues to provide power at the current level. For example, the time remaining will decrease when a DVD is playing and will increase when a DVD stops playing.

When a battery is charging, a lightning bolt icon may be superimposed over the battery icon on the Power Meter screen.

Inserting or removing the battery

To insert the battery:

1.Disconnect all external devices.
