Power

Interpreting Charge Indicators

Power Meter displays battery status in both percent and time:
■The percent indicates the amount of charge remaining in the
battery pack.
■The time indicates the approximate running time remaining
on the battery pack if the battery pack continues to provide
power at the current level. For example, the time remaining
will decrease if you start playing a DVD and will increase if
you stop playing a DVD.
