Alarm settings
Even though several ways to keep tabs on your battery power are available, alarms letting you know that you might be about to lose battery power are useful.
The Alarms window lets you turn off and turn on the alarms, set the point at which your notebook alerts you that your battery is running low, and select the notification method.
