Checking Battery Power

Tap Start > Settings > System > Power.

Note: The Backup Battery gauge registers either 0% or 100%. The percentage is not an indication of the level of charge remaining on the backup battery. An installed and functional battery registers 100%. A total discharge or a battery error registers 0%.

For more information, see Power on page 7-14.

Note: Tapping the battery icon at the top of the screen does not open the Power applet with this version of Microsoft Windows Mobile.
