To read the status panel indicators
Indicator | Meaning |
| AC power. The ac adapter is plugged in. |
| Blinks when the battery is being charged. |
|
|
| Battery status. Shows the approximate charge level of the battery relative |
| to a full charge. Each bar (displayed from right to left), represents a 10% |
| charge. |
| The upper and lower triangles indicate the presence of main (upper) and |
| secondary (lower) batteries. A triangle blinks when that battery is charging |
| or is in use. The main battery charges first, discharges last. |
| If two batteries are installed and ac power is not connected, the |
| gauge reports the percent of total charge, where both batteries are |
| included. For example, if the main battery is 50% and the secondary battery |
| is empty then the gauge would read 25%. |
| If two batteries are installed and ac power is connected, the gauge |
| reports the percent of total charge for only the battery that is charging. For |
| example, if the main battery is 50% and the secondary battery is empty, |
| the gauge will read 50% indicating the state of the main battery. |
| You can press Fn + F6 at any time to see the status of each individual |
| battery. |
