Using the Battery Gauge

Using PowerProfiler to Monitor the Battery

You can monitor the charge of the battery pack installed in your computer through the battery gauge.

Press [Fn+F2] to display the battery gauge on the LCD. You can display the battery gauge while you are in any program.

The gauge has four sections:

The top/left section of the gauge indicates whether the secondary battery is used or not. If it is used, the two digit decimal number that represents the status of secondary battery charge remaining.

The top/right section indicates the approximate amount of the primary battery charge remaining.

The bottom/left section of the gauge shows you current PMS (Power management Setting) status which is set in the system setup. It shows Off when the AC adapter is plugged in.

The bottom/right section indicates whether the computer is being powered by the battery or by the AC adapter. An icon of a power cord plug indicates an internal AC adapter power source and a battery icon (shown) indicates a battery power source.

While the battery gauge is displayed, all keys except [Esc] are disabled. The battery gauge closes in a few seconds, or you can press [Esc] to close it.

Use PowerProfiler to set power-management options for computers shipped with Windows NT installed. To use PowerProfiler to monitor the battery charge, place the cursor on the battery icon in the right corner of the task bar. PowerProfiler shows you the amount of battery charge remaining.
