The gauge has two sections:

•The top section of the gauge shows an icon of a battery to indicate that the computer is being powered by the battery or an icon of a power cord plug to indicate that the computer is being powered by the AC adapter.

•The bottom section of the gauge shows you the approximate amount of battery charge remaining. (This section of the guage is only displayed if the computer is being powered by the battery.)

Using PowerProfiler to Monitor the Battery

PowerProfiler enables you to set power-management options for computer 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 taskbar. PowerProfiler shows you the amount of battery charge remaining.

The color of the battery icon also indicates approximate battery charge:

•Green: Charge is adequate to power computer.

•Yellow: Charge is low.

•Red: Charge is very low.

You can determine at what battery charge level PowerProfiler shows the low and very low colors. The default setting for the very low level is 20 percent battery charge remaining.

1.Double-click the PowerProfiler battery icon to open the software.

2.Click the Battery tab.

3.Set options under Battery Status and Alarm Settings.
