1.4.3. MONITOR BATTERY LEVEL
The main battery is the only source that feeds the mobile computer to work. It also supplies
the backup battery on main board to retain the data stored in DRAM. Hence when main
battery level gets low, recharge it or change it as soon as possible. Most critically, back up
the important data from time to time to protect your work.
