Monitoring the battery charge
Closely monitor the battery charge. When the battery charge gets low, change
the battery or connect to AC power immediately to prevent losing any
unsaved work.
Monitor the battery charge by:
■ Positioning the cursor over the power cord icon or battery icon in
the taskbar. A battery status window opens. Move the cursor away from
the icon to close the window.
■ Pressing FN+STATUS to view the Status display, which opens in the upper
left corner of the screen. The Status display shows the current power
source, the battery charge, and the power management mode.
■ Waiting for a Low Battery warning message to appear.
If your battery charge indicators display what looks like an inaccurate charge,
you may need to recalibrate the battery. For more information, see
“Recalibrating the battery” on page 108.
