Figure 27 Battery Screen
The Battery screen lists the applications using the battery. The discharge graph at the top of the screen shows the
rate of the battery discharge since last charged (short periods of time when connected to a charger are shown as
thin green lines at the bottom of the chart), and how long it has been running on battery power.
Touch an application in the Battery screen to display details about its power consumption. Different applications
display different information. Some applications include buttons that open screens with settings to adjust power
use.
