Mobile Computing
Monitoring main battery power
HINT: Be careful not to confuse the battery light ( ) with the
ON/OFF light ( ).
When the ON/OFF light flashes amber, it indicates that the system is
suspended (using the Windows
®
operating system Sleep command).

Determining remaining battery power
Wait a few moments after turning on the computer before trying to
monitor the remaining battery power. The computer needs this time
to check the battery’s remaining capacity and perform its
calculations.
