panel.

From the Windows Taskbar
Place the pointer over the battery indicator at the right end of the taskbar. The
approximate battery charge is displayed in a pop-up window.

4-4
Shows the approximate charge level of the battery relative to a full
charge. Each bar (displayed from right to left), represents a 10%
charge.
The upper and lower triangles indicate the presence of main (upper)
and secondary (lower) batteries. A triangle blinks when that battery is
in use. The main battery charges first, discharges last.
See "Battery Status" on page 3-14 for more information about the
battery indicators.
The outline blinks when the battery charge is critically low. The
OmniBook also beeps.
No battery activity; no charging. If a left bar appears in the far left of
the battery cell, the battery is overheated, so charging stops.
AC power is connected. If the indicator is blinking, then the battery is
also being charged.
