Using your notebook
Monitoring the battery charging level
With the battery charging indicator you can check the remaining battery capacity (see "Status
indicators").
Windows includes a "battery charge meter" for monitoring the battery capacity. This can be activated
under Start - (Settings) - Control Panel - Power Options. The battery charge meter is then displayed in
the task bar as a battery symbol. When you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the
system displays the battery status.
