Determining Battery Status
Your NEC Versa system provides tools to help you keep track of the main (and an
optional) battery's power level. If your system is configured (default setting) to display
the power icon on the taskbar, an electrical plug appears when the system is connected
to an AC power source or a battery icon appears when the system is not connected to an
AC power source.
Use the system's power meter to determine battery status. Access the system's power
meter in the following ways:
Move the cursor over the power icon on the taskbar to display the remaining battery
!
power for the system's main battery.

power properties.
Double click the power icon on the taskbar to display the remaining power for both
!
the main and optional (if attached) battery.

and select the Power Meter tab.
Low Battery Status
When battery power is low (8% or less), the power LED lights yellow. When battery
power is very low (3% or less) the power LED flashes amber. When your system is in a
