Using the battery meter

The battery meter is located in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar. The battery meter
allows you to quickly access power settings, view remaining battery charge, and select a different power
plan:

over the battery meter icon.

item from the list.

icon also displays a message if the battery has reached a critical battery level.

2. Click the Notification Area tab.
3. Under System icons, clear the Power check box to hide the battery meter icon, or select the
Power check box to display the battery meter icon.
