Monitoring Battery Power

The primary source of power for the OmniBook is its rechargeable internal battery.
typical battery life is 1.5 to 2.0 hours, but varies with type of usage.
You can use the ac adapter to recharge the battery or to run on ac power to
preserve the battery. You can also use the enhanced battery slice to approximately
quadruple your battery session.
Running external connections is a power-intensive operation that significantly
shortens the length of a battery session. Whenever possible, connect the ac adapter
when using external connections.
