Checking Battery Power

The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows
environment, which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge
left in the battery. A fully-charged battery pack provides the Tablet PC a few hours
of working power. But the actual figure varies depending on how you use the
power saving features, your general work habits.
To check the remaining battery power, move your finger over the power icon. The
power icon is a " battery" when not using AC power and a "plug" when using AC
power. Touch on the icon for more information and settings.
Note:
If you ignore the low battery warning, eventually the Tablet PC enters suspend mode (Windows default settings)
Warning :
Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is depleted. Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the
same as power OFF. STD requires a small amount of power and will fail if no power is available due to complete
battery depletion or no power supply (e.g. removing the power adapter ).
Remaining Battery power may be shown in terms of percentage or hours, and these units may vary
depending upon the operating system versions or hardware configuration.
