Introducing Your TransPort LT

You can monitor the charge of the battery pack installed in your computer through
the battery gauge.
Using the Battery Gauge
Press [Fn+F2] to display the battery gauge on the LCD. You can display the
battery gauge while you are in any program.
The gauge has four sections:
•
The top/left section of the gauge indicates whether the
secondary battery is used or not. If it is used, the two digit
decimal number that represents the status of secondary
battery charge remaining.
•
The top/right section indicates the approximate
amount of the primary battery charge remaining.
•
The bottom/left section of the gauge shows you
current PMS (Power management Setting) status which
is set in the system setup. It shows
Off
when the AC
adapter is plugged in.
•
The bottom/right section indicates whether the
computer is being powered by the battery or by the AC
adapter. An icon of a power cord plug indicates an
internal AC adapter power source and a battery icon
(shown) indicates a battery power source.
While the battery gauge is displayed, all keys except [Esc] are disabled. The
battery gauge closes in a few seconds, or you can press [Esc] to close it.
