You can set multiple alarms. Each alarm can be set to alert
you when a specified percentage of remaining battery power
has been reached. You can set how the warning occurs: sound
an alarm, display a message, both, or none. You can also set
the computer to enter Standby mode or Hibernation mode, or
to Turn Off or Shut down when the alarm goes off.

Management” on page 194.

Running on Batteries section, click Details.
