Power Management
What to do when the battery alarm sounds
The Power Save Modes tab displays the remaining amount of time
for each of the different power usage modes.
With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery’s capacity will
gradually decrease. A frequently used older battery will not power
the computer for as long as a new battery, even when both are fully
charged.
HINT: Wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer
before trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The
computer needs this time to check the battery’s remaining
capacity and perform its calculations.
WARNING: The computer drains battery power more quickly
at low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently
if you’re working in temperatures below 50 degrees
Fahrenheit.
The Windows

management options that can be accessed through an icon in the
