Determining remaining battery power
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.
Move the cursor over the power icon in the Notification Area, see
“Finding your way around the desktop” on page 124. A pop-up
message displays the remaining battery power as a percentage.
