Using the Main Battery Lights
There are four battery status lights on the main battery that indicate if
the main battery is charging and the amount of battery charge
remaining.
To see how much charge remains in the main battery, remove the
battery (See “Removing and Installing the Battery” on page 37 for
more information.) and press the battery status button. Each light
indicates a 25 percent charge. For example, if three lights are on, the
battery has a 75 percent charge. The battery status lights automatically
turn off two seconds after you release the battery status button.
Using PowerProfiler to Monitor the Battery
PowerProfiler enables you to set power-management options for
computers shipped with Windows NT installed. To use PowerProfiler
to monitor the battery charge, place the cursor on the battery icon in the
right corner of the taskbar. PowerProfiler shows you the amount of
battery charge remaining.
The color of the battery icon also indicates approximate battery charge:


Green: Charge is adequate to power computer.


Yellow: Charge is low.


Red: Charge is very low.
You can determine at what battery charge level PowerProfiler shows
the low and very low colors. The default setting for the very low level
is 20 percent battery charge remaining.
To set battery monitoring options in PowerProfiler:
1. Double-click the PowerProfiler battery icon to open the
software.
2. Click the Battery tab.
3. Set options under Battery Status and Alarm Settings.
