NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you continue to ignore the

low battery warnings, the UltraMobilePC eventually enters suspend mode (Windows

default uses STR).

WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is

depleted. Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small

amount of power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery deple-

tion or no power supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).

Note: Screen captures shown here are examples only and may not reflect

what you see in your system.

Checking Battery Power

The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment,

which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge left in the battery. A fully-

charged battery pack provides the UltraMobilePC a few hours of working power. But the

actual figure varies depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work

habits, the CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display panel.
