The battery pack is now calibrated properly.
In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning indicator appears and fully
recharges the battery each time (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate
reporting of the battery gauge status.

Windows XP has an applet in the Control Panel that will display an icon in the Windows
taskbar indicating when the Notebook is running on battery power or is attached to the AC
adapter.
This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge is remaining in the battery.

When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state approximately 10 ~ 15 minutes of
the usable battery life is left.
You will hear an audible beep signal every 1.5 seconds alerting you to the “Battery Low”
status. When the battery power reaches the “Battery Low Low” status the beeping sound will
accelerate.
Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining. You must save your data or
connect AC power immediately; otherwise, you may lose your data.
