Power Interpreting Charge Displays Most charge displays report battery status as both a percentage and as number of minutes of charge remaining. ■ The percent indicates the amount of charge remaining in the battery pack. ■ The time indicates the approximate running time remaining on the battery pack if the battery pack continues to provide power at the current level. For example, the time remaining will decrease when you start playing a DVD and will increase when you stop playing a DVD. Most charge displays identify battery packs by location: ■ Location 1 is the battery pack in the primary battery bay. ■ Location 2 is the optional travel battery pack. On some displays, a lightning bolt icon may be displayed on the charge display beside a battery pack location. The icon indicates that the battery pack in that location is charging. Managing Low-Battery Conditions Some low-battery condition alerts and system responses can be changed in the Power Options window of the operating system. The information in this section describes the alerts and system responses set at the factory. Preferences set in the Power Options window do not affect lights. Hardware and Software Guide 2-25
