Managing Battery Power Monitoring Battery Power Monitoring Battery Power The primary source of power for the OmniBook is its rechargeable battery pack. You can use the ac adapter to recharge the battery-or to run on ac power to preserve the battery. Important Running external connections is a power-intensive operation that significantly shortens the length of a battery session. Whenever possible, connect the ac adapter when using external connections. In addition to the replaceable battery, there is a permanent, internal backup battery, which recharges whenever the OmniBook is on or connected to ac. It maintains certain internal settings, such as the clock. To install APM for Windows NT 4.0 If a Power icon (battery or power plug) is present in the taskbar, APM is installed.
