Battery Packs Placing the Power Meter Icon on the Taskbar To place the Power Meter icon on the taskbar, access the Power Options window. » Select the Advanced tab, and then select the Always show icon on the taskbar check box. ✎ If the Power Meter icon is on the taskbar, it will change shape depending on whether a battery pack or AC power is the primary power source. Managing Low-Battery Conditions It is important to respond to a low-battery or critical low-battery condition. This section describes default battery settings and ways to protect your work in a low-battery condition. Identifying a Low-Battery Condition When the battery pack is the only power source for the notebook and drops to 5 percent of a full charge, the notebook has reached a low-battery condition. When this condition occurs, the battery light blinks and a text warning message is displayed. The Power Options utility allows you to redefine a low-battery condition, set audio warnings, and change other power defaults. For details, see the "Power" chapter in the Software Guide on the Documentation Library CD. Identifying a Critical Low-Battery Condition If you do not resolve a low-battery condition, the notebook enters a critical low-battery condition. By default, the notebook defines a critical low-battery condition as 3 percent of a full battery charge remaining. 3-6 Hardware Guide
