90 Mobile Computing Monitoring battery power Charging the RTC battery Your device may have an internal real-time clock (RTC) battery. The RTC battery powers the System Time Clock and BIOS memory used to store your device's configuration settings. When fully charged, it maintains this information for up to a month when the device is powered off. The RTC battery may have become completely discharged while your device was shipped, resulting in a CMOS error message during startup. The error message may vary by device model. NOTE Depending on your system, the RTC battery may only charge while the device is turned on. To recharge the RTC battery, plug the device into a live electrical outlet and leave the device powered on for 24 hours. NOTE It is seldom necessary to charge the RTC battery because it charges while the device is on. If the RTC battery is low, the real-time clock and calendar may display the incorrect time and date or stop working. When the RTC battery is completely discharged, a warning prompts you to reset the real-time clock. The device can be used while the RTC battery is being charged, although the charging status of the RTC battery cannot be monitored. Determining remaining battery power NOTE Wait a few moments after turning on the device before trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The device needs this time to check the battery's remaining capacity and perform its calculations. Touch the Power icon in the notification area, see "Finding your way around the desktop" on page 99 for more information on the notification area. A pop-up message displays the remaining battery power as a percentage.
