Recharging the internal battery

The Pedion’s internal battery begins to recharge as
soon as you connect the Pedion to the AC power
supply.

The Pedion’s Battery Status light

is orange while

the battery is recharging, green when it is recharged.
The time to recharge depends on the method you use:

Recharge (while working) ............................12 hours

Recharge (while turned off) ...........................3 hours

Checking the battery level (1)

You can quickly check the battery level by positioning
the cursor over the Battery Meter icon on the
Windows taskbar. A “tool-tip” appears showing the
amount of battery life remaining, expressed either in
time or as a percentage of full charge. (The Battery
Meter icon looks like a battery when the Pedion is on
battery power, or like a power cord when the Pedion
is connected to the AC power supply.)

Battery Meter icons

If you want more information, you can double-click
the icon to open the Battery Meter dialog.
