Monitoring main battery power
HINT: Be careful not to confuse the battery light (
), the ON/OFF
light (
), and the power button light (near the upper-left corner of
the keyboard).
When the ON/OFF light or power button light flashes amber, it
indicates that the system is suspended (using the Windows
®
operating system Sleep command).

Determining remaining battery power
Wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer before trying

calculations.
