Using the power meter and power settings
The power meter is located on the Windows desktop. The power meter allows you to quickly access
power settings and view the remaining battery charge.
● To reveal the percentage of remaining battery charge and the current power plan, on the
Windows desktop, point over the power meter icon.
● To use Power Options, tap the power meter icon and select an item from the list. On the Start
screen, you can also type power, select Settings, and then select Power Options.
Different power meter icons indicate whether the tablet is running on battery or external power. The
icon also reveals a message if the battery has reached a low or critical battery level.
Running on battery power
When a charged battery is in the tablet and the tablet is not plugged into external power, the tablet
runs on battery power. If the tablet has a charged battery installed and the AC adapter is
disconnected from the tablet, the tablet automatically switches to battery power and the screen
brightness decreases to conserve battery life. The battery in the tablet slowly discharges when the
tablet is off and unplugged from external power.
Tablet battery life varies, depending on power management settings, programs running on the tablet,
screen brightness, external devices connected to the tablet, and other factors.
Factory-sealed battery
To monitor the status of your battery, or if the battery is no longer holding a charge, run Battery Check
in Help and Support. To access battery information, on the Start screen, type support, select the HP
Support Assistant app, and then select Battery and performance. If Battery Check indicates that
your battery should be replaced, contact support.
The battery in this product cannot be easily replaced by users themselves. HP recommends that you
contact support to have the battery replaced.
