Battery Status

Windows Vista has an applet in the Control Panel that will display
an icon in the Windows taskbar indicating when the Notebook is
running on battery power or is attached to the AC adapter.
This applet also displays a meter that indicates how much charge
is remaining in the battery.

Battery Low Warning

When the pack initially reaches the “Battery Low” state
approximately 7 ~ 10 minutes of the usable battery life is left.
You will hear an audible beep signal every 15 seconds alerting you
to the “Battery Low” status. When the battery power reaches the
“Battery Low Low” status the beeping sound will accelerate.
Your battery now has 1 ~ 2 minutes of battery charge remaining.
You must save your data or connect AC power immediately;
otherwise, you may lose your data.
