Before starting the computer, remove the battery. There is a charge gauge on the bat-
tery that tells you how much power remains in the battery. To activate the charge
gauge, press the button next to the battery connector. Lights on the charge gauge
light up to indicate the amount of charge in the battery. The more lights that light up,
the more charge the battery has.
