Power Management Status

Power Management Status

The power management status pane
indicates the current power level for
the battery, as well as whether you are
currently using the battery or AC power
to operate your unit. If the battery icon
shows a plus sign, the battery is
currently charging.

Note: The gas gauge accuracy value is the

accuracy of the charge level value.
Temperature fluctuations or battery use over time can cause the battery
charge value to become less reliable. If the gas gauge accuracy value
increases, this means that although the charge level is stated as 100 %, the
actual energy level of the battery might not necessarily be 100 %.

You can set your unit to automatically switch to suspend mode or system
idle mode independently for the battery or AC power modes. This is useful
for example if you want to save battery power but do not want to be
hindered by unwanted switches between modes when using AC power.

To change the power management settings:
1.
Press ,

select

System, then

Settings, and then Power.

2. Select the Schemes tab.

3. Under DC In or Battery, use the

arrow keys to select the system
idle or suspend mode item, then
press

to view the list of

available choices. The current
choice is indicated by a black dot.

4. Select a new value, then press

to confirm the choice. Repeat for

the other modes as needed.
