Determining Battery Status

Your NEC Versa system provides tools to help you keep track of the main (and an optional)
battery's power level. If your system is configured (default setting) to display the power icon on
the taskbar in the Windows environment, an electrical plug appears when the system is
connected to an AC power source. A battery icon displays when the system is not connected to
an AC power source.
Use the system's power meter to determine battery status. Access the system's power meter in
the following ways:
Move the cursor over the power icon on the taskbar to display the remaining battery

properties.
Double click the power icon on the taskbar to display the remaining power for both the

In addition to the system's power meter, you can determine battery status via the battery gauge
