Battery Charge Gauge
The battery charge gauge on the rear of the main and secondary batteries
has 5 charge-level indicator lights that indicate how much battery charge remains. Each
light indicates approximately 20% battery charge. Press the status button to the right of
the lights to check the total battery charge. If none of the lights are on, the battery
has no charge left.

Under normal circumstances, you should only use the power button to turn on the
computer or to resume from save-to-disk suspend or standby mode. To shut down the
computer, click the Start button in the Microsoft® Windows®
98 operating system, and then click Shut Down. If the computer is hung
and the operating system does not respond, press and hold the power button until the
system turns off completely (this may take 4 to 8 seconds).
Display Close Button
When you close the display, this button activates Standby mode. Do not press this
button.
