Inspect Your Battery Status
In the Desktop, touch the battery icon in the Taskbar. A pop-up dialog box will appear
and show you the remaining battery percentage.
The battery icon reveals the status of your battery, which is described below.
Icon
Definition
Battery is fully charged.
Battery is starting to drain.
Battery is about to completely drain,
and you should stop using your
device and charge it at once.
Battery is being charged.
A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long time, the capacity/
battery life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under half of its initial time,
we recommend purchasing a new battery. When not using the battery for a long
time, store the battery after charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the
battery lifetime.
