A five-LED battery gauge is located on the battery on the bottom of 
your Tablet PC. Each LED represents about 20% of available power. 
You can activate the gauge by pushing the black button next to 
the LEDs.

In the example shown here, two LEDs are lit, which means the 
battery has about 40% of its power remaining.

The built-in fingerprint reader lets you scan your fingerprint and associate it 
with a password. This provides a quick and convenient way to log on to your 
Tablet PC and provides additional password management and protection for 
your data.
