moderated Checking remaining battery power
|
Marilyn Bland <tinkerbelltx@...>
Hello listers,
Please help –
I have a laptop and want to know – step by step please - how to find out how much battery power is left before I have to charge it again. Also, does the machine have to be off and plugged in to charge, or will it charge while plugged in and is in use?
Many thanks.
Marilyn

Marilyn:
When using my Windows 7 laptop with Jaws 2018 here, I hit shift capslock B. … This will give me the percentage of charge left in my battery. If the computer is plugged in, it will indicate that the battery is charging.
The battery will charge while using your computer when plugged in. However, it is good to occasionally unplug the laptop in order to let the battery cycle through a charge to preserve its life as long as possible.

Tom,
I am using Windows 7 and JAWS 17 latest update. Will the 3 keystrokes still be the same? I tried, but without success.
Thanks.

Yes, they should work.
Be sure to press the shift and shift lock key simultaneously, followed by the letter B. as in bravo.
Let us know if this still does not work for you.

Tom,
Well, still no luck. I have pressed the shift keys on both the left and right of the keyboard together with caps lock and then the letter b. The only thing that happens is that caps lock on and the b is announced, along with a little beep sound to indicate caps on or off.
Should I be arrowing to somewhere or should the percentage just be announced?
Thanks.

Hi, Marilyn. It sounds as if your capslock key is not the same as your JAWS key. What you need to do is press your JAWS key plus the Shift key plus B.

Another way to find your battery percentage is with JAWSkey+f11. it is in the system tray with a list of other information.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Windows key+b will also access the system tray, although it calls it "notification chevron".

Most of us, in Settings, Personalization, Taskbar Pane, Notification Area Section, Select which icons appear in the notification area link do not have the toggle for Always show all icons in the notification area set to Off. As a result, only those icons for running programs or system features that have their individual toggles set to ON will always be visible in the main body of the notification area. All other running programs or system features will be in the notification overflow area, which is accessed by activating the notification chevron, which is what you've landed on when you hear it announced. I'd go nuts if many of the system tray/notification area icons that I very seldom need to reference were all to be shown in the notification area. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1803, Build 17134 Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Oops, that should have been, "do not have the toggle for Always show all icons in the notification area set to ON" or "have the toggle for Always show all icons in the notification area set to Off."

Yes, I assumed that she already had Jaws set for the laptop keyboard configuration.
As for the AC power notification when the computer is plugged in, I tried to indicate that this would tell her she was on normal electrical power, and that her battery was charging.
At least I think she’s got it now.

Tom,
I am using Windows 7 and JAWS 17 latest update. Will the 3 keystrokes still be the same? I tried, but without success.
Thanks.

When using my Windows 7 laptop with Jaws 2018 here, I hit shift capslock B. … This will give me the percentage of charge left in my battery. If the computer is plugged in, it will indicate that the battery is charging.
The battery will charge while using your computer when plugged in. However, it is good to occasionally unplug the laptop in order to let the battery cycle through a charge to preserve its life as long as possible.

Hello listers,
Please help –
I have a laptop and want to know – step by step please - how to find out how much battery power is left before I have to charge it again. Also, does the machine have to be off and plugged in to charge, or will it charge while plugged in and is in use?
Many thanks.
Marilyn

It means you’re connected to alternate current and the charging cable is workingg
