Measuring the Remaining Battery Charge
To check the remaining capacity of the battery, click the battery 
icon on the bottom- right of the screen.
Battery Usage Time Information
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.

All about Chrome OS
Your Chromebook runs the Chrome operating system that’s built 
and optimized for the web. Using your Chromebook is as easy as 
surfing the web.  
Zero to web in 10 seconds. 
• 
Chromebooks start in 10 seconds and resume instantly 
from sleep mode. Your favorite websites load quickly and 
run smoothly, with full support for the latest web standards 
and Adobe Flash. The best part: Chromebooks not only stay 
fast, but are designed to get faster over time as updates are 
released.
Same experience everywhere.
•    
All your apps, documents, and settings are  synced to your 
account and stored in the cloud. To customize the data that 
gets synced, go to Settings  > Personal Stuff.
Always connected.
•   
Now, you can stay online at home, outdoors, or on your 
morning commute because your Chromebook makes it easy 
to get online anywhere, anytime, via Wi-Fi and, if included, 
mobile broadband service.
Built-in security.
•   
Your Chromebook is much safer than a regular computer. 
Each webpage and application you visit runs in a restricted 
environment. So if you visit an infected page, it can’t affect the 
other tabs, apps, or anything else on your computer.   Less updating. More surfing.
•   
When you turn your Chromebook on, it updates itself. 
Automatically. All of your apps stay up-to-date, and you 
get the latest and greatest version of the operating system 
without having to think about it. Starting now, say goodbye to 
annoying update prompts.
