2.3. Using the ScreenTop Toolbar
The ScreenTop toolbar appears at the bottom of your device screen.
The toolbar provides backlight control, a battery monitor, the time and date, a home button, and an input method selector.
2.3.2. Using the Battery Monitor
The battery monitor shows the charge status of your battery. If you have a full charge, the toolbar colors the entire battery monitor icon white. As you use the power in the battery, the amount of the icon filled in corresponds to the percentage of battery charge remaining in your device battery.
To see an estimate of the remaining time your battery will provide, hold your pointer on the battery icon. You will see a pop-up message that displays the estimated remaining life of your battery in hours and minutes.
