Hi Karen,
Computers implement power schemes in different ways. It may be that you have
to set warnings and other alarms in the power manager application on your
computer.
You will find this in the control panel. There are a number of things you
can set there, things like what the computer does when you close the top,
turning off Bluetooth and network radios to preserve power, now long to wait
during inactivity to turn off the screen and yes, if warnings should be
display in the system tray.
You may even have to set it to show the battery gauge in the system tray
where you will be able to find it when you want to check battery status.
I believe, though I might be wrong, that the script to show the battery
status invoked with JAWS + Shift + B (B for battery) not V for Valerie) will
only work if the battery gauge is showing in the system tray.
I hope this is helpful.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] battery question and jaws
Hi folks. I forgot that I had my computer running on a battery instead
of plugging in, and of course the computer shut off. Will Jaws tell you
anywhere if batteries are low on computer? I have Jaws nine installed.
will it say ahead of time if you are going to run out of battery life?
