MyBattery is a stand-alone application. It is designed to run all the time, normally in the background.
To install MyBattery, simply copy the application to where you want it - your âUtilitiesâ folder or wherever. The first time you run the program, it will create a âMyBattery Preferencesâ and âMyBattery Dataâ file in your âSystemâ Folder (or in the âPreferencesâ folder if you are running System 7).
Running on startup under System 6.0.x
If you want MyBattery to run whenever you turn on or restart your Macintosh, perform the following steps:
1) Locate your copy of MyBattery.
2) Click on the application icon once to select it.
3) From the Special menu, choose âSet Startup...â.
4) Under the sentence that says âUpon startup, automatically openâ, click on the radio button for âMyBatteryâ.
5) Restart! MyBattery should start running automatically.
Running on startup under System 7.x
1) Locate your copy of MyBattery.
2) Click on the application icon once to select it.
3) From the File menu under the Finder, choose âCreate Aliasâ.
4) Drag the alias to the âStartup Itemsâ folder, inside your âSystem Folderâ.
5) Restart! MyBattery should start running automatically.
Or, if you desire, you can place the MyBattery application itself in your âStartup Itemsâ folder, which will save a little disk space.
