A battery-driven electronic device, e.g., a radio communication terminal,
which is operable in different modes with related power consumption,
includes a data presentation function and a power consumption detecting
function to establish current power consumption based on established
current power consumption. By detecting and presenting data pertaining to
the current power consumption, rather than a predetermined expected way
of use, such as talk mode or standby mode, better control may be given to
a user of the device so that it may be operated in such a manner so as to
extend the battery life.
