What Is The Indicator Light That Is A Key With A Full/empty Bar

I have a 2008 Altima.  When I start the car a light comes on of a key with a bar underneath with a F on one end and a E at the other(assuming this is meaning empty and full).  I have looked in the owners manuel and can not find this image or a description. Please help. Thanks, Anna

That light is a gauge for your key fob battery. It will tell you how much life is left in the battery, so you will have time to replace it before the battery dies.
