Using battery power

If the Slate contains a charged battery and the Slate is running on external AC power supplied through the AC adapter, the Slate switches to battery power if the AC adapter is disconnected from the Slate.

NOTE: When you disconnect AC power, the display brightness is automatically decreased to save battery life. For information on increasing or decreasing display brightness, refer to The Basics guide.
