Charging the Battery Pack
The Stylistic 2300 battery pack can be charged while it is installed in the pen tablet. To do so:
1.Connect a DC power source, such as the AC adapter, to the DC input connector on the pen tablet. The DC Input icon appears in the Status display. If the battery pack charge level is below 90%, the battery pack begins charging and the Charging icon appears in the Status display. If the battery pack charge is 90% or higher when you connect DC power, the battery pack will not charge; this prevents overcharging the battery pack.
2.Look at the Battery Gauge icon in the Status display to determine the percent of charge in the battery pack. See “Status Display” in Chapter 1 of this manual for a description of the Battery Gauge icon.
As long as DC power remains connected to the pen tablet, the charging process continues until the battery pack charge reaches 100%. Charge times shown in Table
Table 2-2 Battery Pack Charging Time
Battery Pack Charge | Approximate Charge Time | Approximate Charge Time |
Level Reached | (tablet not in use) | (tablet in use) |

Also note the following with respect to charging the battery pack:
•You can use the system, suspend system operation, or shut down and turn off the system without interrupting the charging process; however, using the system while the battery pack is charging will cause the battery pack to charge at a slower rate, as noted in Table
•As noted in the procedure above, the system will not begin charging the battery pack if the battery pack charge level is 90% or higher when the system is initially connected to external DC power. (This prevents the battery pack from being overcharged.)
