Using the battery
The TabletPC runs on battery power when it is not plugged in. The battery, included with
the TabletPC, is installed on the back of the tablet. To increase your battery life, you can
install a second battery in any of the two battery bays. If a second battery is not installed, a
battery bay cartridge (non-functioning) is provided to occupy the second battery bay. For
more information, go to the Motion Computing accessories page at
www.motioncomputing.com/accessories.

Checking battery power

You can check the remaining battery power from Motion Dashboard, from the battery icon
in the notification area, or from the battery itself.
To check the remaining battery power
•Open Motion Dashboard to the Power panel (page24).
You can also place the pointer over the battery icon in the notification area. The battery icon
provides a graphical representation of the remaining battery power. If two batteries are
installed, the power reading is the cumulative charge of both batteries.
