Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet Client
Charging the Battery
When you connect the Tablet Client to AC power with a battery attached, the system automatically charges the battery until it reaches full charge. If two batteries are attached, the primary battery charges first, followed by the secondary battery. The charging sequence is staggered to ensure that both batteries become fully charged at nearly the same time. The standard battery charges to the 80% level, followed by the Extended Battery charging to the 80% level. Then each battery charges for a short interval until both reach 100%.
The Battery Status LED is on the Tablet Client flashes amber when the battery is at a critically low level and changes to solid amber while charging. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Status LED is solid blue.
WARNING: To avoid injury, keep the battery within the recommended temperature range when charging it. Wait until it cools to room temperature before recharging it in the Tablet Client or the battery charger. For more information, see the Safety and Regulatory Guide shipped with your Tablet Client or the documentation that came with the battery charger. Or go to www.motioncomputing.com/ support to view these documents.

1.Plug the AC adapter into the Tablet Client.
2.Then plug the AC adapter cable into a wall outlet or power strip. (Completely recharging the battery may take up to two hours, although the battery reaches an 80% charge in much
less time.)
