Fitting the batteries

Before you can use the netBook you must fit both batteries, as shown below.

The netBook is powered by:

a powerful Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack.

a Lithium CR2032 backup battery (supplied). This preserves your information should you need to change the main battery.

Take care when replacing batteries!

You will lose information if you remove both batteries at the same time, or allow both batteries to become completely run down. The netBook will warn you when its batteries are getting low, in plenty of time to change/charge them. See the ‘Care & safety’ chapter for more about battery safety, and details of how to change the batteries.

You can also power the netBook from the mains. You should ONLY use Psion approved mains adaptors. Contact your Psion distributor or local Psion retailer for more information.

Prise open backup battery door and fit backup battery exactly as shown

Turning on & off

To switch on: slide the on/off switch to the left or press the Esc key. When you first do this, you’ll see the System screen.

Note: The netBook will automatically switch on when an alarm rings.

To switch off: slide the on/off switch to the left or hold down the Fn key and press the Esc key. You can switch off at any time. You do not have to save your information first, as it is automatically saved for you.

Note: If you do not press a key, the netBook will automatically switch off after 3 minutes to save battery power. Switch it on again, and you can continue from where you left off.

Can I switch on the netBook by tapping the screen?

Yes. You can set up your netBook to switch on when you tap the touch-sensitive screen. To do this, open the Switch on/off icon from the Control Panel in the System screen.

Slide main battery into housing until door clicks into place
