Chapter 2: Getting Started

Power Management

Important: Take care when replacing batteries!

The netpad will warn you when its main battery is getting low, in plenty of time to change/charge it. The backup battery is designed to maintain the memory for several hours. However, prolonged reliance on the backup battery does reduce its life.

2.2.3.2Charging The netpad Battery Pack

To charge the battery, attach the battery pack to the netpad and place the complete netpad in a netpad docking station (for instructions, please refer to page 31), or place the battery in one of the optional battery chargers. The standard (850 mAH) netpad battery will normally be fully charged within 2 to 2.5 hours (3 hours for a 1400 mAH battery pack).

2.2.3.3How Do I Check The Battery Power?

To check the battery power, open the Battery icon from the Control Panel. The Battery tab gives a brief description of the state of the main battery.

2.2.3.4Changing Battery Packs

If you are using your netpad away from the charger and a spare battery pack is avail- able, you can change batteries when the battery warning is displayed. To do this:

1.Switch the netpad off.

2.Press on the battery pack latch to remove it.

3.Push in the replacement battery pack.

Important: Always switch off the netpad before removing the main battery. Never remove the battery from the netpad while it is in the docking station. Never use a netpad without a battery in the docking station.
