CHARGING THE | When you connect the Tablet PC to AC power with the battery installed, the | |
BATTERY | system automatically charges the battery until it reaches full charge. | |
| The Battery Status LED is amber while the battery is charging and changes | |
| to green when fully charged. | |
|
| WARNING: To avoid injury, be sure to stay within the recommended |
|
| temperature range when charging the battery. Wait until it cools to |
|
| room temperature before recharging or replacing it with another |
| battery. See the documentation that came with the battery charger for more | |
| information. | |
| To charge the battery: | |
| 1. | Plug the AC power adapter into the Tablet PC, then 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.) |
| 2. | Turn the Tablet PC over to see the battery gauge on the |
|
| bottom of the Tablet PC and press the button next to the |
|
| battery gauge. If all five LEDs are green, the battery is |
|
| fully charged. Or, move the pen over the Power/Battery |
|
| icon to display battery power resources. (The blue area on the battery |
|
| icon shrinks as the battery runs down.) |
SWAPPING THE | You can swap the battery while the system is powered on, with or without | |
BATTERY | having the Tablet PC plugged into an AC power outlet. | |
| 1. | If the Tablet PC is running, save all active files. |
| 2. | Go to Start>Turn Off Computer. |
