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.
