Unplug the RTC from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning. Do not use aerosols, solvents, or strong
detergents.
Slots and openings in the system cabinet are for ventilation
purposes. Do not block or cover these openings or the system could
overheat. Do not use or store the RTC near a source of heat or dust.
On the base or rear panel of this RTC, there is a label with
information on the power requirements of this system. These
requirements must be followed. If you are unsure of your local
power supply, consult your dealer or local Power Company.
Do not step on or place anything on the power cord.
If you use the RTC with an extension cord, ensure that the total
ampere ratings of all the devices sharing the extension do not
exceed the rating of the extension cord or the rating of the wall
v

outlet.
Never push foreign objects into the RTC through any of the slots
or openings. Dangerous voltages are present, which could
cause electric shock or fire, or damage sensitive components.
FCC
This device complies with Part 15 FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

4.1 Power Management
Checking the Battery Level
You can check the remaining battery power in the Windows®
battery status indicator located at the lower right-hand corner of the
task tray. The Battery Status icon only appears in the task tray while
the unit is running on the battery power but not while the unit is
running off an external power source through the AC adaptor.
Battery Power Indicator
Enter Monitoring Battery Power
There are two ways to monitor how much power the battery has left.
1. Click Start/Control Panel /
Power Options then click
Power Meter.
2. Moving the cursor to the
battery icon on the taskbar
is the simplest way to
check on battery power
status.
If you do not see the battery icon, enable it in Start / Control Panel
/ Power Options. Choose the Advanced tab and click “Always
show icon on the taskbar.”

Charging
System On (Under Screen Saver Mode)
4~5 hours
System Off (Suspend to RAM)
~4 hours
Warning: When battery power is low, the battery
indicator will flash red, and the alarm will display a
warning on your screen. Take immediate action, such
as saving files or connecting to the AC adapter, or data
may be lost.
Low Battery Alarms
How your RTC responds to a low battery condition is set under
Start/ Control Panel / Power Options / Alarms.
Two different power alarms can be enabled or disabled: the Low
Battery Alarm, and the Critical Battery Alarm.
Battery Charging
When you use the AC adapter to connect your RTC to a power
outlet, the internal battery will automatically begin to recharge.
While the battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the
Indicator panel will be active after 6~12 seconds. When the battery
is fully charged, the Battery Charge icon will turn off.
If your RTC is turned off, a fully discharged battery will take about 3
hours to recharge. If your RTC is turned on and is not in suspend
mode, it twill take about 4~5 hours to recharge the battery. Refer to
the following table:
Note: A fully charged Li-ion Battery can run the RTC for approximately 6.0
hours.
Chapter 4 Power Management 4 - 3

4.2 When to Replace the Battery
Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We
recommend that you replace your battery when you notice that it
begins to store significantly less charge.
Changing the Battery
Change the main battery pack as follows:
1. Turn off the RTC.
2. To replace the Battery remove the screw and the Battery Bay
Cover shown right
3. Make sure the replacement battery is properly orientated. Then
insert the battery into the battery compartment. Check that the latch
locks back into position.
4.3 Heat Considerations
The RTC processor has been specially designed to consume little
power, and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot
environment, or working for long periods may raise the
temperature.
If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be
reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this
happens.
