Managing

Managing Power

Managing Managing

Your Tablet PC operates either on external AC power or on internal battery power.

This chapter tells you how you can effectively manage power. To maintain optimal battery performance, it is important that you use the battery in the proper way.

Power

PowerPower

AC Adapter

Adapter

AC AC

AdapterAdapter

CAUTION:

 The AC adapter is designed for use with your Tablet PC only.

Connecting the AC adapter to another device can damage the adapter.

 The AC power cord supplied with your Tablet PC is for use

in the country where you purchased your Tablet PC. If you plan to go overseas with the Tablet PC, consult your dealer for the appropriate power cord.

 When you disconnect the AC adapter, disconnect from the

electrical outlet first and then from the Tablet PC. A reverse procedure may damage the AC adapter or Tablet PC.

 When unplugging the connector, always hold the plug head.

Never pull on the cord.

The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct Current) power because your Tablet PC runs on DC power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It also charges the battery pack when connected to AC power.

The adapter operates on any voltage in the range of 100~240 V AC.

Battery Pack

Battery PackBattery Pack

Your Tablet PC has two battery packs. The battery pack is the internal power source for the Tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter.

NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is provided in the “Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter

Charging

Charging the Battery Pack

ChargingCharging

NOTE:

 Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is

outside the allowed range, which is between 0 °C (32 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F). Once the battery’s temperature meets the

requirements, charging automatically resumes.

 During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the

battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a prematurely charged battery.

 The battery has a high temperature protection mechanism

which limits the maximum charge of the battery to 80% of its total capacity in the event of high temperature conditions. In such conditions, the battery will be regarded as fully charged at 80% capacity.

 The battery level may automatically lessen due to the

 Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected.

 Make sure that the battery is not too hot or cold. Allow time for the battery pack

to return to room temperature.

 If the battery doesn't charge after it has been stored in very low temperatures, try

disconnecting and reconnecting the AC adapter to solve the problem.

 Make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly.

 Make sure that the battery terminals are clean.

The operating time of a fully charged battery becomes shorter.

 If you often partially recharge and discharge, the battery might not be charged to

its full potential. Initialize the battery to solve the problem.

The battery operating time indicated by the battery meter does not match the actual operating time.

 The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on

how you are using the Tablet PC. If the actual operating time is much less than the estimated time, initialize the battery.
