Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your
Booktop.
When Using Your Booktop M1005 Computer
CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for an
extended period of time with the base resting directly on

base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin can cause
discomfort or a possible burn.
• Do not attempt to service the Booktop yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.
• Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container
where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the
battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can generate
extremely high temperature and may cause burns to your skin.
• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and
that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped
on.
• While you are using the computer or charging the battery, place the
AC adapter in a ventilated area, like on a desktop or on the floor.
Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that may
prevent ventilation. Also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside

1.12 Using the Battery Pack
Booktop M1005 computer is designed to operate with one of the
following power sources:
AC power (using the AC adapter connected to an electrical
outlet)
Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack
You should use the AC adapter whenever possible; use the battery
pack only when AC power is unavailable. The rechargeable Li-Ion
battery pack allows you to operate your Booktop M1005 computer
without an external power source. When you use the AC adapter to
connect your Booktop M1005 to a power outlet, the internal battery
will begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery
Charge icon on the indicator panel will be on. Once the battery is
fully charged, the Battery Charge icon will turn off. Quick charging
time is 2.5 hours for the Lithium- Ion (Li-Ion) battery when the
computer is turned off, while the normal battery charging time is 3.5
hours.
Operating video, or audio equipment can increase the use of
your computer’s power.
Decreasing the monitor brightness can also save battery power.
When the battery is not fully charged, allow your battery to be
charged completely before using it (i.e., before disconnecting
AC power). Calibrating the battery before use is also highly
recommended. This is done in the system BIOS.
Li-Ion Battery is vulnerable; do not charge it with other power
adapters, otherwise re or explosion may occur.

2.1 Battery Pack
Your Booktop M1005 is equipped with a high-energy rechargeable
Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. Battery life will vary depending
on the product configuration, product model, applications loaded
on the product, power management settings of the product, and
the product features used by the customer. As with all batteries,
the maximum capacity of this battery will decrease with time and
usage.
2.2 Recharging The Battery Pack
Your Booktop M1005 supports both on-line and off-line recharge.
Follow the procedure below to recharge battery:
Make sure the battery pack is installed in the Booktop M1005
Connect the AC adapter to theBooktop M1005 a nd to an
electrical outlet. (See Page 10 for Instructions)
When a battery pack is being recharged, its battery LED (located
at the upper left corner of LCD display) should be lit. For details on
the LEDs, please refer to Chapter1.3. When the Booktop M1005
is OFF, a depleted Li-Ion battery will take 3.5 hours to recharge.
2.3 Questions And Answers
I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack. Is this normal?
Th e b atte ry wil l ge ner ate hea t d u rin g re cha rgin g a nd
di s c h a r ging. T h e r e is a protec t i o n circu i t inside th e
BBooktop M1005 to prevent overheating. User needs not
worry.
My battery operation time is not as long as it should be.
Why?
The battery is heat sensitive and can only be charged to its
maximum if the battery and its environmental temperature
remain within 15-25°C (59-77°F). The more the temperature
deviates from this range during recharging, the less chance
there is f or the battery to be fully charged. In order to
recharge the pack to its full capacity, users are requested
to cool down the unit by unplugging the AC Adapter. Wait
until it is cooled down. Then plug in the AC Adapter to start
recharging again.
I did not use my spare battery for a few days. Even though
it was fully recharged, there wasn’t as much power left as a
newly charged one. Why?
The batteries will self-discharge when they are not being
recharged. To make sure a battery pack is fully charged,
recharge before use. Always keep the battery inside the
Bookto p M10 05 and have the AC adap ter c onnecte d
whenever possible.

If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an
extended perio d of self-discharge, s ay more than three
months, the battery voltage level will become too low and
needs to be Pre-Charged (to bring the battery voltage level
high enough) before it automatically (for Li-Ion only) resumes
its normal Fast Charge. Pre-Charge may take 30 minutes.
Fast Charge usually takes 2~3 hours.
2.4 Battery Maintenance
To maintain the battery pack's maximum capacity, you should
occasionally let the Booktop M1005 deplete its battery power
completely before recharging.
To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the
AC adapter and let your Booktop M1005 consume the remaining
battery power. To speed up the depletion, use the HDD as much as
possible. When the battery is empty, wait for the Booktop M1005
to cool down (especially the battery). The temperature should be
within 15-25°C (59-77°F). Then insert the AC adapter to recharge
the battery.
2.5 Power Consumption
The Windows™ operating system has incorporated the latest
state-of-the-art ACPI (Advanced Conguration Power Interface)
power manageme nt methodology. In orde r to f ul ly utilize the
power of your battery packs, it would be a good idea for you to
spend some time to acquire a basic understanding of the power
management concept from your operating system.
In Windows™ Operating Systems, you can go through Power
Op tion s of the Con trol Pan el acco rdin g to the ver sion of
Windows™ Operating System the Booktop M1005 applies. We
shall not describe them in any detail.
2.6 Reducing Power Consumption
Alth ough your Book top M1005 (toge ther with the opera ting
system) is capable of power conservation, there are measures you
can take to reduce the power consumption:
Use the AC Adapter for power whenever possible.
Try to use the HDD drive to read and write les, instead of
using the external USB device.
Disable unused devices, such as Web Cam, WLAN, Bluetooth®,
and etc.
Decrease LCD panel brightness through Windows.
Note: Whenever system is powered on or powered off, make sure
the battery pack is installed in the battery pack compartment.

the system is on, the system disables write caching by default.
It does this so the devices can be removed without loss of data.
When write caching is disabled, however, the system will likely
experience slower performance, so be sure to enable write
caching when you have nished removing the device.
