When Using Your Booktop M1022 Computer
CAUTION: Do not operate your portable computer for an
extended period of time with the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can build up in the
I
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 a carrying case.
• Do not insert objects into the air vent of your Booktop computer. Doing so can cause short-circuiting and may result in fire or electrical shock.
• Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are supplied by your

1.13 Using the Battery Pack
Booktop M1022 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 M1022 computer without an external power source. When you use the AC adapter to connect your Booktop M1022 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.

10
removed.
4. Make sure the replacement battery is properly oriented before inserting it into the battery compartment.
Note: The battery can not be charged to 100% when remaining battery is no less than 95%. It is based on the supplier’s advice, and to extend charging frequency and battery life.
Maintenance of the AC Adapter
Do not connect the adapter to any other device. Do not step on the power cord or place heavy objects on top of it.
Carefully route the power cord and keep cables away from all trafc.
When unplugging the power cord, do not pull on the cord itself but on
the plug connector instead.
If you are using an extension cord, m ake sure th at the device s
plugged onto the cord do not exceed its total capacity. Furthermore, the devices plugged into the electrical outlet shall not exceed the fuse’ s total ampere rating.
Please verify power voltage before connecting the electrical cord to
the power outlet. If you are uncertain of its power specication, please consult with your local vendors or power company for more details.
1.14 Connecting the AC Adapter
The AC adapter converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to the computer. It can automatically adjust to any voltage from 100 to 240 volts and outputs power at 12V, (12V, 3.0A for M1022), allowing you to use your Booktop M1022 computer in almost any region globally.

2.1 Battery Pack
Your Booktop M1022 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
English
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 M1022 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 M1022. Connect the AC adapter to the Booktop M1022 and 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 Chapter1.3. When the Booktop M1022 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?
The b att e ry wil l gener ate heat d urin g r echa rgi n g a nd
discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the Booktop M1022 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 Bookt op M1022 and h ave the AC adapt er con nec ted whenever possible.
I did not use my spare battery for months. I have a problem with recharging it.
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.
