Chapter 2 Battery

U60 Ultra Mobile PC User’s Guide

2.1 Battery Pack

Your Ultra Mobile PC is equipped with a high-energy rechargeable
Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery pack. Battery life will vary depending

on the product conguration, 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 Ultra Mobile PC supports both on-line and off-line recharge.
Follow the procedure below to recharge battery:

• Make sure the battery pack is installed in the Ultra Mobile PC.

• Connect the AC adapter to the Ultra Mobile PC and to an

electrical outlet.

When a battery pack is being recharged, its battery LED (located
at the bottom of LCD display) would be lit. For details on the LEDs,
please refer to Chapter 1.3. When the Ultra Mobile PC is OFF, a
depleted Li-Ion battery will take three hours to recharge.

2.3 Questions And Answers

I can feel a mild heat next to the battery pack. Is it normal?

The battery will generate heat during recharging and

discharging. There is a protection circuit inside the Ultra

Mobile PC to prevent overheating. User needs not to 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 for 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 (1% per day for Li-Ion)

when they are not being recharged. To make sure a battery
pack is fully charged, recharge before use. Always keep the
battery inside the Ultra Mobile PC and have the AC adapter
connected whenever possible.

Battery

ENGLISH

ENGLISH

Battery

I did not use my spare battery for months. I have problem in

recharging it.

If you happen to leave your battery pack to go through an

extended period of self-discharge, say 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 Ultra Mobile PC deplete its battery power
completely before recharging.

To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the
AC adapter and let your Ultra Mobile PC 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 Ultra Mobile PC
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 Conguration Power Interface)
power management methodology. In order to fully utilize the
power of your battery packs, it would be a good idea for you to
spend sometime to acquire a basic understanding of the power
management concept from your operating system.

In Windows™ Operating Systems, you can go through Power

Options of the Control Panel according to the version of
Windows™ Operating System the Ultra Mobile PC applies. We

shall not describe them in details.

2.6 Reducing Power Consumption

Although your Ultra Mobile PC (together with the operating
system) is capable of power conservation, there are measures you
can take to reduce the power consumption:

• Use the AC power whenever possible.

• Try to use the HDD drive to read and write les, instead of

using the external USB FDD.

• 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.

6.1 Frequently Asked Question

My computer switches to hibernation mode much too quickly,

and I have to constantly hit a key or move the mouse to bring
back the screen. What can I do?

This is part of Windows Power Management. Access

Power Management by clicking on Start / Control Panel /
Performance and Maintenance / Power Options, and change
the time next to the "Turn off monitor" option to the time you
want. You have the choice of either adjusting time for the
power supply or for the battery.

I've heard that cleaning and rearranging les on the hard

drive will improve program's launch speed, how do I do this?

Good disk maintenances can improve program launch

speed. This normally includes deleting unnecessary les,
and defragmenting hard disk so that les can be more
efciently grouped. Windows contains maintenance utilities
for these tasks; run Disk Cleanup to remove unnecessary
les, and Disk Defragmenter to defragment fragmented le
blocks. For more information about these utilities, please
refer to your Windows documentation.

The dial tone volume of the internal fax/modem is too low.

How can I increase its volume?

Go to Start/Control Panel/Sounds, Speech, and Audio

Devices, under Device volume, adjust your speaker volume
by controlling the volume bar.

What kind of external microphone can I use with my UMPC
computer?

You will need to use a self-amplifying microphone.

There are echoes coming from my speakers. What can I do?

Double click on the Speaker icon on the task bar. Then,

under Microphone Balance, check the Mute box.

Because of a software problem, I was unable to shut the
computer down from Windows, I pressed the power button to

power off the computer, but it didn't work. How can I force a
power off?

Make sure you press the power button for at least 4 seconds.

Normally, this will force the computer to shut off.

Why can't I charge the battery of my portable computer after
it was out of use for some time?

After your portable computer has not been used for a long

time (say: more than one month), the battery will enter into
low voltage protection mode. Under this circumstance,
restoring to normal voltage will require the battery to be
slowly charged for several hours. Once the battery has been
fully charged, your will resume to normal operation.

My computer says: "CMOS Battery Low", what should I do?

If your computer is without power (i.e. unplug the computer

power source from the power outlet and remove the battery
pack from it) for over 45 days, you would lose the information
stored in CMOS.
Please follow the steps below to recongure your CMOS
settings:

1. Press F2 to enter into the BIOS setup utility.

2. Select "Load Optional Defaults?". When you see the
following prompt, choose <OK> and then press <Enter>.

3. Select "Save Changes and Exit", select <OK> and press
<Enter> to restart your computer.

Caution

• Unplugging or ejecting a device that supports safe
removal without rst using the Safe Removal application
to warn the system can cause data to be lost or your
system to become unstable. For example, if a device is
unplugged during a data transfer, data loss is likely. If you
use Safe Removal, however, you can warn the system
before you unplug or eject a device, preventing possible
loss of data.

Troubleshooting

How to unplug or eject devices?

1. In the notication area next to your task bar, double-click
the Safe Removal icon. Safe Removal displays a list of

Plug and Play devices that support safe removal and that
are currently attached to the system.

If you do not see the Safe Removal icon, your device

does not supports safe removal, and you cannot unplug
or eject your device using Safe Removal.

2. In Safely Remove Hardware, in the list of devices, select
the device that you want to unplug or eject, and then click
Stop. This tells the system that you will be unplugging or
ejecting the device.

3. In Stop a Hardware device, click OK.
A notication appears stating that it is now safe to unplug
or eject the device.

Note

• For removable storage devices that can safely be
removed while 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.
