Battery Use
Your Notebook battery will store more charge and have an increased life span if you keep the battery fully charged whenever possible and do not allow it to
become completely discharged. Top-up charges are much less stressful to a Lithium-Ion battery than full discharge/charge cycles.
Battery Charging
The supplied AC adapter will run the Notebook and charge the battery simultaneously, however the battery will charge more rapidly if the Notebook is switched
off during charging . Ensure that the AC adaptor is not placed under or near the battery compartment during charging because heat from the AC adaptor can
seriously degrade battery life. For the same reason, avoid charging the battery in a confined space where heat may build up (e.g. a cupboard). Ensure
adequate ventilation during charging.
Useful Battery Life
The battery is rated to provide good service for 250-350 full charge/discharge cycles. As with all rechargeable batteries performance will decline slowly with
use, dependent on usage patterns. If the battery performance begins to seriously decline you should consider replacing the battery. For the best advice on
how to get the longest life from your batteries, please visit the RM website at www.rm.com/support

and search our Knowledge Library for 'Battery'.
Storage of your Battery
If you are not using your Notebook for several months you should ensure that the battery is between 40% and 90% charged before storage (preferably
90%) and remove the battery from the notebook. Leaving the battery in a fully discharged state can permanently damage the battery.
Calibration
Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries may periodically require re-calibrating if battery life seems much shorter than is usual. Refer to the Notebook User Manual for
details.

5 Safety Information

The mains cable provided has a sealed moulded plug and fuse. Always use the supplied cable, plugged into a standard 3-pin power socket. Always replace a
blown fuse with one of the same rating, and ensure the fuse cover is refitted. Check the condition of cables regularly. If any are damaged, replace them
immediately. Place the Mobile One near to outlet sockets to avoid the trip hazard of trailing cable s.
Do not use the Mobile One in conditions of extreme temperature, humidity, dust, vibration, or electromagnetic radiation. They may damage your Mobile One or
make it unsafe to use.
To avoid over-heating ensure the ventilation slot on the rear is not obstructed. Leave a gap of at least 10cm (4 inches). When the Mobile One is switched on
avoid sudden movement of the unit. Hard disks are easily damaged if moved whilst operating. Failure to comply with these guidelines may cause damage to the
Mobile One and are not covered by any warranty. The Mobile One User Manual contains more information and may be found pre-installed on your Mobile One
system.
