Battery Pack
The MD-100 device has one small, permanent, internal battery and one hot-swappable battery. When
hot swappable battery has low voltage and needs to be replaced, the built-in battery will power the
tablet for up to 10 minutes.
To charge the Battery Pack:
1. Connect the power cable to the charging port on the device.
2. Connect the power adapter to an electrical outlet and charge the tablet until the battery is
fully charged.
3. After your device is fully charged, disconnect the charger from both the device and the
electrical outlet.
4. Additional hot-swappable batteries can be charged independently of the Tablet PC by
placing the battery into a docking station with a battery charging bay (available separately).
NOTE: To prevent damage to batteries, please see Section 8: Safety
Battery life naturally degrades over time. Failure to follow instructions for recommended
operating temperatures, charge and discharge rates, and other instructions may accelerate
battery decay rates. If your tablet battery will not accept or hold a satisfactory charge, it may need
to be replaced.
For battery storage and charging temperatures, see Section 8: Safety
Checking the Battery Level
To check the battery charge level of the MD-100, you may use the battery monitor within Windows
operating system or the voltage gauge of hot swappable battery pack.
When the hot swappable battery pack is not installed in the Tablet PC and you want to know the battery
level, press the Battery Test (1) button. The gauge will display the current battery charge level.
Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be different from the
estimated time, depending on how you are using the Tablet PC.
