Hot Swapping the Battery Pack
The MD-100 Tablet PC battery can be replaced without shutting down the tablet or interrupting your
work, by use of the built-in battery. The built-in battery can sustain power for up to 30 minutes, during
which period the swappable battery must be changed to prevent loss of function.
To swap the battery, lay the tablet on a flat surface, and pull the two tabs indicated towards
the edges of the tablet. The battery will pop loose and a replacement can be slid into place.
The appropriate temperature range for hot swapping the battery pack is between -10 °C (14 °F) and
50 °C (122 °F).
Check the Bridge Battery Indicator after unlocking the battery latch. Replace the battery pack only
when the indicator lights in green. A red light means the internal bridge battery level is too low for you
to safely
hot swap the battery pack.
When the battery latch is unlocked, the display brightness level will be fixed at a low level and cannot
be adjusted
If the hot swappable battery pack is not inserted within 30 minutes, the Tablet PC enters Hibernation
mode or may switch off entirely.
