WARNING: To avoid injury, keep the battery within
the recommended temperature range when charg-
ing it. Wait until it cools to room temperature before
recharging it in the Tablet PC or the battery charger.
For more information, see the Safety and Regulatory
Guide shipped with your Tablet PC or the documen-
tation that came with the battery charger. Or go to
www.motioncomputing.com/support to view these
documents.
To charge the battery:
1. Plug the AC adapter into the Tablet PC, then into a wall outlet or
power strip. (Completely recharging the battery may take up to two

system is powered on, with or without having the Tablet PC plugged into an
AC power outlet.

Stand By to swap the battery.
• Choosing Hibernate gives you more time to swap the
battery. Hibernate saves the status of the Tablet PC to
your hard drive.
