Battery Charging
When you use the AC adapter to connect your MCA to a power
outlet, the internal battery will automatically begin to recharge (get
charged first with battery 1, then goes to battery 2 when battery 1 is
fully charged, and the MCA is powered by the AC adaptor.) While the
battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the Indicator panel
will be active after 6~12 seconds. When the battery is fully charged,
the Battery Charge icon will turn off.
If your MCA is system off, a fully discharged battery will take about 2
hours to recharge. If your MCA is turned on and is not in suspend
mode, it twill take about 2~3 hours to recharge the battery. Refer to
the following table:
Charging
System On
(Under Screen Saver Mode)
2~3 hours
System Off (suspend to RAM) ~2 hours
To ensure the battery be charged to its Max. capacity, we suggest
you execute the following steps to refresh battery.
1. Fully charged the battery
2. Enter the BIOS set up menu and stay the unit untouched. Then,
the unit can fully discharge the battery to lowest level.
3. Fully discharge the unit to 100%. Then the battery learning is
done.
Note: The battery only can be charged in the condition of room
temp. 0-30 degree C. Other than this range, the battery may
not be fully charged. One fully charged Li-Ion battery can run
the MCA for approximately 2.25 hours.
