User Manual

1. Fully charged packs deteriorate faster than partly discharged ones. For ideal
storage, charge the packs to 100% then discharge them to 50% charge before
storing.
2. Do not allow stored battery packs to discharge completely, as this may
permanently damage them. Follow a regular maintenance charge policy for stored
packs.
3. Avoid storing packs at temperatures greater than 30ºC (86ºF) as this speeds self-
discharge and battery ageing.
4. Storing packs at temperatures near 0ºC (32ºF) slows self-discharge and battery
ageing, so packs that are stored for a long period are best kept at these
temperatures.
If you store battery packs at normal ambient temperatures, use this charging policy to
maintain battery pack condition:
1. Charge installed packs every 21 days to maintain their charge capacity.
2. Charge uninstalled packs every 6 months.
When you bring an GoBook Q•100 out of storage, you should charge it for at least 7
hours so that both the main battery pack and the standby battery are fully charged.

Maintaining Your GoBook Q•100
Your GoBook Q•100 computer is rugged and water-resistant; however we recommend
you take the following precautions to ensure that your GoBook Q•100 will give you
many years of reliable service.
1. Avoid unnecessarily subjecting the unit to extreme temperature, such as bright
sunlight in a vehicle.
2. Avoid leaving it in damp or dusty places.
3. Do not use hard or sharp objects to touch the display screen. The GoBook Q•100
uses a glass touch panel (display screen) to provide the best display clarity. The
screen is well protected against falls onto flat surfaces, but can still be damaged if
it is struck directly or scratched by a sharp object.
4. Avoid dropping your GoBook Q•100 or subjecting it to severe impacts.
