User's Manual

To run the Battery Calibration program tap Start, Programs, and Mobile Computer Tools.

After starting calibration, the Battery Calibration application requires no further input from the user. The

calibration consists of four steps:

1. Partial Discharge - the battery is drained to a level below 60 %.

2. Charge - the battery is fully charged to 100 %.

3. Discharge and calibrate:

First, the battery is discharged all the way down to zero. Now the battery is 'calibrated' but not

charged. You may stop the process after this point and let the battery charge outside of the Battery

Calibration application.

4. Charge - if the Battery Calibration continues running, the battery will fully charged to 100%.

NOTE The unit will not go into suspend mode while Battery Calibration is running.

CAUTION Do not disconnect AC power while Battery Calibration is running. If AC remains

disconnected for more than two minutes, the application will terminate.

CAUTION Do not remove the battery while Battery Calibration is running. Doing so will cause the

application to terminate immediately.

Using the Battery

Monitoring Battery Power

There are two ways to monitor how much power the battery has left:

1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Power Management (Power Options); then tap the Power

Meter tab.

2. Moving the cursor to the battery icon on the taskbar, without selecting anything, is the simplest

way to check on battery power status. The status will show as a pop-up when you mouse-over the

icon.
