Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time
or when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than
expected.
Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then
charging. It can take several hours.
1. Make sure that the tablet PC power is turned off. Connect the AC
adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
2. After the battery pack is fully charged, turn on the tablet PC. Press the
Ent key when the prompt appears on the screen during system startup.
The prompt shows up on the screen for only a few seconds. You must
press the
Ent key quickly.
3. A small window appears, select Launch System Setup to invoke the
program.
4. Disconnect the AC adapter and leave the tablet PC on until the battery
is fully discharged. The tablet PC will shut down automatically.
5. Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can
be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the tablet PC.
By Operating System
You can check the approximate battery level using the battery meter
function of the operating system. To read the battery level in Windows,
click the
icon on the taskbar. (Click the icon if the tablet PC is
using AC power.)
