Caring for the Tablet PC
z Charge the battery pack between 10 qC ~ 30 qC (50 qF ~ 86 qF)
temperature range.
A higher environment temperature will cause the battery pack’s
temperature to rise. Avoid charging the battery pack inside a closed
vehicle and in hot weather condition.
Also, charging will not start if the battery pack is not within the allowed
temperature range.
z It is recommended that you do not charge the battery pack more than
once a day.
z It is recommended that you charge the battery pack with the Tablet PC’s
power off.
z To maintain the battery pack’s operating efficiency, store it in a cool
dark place removed from the Tablet PC and with 30 % ~ 40 % charge
remaining.
z Important guidelines when using the battery pack.
When installing or removing the battery pack take note of the
following:
– avoid installing or removing the battery pack when the Tablet PC is
in Sleep mode. Abruptly removing the battery pack may cause
loss of data or the Tablet PC may become unstable.
– avoid touching the battery pack terminals or damage may occur,
thereby causing improper operation to it or the Tablet PC.
The Tablet PC’s input voltage and surrounding temperature will directly
affect the battery pack’s charge and discharge time:
– charging time will be prolonged when the Tablet PC is turned on.
To shorten the charging time, it is recommended that you place the
Tablet PC in Sleep or hibernation mode.
– a low temperature will prolong the charging time as well as hasten
the discharge time.
z When using battery power in an extremely low temperature
environment, you may experience shortened operating time and
incorrect battery level reading. This phenomenon comes from the
chemical characteristics of batteries. The appropriate operating
temperature for the battery is -10 qC ~ 50 qC (14 qF ~ 122 qF).
