Battery Pack

Your Tablet PC has two battery packs. The battery pack is the internal power source

for the Tablet PC. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter.

NOTE: Care and maintenance information for the battery is

provided in the “Battery Pack Guidelines” section in Chapter

Charging the Battery Pack

NOTE:

 Charging will not start if the battery’s temperature is

outside the allowed range, which is between 0 C (32 F) and

50 C (122 F). Once the battery’s temperature meets the

requirements, charging automatically resumes.

 During charging, do not disconnect the AC adapter before the

battery has been fully charged; otherwise you will get a

prematurely charged battery.

To charge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the Tablet PC and an electrical

outlet. The Battery Charge Indicator ( ) on the Tablet PC glows amber to

indicate that charging is in progress. You are advised to keep the Tablet PC power

off while the battery is being charged. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery

Charge Indicator glows green.

The two battery packs are charged in parallel. It takes approximately 5 hours to

fully charge the two battery packs when the power is off and approximately 6 hours

when the power is on (may need a longer charging time at lower temperatures).

CAUTION: After the Tablet PC has been fully recharged, do not

immediately disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge

it again. Doing so may damage the battery.
