Batteries Chapter Five - Power Management

: It is a good idea to occasionally discharge the battery pack fully to preserve its
operating performance.
An incorrect report of the battery status may be shown due to lost data of the
GAS-GAUGE IC caused by battery over-discharge. One reason for the battery to
over-discharge may be that the battery has not been charged for a long time. If
this is the case, a learning cycle is recommended to correct this problem.
The learning cycle is listed as follows:
1. Turn off the TREK 2 and use the AC adapter to charge the computer’s battery
pack to full.
2. Fully discharge and recharge the battery pack as described on page 71.
3. Remove the battery pack and check the GAS-GAUGE IC. If the indicator
shows 100% capacity then the learning cycle is done. Otherwise repeat the
learning cycle.
4. If after you try the second time and still fail to get the battery pack to 100%
capacity, contact Micron Electronics.

:
Only use batteries that are provided by Micron Electronics. All batteries are
not the same and therefore should not be treated as such. Using the wrong
battery could cause serious damage to your computer and yourself through
toxic emissions. Damage caused by a third party battery will not be covered
by the computer’s warranty.
Inserting and Removing the
Battery Pack
The battery pack should already be inserted in your TREK 2 computer when you
unpack it. If it is not inserted:
1. Turn off the TREK 2.
2. Open the battery bay door. Slide the battery release latch to the left.
3. Insert the battery into the empty compartment. It is designed so that it only fits
one way. It should easily click into place.
4. Close the battery compartment cover.
