To check the battery status from the battery: • Locate the battery gauge button and indicator lights on the back of the Tablet PC. The indicator lights show the remaining charge. Each light represents approximately 20% of a full charge. NOTE: If you push the battery gauge button and the top, middle, and bottom lights on the battery illuminate simultaneously, the battery has failed and must be replaced.
Removing and replacing the J3600 battery You can remove the battery to check the remaining power or replace it with a fully charged battery. To remove the battery: 1. Ensure that the Tablet PC is plugged into AC power or turned off. 2. Turn the Tablet PC over so that the back side is up. 3. Slide the battery release switch until the battery is partially ejected, and then pull the battery out of the battery bay.
Hot swapping the battery Changing a battery while the Tablet PC is in use and running on battery power is called “hot swapping.” You can hot swap a battery only if you have a second charged battery to replace the battery that is low on power. To swap a battery with a Tablet PC containing one battery and a battery bay cartridge (non-functioning): • If your Tablet PC has a battery and battery bay cartridge (non-functioning) installed, remove the battery bay cartridge and install the second battery.
• When running on battery power, place the Tablet PC in Hibernate mode or Sleep mode if you’re going to leave it unattended for more than a few minutes. For more information on Hibernate mode and Sleep mode, see Changing how the power button functions on page 56. • Remember that the display, processor, wireless cards, and accessories all draw on the battery, so adjust properties and disable unused accessories while running on battery power. • Condition your battery once a month.
ENERGY STAR® compliant The default power management settings on the J3600 have been selected for compliance with the ENERGY STAR® program and are recommended for optimal energy savings. The following power management settings are enabled by default: • Sleep Mode—When the Tablet PC is operating on AC power, Sleep mode is set to activate after 30 minutes of user inactivity.
